The Queen Is Dead
The SmithsI would listen to this again.
I would listen to this again.
Still a great album. I own this.
Still found the standout to be Layla.
Hated this less than I expected. First track and the later instrumental track were the only standouts. Couldn't get past the singers nasal, whiny tones.
I would listen to this again.
Not a fan. I've heard The Weight before, but it was a cover by Travis. I prefer that to the original.
High school memories. Crazy to hear Frozen and Power of Goodbye again. Madonna's voice is great with this style of music. However- would the album have gotten much attention if if hadn't been Madonna?
I enjoyed this. Hadn't heard of them before - interesting that they're from North Ireland.
Started out strong, but I didn't enjoy most of it.
Listening to this was a lengthy undertaking! But it was fun!
Not a genre I usually listen to. I think I'd have to be in the right mood. Slightly creepy.
A classic, especially the title track.
Too discordant for my taste. Hard to believe this is from the 80s - ahead of its time.
Thank you Internet Archive; this wasn't on Spotify. I didn't realize I knew the second song. This sounded like a bridge between the Beatles and Guster. A fun listen.
Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins sound identical to me. I can't stand either of them. This solo Peter Gabriel album did not change my opinion.
Tried to listen, but did not finish.
I did not like this at all. Boring and nothing unique.
Not memorable for me. OK, not bad.
I liked this more than I expected to. It definitely defines a mood. If there were half stars, I'd rate 3.5.
Not a genre I enjoy. Some of the songs were fun, despite the subjects.
This was awesome. Great rock album.
I liked the live show format. I was completely unfamiliar with the artist before this.
Hard to decide between a 3 and a 4. I liked the music and instrumentation. I didn't like his voice or the lyrics.
I liked this. Some really nice songwriting.
I appreciate her lyricism, but stylistically it reminds me of the muzak I used to have to listen to at work.
All over the place stylistically. A few of the songs were fun, but there was some abysmal muzak sprinkled in alongside wannabe rap. No idea why this is on the list.
Some weird bonus tracks, but I mostly enjoyed this.
Discordant hodgepodge. Seemed like the sort of thing someone would listen to and claim they were edgy and informed. French mess.
Nope
Front end loaded with the best songs. Back half was boring, really repetitive. All about disco.
I listened to this with no knowledge of the album's history, and really didn't enjoy it. Felt like I was listening to a kid's album. Read the back story afterwards. While I can now appreciate the significance for Beach Boys fans, I still didn't enjoy it.
Angry girl rock! I'm still amazed at how many of these songs were radio hits. It was such a big deal at the time. Still fun to listen to.
From a historical perspective, it's cool that there's a live recording. However, I still can't separate the person from the music. Ick.
I liked this except for Turn Blue
This has not aged well. 80s throwback.
I really enjoyed this. Felt I was listening to Irish music and DMB at times.
Moody and melodic. I liked it.
Good reggae album.
Taking me back to my retail days, stuck listening to Rikki Don't Lose that Number. This is not a good thing.
Ah, we have a cultural difference here. This charted well in the UK, but not stateside. It's bombastic, lecherous and honestly pretty silly. Some lovely pop moments, but not enough to overcome the silliness.
