Definitely an 80's album, there is not a song on here that you would confuse as a more modern track. Peter Gabriel definitely has a distinct voice and the music is very catchy. The second song, Sledgehammer, is listed as the most popular song on the album by YouTube Music plays, but it's one I'm honestly not familiar with. Red Rain and In Your Eyes are way more iconic to me and continue to get more play/pop culture reference so that's interesting to me. In Your Eyes always has been and always will be an absolute banger.

It's not a bad album but also not particularly great. If you like the 2000s indie sound its solid but nothing sticks out like Take Me Out. Decent background music if you don't want it quiet but don't want the music to take your attention away. Not surprising that there weren't any other popular songs off this one.

CCR is the definition of "Classic Rock". That 60s/70s hippie rock that is such a distinctive, iconic sound. "Bad Moon Rising" is obviously the biggest hit here but the title track "Green River" is one of their best songs too, and that's saying a lot. This is a great album, and the scary part is it may not even be their best album, and the scary part of that is that you could probably make that case for any of their albums. One of the greatest bands of all time, putting out constant hits. Easy to see why they are on this list!

Al Green has a great voice, but this album doesn't do a lot to showcase any kind of range for him. While the opening track "Let's Stay Together" is iconic, the rest of the album feels very similar. Most of the tracks have the same pace, similar sound, and don't really do anything to break things up. It works well for background noise but doesn't really do much for me as far as active listening goes. Nothing "sounds bad" just doesn't switch up enough for my taste. A fine album, but not a particularly great one.

I feel really weird giving this a "mid" review, because it has a couple great songs on it, but other than "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon" nothing else really gripped me. It wasn't that it was "bad" music, just didn't get the same jolt and excitement from the rest of the music. It was just "there". Worked as background music but not something that kept me focused on the songs themselves. Elton's got a fantastic voice, and is definitely one of the all-time greats, but this album as a whole just didn't pull me in the way I expected.

What an iconic 90s rap album. I really love the sound, even if there's no chance in hell I could rap along to 95% of the lyrics. I'd forgotten that rap albums used to be about 80% rap music and 20% comedy skits and low key love that, wish I'd see that more these days. Lots of the music does tend to blend together and sounds get repetitive. It's easy to forget how limited some of the tools were at the time and what they had to work with compared to what's available now. This album has some of the most iconic songs and sounds of the genre and even though I don't listen to rap regularly, I am glad I got to experience this album again after so long.

So many hits on this record, it's easy to see why people remember it as one of the greatest Pop albums of all time. I will say that while there are a number of hits, this does also have a few "misses" like "Speed Demon" and "Just Good Friends" which aren't necessarily "bad" songs but they just aren't anywhere close to the same level as the rest of the album. Everyone absolutely should listen to this album so I'm glad it's here.

Live album with that very distinctive hippie late 60's-early 70's sound. Unfortunately not my thing, really struggled trying to get through this one and eventually just gave up. From a "technical" standpoint it's well put together, just not a sound I enjoy.

Incredibly solid "classic rock" vibe. YouTube Music only hosts 6 of the 18 songs from the album, but of those six there wasn't a single one I didn't enjoy. Surprised I never heard of them before, "8:05" is a great song and feel like it should have more than the 499,000 listens it has at my listening time. Feel like the only way I can describe them is "under rated" and I'll have to search out more from them!

Confession time: I think Bruce Springsteen's voice is terrible. There, I said it publicly. He can write some great songs, but listening to him sing them is painful to me. I couldn't make my way through the album. Great song writer, terrible singer. I know that's an unpopular opinion, and he's an American icon...but man I just can't get behind it. Will not give this one another go.

This album is a bit of a head trip. Going in without any knowledge, it was hard trying to decide if this was going to be ska, or reggae, or rock and roll...and it turns out it's a bit of a mix of all of the above. A "second wave" ska band out of the UK from the 80s. They start the album off with their strongest song in my opinion, and the rest is either mildly interesting or flat. Neat to hear once, don't think I'd need to listen to it again though. Definitely the type of album that has to be "your thing".

One of the all-time classic rock albums. Kashmir is a song that transcends time, and I'm honestly really surprised at the relatively smaller number of listens that "House of the Holy" has on YouTube Music compared to other songs on the album. So many great songs on this album you're bound to find something for everyone.

Very unique vocal sound, and seems to change it up a bit from song to song. A bit of early indie/folk singer-songwriter style popular in the 2000s like Ben Folds. Very calming music, great for a rainy day. A bit on the "emo" side from a vibe-standpoint. Well done album, but no real "hits" on here. Great to have on in the background and vibe to.

This album is an absolute trip in the best way. No two songs feel like they are really the same genre or inspiration. And yet, through all the change, everything sounds great. While listening, one of my comments to my friends was that it seemed like the record label asked them to define their genre and they replied with "lol you'll never guess"...and looking up the band on Wikipedia that's basically the whole purpose of the band to begin with! Absolutely nailed it. This album was an absolute delight. nothing at all like what I expected based on the cover, and I can't wait to check out their other albums. Absolutely fantastic.
