James Brown Live At The Apollo
James BrownThere are very few live albums I enjoy. This ainโt one of them. So much crowd noise.

Enjoyed the album. A lot of talking heads songs I hadnโt heard before. Overall hits, a few misses.
A master of his craft. Super warm acoustics, full sound.
Iโve overlooked iggy for awhile. Solid album but not groundbreaking for me. Lofi 70โs Brit rock
Solid album from that era. More country feel than I was expecting.
The clash is so awesome. At some point I should really decide what my fav album is. This one his good, lots of ska vibes.
You canโt listen to the album and be in a bad mood. If youโre a fan of Louis Armstrong then this slaps.
I love Jamie XX and the xxโs first album but this one sucks. On Hold is the only redeeming track.
Since hip hop is so lyrical dominant itโs difficult for an English speaker to get the full experience of a French rap album. Nevertheless Solaar has great flow, phrasing and the production on the instrumentals is pretty fantastic especially for 1991 hip hop.

Bjork is obviously a talented musician but I just donโt get the appeal.
The instruments at the opening of every track had me excited that it would be good. Then Scott starts singing and ruins the mood.
A 4 track album considered one of the greatest live albums? Come on. Maybe if the tracks were 15 minute jams each. Nope. Total runtime 21 minutes.
Great energy. Reminds me of Operation Ivy.
So awesome. Bluesy jazz with that electric organ sound. Gotta listen to more Jimmy Smith
Well put together album. If I didnโt think of Toy Story the whole time Iโd probably love it more.
Whatever you have to say about MJ, Quincy Jones produced one hell of an album. It must have been totally crazy to be alive when this came out.
I enjoy jazz but this is the era I just canโt do. Individually every musician on this album is super talented. When they recorded this it sounds like they were all recording different songs. Sounded like a mess.
Fun album. Someone said โthe American beatleโ which I could see the connection with a number of his songs.
Solid album and pleasurable to listen to the whole thing through.
Boring old generic country twang. No hits.
Pleasant enough indie rock album thatโd Iโd be open to listening to againn
As much as Iโve always wanted to love this album it just doesnโt do it for me. No doubt itโs influential and weird and respect for all that.
I always put this below Quality Control but itโs actually a pretty great album. The drums are super crisp and overall great production value.
A defining album at the time. While there are some great songs scattered throughout, as a whole the album is a way too long and has an erratic flow of emotions that feel incoherent next to each other.
Well made but Iโm just not into prog rock. Itโs like reading a fantasy novel.
While not something Iโd normally listen to, this is a solid album. Pleasant relaxing mood for evenings or anytime you want to take a break from your day.
An important work without a doubt. Also a pleasant soundscape of Indian music to put on when the mood strikes.
An album you can listen to anytime.
One of the standards for indie music of this era. Lots of great songs.
I always wrote Rod Stewart off because I associated him with โif you think Iโm sexyโ and his later raspy crooner era. But his early albums are much more like Faces and really enjoyable.
I didnโt totally love it but recognize its impact.
Much better than her more recent stuff. Listenable!
Thereโs a reason theyโre the GOAT. Great album with a lot of genre variations. Maybe not my favorite Beatles album but amazing non the less.
Just an amazing album. So many songs that have remained hits.
I like some of the specials songs; ghost town and message to Rudy. And I wish I could unhear this album. Loungy and cheesy to the point of self parody. Bummer.
After a random hangout with the band during their tour for this album I picked it up and gave it a listen. It didnโt really hit for me and every few years Iโll give it another chance hoping it grows on me differently. 15 years later and it still doesnโt hit. I donโt know if itโs how it was mixed but for the most part it doesnโt sound right and is hard to enjoy. Maybe David just doesnโt have any rthyme with his guitar. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Nice concept to tell a story but pretty boring to listen to. Dry your eyes mate, thereโs plenty more music to enjoy elsewhere.
Beck makes good tunes.
Solid funk album with a few hit singles
Decently fun early punk album. In perspective that itโs the first punk album, thatโs pretty cool.
Fun. It rocks. Couple of big hits.
Pretty amazing story of how this album came to be. A defining sound of classic rock from the late 70โs
I dunno why but I love this album as a whole.
Itโs a weird album. Mostly instrumental but not so avante garde that itโs unlistenable. More of an off take on composing an orchestra.
For an old school hip hop album this bangs. I probably wonโt pick it up very often if ever, but pretty amazing given its context in musical history.
Some nice moments. Funky bass lines are cool but the album feels pretty dated as a whole. On the cusp between fun and obnoxious. Itโll probably scratch the itch for those who itโs nostalgic. I donโt think itโll appeal to many new listeners.
A handful of classics within the American pyshe. Always a fun time revisited the full source.
Beautiful moments. Quiet, reflective, sad but some hope. This was a collection of Nina songs I wasnโt familiar with.
Smooth r&b electronic with heavy middle eastern world music vibes. Surely this has a market but itโs not for me. 2 stars because itโs not unlistenable.
1 star. Didnโt even make it through the album.
So funny. I had never really listened to Iron Maiden and thought of it as heavy bad ass metal. These guys are obviously excellent musicians but d&d fantasy dorks through and through. Maybe 80โs badass just doesnโt age well. 3 stars.
Arguably a great album with tons of abba hits. While I can enjoy it I doubt Iโll ever reach to put it on myself again.
Fun playful and a bit folksy. Paul Simon is great.
Itโs fun and probably was a total wild and different sound for the time.
Epic and so dated. The symphony backing rock gods. Cool. Couldnโt get through the whole thing.
Just boring masturbatory shit
Pure nostalgia for me. Green Dayโs only really great album.
Itโs hard to listen to Neil Young for an entire album, but this is a really good live album
Probably wonโt ever listen to it again but actually pretty magnetic album.
Some fun hits but overall not my bag
Roadhouse blues songs. Feels like they phoned in the album to appease their base.
Kinda great live album if youโre in a Johnny cash mood
Boring psyche rock
