A timeless classic.

One of the best singer-songwriters ever. Several of the songs presented here are so amazing that they have been covered by some of the biggest names in music

This is almost a defining album of the era, and while it is not necessary to my taste, I do recognize the cultural significance. It is definitely a must hear, even if it won't be added to my regular rotation.

While this album has some songs that are absolute bangers, there are several songs that are middle of the road at best. The songs that bring attention to social issues I do like, but some of the others are meh.

This is the first album on the list that I absolutely do not understand why it is here. There is little original about the music itself, they either sound like someone just got a drum machine and hit the pre-recorded beats or they are samples. Have sings with almost no inflection of emotion, which make the songs sound meaningless, even when some of the lyrics are poignan.

If you do not know what soul is, this is definitely a defining album. Every song sang not only beautifully but with emotion. You don't just hear this album, you FEEL it.

While I am not a fan of the screaming vocal style of the album, I absolutely respect the quality of the actual music. The driving drumming and exciting guitars make this an album worth listening to, I truly wish there was more of the singers actual voice.

This is the 2nd album this week that I am questioning why it is on the list. It isn't innovative, it isn't poignant and quite frankly it isn't good. The songs are mostly nonsensical, and goofy. I think there are much better artist to represent the genre in this time frame. Is the album fun yes, is it a MUST LISTEN? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Whimsical and fun these popular songs using a Hammond Organ instead of vocals emphasize the musical talents of the band.

This album is the definition of soul, while laying the bricks in the foundation of Funk.

I came here to find new music and rediscover old favorites. While it has been a mixed bag, this is the first album I couldn't sit and listen to, it sounds like you are stuck in someone's fever dream or the racing mind of Jessie Pinkman on ice. Definitely not a must hear album. I came back to it multiple times but I couldn't take the assault on my ears.

As I was listening to this album my partner walks in and asks "Are you on hold? " While Girl From Ipanema is a classic, much of the album does feel like it should be interrupted by a digital voice telling me that my call is important and to please stay on the line. After the anxiety inducing album from yesterday (New Forms) this was actually very welcoming.

For me this campy, gitchy version of the Beatles is middle of the road when listening with a totally sober mindset and ear. It does get better when properly medicated (THC). I definitely understand why many believe (true or not) that there was innuendo of drugs throughout the album.

Odd this is the suggestion I get on the first day after Ozzy announces a Black Sabbath reunion/farewell tour. I grew up with access to all the music, I got my first record player when I was 5, Black Sabbath was a band I never gave a chance because of the name. In my mind they would be something else. I realized later that I had heard many Balck Sabbath songs throughout my life growing up, but didn't realize the artist did those songs I heard on the radio and in movies. Paranoid is an absolutely FANTASTIC album (and is one I had access to when I was younger, that I regret not listening to throughout the years.

If you have to listen to U2 this is the album. The first half of the album makes me forget ai don't really like U2 the second half reminds me. I do appreciate the actual music the Edge is an innovative guitarist. I am personally not a huge fan of Bono's voice.

If you have synesthesia that causes you to feel sound AVOID THIS ALBUM. The purposful feedback screeching, the having every song recorded to sound like your speakers were damaged by dry rot and the parts that sound like someone is using a car horn as an instrument, make this album painful to listen to. Their reputation far exceeds their talent!

This is an band I had judged for decades by its album covers, and their name. King Crimson sounds like a band that should be playing N'Orlean's style jazz, not a 6 man Prog Rock band from Europe, but here we are. While the the album definitely jazz inspired the first song 21st Century Schizoid Man sounds like a rock band was playing at Mardi Gras. And I was pleasantly surprised at how well these genre can meld
