I’d never heard this before and I have to admit I loved it!!!

Look, this is a classic for a reason. It’s so good. So smooth. So pleasing and easy and lovely. I want to drown in this music.

London Burning was my favorite song when I was 12/13. Have not revisited it since so this was fun! Highlights: I’m So Bored with the USA, Career Opportunity, Police & Thieves, Garageland Feel I like I need to listen to this to absorb it properly. But it’s fun, makes me feel like I’m in high school several decades ago. Four stars for these working class hero lads

This was an album that I, for some reason, avoided as a child/teen. I think they were “popular” and I liked “real music” (70s musicians with drug issues). Listening to it now, it’s wild how many of these songs were baked into the recesses of my mind despite my avoidance. Robby tried to tell me about the Gorillaz lore. I looked it up on Wikipedia. It’s a very creative idea! I’m glad I listened to it. Ultimately it’s not for me, but I appreciate its existence.

I was introduced to this album when i was 20. Life changing. Listening to it now, nearly 15 years later… if you can overcome how overplayed so many of these songs are… wow what an album. So fun to sing along and dance to, and very dark! Favorite song.. maybe quicksand. Queen Bitch maybe inspiration for Mr. Bright side??? I feel silly giving it anything less than five stars but I can’t reward a known sex pest with 5 :(

Such a fun album but really nothing hits like everyday people

maybe it slayed in 1972 but I found it pretty middling in 2025. would give it 2.5 stars if I could! I will round up.

I expected to hate this. But honestly it kind of slaps. Is it for me? No. Am I glad I listened to it? Yeah! By the time we got to United and You don't have to be old to be wise I was like hell yes!!!!!

Wow great stuff!!!

COME ON. Sarah Vaughan is incredible. Also there’s a trend of 50s jazz singers where they forget the lyrics of a standard and then just improvise lyrics about another singer who sings that song and I love it (Ella Fitzgerald’s Mack the knife is a great example of this)

proto Jon Brion, proto velvet underground, proto many modern music genres??? I wonder if the Seinfeld effect should've been called the Donovan effect. honestly some great tracks here. don't know if I will ever listen again but I'm glad I did this time!
