Tom Sawyer was one of my favorite songs growing up. I got this album, not really being a Rush fan. I knew all my friends said 2112 was their greatest album. I got that one too, and think this one is 100X better. Side 1 with Tom Sawyer leading it off followed by Red Barchetta, YYZ, and Limelight is perfection. Side 2 doesn't compare but it still pretty great. 5/5
Dire Straits has such an iconic sound. You have to love them. Sultans of Swing is probably one of the best songs ever. Rating: 4/5 (A very good listen) Standouts: Sultans of Swing, Water of Love, Others: Down to the Waterline, Setting Me Up, In the Gallery, Wild West End,
This album just gets too much love all the time. Ever since I was a kid, all I heard was Tapestry this, Tapestry that. It is so overhyped that I had it in my mind that I should hate it. But, listen to it. It is so easy to enjoy. So many great songs and her voice is really nice. Can't hate what is great. Standouts: So Far Away, It's Too Late, I Feel the Earth Move, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, You've Got a Friend, Natural Woman, Tapestry Others: Beautiful, Where You Lead, Rating: 5/5
Great! Standouts (5/5): Brass in Pocket, Stop Your Sobbing, Kid, Precious, Mystery Achievement, The Wait, Private Life, Lovers of Today 4/5: Up the Neck, Space Invader Rating: 5/5
Green Onion is classic and they do some decent covers of Rinky Dink, I got a Woman, Twist and Shout, Stranger on a Shore, Lonely Avenue, One Who Really Loves You, You Can't Sit Down, A Woman A Lover A Friend and Comin' Home Baby.... Yes, the entire album other than Green Onions and Mo Green Onions are just cover versions. They give the songs their own flavor, but any band can do covers..... The Standout Covers: Behave Yourself, Lonely Avenue, and Comin' Home Baby... Rating: 3.5
A very well produced album. Jam packed with memorable sounds and songs. Standouts: Sledgehammer, Don't Give Up, Big Time, In Your Eyes, Red Rain, That Voice Again, Mercy Street. Many of the songs are / were overplayed, but overall there is no doubt this is a classic pop album.
Perfection 5/5

Basically a Greatest Hits albums, which I thought weren't allowed on this list. Why is this one ok but something like the Eagles Greatest Hits isn't... In any case...let's continue... It's an older style of music that really doesn't fit with any playlist that I would ever play. It is good, and to listen to an album like this every once in a while is cool. Best Tracks (5/5): Cry to Me Others (4/5): Can't Nobody Love You, You Can't Love Them All, He'll Have to Go, Goodbye Baby Rating: 3.5
Ska / Punk Rock Rating: 4.25 Message to You 5/5 (Dawning of a) New Era 5/5 Do the Dog 4.5/5 It's Up to You 4/5 Nite Klub 3.75 Doesn't Make it Alright 4.5/5 Concrete Jungle 4/5 Too Hot 4/5 Monkey Man 4/5 Blank Expression 4/5 Stupid Marriage 3.75 Little Bitch 3.5 Too Much Too Young 5/5 You're Wondering Now 5/5
Always loved this album. Kinda bubble gum pop, but takes me back to good times. Favorite song: Yeah Yeah
Can’t go wrong with these guys. 4.5
5/5 Classic Classic-Rock album. So many GREATS: Walk this Way, Sweet Emotion, Big Ten Inch, Toys in the Attic!
5/5. Can I give it a 6/5 You won't find very many albums better than this one.
Really great. RIP Sinead.
5/5 Classic.
Classic and an important record because it brought in a whole new wave of fans to the genre.
I'm one of those that don't get the love for Bob Dylan. His voice goes from OK to annoying to interestingly good from song to song. This is one of the better albums though, with several well known songs. 4/5
4/5 Perfectly fine.
Pink Floyd (Debut Album) 1967 Psychedelic Rock, acid pop, experimental rock, space rock Sometimes I don't know which version of the album to listen to. This one has a UK release, US release and the 40th Anniversary edition (which includes the songs on both UK and US releases.... So I pretty much went with the 40th Anniversary edition so I can get it all in. Either way, the Syd Barrett Pink Floyd is SO different than the Pink Floyd I grew up listening to. I really didn't like this album the first several time I listened to it. BUT, as I kept listening to it because of it's inclusion on this list, I really grew to love it. It is hard to consider it Pink Floyd - because it is so completely different. Yes, I think it is great now. Rating: 4.5 Tracks: Astronomy Domine Lucifer Sam Matilda Mother Flaming Pow R. Toc H Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk Interstellar Overdrive The Gnome Chapter 24 The Scarecrow Bike See Emily Play (US version) Arnold Layne (40th Anniversary) Candy and A Currant Bun (40th Anniversary) Apples and Oranges (40th Anniversary) Paintbox (40th Anniversary)
Definitely not the best album cover, but it's what inside that matters! Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Green River, Commotion, Night Time is the Right Time, and Tombstone Shadow are all five-star classics. The remaining songs are solid with the standout of them being Wrote a Song for Everyone. No complaints but just wish it was bit longer. Rating: 5/5
One of my favorite albums of all time. I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World) was the song that brought most of us to the album. I'm so glad that I liked the song so much that I bought the album... it immediately appealed to me. Favorite tracks: IGY, New Frontier, Maxine, Ruby Baby, Green Flower Street, The Goodbye Look, Walk Between the Raindrops, and The Nightfly. Rating: 5/5 (Brilliant) By the way... I.G.Y. = "International Geophysical Year" July 1957 to December 1958.
Santana, 1970, Latin Rock Standouts: Black Magic Woman, Oye Como Va, Samba Pa Ti, Hope You're Feeling Better 4.5
Love it. This is one of his best!
It is a fine album to listen to. No really complaints. It just seems pretty average. Couldn’t they find something more worthwhile? 3.5
This album changed rock music forever. 5/5
Progressive rock. Probably one of the most difficult genres to get into (for those that aren't already fans of that style of music.) I've heard this album before. Several times. It is always on lists like this, so I have given it many chances. I still don't get it. I like Brain Salad Surgery so much more. 3.5/5
Rating: 4/5 Trans-Europe Express [5/5] The Hall of Mirrors [5/5] Showroom Dummies [4/5] Europe Endless [4/5] Abzug [4/5] Endless Endless [4/5] Metal on Metal [4/5] Franz Schubert [4/5]
I Can See for Miles is great, then there are a few pretty decent songs. Nothing great here. 3.75
Hate to admit how good this is.
While You See a Chance and Arc of a Diver are 5/5, the rest are solid. 4/5
I Love ELO but this is a lot at once. Maybe if this was a single album instead of a double-album.... anyways still good. 4/5

Classic: Silent all These Years, Crucify What a unique style. Rating: 4.5
One of the most perfect albums ever made. Classic start to finish - every song is 5/5.
Really great!
Brilliant. I love every song.
RIP Brian Wilson.
5/5 Easy. Classic. Every song is amazing. Standouts: Two out of Three Ain't Bad, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights, You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth, Bat Out of Hell, For Crying Out Loud
Um. Ummmm. I…. ? What was that? The most interesting part was learning about the controversial calendar it came with. There was one song maybe and a lot of noise. I guess it could be interesting at times. Still giving it 3/5 is generous. 2.5 for me.
Love this album!
Love this F&^$ing album! Standouts: Everything! Every F&^$ing song! 5/5
Absolutely brilliant. 5/5. Number 9, Number 9, Number 9.... Ok that one, Revolution 9, has always been a bit odd, but I've grown to love it. The whole album is classic - full of amazing songs.
Awesome. 5/5
