Ocean Rain
Echo And The BunnymenMusically simple and uninteresting. Lyrically puerile. Just bored me.

I had no expectation of enjoying this album so much. The breadth of music genres coexisting throughout this work is brilliant and refreshing. What a treat!
She's a massive talent, incredible voice and vocal range and a great songwriter..The production is just a bit too slick for me. Not my cup of tea.
I don't know how or why I missed this one.
To my mind, this pales in comparison to The Dark Side of the Moon, but still a great album.

Well constructed. Great rock & roll.
I don't know how this album made it onto the list. His first album after getting out of the Army and all the magic is gone. His voice is still there, but the rawness and passion is gone.
Killer album! Every cut is a classic. So many rockers owe so much to this guy.
Powerful. Loved it.
I think this album defined their sound for the remainder of their career. My five favorite Rolling Stones albums all predated this one, but I still think Exile is genius and it deserves no less than five stars. I could listen to Sweet Black Angel all day long.
Soft pop. Lethargic, boring and uninspired.
What a brilliant and beautiful album! The rich and dense vocals, complex rhythms and overall musicality make this a joyful listening experience. OMG!
I loved this album when it came out. Still love Bohemian Rhapsody. Unfortunately, I no longer get much enjoyment from their music. Brian May is an amazing guitarist and Freddy Mercury was a brilliant singer.
Simple, persistent, heavy rhythms. Minimal harmonic progressions. Ethereal keyboard backgrounds. I assume this is what fans are drawn to. This is not a negative appraisal of the music. It's just not for me.
I guess this is the progenitor of all the great progressive groups that would appear in the next few years. Such talented and inventive musicians would add to the canon of King Crimson and continue to produce great music up to the present day.
I liked a few of the songs, but there were many that just sounded like first take demos. Minimalism has its place, but these tunes just bored me.
Uninteresting Uninspiring Unimaginative Simplistic Boring
I can see why these guys made such a big splash and became so influential. This is some powerful music with a whole lot to say.
I enjoyed this very much. Great songwriting. Interesting melodic lines, harmonies and syncopation. It just had a very unique feel. Love it!
Straight ahead rock. Did not do anything for me. I think it's simple and boring. Not for me.
Not much here for me. Different spin.
Great album. Too bad he threw it all away due to his drug habit. One of the most important things he did was discovering Emmylou Harris.
John Fogerty is very talented and the driving force behind Creedence. Too bad the boys couldn’t get along. He wrote some great songs, but I never felt compelled to buy any of their music. It was/is Ho hum to me.
Quite enjoyed this one.
very funny. Beautiful music.
All these years later and I still find them lacking. Can’t put my finger on it.
Good writing. Great energy. Interesting musically. I’m only 30+ years late in discovering her, but I’m happy I did.
Simple, straightforward, head banging punk. “Let’s Dance” is my favorite. Otherwise, ultimately bores me.
Elvis lost me when he joined the Army. The Colonel sabotaged his career, putting him some mostly awful movies and making other bad career choices for him. Elvis' voice is still powerful here, but the music and arrangements never let him cut loose like he was capable of. The Army robbed Elvis of his "kick ass."
