More Than A Feeling is a true soaring classic but the rest of the album seemed samey FM rock.

So many years on , it’s difficult not to hear the seeds of the classic albums to come. Still a great listen though. Apart from the well known singles, Turn You Inside Out and Hairshirt were standouts for me.

I’m not a big fan of covers/standards albums and this didn’t change my mind. Nice vocals and I enjoyed “ On The Sunny Side of The Street” but won’t return to this album!

Very impressive double album with one strong track after another. I have probably heard the big hits a few too many times but great to discover tracks I never knew like Saturn. A lot of the songs are a bit too long though and I could have done without the two instrumentals!

Not my favourite PS album. Wonderful vocals and some great songs but some songs a bit too whimsical. Run That Body Down is my favourite track.

The intro to Sara is still spine tingling and the title track is an odd, eccentric masterpiece. The rest couldn’t really sustain me through a whole double album though.

Really enjoyed some of the more upbeat songs. Great band and bass sound. A bit dated overall though.

Nice album. Very typical early 90s sound. Very upbeat and fun. Good to listen to Groove Is In The Heart more closely.

I wasn’t really looking forward to listening to this album but really enjoyed it. Quite a variety of different styles. Great musicianship. The two G songs were really good as was Vendetta.

Still fresh and raw after 55 years. True classic album!

That sound - just flows through the album. One great song after another. Such an influential album.

Rhythmically interesting and good for running! I only really enjoyed a couple of songs though - Juicy and Respect. Won’t be coming back to this one.

The hits are familiar and good but not much else to interest me on this album. Don’t Get Mad, Get Even was a bit more bluesy and interesting.

Mostly a covers album but well above average for this genre. Great backing band and soulful vocals.

Hasn’t aged well. 80s pop and nothing really to recommend outside the catchy hit singles.

Every track is strong and well produced. Vocals are spot on and a surprisingly enjoyable album.

Nice album but quite dated now and “of it’s time”. Enjoyed Grace Slick’s vocals.

My first Randy Newman album and quite a treat. Simple short songs with sarcastic deeper meaning in the lyrics. Enjoyed every song.

Started off well with ‘I looked away’ but most of the originals descended into over long doodles. Big Allman influence. The old blues numbers were good.

Music doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. Each song is a wonderful stand alone vignette. Urgent and refreshing. I enjoyed all the tracks not just the well known couple.

I am a long time big EC fan and I think Alison is one of the best songs ever written. This was quite a debut but the songs are not all as strong as most albums to come. Also, it’s not the Attractions!

All sounds a bit dated and ‘Austin Powers’ now. Quite repetitive. Enjoyed Mo Onions though as a variation on the famous track!

Was really not expecting much(!) but this is a strangely enjoyable album, especially the more upbeat ‘chanty’ songs. Will come back and listen again.

Great album. The second side was a bit of a shock after the gentle acoustic side 1! Loved the guitar work on Powderfinger.

Took a bit of stamina to get through this collection of country crooning. Not for me.

Loved this album even the tracks that Lou Reed didn’t sing. Guitar work, melodies, lyrics. Every song was good.

I have never listened to this album before although the famous songs I know well. Amazing. A lot more psychedelic than I was expecting. What a debut and a classic album.

A bit overrated for me. The famous songs are great but the rest lack variety. Liked My Michelle!

A fun, energetic, eclectic album. Enjoyed every track.

Listened to this on the day of Brian Wilson’s death. I’m not really a Beach Boys fan but this is a wonderful album full of melodic, quirky songs. Some of it reminds me of early 10cc.

Very nice album. The vocals are very soulful and songwriting is high quality.

Was looking forward to this one but a bit underwhelmed by the first 2 tracks on first listen. Then it all took off after the Classic Child In Time. One great song after another and a very nice early example of the genre!

So Beatlesque that it almost seems like a pastiche! Nice melodic songs and vocals though.

Must admit I’ve never heard of this band or album. Great bit of angry, disaffected punk though and obviously a very influential album. Really enjoyed the riffs and guitar work. I think Green Day lifted a lot from this EP!
