Love that Nirvana got to make the album they wanted, not the album the studio wanted, and shoutout the band for having the balls to land that ship. Not all noise needs a purpose.

Isaac Hayes second solo album! No longer in the shadow of Otis Redding and other Stax hitmakers! So much in this album is so fundamental to the music that was to come!

So, Springsteen first wrote Born in the USA for his Nebraska album, and when he played it for the E Street Band the keyboard player Roy Bittan immediately caught a new riff and changed that song forever. Check out the demo ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Gh1wQEe1I ), it's worlds different, sent chills down my spine the first time I heard it.

This album is such a vibe. Who cares if you don't understand the words, the vocals are an *instrument*, man. It soars, it dips, it glides across foreign countrysides. There's a freaking starchild on the cover.

I agree with everyone else asking why is this album part of the collection? Were they friends with the author of the book? Am I an eagle? If I were, would I fly and poop on this band's house? Do they even have a house? What does their label think about them, like, honestly? Does their label wish they could be eagles too?

Hell yes, everything about this album. Hell yes all the hits, hell yes the rest of it, hell yes the guitars, hell yes.

This sounds like what you'd expect the first Dire Straits album to sound like bob, sure does bill, glad we had this conversation bob, me too bill.

I like this band, they're fine, this album, it's okay.

Once again, not sure why this album was included.

I've never been a Costello fan. Listening to this album... nope. nope. nope. nopety nope nope nope, sorry Elvis but John Darnielle is the only overly verbose white dude singer for me.
