I can imagine people raving about this (especially harmonica lovers). Not really my thing, apart from some classics like Heart of Gold
Surprisingly rough music that goes outside the lines. Nice, but you have to be in the mood
Four very good numbers and a a very nice cover
Normally I wouldn't listen to it. For once it's actually quite nice
Sometimes stirring, often dreamy. A style all of its own. Definitely worth listening to again.
I always associate the Dead Kennedys with the alternative scene. This album confirms that. Full of energy and going wild. Best song on this album? Your emotions! Most hilarious song? Viva Las Vegas!
Nice to hear that old rocker Ian Dury again. Too bad "Hit me (with your rhythm stick)" isn't on here. There are more nice songs on here than I expected.
Nice a classical jazz singer. Never heard of her, but good to listen to once in a while
I know some people wake up with this in the morning. I drove with this during the morning rush hour and I have to say that I often hear better music. So not recommended.
A singer, must have some guts. That is not the case here. You go from one song to the next while babbling.
Music is easy on the ear while it also has some punch. I had never heard of the soft boys. Almost two and a half hours of soft boys would be a bit much, however the bonus tracks break off after just a few listens.
Funny to hear typical 70s music again. Once in a while is enough.
The dreamy songs like (nice dream) make this a great record.
Nice music to start the workday with. Easy on the ear but not too distracting. Too bad there isn't really a hit in between
Ray Charles, who doesn't know him? I didn't know the complete album "Modern sounds ...". I do know the background vocals and the style. Nice to hear once.
Traffic is a pleasant surprise. Easy on the ear and I actually knew one of their songs: Feelin' Alright?
Nice music, many songs make me unable to sit still in my office chair
Two world hits that you can't ignore, for the rest hmmm
The Ramones were popular when I was in college. Now, it may be strange to say, they seem more dull than they were back then. But the rule is still: Shout it out and go. Great.
What great music! Never heard of it I thought, until I heard Get it on. Of course I knew that song. The entire album is recommended.
At first I thought hmmm, quite nice, but soon I found it an exercise in patience
On the one hand you could label it as cat's whining, on the other hand it sometimes has something
Quite nice to listen to. One megahit. I can imagine that this was a refreshing album at the time.
What a well made album. Mysteriously melancholic and sometimes magical
For this I listen to this album list. New music for me. I have to say there are some nice songs in there. Still, it's not really my thing.
As I wrote yesterday, it's nice to hear new music (for me). What a pleasant surprise this is.
Brian Eno is a well-known name. I didn't know this album though. Quite nice to listen to.
It meanders along happily with a single song that stands out. The entire album disappoints me
Not really my thing, but a pretty good album
This is the first album I listened to twice in one day. The first time I listened I thought it was nice, later in the day I wondered, what did I actually hear. In each case completely new to me
What an album. A beautiful voice and very well known songs.
Completely new music for me, and I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised
At the first song I thought it would be classical music, but that was not the case. Very nice music to listen to with songs that flow seamlessly into each other.
Qu'est-ce que c'est? C'est génial
Dreamy music that doesn't stick
Usually I can appreciate some rough music. However, I found this album less successful
Calm music to wake up to. It promises to swing today
The album cover already raises expectations and Janis Joplin completely lives up to them. Let's go!
David Bowie is a hero. I think Low is far from one of his best albums. I'll go for Scary Monsters
Country-style music might be a thing in America. I'm not really into it.
The solid (massive) basses quickly bring you into a kind of trance. I suspect that if I listen to these basses for too long, I will get a headache.
Well, how many stars do you give an album like that? The first song is 5 stars, the second song is 5 stars, the third is 5 stars. The whole album? Okay, 5 stars too.
What a nice blues, and what a shame that making music is forbidden in northern Mali
I already knew some of the songs, but the whole thing is overwhelming
There's punk and punk. No doubt this was an important band at the time. At the time I didn't get anything from this band
There's punk and punk. No doubt this was an important band at the time. At the time I didn't get anything from this band
Very quickly I knew how many stars I was going to give...
The morning after listening to this album I'm humming a new kid in town
Although a well-known artist, I had never heard the album before. I expected more from it
Listening to this album right after Brian Wilson passed away is special. Back in the day, the Beach Boys made a big impression on me. I even had a compilation album. I had never listened to Pet Sounds in its entirety
Beautiful songs, including a few classics. When I think of John Lennon I always think of this quote: Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans
I'm quite disappointed with this, I actually expected more because they have quite a name.
Grow your hair and headbang. I did it once before, but I can't think of it anymore
An album you knew had to be on this list. And indeed. One cat-yelling song aside, a fabulous album
Never had anything for Metallica. I don't think that will change anymore
Papa was a rolling stone has about the longest intro I know
Nice, but doesn't really do anything for me
Reminds me somewhat of early Bob Dylan
One of the biggest female pop stars is of course Tina Turner. I just noticed that the album cover has a black cat
Of course I knew Praise you. To my surprise the rest is not bad either
I remember that when this album came out it was received enthusiastically. At the time I didn't like it, now I think it's quite nice
Nice debut album. No hits but lots of potential (which became clear afterwards)
A single song that rises above the drab mediocrity is not enough for me to appreciate country
A special album with some very beautiful songs
Nice, but not something I'll listen to a second time
This isn't quite right for me
At the time, it was said that these were the new Beatles. They're certainly good, but as good as the Beatles...
Always had a soft spot for Iggy Pop. Hence...
Beautiful build-up of bombastic songs
The black what? Less than the black...
Well-known, but not great
At the time a very popular album with two classics with extremely beautiful intros
Suddenly you hear "Kids" and you think, "Did they make this?" The album instantly improves. "Kids" isn't on my playlist yet, but that's about to change...
Although some songs are dragging and compelling and the singer has a beautiful voice, it doesn't do much for me
I'm surprised the music isn't as raw and intense as I expected. Frankly, it's a bit of a disappointment, though I understand it was a source of inspiration for other bands. RIP Ozzy
Calm background music that doesn't linger
As is often the case in this list, I think there are better albums by the band/artist in question than the selected one.
I used to listen to the soul show with Ferry Maat on Dutch radio. It was great music.
I once listened to all of Bowie's music. This album came out quite unexpectedly. Like most Bowie albums, it was different from what you'd come to expect. Looking back, I think Scary Monsters is the best album of Bowie. This album, however, is also quite good.
No, I have no experience with drugs. Yes, I think this is a great album.
I find the cover more interesting than most of the songs on this album.
Beautiful. I didn't expect such an album to appear on this list.
Funny, an album where you can sing along to more than half of the songs
To put it in Rutte's words: I have no active memory of this
Heavy music, I must say. On the one hand, it has something to it, on the other, it's not very listenable.
Great, familiar music. Was it groundbreaking? No idea, but it sounds good.
Great jazz. At least, that's what I'd call it. A bit restless at times, but that's part of it.
Never heard of it. I listened to it a half times because it's quite interesting.
"Progen 91"/"Move any mountain" is, of course, Shamen's biggest hit. I used to dance to it a lot in the basement of the Koornbeurs. Unfortunately, the rest of the album doesn't quite reach that level.
Sometimes it sounds a bit like Philip Glass, but mostly it's just restless music
Well, this is the kind of music that doesn't do anything for me. I don't know what to do with it.
Public Enemy may be a well-known name, but the music is not my thing
This reminds me of a scorching hot day at the beach at some over-the-top hip beach club where they hired a DJ
I'm wondering how I could describe this musical style. My appreciation for it varies greatly from song to song.
In high school, you could occasionally bring LPs to music class. Very often, this LP was brought by a classmate.
Today I looked back at the list of previously reviewed albums. I noticed that so far there are only a handful of albums with a global rating of 4 or higher. I expect Green Day to score high as well. I'm going for a...
Calm music, completely new to me, but it doesn't leave a lasting impression
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young has always been a mythical name for me. Now that I'm listening to this album, I wonder why. Were my expectations too high?
Great music to listen to. Almost always good (if you don't want to go crazy).
For many fans of The Boss, this is one of his best albums, if not his best. I agree.
Hmm, surprising. How beautiful.
It started out so well, but in the end, it changed completely. Was I listening to two different albums?
One world hit, the rest I find disappointing. The contrast is simply too great.
What a classic this is! It's great that it's included on this list. It's a pity they were so successful just before "my time."
This is the kind of electronic dance music that I don't care for, although I can imagine that if you listen to it under the right circumstances, you will automatically enter a trance.
The title of this album is well chosen. You have to like this genre to be able to judge how good or bad this album is.
Controversial, groundbreaking, but certainly revolutionary... the Beatles' White Album. A cousin of mine considers it the best Beatles album. I've listened to them all. At the time, I wasn't ready for the revolution. These days, I give it a...
There was a time during my student days when I played Tusk (the song, not the album) over and over again. In my opinion, it's one of the best Fleetwood Mac songs.
Sometimes you get that feeling with this list: you listen to an album you're just not in the mood for. I had the same experience with this album. I have to work too hard to appreciate it.
One song stands head and shoulders above the rest. It happens to be the only song with vocals. The instrumentals are pleasant background music, but nothing special.
A live album, longer than usual, but actually quite enjoyable.
I happened to hear about PJ Harvey recently, in the sense that she's a well-known artist. Well, she wasn't that well-known to me. Pretty good music.
Pretty good music. There's just one song that's really not for me.
Listening to a single song is fine. A whole album is too much of a good thing.
A well-known band, with unknown songs. Was this a debut album? Not according to Wikipedia. Well, what are you supposed to do with it then?
Relaxing music, nice to work to.
What a classic, and what a voice. You don't hear them like that anymore.
I must say, this is some pretty nice symphonic rock music.
Beautiful voice, beautiful music. Not normally my genre.
The cover is, of course, completely wrong. The music is mediocre to passable.
Pretty good, but not quite there yet. It does have an intriguing cover though.
What a beautiful record by Bowie this is.
You have to fight for your right to party. Who hasn't danced to that? I certainly have. I've never heard the entire album. It's not bad.
Not innovative compared to "Get it on"
What a beautiful album! When I listened to it, I discovered there were more familiar songs on it than I'd thought when I looked at the titles.
I saw the film "A Complete Unknown" a while ago. A beautiful reflection of the times and beautiful music. Keep rolling ...
In one ear, out the other. I don't really care for this.
When I'm at the office, I love listening to the album of the day. This time, it was an album that broadens your perspective on what music can be. For that reason alone, it's more than deserved to be on this list.
Say Peter Gabriel, and you say Biko. In my opinion, a more appealing song than Sledgehammer. Even in the first track of this album, I already heard Biko...
When I was young and received the CJP magazine, there was a recommendation for R.E.M. in it. At the time, they were still completely unknown in the Netherlands, yet they were already being recommended. Watch out: this band could become big.
Apart from Child in Time I can't rate this album
Nice music to fall asleep to.
Yes, Roundabout is a big hit. The rest is decent.
Wonderful dreamy music from the time when we made a club magazine with a stencil machine.
Young Bruce still plays most of these songs live. What a beautiful album again.
Undoubtedly good and innovative in its class, but this is not my cup of tea.
Quiet piano music in the background. I quite like it.
Already from 1991? I'm getting old. Still nice music.
At first I thought, "Yeah again?" But I get it. A nice experimental album.
With some songs, I felt like I was listening to the Beatles. Is that a lack of your own sound, or a compliment?
A lot of people back then loved AC/DC (alternating current/direct current). High school pop music calendars were full of it. Back then, I didn't appreciate it that much. Listening back to it, I still don't.
Beautiful, peaceful music, ideal for a relaxing train journey
From the first shrill notes, you know it. This is going to be a special listening experience.
This too was a unique listening experience. A completely new one, but a pleasant one.
This is a decent album. Duran Duran was huge in my youth. The music video for "Reflex" and "A View to a Kill" made a big impression back then.
Even though I'd never heard the entire album in its entirety before, I do recognize most of the songs. What a fantastic album this is.
Surprisingly nice to hear
I would never include this album in a list like this. It's not my taste at all.
George Michael was a phenomenon in his time, and for good reason. Many a teenage bedroom had a poster of him. The funny thing was that George Michael was popular with both girls and boys. Great music from a great artist.
It's so nice to hear this album. It's a lot less old-fashioned than I expected.
What's that weird squeaking sound the car's making? It's the music! Never mind, thankfully their other album is better.
You have to hear this style before to really appreciate it.
Is that interview included? Too bad, I don't appreciate that.
This album is a bit disappointing.
After recently seeing the film about Bob Dylan, this is extra nice to hear
What a fantastic album this is. Don't waste words on this, just listen to it.
Oh, what a punishment. You listen to an album and immediately have a song stuck in your head all day. It would make you paranoid.
What a surprisingly nice album
This album was released unexpectedly. Despite the many hints within the album (for example, David Bowie himself was always pictured on the cover, and now there was a death star on the cover), no one anticipated that David Bowie would die a few days later. This made the album especially impactful.
A nice album, but not very special at the same time
It's not my taste but for once it's perfectly acceptable
Say what you will, but Bowie is a genius. Although I personally wouldn't include this album in this list.
When I played this album at the office, I was told right from the start that I was supposed to play middle-of-the-road music. I continued listening at home. Much of the same, the songs are full of energy.
This album was incredibly popular back then (and still is). It was played over and over again on the radio. I still listen to it with great pleasure.
Such a unique sound and style is so special that you can call it a new genre of its own
Nice music! Never heard of it, but it sounds good.
