Definitely not my cup of Cream! Reminds me of a raw James Brown, but definitely not my taste. The songs just seemed to ramble on like they were just having a jam session without a real finish in mind. I can imagine they were having a good time while doing it. Music wasn’t terrible, just not my thing.
First listened to this on vinyl back in the 70s. My uncle had the album and we that the cover was so funny. Little did I know then that I was listening to pure genius at work. I knew who The Who was at that point and they became a regular on my radio. From Baba O’Reily to Won’t Get Fooled Again, mix in Bargain and Behind Blue Eyes, you have some of their best work here. This album stands the test pf time. Daltry’s strong lyrics, Townsend’s guitar and keyboards, Entwistle’s bass and keyboards, wrapped up with Moon’s drums make this album legendary! When you hear the starting keyboards on Baba, you know what’s coming next and know it’s going to be epic!
I know she was heralded as a pioneer for solo women, but definitely not my taste. She sounds like someone we’d see playing in a coffee house. Strong voice, but just too slow for me.
This is the album that really put Oasis on the map. Unfortunately, the so called “next Beatles” could never get along long enough to prove it! They definitely left their mark with this album with some amazing hits. Too bad they will only be remembered for their family feuds and not their musical talent.
I tried, I really tried, but I just can’t see the attraction. A quintessential folk album of lost love, anti-war and love found. Bob tells his tales, but nothing that keeps my interest. He was good for his time, I guess.
I had never heard of Janelle Monae before listening to this album. Not sure how this even made the list. It was a mishmash of a bit of everything and I could never get straight who she was as an artist. Felt like a compilation of songs she would have sang trying to win American Idol or something. Comparing her to Bowie or Prince is just absurd. I’m sure she hits a chord for someone, just not me.
Was this a joke? This seemed like some sort of musical theater versus a true album of something I really needed to hear before I die! I definitely could have done without ever hearing this album. Seemed like a wanna be Bob Dillon type with no talent. Every song sounded the same with just some random spoken lyrics.
Where it all started with ODB, Ghost Face Killa RZA, Method Man GZA and the rest of the clan. Very raw, but makes a statement. Not their best work, but some good old school hip hop. Sounded like they were having g a good time together while making it. Saw quite a bit of personality in all of the clips within the songs.
A little funk, a little soul, a little R&B, a little do-wap. This album was all over the place. The Temptations definitely led the way for those who followed. Not their best album, but a few gems here.
Bono’s lyrics, the Edge’s guitar riffs, Larry Mullen Jr’s drums and Adam Clayton’s smooth bass! What a stellar album. I believe they’re second best next to Joshua Tree. I remember the first time I played it, Zoo Station was such a move from their previous work, but hooked me immediately. One was just magical. Played it at my wedding! So many great tracks on this album. I can still remember the Zoo TV tour concert at Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego. The stage was so amazing. Like nothing I’d ever seen for a concert before. So cutting edge, just like the album at the time, yet still true to who they were. I’ve probably seen U2 more times than any other band, besides the Cure, and never tire of their amazing talent.
I’ve always loved the Kinks. Part of the 60s British Invasion. They have some great hits. Unfortunately, none on this album. I can see the timing of this album was during the Vietnam war, so the subject of several of the songs makes sense. Just didn’t strike a chord with me.
