It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

Popular Reviews

An absolute classic

If I had to rank the top 100 hip hop albums of all time - It Takes a Million is a top 5 for sure and perhaps top 3. There is a magnetic energy and charge to Chuck D's lyrics that make this an important album for the ages.

Perfection

Pretty solid britpop album

6th best Radiohead album makes it a classic nonetheless

4-Star Albums (344)

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Never a fan. She is a great vocal talent, but her style of singing is nothing more than trying to eat the microphone like some side show freak. Considering some of this album was posthumously done - a 7 at best.

Neil's best album

Maybe their 6th or 7th best album - odd filler tracks.

Superior to Paranoid in a lot of ways...

Average...prefer Pretty Hate Machine

Classic!!!

It is just ok...

My favorite album by Willie....

Maybe his 7th best album......his faith got in the way of his mental health.

Definitely in my top 1000 albums of all time.

A classic.

Not their best - but top 3 for sure.

3rd fav

Very good

Excellent

2nd best album of theirs....classic...

Am is better....but ok

Very cool

One of the classics of all time...

Top 5 Britpop albums ever...

Very good.

Smooth jazz vocals

top 10 live album of all time....found it good

It was way overrated - only two good songs on there. His vocal tones were the worst....

Very surprisingly good

Not the best of the britpop bands of the time....just ok...

I have it #5 on my all time Neil Albums - very solid

Classic country....

His second best album....

It was a bit overrated...

Solid.

Definitely the best album of that year....

Their 2nd best album and one of the best of 2010s.

Their best album for sure.....Infested is close.

Average

2nd best

Very important blues album....

It certainly is too long for repeated listens - but essential to do so at least once....

Best Britpop album of all time...

Very strong album for Neil.

Top 25 album....

A masterpiece

His best

Gelreat album

Great stuff

Solid album to be sure.

it was just ok....

excellent album....

Pretty solid britpop album

Their 2nd best album and 2nd best album of 2010

Just ok...

Really enjoy it surprisingly

I have it as my 6th favorite album of all time - and the 2nd best of the 90's and #1 in REM's catalog.

Their best...

Classic

First half is phenomenal and then takes a weird turn....

Very solid offering from the Whites

Superb - his 2nd best....

Golden age of hip hop

It's ok

Top notch

7th best....

His 3rd best but a classic

A landmark album...

Very good album.....

Underrated artists.....

A near perfect album

It's fine

Important album -

Perfection

It was ok - prefer others in the genre more....

I thought this album wasn't bad - dance alt rock

A very solid album by Gore and the boys

A staple of the prog community.

I like all her albums - When the Pawn is the best - this one is a 4 star album among many 4.5 stars.

It is just ok

I honestly didn't care for this....

Not bad - great mix of genres.

Never really got back to what made them special....

Just circled back to it - Ali F. Toure is a talented player.....

Nice.

Her best...

Classic

Very very interesting sound.....need more listens....

An instant classic as I added 10 songs right off the bat to my playlist....

Morrissey tends to drone on a bit for me....

My favorite of his albums to be sure....

Masterpiece my friends....

Surprisingly good

Hard to digest at times

2nd best album behind Rum, Sodomy and the Lash

It was fine. I am very picky about the neo-soul genre and it is not enough to be sexy - you genuinely have to bring something new to the table.

Not their best - but it's decent. Prefer Summerteeth or Sky Blue Sky

Pretty solid....

Nu metal with a twist....

Not my vibe. Just ok

A classic album.....

One of at least 5 Stevie Wonder albums that are superb

Classic

I was surprised on how good the album was....

I found it just ok - despite everyone raving on this album.

Just ok...short....

After the Woods....their beat

Classic album for the time - solid

Classic Early trip hop....

Great album....

An absolute classic - a Rushmore for metal.

A hip hop classic

So amazing

Its a classic of communal folk rock - not my vibe is the only reason its not a 5.

Fairly classic yet commercial success

I prefer Hot Buttered Soul

Excellent stuff....huge Dylan buff.

Very solid

Surprisingly good

I thought this was excellent.

Very important college radio album - very unique sound.

Second fav Beatles Album....

Maybe the 3rd Best but still very good.

It's an interesting album - Introducing was better....

Classic....prog

Awesome..

Awesome

It was solid.

Very solid...

Not a fan if this one

Early alternative important album.....nice.

Classic!!

It was ok

Very important early psych rock / alt rock

Their best in my opinion - top 100 album for me.

It is better than given credit but far short of a classic....

They had the best run of 5 albums of the late 60's and early 70's

Important early alternative....

A bit overrated.

Exceptional

Seems an important album - but I will give it a modest score for now

Classic

Pretty damn good -

2nd best album...good

Surpringly good

Not bad but not a relistening vibe

I thought it important but a bit dated.

The beat sampled album of all time. Kanye is godfatherbof chipmunk soul

This and Birth of Cool are by far in a way his best....

A big fan of the Purple -

I like both artists individually - but something is missing here....is ok

Very good album - maybe 6th on my list though of Bowie best...

Top 20 albums of all time for me.

Sok

Pretty seminal alternative rock album of the 90s

People who are fans of Nick Drake - will love Elliott Smith......a grand album

Solid album

It was a very much of the time concept. Its fine.

Perhaps their best....

Top 3 Glam Rock album of all time

Excellent darkwave album

Very good britpop

6th best Radiohead album makes it a classic nonetheless

Certainly an important record for them....

Surprisingly good

I wasn't expecting much but surprised....

Not bad...

Love it

Could be Mould best work overall....

2nd best album of all time perhaps....

UK or US version - both great....

This guys are truly underrated in the alt rock scene - give Paul Leary some props....

Graciously cool album....

So f'n cool...

Pretty solid

It's powerful....

Amazing in every way

This one caught me by surprise - very nice.

Very surprised. Like it

Not a huge Byrds guy - but ok.

It's ok

Love it

Really the best album post Tunnel of Love he ever released.

It's the beatles

very good album.....

Yeah...its fine

He is the man of the power spoken word album.

Not a fan of the man but a good album.

Very cool vibe

His albums are ok - but I do think a bit overrated at times...

Masterpiece - loved it thru and thru.

Another classic

Pure adrenaline

I thought the album was fine. But honestly True Blue is a far better album.

Very cool sound

For a world album - it was a solid offering.

Challenging record to say the least but I will buy into it...

Fantastic album

Solid album...his best

Good album...not my daily vibe

It's ok

Very powerful...creative

I thought it was ok...seems mediocre in spots

Love Steely Dan

An absolute classic

Its fine - maybe a bit overrated.

This was actually pretty cool....

I dig it

2nd best album....

Ehhhhh

Their 2nd best. Love bryan ferry.

An all time classic to some but I think its just ok. Young certainly made the band more than what it should have been.

It's very good

I think they are interesting....but not top 1001

A jazz classic....beautiful stuff

Surprising I kind of like the album.....interesting early stuff...

A clear masterpiece. Though not my fav...

Ehhhh....ok

A classic that takes the right frame of mind to listen...

Pretty cool

It's ok. Prefer latter material

Excellent!!

Ehhhh

Nice album....

a great start to a fantastic band....

Classic stuff...

Classic

I love the innovation...

Classic 80s vibe....so I dig it

A masterpiece - yet only my 3rd favorite of Miles.....

It's ok

Pretty solid

It was ok compared to his first two

Huge fan of Eno - maybe my 3rd favorite overall.

A staple of the genre - their latter work is pretty solid as well.

It's that early combo of dream pop and electronica that was accessible to the general public.

Classic at double the fun.

Surprised how good this was

Over-represented on the list....I think they are ok

OK - a bit overrated for me - but I am ok with it.....

Not really my cup of tea for Country Rock - but I get why people wanna talk about it...

Obviously Bob is monumental in so many ways. What I disagree with - is having 5 or 6 of his albums in a top anything list. Reality is reggae by in large sounds samey same and afterwards if you played a random non-hit single .....I doubt anyone would know the name of it.

This is actually my 3rd favorite Coltrane record - I thought its religious undertones makes some aspects of it too dissonant for my tastes. Blue Train and Ascension are better.

Not a big Jeff Beck guy - I heard about the greatness, but have yet to hear it in the music....

It was fine - and very much of a time.

An absolute classic in the genre - go away Sex Pistols - the Ramones rule the stage....

It's your birthday!!

One of the top albums of the 70's and Stevie's best in a series of 5 super powered albums released by him. A clear 5

Definite the start of something great.....but a little thin on this one.

Seems important to some. It's relatively mediocre to me.

Love this album!

It's a good album....

She has an interesting voice

His early stuff is so good.....

It was my 7th favorite album of the 90s and that is saying something....gone to soon Jeff. Rest in peace brother.

I remember playing the hell out of this cassette....classic....

It was ok....

Surprised how much I dig it

It is what it is - and its fine.

Pretty great

Top 10 trip hop album

Great new wave album

Basically as close to icelandic trip hop as you can get - exceptional album.....

Very good...

It's ok...

Love me some tom

Weaker cave

An underrated masterpiece that was overshadowed by a single event - that later proved she was a head of her time....

Traffic was a bit hit or miss for me, but this was a hit....

His best

Classic c&w

2nd fav Beck project....

Some great honky tonk tunes....which are my kind of country.

Amazing in every way

I didn't mind this album at all - love hearing new sounds...

Entertainment and fun

Maybe my 5th or 6th fav album of theirs but still good

Absolute brilliance....

So great to listen to

I was actually fond of this album - very tight album.

5 stars might not do it

Even my 8th favorite Radiohead album is good....

Not too shabby

Very interesting

I think it ok for a live album

I love these new discoveries for music - best part of this project.

Jack White is a tour de force in rock n roll for the 21st century....

Fun album

just not a fan of the vibe of the record -

Hell yes!!

their best album

It's just ok

Clearly a top 20 album of all time on almost any list...

A staple of grunge

I really do like Judas Priest and I am glad they made the HOF

Yes

Its a staple of my teen years - so a bit fun

Britpop Mt. Everest

Love this album

It's ok...bookends is better

I liked it very much - Sexy!!!

It's just ok

Never been a huge fan, but I understand how great they are in their scene.

Prefer the first one - but ok

A classic to be sure....

Love this album

It's fine...a little dated.

Top 30 album for me.

Ehhh....overrated.

Ummm....no

Great album...

A bit bloated but some great hits.

My fav Halen album

Ehhh...a tad overrated

One of the best albums of the 90s

Interesting

Ehhhh

It's better than expected

Classic

Truly interesting record

The best album of all time hands down.

Maybe 5th best u2

Ok...pretty great

Hate jam bands
