Surprised by the number of songs that I knew on this album. Fun guitar solos throughout. Drums support nicely.

Some absolute classics, but not a needle mover for me.

Was previously only familiar with Running Up That Hill, so nice to listen to the entire album. I think the vocals are playful and unique. Feel the album misses a guitar and drums at times.

I am honestly not sure what to make of this. Thoroughly enjoy the beat, the brass, the sax, but it is not something I will find myself coming back to.

Reminds me of Styx? Some fun, playful instrumental things happening.

An absolute classic. Few are as accomplished as Elton, and he hits some of his highest notes here.

My initial thought before realizing who Lou Reed actually was, was that this sounded quite a bit like Cake. Fun one.

All a bit one note

last song is wild

Second Kate Bush album I've gotten after Hounds of Love. Certainly more 'out-there' as an album.

A pleasant surprise

If it's good enough for Good Will Hunting, then it's good enough for me.

A bit too all over the place for me

First real time listening to anything other than the main beach boy hits.

Not their best work, but there has been worse music on this list

Peaks with the first song

A little long, a little boring at times. The guitars aren't as impressive after 70 minutes.

Just pleasantly surprised song after song.

It wasn’t as awful as I feared it would be

Some bangers but a lot of meh

One banger and the rest meh

Inoffensive but forgettable

No thanks

Knew more of these songs from samples 🫣

I was ten or eleven years old, reading a book I have long forgotten, and I vividly remember that it mentioned Fleetwood Mac playing in the background. At that time, I had no idea who Fleetwood Mac was. For all I knew, the band was fictional and made up for the purpose of the story. I'm not sure when I realized that Fleetwood Mac was an actual band, but I can remember pouring through their discography shortly after college and falling in love. Rumors is one of the few albums I consider perfect.

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would

Did my best to locate the album

What a vibe

In no way, shape or form, did I need to listen to this album before I died.

I’m showing my youth a bit here, but my first exposure to Ozzy came from my father (who claimed to hate reality TV) having The Osbournes. I found it entertaining as hell and it was only later I learned he was a musician.

A little goes a long way here

This list has too much Lou Reed

Genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this.

I saw Ice Cube at a music festival in 2016(?). It was pouring down rain and I was drunk off cheap alcohol. I had limited exposure to his music at that point, and I can't say that I spent much time afterwards diving in. It's not really relevant to this review, but I'm sharing it anyway.

For the longest time in my life I imagined Meatloaf’s music was something completely different

I have no issue with the specific album, but pretty tired of all of the average brit-pop representation.

Patiently waiting for the next state

A bit of the Beatles best work is here, but there’s a bit too much fat around the edges as well.

Some of his best work is on this album

It sounds fine enough, but all blends together.

Is it the worst album on this list? No. Does its presence on the list confuse me? Yes.

bawitdaba was cool when I was a child. Not now.
