Pleasantly surprised by it
its ok..they are still finding their sound, but some listenable tracks
its bob dylan. pretty standard bob dylan. nothin exciting
its ok - nothing amazing. last song was fab
This completely surprised me. I was expecting long drawn out organ solos, but it had great guitar riffs and complete mix of different styles. Would definitely listen to this again. Very different to the doors i have been exposed to
that was painful to listen to. I realise it is an important album for electronic music, but there is a lot of electronic music that stands head and shoulders above this. Nothing was even remotely interesting
You Said Something on its own could give this album 5 stars,but the reality is that more than half the songs on this album standout. This album is a great mix between styles from To Bring You My Love and Rid of Me/Dry. I need to own the physical nedia of this album. This album is special
I would definitely listen to this again. The album is well structured and keeps you drawn in with good variation interspersed with familiar hits
Average album. nothing really stands out. Connected was obviously a massive hit in the day, but outside of that the album is very monotonous
A beautifully structured album, with great contrast in styles, while there are elements that make the White Stripes the White Stripes, there is definitely some experimentation of sounds in this album. Some really standout tracks too. Would absolutely give it another listen and buy it if I saw it. Ironically the most popular song (Fell in Love with a girl) is the worst song on the album. It is the generic 2000s style that I cant stand the you see with the strokes and the Arctic monkeys etc
This was an incredible surprise. Having not heard it before (a period where I was not listening to new music at all due to family commitments) i was truly blown away. It is ethereal, unique and captivating. I need to own this album
Totally Blown away by this. A sensational album with beautiful bluesy rock. An artist I have never really listened to and cheap thrills absolutely will go onto the "must listen to" list. The album is littered with incredible and powerful songs
Its the beatles and a Hard Days night. It is something we have all heard a thousand times and know. It doesn't blow you away because it is so familiar. A few songs are less familiar but still solid. I am more partial to later experimental beatles compared to this jangly pop era, but still a standout album
Great Jazz album to enjoy in the background, but Jazz is not a style that i would sit down and listen to necessarily. it is a good album
I feel like I need to give it another listen. You can tell that a lot of this was conceived during the Pet Sounds era, its fully of drug fuelled styles and lyrics. The album is all over the place and no single song stands out, but it was a cacophony of different moods all thrown together that kind of worked. I started wanting to give it a 2 and then by the end I felt it deserved a 4
I have to try be objective about this because it is a popular band and album and really tried to listen to it objectively, but i really can't get behind this type of rock music. It really does nothing for me. You shook me all night long is ok...but probably because I have heard it a million times. If not, it would probably not stand out like the rest of the tracks, which all seemed to sound the same. it was pretty generic and sounded all the same. Shake a leg had at least a little bit of variation
What a way to start the album! Honey is an absolute Vibe. In fact the first 6 songs are all great. Bodyrock is a bit out of place, but still fits in with the whole vibe of the album. Every song is a little surprise as to what will come next. Album ends beautifully and peacefully. This is damn close to a 5 star album
An album well know to me. all the songs are familiar and all are thoroughly enjoyable to listen to
It was pleasant to listen to in the bacground whilew working. I did not pay attention to any partovilar song (as in none stood out) but they were all equally pleasant. I would put this on t olisten to while doing something else, and would possibly buy the album if i came across it, but I would not seek it out
It was a pleasant album to listen to but nothing grabbed me and made me want to listen to it again
It is good. a genre that i ventured into in the late 80s and early 90s but never really listened to NWA. a great listen. I would likely not buy the record, but I enjoyed it
Listened to this album hundreds of time when it came out. An excellent album with hard hitting lyrics and great samples. Would love to own a copy
It was....Funky...and a good listen, but I cant see myself searching it out again
It was pleasant to listen to, but that is about it. I wont be buying the record or seeking it out again
This is what I would classify as a perfect album. There is not one bad song. The album is beautifully structured and is a pure pleasure to listen to. it build to a crescendo in the form of the title track and then slowly descends into the incredible closing track. I have been listening to it for 30 plus years and i never get tired of it. I own this record of course
It was ok. Tuesdays gone was the standout for me. Would i listen again? Unlikely
Started well with We don't Care, but then it had that annoying Graduation day like nails being driven into my ear. a few pretty average songs and then spaceship is ok. Don't like the R&B songs on the album (i.e. Slow Jamz). I can see why it is popular, just not my style of music. Mostly painful to the ears, Won't listen to it again
The album kept me entertained throughout with continuous new songs standing out for e. The title track and Only love can break your heart are the real standout tracks for me. Beautifully constructed folk album. I would not mind owning this
I am not really sure how to take this album. For one, it is nothing what I expected. I was expecting a lot more traditional rock riffs. There was a nice mix of different styles. I definitely need to listen to more of their music
this is an album that you sit down and listen to. It is not background music, you need to commit yourself to sit down and enjoy it. It is experimental, but it hooks you with incredible harmonies and beautiful instrumentation and samples. it is so close to a 5 star album that I am giving it 5. "How can i be closer yet so far away" Reservations is a perfect way to end the album
L7 must have been influenced by them because some of the sound is identical. The trumpet amidst punk rock is an interesting combination, but it kind of works. It was interesting enough to listen to. Not sure I would seek it out again though
there was nothing too outstanding about this. Pretty standard rock album with nothing that caught my attention. Was it terrible? No, would i listen again, No
Some great classic songs interspersed amongh some listenable songs. I would listen again
I have come to a realisation that I am a David Gilmour era pink floyd fan. While there were some good songs to listen to, there is nothing really that excited me about this album at all. I cannot see myself selecting this to play when other pink floyd albums are available
One of those bands that I know all the songs, love all the songs, but dont own any of their records. Yes i would buy this if I came across it
Where do I start. This is the album that gave me an appreciation of old country. It is timeles and perfect. I had not listened to it for years but as each song came on , it produced a smile to my face. One of those albums I don't own but absolutely must
its..Kanye West. Not my genre. The album is ok, it just does not excite me. I am not going to listen to it again. Runaway was ok
its guitar rock. Nothing that i really found too amazing, gut it wasn't unbearable. Never really listened to ZZ Top, a and likely won't listen to ZZ top again
I enjoyed the second album of hers, so was interested to listen to this. It was enjoyable to listen to, but nothing ouststanding. Would I listen again, probably not
Listening to this again was like a breath of Fresh air. It has been years since I last listened to it in full. it starts at 100 miles per hour and just never stops. 40 minutes of pure guitar driven addrenallin
Not knowing what to expect, I found a smile developing on my face after the first track, and immediately dug deep to learn more about them. And then I heard Mushroom, which I know from The Jesus and Mary Chain. Interest definitely piqued now! Halleluhwah and Aumgn were too long. The album kind of lost appeal. Started as a 4 and ended up a 3
Apart from maybe 2 tracks it is a no skip listen. Incredible record that is full of emotion, composed brilliantly musically and lyrically. You can understand why it is so highly rated
it is a classic. Full of amazing songs. Keeps you from the first song to the last. Starts and ends powerfully
Knowing Motorcrash and Birthday and other Sugarcubes hirs very well, I had never really listened to this album in full before. It was fantastic. Full of vibrant life and fresh and unique. Very very close to a 5
I get it. I understand why people like it. It is still rubbish though
JAMC play such a massive part in my music discovery. Psychocandy was a massive influence and in my top 10 important albums. This is equally as important. To me its a 5 star album just because of nostalgia. I played this non stop and i can still listen to it today and enjoy every single song
It has a splattering of good songs interspersed with pretty average songs. It is neither great nor terrible. I would listen to it again but never really seek the album out. Somewhere between a 3 and a 4 but not worthy of 4 stars
It is the Who. Kind of what you would expect from a traditional rock band. Of all the classic rock artists, the who are probably the most tolerable as they have some variation in their music. Not a 4 though
It was an interesting album. I know Avalon as a child of the 80s but have never really listened to 70s Roxy Music and found it interesting enough to want to explore the first 5 albums. Will definitely listen to more Roxy Music. Its an upper 3 so I will give it a 4
its good, upbeat and fun, but not something that I am really into. I would be dancing if this came on in the right environment, but I am not going to listen to it at home
The album is not anything I was expecting. Tainted Love, although the big hit, and a great hit, almost stands out as being completely different. The album is funky, sexy and full of energy, and then the whole album kind of shifts direction to that traditional 80s sounds. It is a real ride. The sound is fresh and unique. I was back and forth between a 3 and a 4, but by the end of the listen it was definitely a 4. Torch is my standout apart from tainted love
what can i Say. 3 of my favourite Leonard Cohen songs on one album. it was always going to be a 5. Starts of superbly, then builds up to an incredible 4 songs in a row from sisters of Mercy
I am sure we will get the first 2 albums on this list. This album is probably the weakest of the three. More commercial maybe. It mostly held up by the super hit, Its Tricky, but on the whole, not a terrible listen. Somewhere between a 3 and 4
Message in a bottle still bangs after all these years. What a way to start an album! the 2 big hits stand this album up on their own. the Jamaican influence is evident. Probably a 3.5, but I have given it a 4 because of the 2 standout tracks
An incredibly emotional album, made more so by her recent passing. misunderstood and ahead of the time with her views and politics. A beautifully well structured album with 3 standout tracks in Feel so different, Three babies and Emperors New Clothes. Very very close to a perfect 5. I still want to own this album
not unbearable, but nothing remotely interesting or appealing. Just not my music at all
Beautiful album. I loved the little snippers of songs, especially the preacher theme clips. Can I sleep in your arms was just sensational. Definitely would own this album if I had the opportunity. Reading up about the album and the theme of the preacher who killed his wife and her lover and then went on the run makes it even more interesting
Really enjoyed the album. I obviously knew the 2 big hits but had never fully listened to the entire album before. There was a nice mix of punk and glam and a few songs really stood out. Great listen. would definitely listen again
it was nice background music, but not something I am going to remember or want to listen to again
I have owned this album digitally since it came out, but have not listened to it in years. It is a good album with a splattering of really good songs, but I feel like it fades after Hollywood kids. Its not an album I really want to own, but one I will gladly listen to again and again
It is a recognised album for a reason. A timeless contribution to music by an incredible artist. The album never falters and keeps you entertained throughout the listen
Incredible. Aretha Franklin really is the ultimate diva. This album is jam packed with sensational vocals. I can only imagine what it must have been like to witness her live. Jam packed with hits and soul and music that gets your foot tapping and keeps it like that for the entire album. I need to own this album
i LOVE Cecilla Ann. One of the best opening tracks to an album I know. I have all the pixies albums digitally, but do not own any physically. I need to change this. This album is, and always has been fantastic, and it is not even their best album, but it is just one standout track after another. 4.5 stars rounded up
This album just keeps producing hit after hit. Jam packed soulful pop album that would be welcome in any persons record collection. An album I certainly would not mind owning. Very close to 5 stars
not even remotely my cup of tea
from the onset. NOT what i was expecting at all. rock/blues with some beautiful blues guitar riffs and with african influence beats...but... Started off brilliantly and then kind of withered and got a bit monotonous
I Respect the importance of this album, but I could just not get behind it. I know a lot of the songs because i have heard them multiple times over the years, but I just dont like grunge. It is not a record I would have in my collection
I would say the album is "average" for a radiohead album. I am not a big fan of whiney thom Yorke. There are elements of the album that are good, but on the whole it does not grab me and make me go wow. Would I listen to it again? No. 3.5 stars which i upgraded to 4 because it was still pleasant to listen to
This album definitely has some influence from Sgt peppers and the rise of Psychedelic rock. The album starts off slowly and then erupts into life with Pleasant Street. The album rises and fall with songs ranging from serene to loud and full of life, and keeps you captivated throughout. I would listen to it again
another Sgt Peppers influenced album, with still a more traditional pop element to it. A collection of great pop songs in an album that was really pleasant to listen to with a few notable songs. Would listen again and might like to own it
How I got through life without listening to Jani Joplin I have no idea, but both albums are sensational and littered with incredible music and vocals and lyrics. The cover of Summertime is sensational
its is bearable to listen to. There is nothing that remotely stands out and I am not really partial to this riff rock, but it is not terrible wither. Would absolutely never listen to it again though
never got in Gorrilaz really. It is not an album i can listen to an enjoy. I have tried to get into them multiple times and I cant really get into any song to a point that i go wow, this is fantastic. I can listen to it in the background, but i am not going to be putting this album on specifically to listen to. it is meh. 3.5 stars
I honestly have no idea why this album is on here. Except for the single hit, the rest is boring and montonous
There is a lot of Rap on this list. I dont mind it, but it is not something that i would seek out for listening enjoyment. If i was going to listen to rap it would public Enemy or Run DMC. Gangsta rap is not my cup of tea. Nothing stands out for me on this album, but it was also ok. the album ends well.
Its Ella so the singing is always going to be top notch. It was pleasant to listen to but nothing wowed me. I would listen to it again but not really seek it out
I don't know why, By PE hit me in a certain way. Maybe it is because i listened to them a fair bit back in the 90s, but I enjoy their music a lot more than other rap artists from the same era. I would always listen to this album
one of those bands I know very well but never properly got into despite trying to multiple times. The bends is standout their best album in my opinion. Mostly because it edges closer to the type of indie rock i prefer than say, Ok Computer. This album has a plethora of great songs. I own it digitally, but really should own it physically
The album was ok. Nothing really stood out, but it was pleasant enough to listen to. Do I want to delver into his back catalogue? no. Will I listen to this again? probably not, but It was fine to listen to 3 stars
It is a Good album with Notable good song. I am not a massive beatles fan, so It is not an album i would seek out, but I would possibly buy it if i came across it. It gets 5 stars because of its importance and the number of notable songs on it
Never been a fan of the doors. I find their sound a bit monotonous, especially the long drawn out organ solos. I marked the End as a notable track because the beginning is good, but it just drags on and on and on. I never have and never will really seek the bands out to listen to, but it is ok
it was not bad, but nothing stood out, something i would probably listen to again in the background. but mot to sit down and listen to
it was not terrible. it was not great. Not going to listen to it again
Short catchy pop songs with one of the greatest pop songs ever written. All that aside, it is all a bit samey and about 10 songs too long, but i still really enjoyed the songs. I would listen to this again and I feel like a want to get more familiar with some of the songs. Its probably a 3.5 but i will up it to a 4
I enjoyed this. Have never heard of him before. its got a bit of everything . electronic is not a massive favorite of mine, but i would listen to this again. There were some really good tracks
This really is a phenomenal culturally important album. I am embarrassed that i have never owned a copy in any format yet I know it so well. It is full of elements of jazz, hip hop, electronic and straightforward indie. Some incredible standout tracks. I do need to own a copy of this album. It received 5 stars just by looking at the tracklisting. Big Time Sensuality is such an amazing song
I really enjoyed this. A good mix of rock, african beat and some soul. would definitely try and remember the band and pick up an album if i came across it
It started off okay with the a good selection of bluesy rock and then the album descended into something like a cross between an elton john and an Cliff Richard album. It got a bit boring. 3.5 stars
I found this pretty average and kind of generic. Nothing really stood out for me. I cannot see myself listening to this again. it was ok. 2 of the last 3 songs were good
I came across Fred Neil because of a cover of Dolphins by Billy bragg and never looked back. This album is just pure beauty. His voice is incredible accompanied by a beautiful array of instruments. I do not own a physical copy of this, but this has reminded me that i need to
