Love George! As a teenager I used to burn incense and listen to Living in the Material World and The Concert for Bangla Desh's Ravi Shankar opening knowing Harrison would soon follow! The quiet Beatle was so productive following their breakup. Many gems on this particular album
Wonder why the name Incubus never registered with me. Very listenable, including one or two definitely recognisable tunes. I'll listen again.
This album did not grip me. I did hear echoes of Bowie's later albums, the haunting vocals and dark tones.
Oh wow, another one that transports me right back to my rebellious teenage years. Loved this album. Always thought Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention to be the musical equivalent of Monthy Python's Flying Circus. What I appreciate about this 1001 Albums thing is the opportunity to reconnect or discover. My grandson (16) who got me into this bought their album as a result of it some months ago.
Always enjoyable, somewhat monotonous at times, upbeat.
Boring, hard to listen to. Why would anyone need to hear this before they die!?

This album got me curious. I liked some of the songs more than others. Easy to listen to the whole album. Not quite grabbing me.
Familiar with this. Enjoyable enough for short amounts of time
Open to listening to this, but quickly finding it too much. Too aggressive. Not enough melody.
One of my all time favourite artists. This album features a couple of well-known and more, surprisingly unknown songs, display raw emotion, with sweet balads sprinkled in, and uncompromising autonomy of this reluctant superstar
I've never really paid any attention to Nirvana. I was aware of them but didn't associate any particular songs with them. So it was good to be able to recognise quite a few songs here discovering that they were by Nirvana. I didn't mind the album at all but the band won't become an overnight favourite of mine.
Not offensive or difficult to listen to at all, but all a bit one dimensional electronic for my taste.
Yeah nah. Not familiar when I heard it, and it won't become so in future.

Classic. Enduring music. All songs well produced. 4.5
Great album. Good vibrant energy. Some all time classics. A classic
Pleasant melodies, interesting lyrics, Fleetwood Mac like.
Yeah nah. Not an album nor genre I consider essential.
What a pleasant surprise! This is why I enjoy the 1001 album challenge. Very listenable and groovy.
Yeah nah. Not an album I'd love to place on my turntable. The sound too angry and aggressive.
On the day of Brian Wilson's death... Iconic for a certain support base, however not my cup of tea. Too sweet. Easy listening California vibes though.
Another pleasant surprise of another well-known band which I never got interested in for whatever reason (work, home life, focus on the known favourites. Loved listening to this melodic work with beautiful well produced balads and cool songs.
A chance to reconnect with this artist. Bought a CD years ago when that was still common, Trailer Park. Beautiful voice, great arrangements. Pleasure to listen to
I knew of Joao Gilberto and Astrud Gilberto as famous performers of the Bosa Nova, but never of Bebel, his daughter. Very smooth.
I didn't need listen to this famous Dylan album to rate it. The album, owned by my older brother, was the "soundtrack of my youth". Great songs, each and every one. Can there ever be a Bob Dylan at his best? If so, this could be it.

Perhaps too much variation. Didn't get into this.
I quite like the energy this band brings. It was a great era for a new sound. But absolutely required to hear before I die? I don't think so.
One of many "I don't mind this but I'm not overly enthusiastic either" albums. Echoes of Bowie, and the Stones. Raw and rhythmic.
From the era my children were becoming musically aware so I'm really open to hear this. Listening, I'm aware that I have heard many of these songs, just nor that mindfully. Tight sound. Simple. Energy.
What can I say? It's the Beatles.
Surprisingly entertaining and it kept my interest till the end.
This album makes me interested in hearing more as well as finding out more about Cave. Liked the range of styles.
Glam Rock quite entertaining. Some tunes resembling the Beatles at their Rockest. Medium rating for me
Great timeless tunes. Slick production. Great variety of styles. Individual inputs and strengths obvious. Classic
Huge respect for Mr Ray Charles (loved by my parents in the early 60s), but this album ain't it imho. Not the style where he shines.
This should have an rating option of less than one. Can't stand this self absorbed macho sexist violence worshipping stuff.
Yeah nah. I can't get into the yelling vocals. This album gets two stars though for music and some of the fun sounds.
I get it that there are counter revolutions, that punk followed rock, hip hop and rap followed the singer songwriter era. That younger generations push against the status quo. I don't have to like it though. And I just don't like gangsta stuff. Nigga this, nigga that. Missy on her own, those melodic tunes, some is alright. I guess I'm just an ol' boomer. That's OK, "I can take it like a pro, you know".

Generally not into rap, hip hop at all. But this "concept" and humour reminded me of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and that helped me to continue to listen with some degree of interest. Trip Hop, hah! "Oh shit, there's a horse in the hospital" π "Cause I never dug disco" βΊοΈ There's a worrying fascination with rectum on this album. π
Always up for a little Neil Young! This album a nice combination of Neil the Grunge Rocker as well as the folksy singer songwriter. Always with a message that's worth hearing, Neil Young is a great writer as well as a great guitarist.
Scanning the reviews here you either love it or hate it. Mostly, interesting, brooding, reminiscent of some of U2's laments.
A very recognisable 80s British pop sound for me. Quite liked it, therefore a firm 3 rating.
Classic. Favourite singer songwriter genre. Very well known.
I've listened to the whole album but won't choose to listen again. Parts alright, others forgettable.
Promising reviews for this - to me - unknown band. Comments of "not denigrating of women" immediately opened up my ears. Loved the funky Luck of Lucien. Overall though, not added to my Liked Songs
Mweh. Not keen on the tearjerkers. Exceptions, In The Ghetto and Suspicious Minds
Noticed a big variety in musical styles. From experimental to middle of the road sounding pop. Average overall.
Good title! Big differences between the songs. Some very mellow, some sad, some upbeat. Mjy granddaughter pointer the Buckleys out to us. Her name is Gypsy. Guess which song I like the best? Yep, Gypsy Woman. The tearjerkers? Not so into these.
A bit wild for my age. Interesting though.
Wow! First introduction to Sault. What a pleasant surprise! Poignant and beautiful. Great songs, good music. Loved "Bow" particularly.
Springsteen is a legend. Although I have never actually followed The Boss, I understand the appeal of the unusual mix of raw emotions, passionate lyrics, accompanied by very listenable and sometimes.big sounds. I like the Promised Land. The working man is his theme and as such I imagine that many a current Maga fan used to cheer Springsteen. Good to know he leaves them in no doubt.
