I like Depeche Mode but never felt inspired enough to buy an album. This was wonderful but still would not buy it.

What can I say, I WAS a huge fan of Radiohead, weathered through OK computer loving its originality. But there is innovation and there is unlistenable. For me this is the latter and this ended my love affair with them.

Not my sort of music generally so feel I wouldn't do a review on this album justice.

I like Led Zeppelin but not that much. This was a good album but with too many songs some I felt were fillers.

Great tunes and brilliant vocals but feel this work is a bit derivative.

This really surprised me, in a good way. I have never listened to this band before but found the opening track to me mindblowing. It lost one star just as the rest of the album, while great, didn't live up to the first tracks potential.

This was a great album with lots of great tracks but nothing that stood out as interesting or novel.

I like Depeche Mode but never felt inspired enough to buy an album. This was wonderful but still would not buy it.

I found this quite boring - I do like Joy Division but here I felt a lot of the songs sounded the same.

This was a fantastic album - I felt like I was walking around San Francisco during the Summer of Love, thats how emotive it was. I thought it was innovative, though very much in the psychedelia genre.

This is a completely new band to me. Without research I would have said that they were from 2000 onwards. In fact they are a late UK 80s band. This album is lovely but not interesting enough for me to give it 4 stars pity.

I am not the biggest fan of the Clash - or punk in general but this was better than I thought. Rudi cant fail and Lost in the Supermarket are great songs. But I feel that the album is rated highly more for its title track.

I didnt need to listen to this whole album to give it five stars...but I did anyway. Like a tuneful Lou Reed and a source of inspiration to many bands, including Elastica, this is a New York feast for the ears. Great lyrics and melodies and wonderful album.

After the brilliance of Television comes Jamiroquai. I think that if you have never heard Stevie Wonder in your life. Which is sad. Then you would think this is amazing. But I adore Stevie and this is far too derivative to even appreciate that they are okay songs in their own right.

Like early Pink Floyd and Rush I always thought I would like this album/band. Unlike the aforementioned bands I actually do! This is a wonderful proggy sound in a band where Greg Lake is actually allowed to shine without having the unlistenable madness of ELP. It has a Jethro Tull feel with the flute and the songs are beautifully layered. After my first time listening this will be one to buy.

This album is on my list of ones to buy but now I have listened to it I am not sure. Perhaps my expectations were too high - I thought it would be country tinged singer songwriting style but it is a bit too much country for me. Definitely great but perhaps not for me.

I haven't really listened to Nina Simone before so this was a revelation. The songs were beautiful and the production innovative. One of the highlights being another version of Lilac Wine. Alternatively romantic and political with each song. This is an album to be savoured.

I have Run, Sodomy and the Lash and that's okay! But even with Fairytale of New York I am not really loving this. I feel the best track is Turkish Song of the Damned and that is not enough to get more than 3 stars.

This sounds like something I would hear at a cocktail party (which I would never go to) or in a trendy jazzy restaurant (which I would never go to) so not for me (not for me).

I am now thinking the generator hates me. Why else is it giving me the band behind Blue Monday, the most soulless song ever! I didn't dislike this as much I thought I would but, even though I love electronic music, this is too dancey for me

Hey ! at last classic rock. I love Deep Purple and while not a big fan of live albums (taking of one star for the pleasure?!) this was greeeaat:)

My favorite Radiohead album of them all. After their first album with the wonderful Creep + lots of fillers and before they went crazily electronic this album had not a dud song on it. Brilliant videos and amazing lyrics and tunes. Great album

Whoa ! the Band! Great love this band. But I would not say this is my favorite albums of theirs so sorry 4* I will make it up with Stagefright/Brown album though.

I hate drum and base. I also hate Jass Fusion. In addition, I hate instrumentals. Guess what I thought of this album? Here is a clue. I sat through 5 minutes and turned it off.

I have never heard of this band before and it was nice. Good tunes and vocals. But (pet peeve) it sounded a bit samey to me. Couldn't distinguish after listening to it one song from t'other.

I liked the energy of this album. Wiki notes this band along with Green Day + others were responsible for making punk rock popular again in the 90s....ah yes Green Day now THATS a good band. This just doesn't cut it for me but I have to thank it for making want to listen to Bowling for Soup again!

I always had the impression that I didn't like Pixies but listening to this I feel they are a better band than I thought. I think the issue is that the first tracks are very stereotypical post punk and not that interesting. But once you get into Here comes your man and the tracks that succeed it you can appreciate that they are innovative.

I came to Bowie late not liking the poppy tunes he had in the 80s then I heard Starman on the radio and it was like time stopped. My favorite Bowie period will always be his glam rock period. However, this is so innovative, so ahead of his time and so hauntingly beautiful.

I am not a friend of punk. You add hardcore to it we are enemies. Thought it was just one long song and the album is so short, whats the point. I read that it was influential for some genres of music that followed, such as Skate Punk and Thrash Metal. Do I look like I care?

I generally prefer prog metal but this was fantastic. Really great song, vocals and melodies. Great to listen to before starting work!

I can see how this album was influential to the heavy metal genre - I can hear elements of Deep purple here, but I don't really like rock n roll and if this was self-penned I may be a bit forgiving, however only three of the six tracks here were written by a member of the band. Hmm

Hmm another Pixies album. Hmm. I gave them a chance the last time with Dolittle, but this album is filled with masses of 2 minutes wonders that are so punky and over so quickly they don't touch the sides of your brain. The only highlight is "where is my mind" that is so lovely it makes you ache for what this album could be.

Great album, really nice lyrics and tunes

If you really want to give yourself a migraine listen to this - irritating and tuneless. Like you gave some four year olds some guitars and a drum kit. In fact their repetitive "lyrics" sound like they were written by young-uns.

Absolutely bloody brilliant. So beautiful. At first I was confused as I thought their music was disco but it is more soul/rnb with wondrous vocals and production that includes guitar solos. Most importantly is the way this album made me feel - comforted and invigorated at the same time.

I know of FA but never listened to anything by her imagining her music to be some hipster 90s rubbish. So the first track Sleep to Dream was mind blowing..but after this it got very forgettable. Sounds like Macy Gray and others. Not bad, but too much filler for me.

Great album, signs of things to come. I loved the production values. An album definitely made for airplay. The King in every sense.

I know of the White Stripes and like Seven Nation Army but never felt inspired to buy anything of theirs, so you can imagine my ennui when faced with this BUT I loved it. Really different but with beautiful melodies. I normally compare musical acts to others but couldn't for the life of me think of who this reminded me of, which is also a bonus! An unexpected 4*

Nice album, I love soul and he has a great voice but I didn't feel any one song stood out.

American 1960s psychedelia? Bring it on! But then I thought the album was not as good as I expected it to be. One or two were great but not enough to enthuse me. It gets an extra star just because I can appreciate the genre.

What can I say, I WAS a huge fan of Radiohead, weathered through OK computer loving its originality. But there is innovation and there is unlistenable. For me this is the latter and this ended my love affair with them.

One of my favorite groups. What a voice, what creative songs, what melodies, what drumming, what an album. Insanely good.

I love love Stevie, I am convinced everything he touches turns to gold. However, I would not say that this is his best album. But there is something about what he does to music that makes one grin from ear to ear.

Gene Clark is a god, one of the founding members of the Byrds and the best songwriter of those. I would give it five stars but I will save that for No Other, one of my favorite albums of all time.

Tori had a lot of comparisons to Kate Bush when she was first around, but if it's a crime to like Kate we would all be in prison, right? This is an album that reeks of Tori herself, dark, honest, melodic and absolutely stunning.

Great album, this band are so wonderful I smile when I listen to them. The production shines through but they have better albums so 3 from me.

Hmm love Smiths, didnt love this, perhaps their weakest album. Its not that I hated it but didnt really appreciate it as much as I would do.

I am not a fan of rap but this is accessible, love the melodies and production. Happy Birthday KEndrIcK!

Rubber soul - one of the the Beatles most perfect albums, bridging the gap between their "boy band" early years and the more introspective psychedelic later years. Every track is listenable and memorable, with many songs becoming staples. My favorite - Nowhere Man.

I don't like rap music. I like to think to myself that if a rap band was really good I might like it. But it all seems to me all words and no melodies. I can quite easily listen to a song in another language if the tune is good but find it difficult when there is nothing nice for my ears to hear. This album didn't break down my rap barrier i'm afraid, although I did like Bingo.

I bought this album when it came out, loved it and still have it on cassette. I have of course listened to it in the intervening years but today I felt I didnt appreciate it as much as I did then. Perhaps that time the bands who were making this post punk music were not very listenable and Dookie looked good by comparison. It IS a good album but I feel three stars is my score today.
