One of my favorite albums from that time and still today. Great lyrics, great pace and Elvis At his best!!

Definitely interesting, not what I expected from the Beach Boys. An attempt at more socially conscious subject matter, I think - Student Demonstration Time is too weird. I really like Feel Flows, feel like I've heard this before. Harmonies on Til I Die and Surf's Up are great, classic beach boys

This is fun! Loving the guitars in the first song so far...probably not something i'd come back to but really good overall, reminds me of jam bands

Of course I'm pretty familiar this one, but it really is great. I was surprised at how much I liked "The Great Gig in the Sky" and "Eclipse" - love the backing vocals!

Love some of these songs, not a fan of all the pan flute or whatever that is but the African drum sounds are great. "Mother and Child Reunion" is an all-time favorite.

I had listened to this a few years ago and forgot how much I liked a lot of these songs (beyond just Blister in the Sun). A unique sound and a lot of fun, for the most part. A few I didn't love, but pretty impressive capturing of what it's like to be a high school guy written by musicians who were less than 18!

Obviously love "Piece of My Heart." Some of it is a little too hippie 60s for me. The bluesy stuff is great

Love a 33-minute album. Lots of classics and fun.

Classic!

Love this album. Pretty perfect to me. Old school sounds, bluesy, full of hits and “classics”

Familiar with Pusherman, Super Fly and a couple others - love this. smooth!

Really fun listen for the first half. Dragged a little at the end

A little sad but she has a great voice, very nice

"Ascension" was already a favorite. R&B classic, not something I'd listen to very often but quality.

Not really my cup of tea, but she is good and I liked more as it went on. Chrissie Hynde/Patti Smith/Fiona Apple vibes in parts.

Definitely dated and repetitive but I like early hip-hop and am impressed by a 19-year-old Black woman breaking into the male-dominated rap game in 1989.

I like this a lot! Don't love the vocals but some really good songs.

I've always liked the popular Rage songs, but not necessarily something I want to listen to front-to-back. Screaming "Bullet in your Head" for mintues on end isn't exactly calming. Still, good stuff.

Laughing at this opening song about the mundanity of grown-up life - adulting, as we say now. "Tainted Love" is great of course. "Seedy Films" is BAD. I can't help but think of Ross on "Friends" when he busts out his keyboard and plays his songs from college. SEX DWARF OMG

Classic. Not 100% polished yet, but still The Beatles! I always loved their version of "You Really Got a Hold on Me." And of course "All My Loving" is a must.

Like the "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" lyrics appearing in "O My God." - nice surprise for me. "Mother" is way too weird. Pretty great overall, especially toward the end, from "Every Breath You Take" on!

Mid, not great not terrible. Impressed that he played all the instruments and I do like his voice.

Classic! Always love Sinatra

Loved this album when it came out. It's a little of it's time, slow, but still very enjoyable

Not my favorite style but I like this, have always loved "Your Move"

This was fun!

Reminds me of Dido, Alanis, Natalie Merchant. Beautiful voice and good tunes.

I liked this, some toward the end weren't as strong. Nice 60s grooves.

One of my all-time favorites.

Classic, a little slow but they have beautiful voices and harmonies. I didn't love the first 8 minutes of "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," ha

Really loved this! I had never heard it before and was pleasantly surprised.

Not something I'd go back to, but I like it

I can hear how this band influenced a lot of bands I loved in high school. Feels important for my music appreciation :)

I tried to resist but it got me

Chrissy Hynde rocks

So good. So many hits, love his voice, great vibe

Not the world's biggest Dylan fan, but if I had to pick one it's this. Have loved "Don't think twice it's alright" for a long time. Very yearning, wistful music, to me.

Loved this when it came out.

a classic
