A fabulous bridge between the Velvet Underground and indie rock.
Groundbreaking and primo country rock.

A great album. One of the best Beatle albums from the first half of their career.
Some bangers but overall a mixed bag. Certain elements have not aged well.
Pretty good. A few standouts.
Lots of classics. I prefer the earlier and "weirder" Gabriel, but plenty to love in this album.
Some great songs but also some harsh, unlistenable ones.
Highlight here is Diminuendo in Blue, with the middle section by Paul Gonsalves. Outstanding!
I enjoyed it, esp. Human Behaviour
Bombastic but fun. Brought back memories of my high school days.
Great album by Tightly Wound Boy. Great to hear it again.
Pretty good. Too bad he's such a wanker.
Rare album with no duds.
Good mid-period Iggy collaboration with David Bowie.
Not my cup of tea.
Great album. Ideal mix of 70s pop and proto-funk.
A fantastic mix of melody, anger, guitars, swagger. I grew up on the US version, which is inferior to this one, although I miss "Complete Control"--perhaps my all-time favorite Clash song.
Some wonderful & unique songs and some filler. I will keep coming back to "Perfect Day," "Walk on the Wild Side," and "Satellite of Love." The other songs, not so much.
Not my cup of tea, but "Slightly All the Time" is pretty great.
Proto jam band. Some good songs. I favor versions of "Mona" and "Who Do You Love" by other artists, though.
Glad to have listened to this (once).
I am glad I listened to this one.
Fairport Convention without the heat.
"This Is a Call" and "Big Me" are transcendent. The rest are meh.
Moody sensitive Beck >> Rowdy frat boy Beck
I liked this one--good mix of psychedelia and power pop.
Meh.
Creditable Bowie
Love love love this album.
Fantastic album. Peak PJ! All killer, no filler!
Glad to listen to this. Sounded like something I would have liked when it came out. Hard to connect to it now.
Spectacular album. Docked one star for being a little too chilly in spots.
Lots of classic songs, but too slick for my taste.
Enjoyable indie pop record.
Not my favorite Pavement album, but lots of highlights.
Wonderful album. The lead song is iconic, the rest are just great.
Classic after classic on this one. Spectacular vocal performance by Artie. The songwriting by Paul hints at the twists and turns in his stellar solo career.
Excellent power pop record.
Brilliant!
Extraordinary, awe-inspiring, rollicking.
Great album from Ye before he became extra crazy
Premium grade funk. A fun ride.
I'm glad this one was on the list.
Premium class New Wave.
Great pop
Pretty great indie rock.
Pretty pretty pretty good live album
Great album. Love the expanded version.
Good smooth R&B
Good for what it is.
I actually like the instrumental jams.
I know my rating is irrationally high, but it is from my 15-year-old self.
Good British reggae - before UB40 went covers happy.
Beautiful and hypnotic.
Good slick R&B
Some primo garage rock mixed in with a few undistinguished copycat tracks.
A romp.
"Love the One You're With" is great. The rest is pleasant but unremarkable.
Big attitude
Chilly and bracing.
Some all-time classics mixed in with a few generic covers.
Swirling, mysterious, provocative. I love it.
A fantastic album--the apex of the Who. Every song is great. The musicianship is outstanding. The songs are compelling and original even if the Lifehouse concept is muddled.
Their peak, I think.
Grade A dance pop
OG ambient
Fun
Competent radio rock. Not my cup of tea.
Common People = 5 stars
Can I give this one six stars? An amazing album!
I had not heard this before, and I enjoyed it.
Primo
When Doves Cry = 6 stars
Deceptacon and Hot Topic = 5 stars
All killer no (or not very much) filler.
My first concert was seeing ELP at the Ohio State Fairgrounds in Columbus. I was infatuated with them at the time. That said, this album was never a favorite and hasn't aged well in the interim.
Peak Gram Parsons and a second peak for the Byrds
"Closer" and "Hurt" are great. The rest is too harsh and murky for my taste.
I wouldn't want to be a housemate of these guys, but the album is a blast.
Sophisticated and fun
It's a little slick for my taste, but it's a fantastic reimagining of the source material.
Some very good pop songs mixed in with some dreck
All-time classics mixed with some juvenalia
Sludge rock and not the good kind.
A great concept album.
Chilly
Peak 2000s indie. Stylistically diverse, fun, heart-rending.
Too much of a good thing.
Deluxe. Very fresh when it was released and still a pleasing listen.
"Beautiful" = 5 stars. The rest is pleasing R&B-inflected pop.
A fabulous bridge between the Velvet Underground and indie rock.
Prog rock at its best.
A revelation. Docked a point for being a bit rambly, but that is also part of its charm.
Fantastic concept and execution. Inspired.
I like Ram better, but only by a hair.
I loved it as an angsty teenager, and I still love it almost 50 years later.
Frenetic
Rousing.
The song "Marquee Moon" is guitar nirvana.
Apparently, some people love this stuff.
Stellar prog rock
Not for me
Great songs and great performances. Stewart's absolute peak.
Primo
Fabulous mashup of bossa nova and songbook crooning. My only criticism is that the album is too short (28 minutes). "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" is a standout track.
Maybe their best album and one of greatest rock and roll albums of all time.
A good start to a great career
An essential early punk album. It sounded like a transmission from an alien species when I first heard it. Subsequent Wire albums have left the same impression.
There's four- or five-star album hiding in here. Waaay too much filler.
Unhinged, in a good way.
Groundbreaking and primo country rock.
Music for a rampage.
Some of the production choices (bleeps and bloops) haven't aged well, but the songs and performances are top notch.
Some killer cuts and some filler, too.
Some ultra classics interspersed with dreck.
Very good, but not among the greatest Beach Boys albums
Progressive rock at its finest.
