I love this kind of themed album, and it was full of excellent songs as well! I remember hearing this album for the first time when I was probably 13 or 14 and was amazed and in awe of the whole concept. Loved David Bowie ever since
I know this album is a big deal but it just seems disjointed on first listen. Going to have to try it a few more times and try and figure out what Bowie was thinking
Didn't realize there were so many hits on this album. Liked it more than I expected
Fantastic album. Highlights are of course Bridge, Cecilia, and the Boxer
I enjoyed listening but not sure when I would listen again. I have no link to this music, beside of course Frank's great Christmas tunes
I have loved this album since the day I bought it in the mid-80s. Talking Heads were a fantastic band, but the early albums are so much more raw sounding even though they kind of sound over produced in the studio. I will listen to this album more over time I am sure. And Psycho Killer is one of the great songs of all time
Never heard this album before. I liked it! Sounds like an early version of what I hear these days on alt nation. I would listen again.
I was a little disappointed in this album. I really like Roxy Music, but this early album did not have that feel of the latter albums.
I have never heard of this band, but i liked the album. Seems to be my style of music
Kinda psychedelic which I did not expect from the Kinks
Good White Stripes album. Is really diverse and fun to listen to. Uses many different sound styles and as usual they are very experimental with the sound
Why didn't I know about these guys. They are great
I didn't understand anything here. The music was nice but it was sung in a foreign language so no clue what she was singing about
Didn't like it as much as I hoped. Kind of all over the place
Fantastic. I remember hearing this when I was young and the guitar and beat just keeps it being awesome
Heard these guys were we great but this live album is a bit of a mess
Not a fan sadly. I know even back in the day I didn't like it either
One of my very favorite albums of all time. First Clash album was so fresh and raw
Quiet album. I was really surprised by this
Not a big fan of this kind of acid jazz music.
I had never heard Bjork until now vut of course heard the name lots in the past.
I really like the music, kind of all over the place isn't it. The lyrics are very hard to listen to, I think English is difficult for her.
I would listen again
What a fantastic album. I can't believe all the influence CCR had when they were only around for 3 or 4 years.
Great album with that distinctive style of psychedelic furs.
I love listening to Muddy Waters, only heard 1 album before. Music is very tight compared to the huge music of today and has a great beat and his awesome vocal style. I read that this concert almost didn't happen because of riots the day before at this blues festival, only thing that saved it was filming the day for a documentary on American culture
Been caught stealing is one of my favorite 80s songs but the rest of the album doesn't seem great to me
I didn't really care about this album as it started but Nina Simone has a really great control of her voice and makes every song something you have to stop and listen too. I ended up really liking it and glad I had this opportunity to find a new (to me) great singer and music
Really great album. Nice clean sound, good interaction with the crowd, lots of good music
Not for me. Just noisy.
In case anyone can not find it on Spotify, go to YouTube, the whole album is on there
Love this live album. One of the great guitar live shows of the 70s before everything got a bit too heavy. Loved hair bands in the 80s but even then I still loved this album
I had only heard waterfalls before bit this album has lots more. It just kind of flows well through the whole thing. I definitely liked it a lot more than I expected
Album is ok. Kinda whiny but I guess that's the style. I would listen again on a rainy Sunday
I had never heard of Blue Cheer. Awesome rough sound.
Great album. The one that got me loving U2 early on before fame caught them. Lots of different styles on here
Super good. Kind of reminds me of that psychedelic type of sound of the late 60s. But the way the kinks would do it instead
Loved this album. What a cool band
Pretty good album but there are better ones by Kate Bush i think
Very cool. I love this and it becomes on of my first 4* albums
Long double album but fantastic
Album is just OK. I liked the early stuff by U2 and also Achtung Baby, but the other stuff just seems kind of boring
Didn't like it much. Just Jesus built my hotrod
Just ok. Hallelujah us amazing though
Such a great album. Whole thing is pretty awesome
One of my favorite albums. Used to play on repeat for me at one time.
This was my favorite REM album and since that time I have gone back and listened sooo many times over the years. Definitely one of my top 5 albums of all time
Not my style, but WOW she has an amazing voice 😍
I am partial to Born to Run, but this is probably his second best album. It seems to me that these early albums of Springsteens with the E Street band are so much better than the big stadium anthems he wrote later
Not for me. I have heard about this album forever and finally heard it for the first time. Even as a fellow Canadian I just don't get the hype
This is terrible. Why was it even recorded much less on this list?
I really liked this album. Usually new albums to me can only get 3 stars but this is a solid 4 stars from me
I really liked the music. Didn't really like his voice. But will definitely listen again to this album
Hey this is a great album
I always loved this album. It was my favorite progressive rock album that I first heard around 1981cor so.
2nd favorite Pink Floyd album after Dark Side
This album was a centerpiece of Friday nights when a few of us would hang in a buddies basement drinking beer back on the 80s. Super great uplifting album with a couple moody tracks built in.
What a strange album. Nice to listen to while working on the computer I guess
I liked it, but it all kind of sounded the same time me. Kind of depressing, which is fine as well. I kind of feel sorry for their sadness
Great album. First time listen, will listen again
I loved this album. I had heard of them at the time they were around and wouldn't have liked them then but this was super great to hear now, well now that I am an adult and not some irritating, waiting for the hair metal to come teenager
Wow, this whole album is great!
When i was younger I thought Leonard Cohen was great. I must have been pretty pretentious because he really isn't.
Good album. Not as good as the first couple though
Fantastic album. I think my favorite of his
Not as good as I remember it when it came out. Full of hits, but the same sound everywhere. I have listed to mostly older ZZ Top when I listen to an album of theirs and those where great. I think this album was a push to get super popular by the label or something because the sound definitely changed
Great Blondie album. Would definitely listen to it again
Pretty awesome and it feels like a snapshot in time
This album is fast, fuzzy and really cool
Like sugar. It tastes really good but not really food.
I really enjoyed this album as it is all catchy but it is not really memorable.
Will definitely Iisten to this again, many times I am sure
First best album i heard growing up
Super good Billy Joel album
Just dont like the hip hop/rap much. Probably good but not that I can tell
Liked it. So much dark music and this was nice and light amd popy
Some of this prog music from the 70s is a little over my head
I really like fragile better but still this album is really good to listen to as music, not as good at being background music
Great album back in the day and still great. Just like other reviewers have said Bono is very irritating as a person ut the music is great
I seem to like Jazz music but know nothing about it. My rating may not be fair
I had never heard of this. Why? What are fantastic album
Long but great album. Pastime Paradise was the first time I heard it not knowing that Gangstas Paradise was basically a cover. Best song was Sir Duke
I really hate Rage Against the Machine when I hear their stuff on Alt Nation on SiriusXM. Don't get me wrong, i love a lot of heavy stuff and it really bugged me thinking i am too old a guy to like something like this.
But after finally listening to this album I think I get it, and I am able to appreciate the hard shredding style, the lyrics are really relevant, not just then but today as well. Hearing really closely I think is important when listening to super heavy music, otherwise it will just seem like sonic assault
I loved this album. I had only heard Aqualung and Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull, but there is so much more to this band
Really messy, don't like this at all
Not a bunch of hits but still a great album by Neil Young
Long. I know she has a nice voice and that the music is magical, but I just couldn't get into it
I wish I could find more just instrumental stuff like this. Really good, I hear there next album was even better
I liked it a lot more than I expected. Almost passed on it, but once you get into that screaming guitar it really golds you
Fantastic album. One of my all time favorites
Fantastic album. I have of course heard a few songs, but listening g from start to end is awesome
Not very good at all. Sorry Lana, you are cute but a terrible singer
Really generic sounding. Maybe a bad day for me? I see all these glowing reviews but just dont hear it in the album
Pretty good. I will look at their other albums
Pretty ok. They have a couple albums i like a lot better
Awesome album by Neil Young
Totally gave me those Grateful Dead vibes. I had no idea that Allman Brothers were a jam band like this
I loved the sitar and bongo. Felt like a real hippie album
I have listed to this album so many times since it came out that it feels like part of the soundtrack throughout my life. Great great album
I always expect this to be a great idea but for some reason the symphony does not do anything for Metallica and neither the other way around
I love Bruce Springsteen but this album just does not sound very good to me
This is a great album. Emmylou Harris has never been a name that I knew but the country folk music here is really great
This was great. No doubt about it
Just like another dowop kinda band at the time
One of my favorite albums ever. I love the way a few of the second side songs just merge together. Also this really sounds like it is the end of the band, lyrically as well as the fireworks of the songs, kind of celebrating what had been
Two hits. Pretty long. It was ok
Great memories from the 80s when this came out
Not as good as every picture tells a story but still a fantastic album
Funkadelic were an awesome band. This is my second album on the list by them and I hope there is a third
Not inspired by this at all
I don't really like Julian Cope. I get it I think but the music feels dated. Just not for me I guess
These early albums by Yes are my favorites for sure
Really liked this band. No idea how I had never heard them before
Really liked this album. Seems like i have had a string of 2 and 3 stars lately and it was refreshing to get something that really resonated with me
How os this supposed to be dance music without a little speed to it? Really not worthy of this list
I am not a very patriotic Canadian, I find Joni Mitchell boring
I was really young when I heard this album for the first time and I loved it then. Love it even more now
I liked it. Long but good
Never heard of Elliott Smith, I guess i was not listening to radio at the time? Didn't care much on the first listen but let it repeat and felt the groove of it the second time. Really liked it
Lots of short songs with a lot of energy. Going to have to dig into this "band"
Still not really getting why Radiohead is considered the best ever by so many people. Still, I really like the album ok. Will have to dig into more reviews to see what I am missing
This Soul music is really great. I will definitly be diving into this album and more of this genre in the future
This album just was not very interesting to me, makes me wonder why I am listening to all of these albums.
Sure we get to hear the best music ever and discover what is really good that we have never heard before, but then you get something like this, nothing wrong with it but Rufus just does not seem like he has created one of the great albums it is just another record that if I head a song on the radio I would switch stations immediately.
To me 1 star is offensive, 2 stars is boring, and 3 stars is an album I would be willing to listen to again. This is just a 2 star and again felt like it was stealing my time that could be better spent listening to something that was actually good
I know everyone likes Amy's black album but this one hits harder for me. Sure 50s-60s standards are great but the Jazz singing here is so good that I couldn't help but be focused on it and nothing else. What an amazing troubled soul she was
