Songs like "Time," "Money," and "Us and Them" showcase the band's lyrical depth and musical experimentation. It's both introspective and universally relatable, with Roger Waters' poignant lyrics and David Gilmour's soaring guitar work standing out. A timeless classic, the album remains a pinnacle of progressive rock and a cultural landmark.

Highway 61 Revisited
Bob Dylan
2 Dylan albums is a bit much, as it turns out there is such a thing as too much Dylan.
Having said that, I enjoyed this album more than Blonde On Blonde, but not by much.
Bob Dylan is better in small doses, one song at a time; listening to an entire album is tiring.

All Things Must Pass
George Harrison
At first, All Things Must Pass feels a bit intimidating with a length of 2hrs, but once I settled in, it was a ride I didn't want to end. The mellow, introspective vibe flows through each track, revealing layers of George Harrison’s creativity and depth.
It's a beautifully immersive experience, and by the end, I was left wanting even more of that soulful, meditative sound.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears
The Mamas & The Papas
The album has its moments, but it doesn’t quite live up to its iconic reputation. While "Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin’" are undeniably catchy, much of the album feels repetitive and lacks the same spark. It’s fine as a piece of 60s nostalgia, but it doesn’t hold up as a must-listen today.

Let's be honest, he was not a good person, for that reason, I don't agree with the way he is idolized by so many.
I'm admittedly biased as I grew up on 90s hiphop, so there's a major nostalgia factor in play.
I love this album and appreciate the social commentary in his lyrics, notably in So Many Years, Lord Knows and Dear Mama.
Old School is such a great track as well.
