Just no

No

Not my thing

Self-indulgent, but at the time, they had a point.

Music - yes Lyrics - 😑

Didn’t listen

Very eighties vibe -yes!

Mixed bag. Probably would’ve enjoyed it when young.

May be the fatger of punk but the kids are better looking.

More innovative than their early pop stuff but still not a great fan.

Why not?

I knew by the cover I’d hate it. Listened to three tracks for 2 seconds each which confirmed my hate. 👎

Oh come on, he’s not that good. Where’s the evolution, man?

2 for being 80s but generic forgettable 80s.

Sounds like cheap Sex Pistols. Just another imitator.

Amazing, unique voice! Some of the songs would be quite ordinary without her vocal talent. A very influential singer, controversial for all the right reasons.

Ravi Shankar was obviously influential on western pop music but i just can’t bear the sound!

Sounds very Van before the booze gt his voice. Quite nice.

Heard of them but never actually heard them til now. Very 60s. I like it.

Yet another Cure soundalike. Great name but couldn't be bothered to listen to more than 10seconds of each track.

Not my kind of music, just couldn't listen to it. Nothing against the artist eho was probably good at her job.

I didn’t know Bush’s music beyond her Wuthering Heights hit til i listened to bit of this album. It doesn’t mean much, her songs, just cute pop music. Meh.

I don't understand what’s definitive of the music. Soft pop, nothing memorable.

More mediocrity. Is this the theme song of people had nothing to offer but very do angry about having nothing yo offer that they decided to punish everyone else?

I keep failing to see whats influential about music that sounds so obviously derivative. Maybe i am just too old for this.

I have to agree with one reviewer who said there is just too much ego in this album. Mixed bag: definitive overall sounds but discordance over-used and yes, lead is bit whiny.

I wasn’t a fan if Cash when he was young, nir of country music but I’d give this album a 6 if I could, compared to most of the garbage on this list. Cash has a quality in his voice at this age that young ones just can’t produce: suffered experience. All the shouting and wailing just can’t match what Cash brings to other people’s songs that transcends the original artist. I’d give it 5 for Hurt alone but Bridge Over Troubled Waters outdoes S&G and that’s saying something. Even Danny Boy sounds okay.

Another one of these influential must-hear bands you’ve never heard of and which sound like a compilation of sux other bands. It was listenable but a bit tedious after a while.

Costello’s voice and style are distinctive, more so than a lot of albums I’ve reviewed on this list. I wouldn't listen again though.

I appreciate the greatness if these three women but I just can’t bear the sound of their voices together.

No, just no. I can’t say more. Other reviewers have summed up the complete waste of talent on this endless noise.

New to me. Must’ve bypassed Australia. Quite like the sound.

I saw one reviewer divided the world into those who love ABBA and those who pretend not to love them. Well, I don't fit into either category. Yes, they've released some all time pop favourites and yes, they're iconic but that doesn't mean I want to listen to them. I took in a few soundbites of three songs and they all sounded like any other ABbA song. Pass.

There a sameness through the the tracks that tells me, yes, its that Coldplay sound, their definitive sound. Is this album influential ? Is Coldplay influential? Not a fan do hard to say.

Another I've never heard of. One listen doesn't justify me to decide whether an album was influential or not if I’ve never heard of them. Who did he influence? Who did he make an impact on? Some niche group? Music critics? I don't mind the voice but again, is his music more different to his contemporaries? Pass

Must be my age but I liked the album, even though I was only a kid when it came out. Easy listening.

Descendants of vikings, these people be. Not quite my thing but certainly different.

Ok but that’s all
