Wow, it’s hard to believe this is his first, and not a greatest hits album. Lots of really good tunes, and “Alison” just gets better and better with age. “Watching the Detectives” still has an incredible base line and punchey drums, “Less than Zero”, and “Blame it on Cain” still hold up 45 years.

Very repetitive

This is an example of a relatively unheard of recording, that rocks. I loved it the first time I heard it and have loved it ever since.

Wasn’t really excited to listen to another Reggae album, but a number of these tunes we quite good.

A few good ones, still as depressing as when I first heard it.

Solid!

Still sounds a fresh and new as my first listen 58 years ago. Even the covers are new and alive.

A lot of great live performances, really took me back

Very good writing and production

Ground breaking, these guys started synchro-tech.

Lots of raw energy, but it all sounds the same after awhile

Not exactly my kind of music, but a very good album

4 or so solid tunes that still hold up, not into the stuff

Lots of good stuff, and energy

Two timeless classics Marianne & Suzanne, but the rest is hard to listen to.

Lots of noise

This is a waist of vinyl/CD/memory on any device. What a piece of crap,

This is torture

Eh

Wow haven’t heard this before (but have heard other “Queens” recordings), and I like it. A lot! For a first recording, it’s a keeper.

Very enjoyable

Very repetitive

Never have been a big BG fan, and after listening to this, know I will never be one. A lot of the same old thing

I am not a fan of hip-hop and never will be

Very aggressive, and it all sounds the same to me. If this is on the 1001 best, I can’t imagine what’s on the 1001 worst

Very solid recording that stands up well over time

Well everyone has their opinion, I reviewed a few for this recording. The individuals that rated this anything over 2, I wonder what they think of Dark side of the moon? This was another me 2 hip hop piece of turd, with very little originality. The only saving moment was the string arrangement

Still sounds great

Wow this is still really great music, time has only made this recording better. Marc Bolan was a brilliant composer and musician that unfortunately passed way before his time. David Bowie had it right.

Still not a big hip hop fan (is it not possible to write lyrics without explicit language?)

Eh

Still great

Still holds up, lots of great tunes

Excellent writing and recording of happy catchy tunes. This has held up well over time.

Not the best example of ELP’s work, but still much better than many of the 1001

This one made it to my 1001 mediocre albums picked out of a 2nd hand store. To classify this as any sort of “Rock” is blasphemy.

Great tunes, these guys rock

Lots of good numbers

Lots of good memories

Kill me now, I can’t believe so many people bought this crap

A classic

Sad to think he knew he was dying when he recorded it

This is truly a recording that deserves to be on the 1001 list of greatness

A lot of great rocking tunes

Wow, I haven’t heard this for a long time, but “Rip it up” and “I can’t help myself” still sound good

American Pie is still a great song, most of the rest of this album is so so at best

The was the worst recorded music? Yet!

Ya I could set up a sequencer and record an album of 💩 like this, but I have mercy.

Ehh, perhaps it was ok when released, but I have no space or time for this

Still great

Still rocking

This is very dark music! Not advised for people who like to be positive or happy. Not foe me

Ehh, I guess if you’re into head-banding stuff, you can knock yourself out in this one. Not for me thanks

An incredible Blues artist with a great collection of his work

Wow a lot of people must have bee wry stoned (or out of their minds) to have actually paid for this audio recording. I still can’t understand how or why so much of this garbage makes it into this list (perhaps people related to the artist). Save your money for Radiohead

Solid

A lot of these songs still hold up

Lots of great songs

Great to be depressed with

One hit wonder not the most creative band

Still holds up

Absolutely fantastic after 50+ years

Lil’ Rich rocks

Wow surprising good

Oh I have only one wish when it comes to Bob Dylan: keep writing music, stop singing! I have seen him live (as an opening act) 3 times and walked out every time. He is a brilliant writer, but can’t sing (or perform) for shit

Quite interesting

Solid, great writing that has held up extremely well

Brilliant! Well written, great production, very enjoyable

Eh, very 1980’s

It’s no Avlon

Still quite enjoyable

Many of these tunes have held up well

Nothing new, same old

The bonus tracks were an added treat

A classic

Wow! I was thinking typical gross lyrics but this was so good, it blew my mind! So jazzy and progressive. May you be smiling in Heaven, cause this is brilliant (and unexpected) I listened to it twice and then found “The Hot Rat Sessions” for a mind blowing set of studio cuts

This is an example of a relatively unheard of recording, that rocks. I loved it the first time I heard it and have loved it ever since.

Over played, almost every track has the same drum beat

Unfortunately this has not aged well, but I enjoyed it back in the day

Really great to listen to

There is nothing to say except, this is one of the finest recordings of all time

Outstanding!

If Chrissy Hind and Lou Reed had a baby

There are so many great Blur recordings, and this is definitely one of them

Many solid tunes

Same old, nothing ground breaking

We bought this when it was released, and were blown away with so many amazing songs. 55 years later it is still so solid! Yes there are a few so-so efforts (like Honey Pie, Rev #9), however when you consider how many incredible songs are on this double LP: -Well my Guitar gently weeps -Helter Skelter - Obla de - Back in the USSR - I’m so tired - Dear Prudence - Sexy Sadie - Rocky Raccoon - Piggies - Julia - I will - Birthday - Revolution 1 - Mother Nature’s son Above all my favorite is Yer Blues “The eagle picks my eye The worm he licks my bone I feel so suicidal Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones Lonely Want to die If I ain't dead already Oh, girl, you know the reason why Black cloud crossed my mind Blue mist round my soul Feel so suicidal Even hate my rock and roll” This is truly one of my top 10!

A true master, but a lot of it sounds the same

Rod had one good LP, Every Picture tells a story. He has only written a handful of songs, and without Ron Wood he probably wouldn’t have made it. No wonder he had to switch to M.O.R. (Sap crap)

Not a big rap fan, but “The message “ and “White lines” are excellent.

Still sounds fresh
