Have you listened to Lynyrd Skynyrd before? If so, yep this sounds like them. The highlight is obviously Free Bird to close out the album. Overall, it pretty good, just what you expected it to sound like.
The first live album, and the first Who album so far. Decent, but short (only 5 songs? really?). It's right before their peak, so a lot of their really great songs aren't included.
A very good live album. Some songs I knew, but most I didn't know. Really liked their Bowie and Vaselines covers. Much better live album than Live at Leeds.
Surprisingly good album, sorta reminds me of OKGo? Anyways, liked it.
Weird, and I don't care for it
Great album especially if you like Fagen's work with Steely Dan. Standout tracks were I.G.Y and New Frontier.
Solid, but probably not their best
Pretty solid album, but I prefer Cash's cover of Hurt.
I like some electronic music...but I can't stand this. Some parts aren't bad (No Good was decent). It gets a star for being mentioned in Gunnerkrigg Court however (even if Fat of the Land is better)
Solid jazz funk album, but not quite up to Steely Dan's standards.
Great album, obviously a fantastic first half. Defined hard rock for the rest of the century. Great debut and just crazy to listen to.
It's fine I guess. Kind of a fun Bob Dylan-esque album.
Very good electronic album. Best song is People Hold On, but definitely has some other good tracks. Kinda reminds me of a combination of the Avalanche and Enigma.
The album that made R.E.M great. Probably one of the best political rock albums of all time. Often overshadowed by the other albums of '87, but it's hard to compete with great albums like The Joshua Tree, Diesel and Dust, Kick, Appetite for Destruction, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, Hysteria, and Music for the Masses. Even so, this is probably my second favorite of the year (after Joshua Tree) and gets a well deserved 5 stars.
Very good album. I'm Glad and Where There's Women are standout tracks. Can hear the Ry Cooder influence on this one.
Maybe this would be more exciting if I had paid attention in French class, but it's just a guy talking over music.
Ehhh. It's an album I guess. I liked Fishin' For Religion but the rest of the album kinda sucks. A real shame, I thought this would be pretty good.
It sounds like Bowie and thats not a bad thing. A lot of fun songs on this one. Easily some of his most fun work. A lot of good songs on this one but my favorite might be How Does The Grass Grow.
Very reminiscent of Midnight Oil, which is certainly not a bad thing. Great album and would recommend to any rock fan.
I thought I would like this one. I like the Cure, Depeche Mode, and a lot of the bands that are usually considered in the same conversation as the Sonic Youth. But this album was just loud and annoying for an hour. Great if that's your thing but I just don't enjoy it.
Excellent album. Easily one of the best rock albums of the 90's.
Not bad. I'm not the biggest fan of world music, but I can enjoy it every so often. A lot of fun guitar parts in this one, and you can defintely hear the Ry Cooder input. My standout song is Lasidan.
Great album, one of the pinnacles of Britpop. Standout songs are Common People, Disco 2000, and Mis-Shapes. Overall, a fun listen and has a lot of great moments.
My favorite album of all time, and probably the greatest U2 album. A great guitar album, every track sounds different but never boring. This album launched a new era for U2, which I personally enjoy more than the 80's. It's also worth noting that I believe this was the best album of it's year, even when facing the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Guns n Roses, Michael Jackson and others.
Maybe the greatest pop album ever. So many great songs (and one dud, looking at you McCartney)
A great jazz album, not my favorite jazz artist but still great.
A couple of great songs and then some average Linkin Park.
The beginnings of new wave, and boy does it sound like it. Most songs were pretty similar, but interesting in the same way that Kraftwerk is. Solid album, but can't say I'll be listening again anytime soon.
Great album, and a must listen
Not quite Rumours but still good, even the Buckingham songs
Fantastic album. Not quite Urban Hymns level but still a solid entry in Britpop.
Great album. Obviously probably Nirvana's best and for good reason. 90's alternative would have been totally different without grunge and this album is really the best of that.
The last great Britpop album. Obviously Bittersweet Symphony is the highlight but it has a lot of great songs besides that.
