At the first sound of the "singing" - Nope

Maybe its just not for me, it all just feels one note and tired. I got excited when one track started with a Curtis Mayfield riff and then I ended up just wishing I was listening to that album instead.

Oof, cover versions of songs I don't particularly like. Competent but not my thing

A forest is of course the most recognisable track, but a good moody second album. Love the story that The Final Sound is so short because the tape ran out.

Good, but nothing stand out to me. No track rattles around my head afterwards

Tedious Pap

A weaker outing from The Specials. Not bad, just weaker.

Nothing will get me listening to this facist, anti-Semite

Feels very "samey" outside the obvious hits. I've been told their later output was better.

It could be I only heard Suede after Bernard Butler left and maybe I just like them without his influence. This left me a little cold

Not a bad album but like so many suggestions on this list a keep wondering why this was the suggestion instead of Urban Hymns

The score is not for the quality of music or the talent of Willie, its just that an album of cover versions doesn't do it for me. No matter how good they are.

Not the best Johnny Cash album, made worse by Spotify's censorship. Why they bleep "Son of a Bitch" I've no idea

More Trash Metal, not my thing I suppose

It's fine, and because it's Bruce you want to vote it up, but for me, its just fine.

Sorry Stevie but outside the 2 absolute banger tracks (Sir Duke & I Wish) this did nothing for me. I recognise the talent, but ... I don't know, maybe just not my thing

To hear Stanley Unwin narrating the fairy tale of Happiness Stan made this worthy of the score

Not my thing

There are few country songs I can listen to, and this didn't have any of them.

Dull

I'm thinking my best bet for this band is to buy a Best Of album, there is rarely more than one song on any of their albums that I like

Competent, but not for me.

Overall great, but Shatner & Joe Jackson's Common People may be the best version of the song.

The definitive 70's hard rock live album. I played this too death in my teens

At the first sound of the "singing" - Nope

Country music starts of with a disadvantage when I listen to it, it has to be really special to break through my dislike. This didn't do it

I'd rather be hit than listen to this

Middle of the road American Rock Bullshit

Not going out of my way to track this down

I'm not getting the Tim Buckley love, something isn't hitting for me. So a 3, which is what I give when I can recognise the quality if not appreciate the music

At least it wasn't Bryan Adams

One of the albums that make me wonder about the criteria for appearing on this list

An album of songs, many of which I'd be happy to listen to if they turned up in a playlist, but its tough when they are altogether in one sitting

Feels like you needed to have Duran Duran on the list and this was the only album to pick. Competent but outside the hits meh
