Good album. I liked his voice and the stories but as I wouldn’t listen to it again it has to be a 2 from me.

This is a very nostalgic album for me so I found it hard to listen to independently of my childhood memories of hearing my dad play prog rock. And why even try? I love the madness of prog rock, the musical themes and crazy long instrumentals. This is a pretty solid Yes album. Starship Trooper was a standout song to me.

This is definitely a fun album. I started out really enjoying this but it got a bit weary as time went on. 'Jump, Jive' is a classic and I could really picture having a lot of fun dancing around. I recognise a lot of these songs but I’m not sure how many were originals or covers.

Listened in the day and thought it was a fairly average album. Hard rock not so much my thing. Listened in the evening after red wine and did lots of air guitar to Free Bird and it lifted the whole album for me. Poison whiskey also a stand out song. Everything else was a bit meh.

He has a really lovely voice and I think the songs sound (to my untrained ear) proper good musically speaking. I like the catchy poppy tunes although I didn’t looove them. Sledgehammer is very fun. I think ‘don’t give up’ has been ruined for me by being used in charity adverts.

I liked this. Improved by headphones. Enjoyed the grungy heavy songs. Also liked factory and Mary Jane? Probably wouldn’t listen again. The theme of this group for me is that I like songs that are the famous hits. Is that because they are better or I’m just a basic bitch?

First five minutes at five star. The rest is too random for me. I didn’t hate the industrial clunking but the voice was freaky.

I listened to this album on the way to a women’s circle for a full moon ceremony and if those are not the perfect conditions to enjoy Kate Bush then I’m not sure what are. I love her voice but this album just didn’t do it for me. There was also some cringe eighties stuff going on.

Snore. I thought this would be a good album. The intro is great but I found it dreary. Her voice was good. He was dull.

I like Radiohead. I didn’t think this was their best album. I generally liked the songs but nothing stood out.

I’d never heard of gene Clark but I really liked this. Probably because I really like Neil Young. Silver Raven and no other were standout to me.

I really like the who but judging this as an album it wasn’t for me. Wayyy too long. Tim said it’s a ‘rock opera’ which I Fournier a bit cringe. I wonder if other ‘musicals’ make the list

I love Steely Dan. We had one tape in the car with Steely Dan (and Deacon Blue) and it’s cemented in my brain. Really love these songs and this album had some absolute hits. I think there are better SD albums but this really is a fun one. I was surprised that this was 72. Sounds later to me.

If you’d asked me ‘what style of music Beck is’ I’d have probably have said Indie. So I was quite surprised to listen to this album. Is it erm rap? I’m not quite sure what it is. I sort of appreciate that it’s quite different and complex. But still it wasn’t for me on the first listen. On the second listen I started to like it more from ‘the new pollution’. There are some definite classics. I started to think he sounded like the bloke from Fontaines DC (though obviously the other way round). And that made me like it a bit more. But yeah probably wouldn’t listen again.

After starting to think Kate Bush was the only woman in music I so so wanted to like this album. The sound of their voices is undeniably beautiful but this type of music just aint for me. I think part of this is that I realise (after reading other reviews) I just don't listen to lyrics at all. So this type of storytelling is really lost on me. However Spotify did guide me to Linda Ronstadt’s other work and that was really great.

One of the reasons for joining this club was to stop me only listening to Fleetwood Mac so it was always going to be five stars from me. I’ve tried really hard to listen with fresh ears and I’m struck by just how incredible they are as musicians. The percussion blends beautifully and there is often a lot technically going on. I do think it should start on the Chain. I’m not a huge fan of ‘don’t stop’ and I cannot get on board with calling your lover ‘daddy’. Gold dust woman and you make lovin are excellent songs.

I was expecting to like this more but it really wasn’t for me. I liked some of the songs in a sort of ‘easy listening’ kind of way. My body had a physical response to ‘chug all night’ which was just bad. I think having just listened to fleetwood, the harmonies in these songs sounded cheesy rather than beautiful/heart wrenching. Black magic woman bumped it to a three.

Ohhh not another man from the seventies. Thankfully this was slightly different to the sounds we have had before. I was pleasantly surprised by the opening track and I liked Duncan. I was only familiar with ‘me and Julio’. Quite a jolly album, makes me regret giving Eagles 3. Not something I’d listen to again but perhaps the occasional song.

I like Elvis Costello and I like his voice and style but it turns out not enough for a whole album. For me it didn’t flow that well. Alison and Watching the Detectives (the hits) stood out.

This was a welcomed relief. I very much liked stomping round the park to this. Perhaps I wouldn’t have voted it so favourably if I hadn’t spent so long in a seventies male desert. This felt like a good antidote. I think they probably highlight what will be a theme of this club ‘genius! Misogynist’

Be careful what you wish for. Am I glad I listened - yes. Am I glad that I listened to the whole first side, decided to give up and then got told that it was just the second side I needed to listen to - no. I so so want. I definitely preferred the second side (the actual album) But yeah I do not have the ear for telling the songs apart so it all sounded samey to me.

I love Nick Cave and his voice. I really enjoyed the album and the gruesome content. Stagger Lee is a standout for me and really great duets.

Always and forever five stars

I’ve never consciously listened to a Radiohead album (before this group). This really is quite a great album. I liked it a lot.

It was either a four or a two. This didn’t feel like a middle of the road album. I liked a lot of the songs way more than I thought I would. But ultimately now I have feelings about albums I just felt it was wayyy too long.

I was surprised to find I didn’t enjoy this. It made me cringe.

I liked it. I’d listen to more. Maybe a bit long.

Perfection. I’ve listened to this album a lot over the weekend. At first I thought it was all about the vocals but the instruments - especially piano- are amazing too. The lyrics are incredible too

What a way to start Monday! I loved this album.

Top marks for any album with a song about Jenny… however… I liked the album and it was fun but I felt like each song was basically exactly the same with different lyrics. Some great well known tracks and definitely fun but not a top scorer.

This album is all about the drums, bass and nostalgia and I was here for it.

I found this album a bit of a mish mash. Superstition is an amazing tune but I found many of the songs a bit slow and cheesy.

I didn't love every song but those that I did were incredible!

'Love shack' is a staple of my karaoke repertoire but I was a little nervous to listen to this album (and it doesn't even include LS). I liked it. I didn't love it, probably wouldn't revisit.

I had high hopes for this but I found it too long with too many filler songs. I absolutely love 'Benny and the Jets' but even that couldn't save this album for me.

I had to interrupt my classic FM Christmas listening for this but I was not disappointed. Nice sounds, lovely jazzy feel.

I'd never heard of them before but I loved it.
