A middle of the road album with a handful of stand out tracks

Obviously very guitar focused some interesting blend of Latin and guitar riffs. Fairly unmemorable

A very distinctive sound that’s Mark Knopfler’s great guitar work with the stand out track Sultans of Swing

A great blues album with a little country mix. Really enjoyed it.

I’ve always thought Prince was overrated, this did nothing to change my mind.

Really enjoyed this album. The Latin/samba beats were great. Even enjoyed by my Son , which is quite the endorsement apparently!!

They can certainly play their instruments fast and shout a lot. The slower tracks were better I thought but overall sounded like a lot of other American guitar/drum bands. It was ok at best for me.

This is a great album with obviously 2 standout tracks. Iggy Pop has lived a life for at least 3 people so it’s quite something he’s still broadcasting on 6Music.

Enjoyed this album. Very similar sound to many 60s groups. Great use of the organ. Couple of stand out tracks

Listened to this and quite enjoyed it. British folk often overshadowed by American folk.

Very meditative but not my thing.

EVH can certainly play guitar and he never misses an opportunity to demonstrate. A skilled musician but fairly forgettable album I’m afraid

There’s no mistaking Michael Stipe’s vocals. Don’t know about my religion , but I was definitely losing something here. Just warming up for their real breakout album I guess.

One of the best known UK ska bands , without which they’d be no Madness. Some great songs on this album.

Left me thinking I was listening to Joy Division, so much so that my ears pricked up and I thought this has got better - it had finished in fact and Spotify played JD She’s lost Control. Very unforgettable I’m afraid

Not too sure where to begin , not sure I wish it had. A long 38 minutes of which most was an assault on the senses. Nope

Really great album. Loved it

Reminded me a lot of Nick Drake at times. That in itself should have won me over but it was quite bland

Don’t mind a bit of Country but can equally see why the arrival of Rock ‘n Roll was a breath of fresh air !

Some stand out tracks that have stood the test of time but overall, fairly samey. Love piano in tracks and Oliver’s Army has that and really adds something

I enjoyed this but probably couldn’t tell you much about it today.

To be fair , I quite enjoyed this. I have on good authority that there are better albums by The Smiths. Morrisey is a very morose singer and Johnny Marr is a great guitarist

Really enjoyed this album. Couple of standout tracks.

I’ve always enjoyed Talking Heads. They experiment with different sounds and this album is no exception. The stand out Once in a Lifetime sounds just as good now as at release. I’ve seen David Byrne live and it was an amazing experience, he’s always experimenting with new ideas. Great album

Ah , a bit of disco courtesy of Niles Rodgers. Some cracking tunes , heavily sampled over the years. We are Family has been spoiled by adverts unfortunately. Great

Alex Turner has such a distinctive voice and style. It was hard to not feel I was listening to the Arctic Monkeys. Enjoyable but not outstanding
