The music is so self-assured that sometimes it's hard to believe this is their debut album. A classic and with good reason. Favorites: Runnin' with the Devil, Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, I'm the One (for the scatting), Ice Cream Man Would I listen to it again: Yes

Hip Hop is not a genre I listen to regularly but since I'm trying to expand my musical horizons, this is a good first album as I start this musical journey. Overall impression: Tried to listen with an open mind and liked it more than I thought I would. Loved Songs: All of the Lights, Lost in the World Liked Songs: Dark Fantasy, Gorgeous, Hell of a Life Indifferent Songs: Power, Devil in a New Dress, Runaway, Blame Game Disliked Songs: Monster, So Appalled Would I listen to it again? Probably not the whole album but there are a couple of songs that I will add to my playlist.

This is more my speed and the type of music I usually seek out. I'm familiar with a few songs* from MGMT but have never listened to this full album. Overall impression: I really liked it. A lot of the songs start slow but really grow on you. Nothing I outright disliked. Can definitely hear a Bowie influence. Loved Songs: Electric Feel*, Kids*, Pieces of What, Of Moons Birds & Monsters Liked Songs: Time to Pretend*, The Youth (this one is a grower), 4th Dimensional Transition (another that gets better as it goes on), The Handshake, Future Reflections Indifferent Songs: Weekend Wars Disliked Songs: None Would I listen to it again? Yes

The only Wilco I've listened to before this are the two Mermaid Avenue records with Billy Bragg. Overall impression: You know those bands that you think you should love but just don't. I think Wilco is one of those bands for me. There were a few songs that were nice to listen to but as a whole, it didn't grab me. Loved Songs: Pot Kettle Black (I think because the beginning sounds like In Between Days, my favorite Cure song) Liked Songs: Kamera, War on War, Heavy Metal Drummer, I'm the Man Who Loves You Indifferent Songs: I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Jesus Etc., Poor Places Disliked Songs: Radio Cure, Ashes of American Flags, Reservations Would I listen to it again? No

Classic.

My first taste of Kraftwerk. You can see how much they influenced the synthpop artists that followed them and since I love those artists, not too surprising that I love this. Even with several 6+ minute songs, I was never bored. Favorites: Metropolis, The Model, Neon Lights, The Man Machine Would I listen to it again?: Yes

I'm more familiar with Common the actor than Common the rapper but consider me pleasantly surprised. Appreciate the soul/R&B-influenced backing tracks. Favorites: Be (Intro), Chi-City, The Food, They Say

I know who Traffic is but don't think I've ever really listened to them. It does tend to all blend together but love the organ. Favorites: Freedom Rider, Empty Pages

Not a Steely Dan fan. Never have been, never will be. However, I do like "Dirty Work".

Simply beautiful.

A classic.

I've never heard of Fred Neil but have heard a couple of his songs done by other people. This feels like a rainy day kind of album. Nice voice.

I consider myself a casual Who fan but gotta say, I loved this. They sound great and I liked hearing them in their prime since I never would have had the opportunity otherwise.

Love it.

Eh, kinda boring after awhile. I liked the opener, "Mysterons", but then it's just more of the same but not as appealing. Not for me.

What a lovely album! There's a reason these songs are considered standards and Willie does a great job interpreting them. Favorites: Stardust, Don't Get Around Much Anymore

A lot more misses than hits. Not for me.

I'll admit that I'm a big Elvis Costello fan so of course I love this. A really fantastic debut. "Welcome to the Working Week" might be the most perfect 90 seconds in rock.

I don't hate it but I don't particularly like it either.

My first Kinks album. It's a good one.

I have a friend whose favorite band is Iron Maiden. He would be so upset if I give this anything less than 5 stars. He should be prepared to be upset.

My second Kinks album. It's ok but I liked the concept album better.

Really enjoyed it. Great banter and great songs.

This is my 3rd Kinks album this week. I wasn't sure if I would like this album as that is a lot of Kinks at in a short period of time but this is my favorite by far. Loved it.

One of the reasons George is my favorite Beatle.

The 80s are probably my favorite decade of music so even though I've never heard The Blue Nile before, I loved this. Hit my sweet spot. Favorites: Tinsel Town in the Rain, Stay Would I listen to it again?: Yes

Never been a Pixies fan and this album didn't change my mind. One star for Kim Deal, who's cool. Everything else, eh. Would I listen to it again: No

My first Dylan album. His voice is definitely an acquired taste but didn't think it detracted from the songs, which are great. Liked it better than I thought I would. Favorites: Tangled Up in Blue, Buckets of Rain Would I listen to it again: Yes

Hey ho, let's go! Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Iconic for a reason. Favorites: Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat on the Brat, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, Let's Dance Would I listen to it again: Yes

I know Dire Straits' hits (including 'Sultan of Swings' from this album) but that's about it. A solid debut with some great guitar work. Favorites: Down to the Waterline, Sultans of Swing, Wild West End Would I listen to it again: Yes

I know a lot about Joni Mitchell but have never really listened to her. Probably not the best introduction as it's way too jazzy for me. Favorites: Shadows and Light Would I listen to it again: No

I can't be objective when it comes to Travis or this album. Been a fan of Travis since I first heard them and still love them. I loved this album when it came out and still love it. Their music just speaks to me. Favorites: Writing to Reach You, As You Are, Driftwood, Turn, Why Does It Always Rain on Me Would I listen to it again: Yes

I love Paul Weller. Love his voice, love his songwriting, love the Jam, love the Style Council, love this album. Love love love. Favorites: Sunflower, Wild Wood, All the Pictures on the Wall, Country, The Weaver, Hung Up Would I listen to it again: Yes

I've never listened to a full Sinatra album but have heard some of this. I think this album shows his voice off to great effect and also what a showcase for his song interpretation. And hats off to Nelson Riddle as the arrangements are wonderful. I really enjoyed this. Favorites: You Make Me Feel So Young, Too Marvelous for Words, I've Got You Under My Skin, I Thought About You Would I listen to it again: Yes

Dark and depressing.

I've heard of Grizzly Bear but have never listened to them. Not sure what I was expecting. Mostly inoffensive background music with some bursts of energy. Liked the vocals. Favorites: Two Weeks, Fine For Now Would I listen to it again: No

The music is so self-assured that sometimes it's hard to believe this is their debut album. A classic and with good reason. Favorites: Runnin' with the Devil, Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, I'm the One (for the scatting), Ice Cream Man Would I listen to it again: Yes

Practically perfect. Favorite: She Bangs the Drum Would I listen to it again: Yes

Proof that the Temptations are one of the greatest vocal groups of all time. Just wow.

I can appreciate the music but I hate the singing so much. Not for me.

This album is stacked. I could try to list favorites but it would just be pretty much the whole album.

Is it sacrilege to say I find this album a little boring? There are some definite classics ("God Only Knows" is a perfect song) but overall, I don't find it that interesting.

I was not familiar with this Stevie album but after listening to it, realized I had heard more songs than I thought (Boogie on Reggae Woman, You Haven't Done Nothin'). It's Stevie during his imperial period so of course it's fantastic. I loved it. Favorites: Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away, You Haven't Done Nothin', It Ain't No Use, They Won't Go When I Go (especially the piano intro), Please Don't Go Would I listen to it again: Yes

It's a good record and includes my favorite Beatles song but a few too many covers. Still a fun listen. Favorite: All My Loving Would I listen to it again: Yes

I was obsessed with this album in college and it hasn't lost any of its power. As close to perfect as you can get. Favorites: Plainsong, Pictures of You, Closedown, Lovesong, Lullaby, Fascination Street, Disintegration Would I listen to it again: Yes

I feel like I should like Pavement more than I actually do. This album has nothing I want to listen to again.

My first electronic record. Like the atmosphere of the first song but then it starts to get a little repetitive. Like: If I Had a Heart Would I listen to it again: No

Some stone cold classics, some snoozes but pretty good overall. Favorites: Maybe Baby, That'll Be the Day, I'm Looking For Someone to Love, Rock Me My Baby Would I listen to it again: Yes

How do you follow up an album like Rumors? This is a pretty good attempt. A little overlong but there are some gorgeous songs on this. Favorites: Over & Over, Think About Me, Sara, Sisters of the Moon, Angel Would I listen to it again: Yes

I was familiar with Alright but the rest is new to me. This is a pretty awesome album. Love the energy but it does drag a bit at the end. Favorites: I'd Like to Know, Alright, She's So Loose, Time Would I listen to it again: Yes

I've never heard of this. I kinda liked the first two songs but then it really becomes a drag.

Love, love, love, love, love. Favorites: Hello, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Cast No Shadow, Morning Glory Would I listen to it again: Yes

First listen to VU & Nico. The only song I was familiar with is "Femme Fatale" because of the REM cover. Think I prefer the Lou Reed-sung songs to Nico's.

A lot more organ than I was expecting. I like it. Favorites: Goodbye Toulouse, London Lady, Hanging Around, (Get A) Grip [on Yourself], Down in the Sewer Would I listen to it again: Yes

A couple of songs are familiar but a lot is new to me. I'm a big fan of 80s alternative/new wave/goth so love this. Favorites: Dominion, Lucretia My Reflection, This Corrosion, Flood II Would I listen to it again: Yes

Good solid 60s rock. Love the harmonies. Favorites: So You Want to Be a Rock'n'Roll Star, Have You Seen Her Face, Thoughts and Words, The Girl With No Name Would I listen to it again: Yes

These songs seem to go on forever. Not a good thing.

Probably my 3rd favorite U2 album. The Edge's guitar is amazing and the drums really drive the music. Love it. Favorites: Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day, Like a Song, Surrender Would I listen to it again: Yes

I can't imagine how incredible it must have been to be in the room when this was recorded. The band swings and Sam Cooke is the ultimate showman. Absolutely amazing! Favorites: Chain Gang, Cupid, Twistin' the Night Away, Bring It On Home to Me (seriously wow!) Would I listen to it again: Yes

Background music.

Stone cold classic. Not a bad song in the bunch. Favorite: Wish You Were Here Would I listen to it again: Yes
