Born To Run
Bruce SpringsteenPerfect encapsulation of what made Bruce, Bruce. Catchy riffs, sweeping and epic sounds, and genuine pathos as a working man. Great stuff.

Do wop Beatles. Some great tracks that tease their future textural intricacies, but not my go to if I'm in the mood for the Fab Four.
Does it have too many sounds and songs? Absolutely. Is it a mishmash of sounds and occasionally cringe lyrics? Absolutely. Is it one of the greatest albums of the 90s and the Beasties at the height of their powers? Absolutely. Five fucking stars.
Rock and fucking Roll.
Nostalgia? Probably. I can still smell the campfires, Icehouse beers, and schwag weed when I listen to this. It smoked in the 90s and hasn't aged a day since. Sally, the same can't be said for me, but whatever. Still a great album.
As blaspheming as it sounds, I'm not as high on this album as others. Some of the most classic songs in the Stones oeuvre don't scratch my itch. That being said, if I'm listening to this album, it's probably a good night with some good friends.
Full disclosure, I find Van The Man to be the most overrated classic rock crooners. This album has done little to change my mind. Incredible arrangements and a beautiful backing band, this album contains all his hallmarks, but for some reason, it just doesn't do it for me. Oh well...
Some surprisingly slamming songs on this album. Couple of cheeky, but guaranteed hit covers. Voice of a generation. Still doesn't mean I wanna listen on the reg, but really glad I did today.
First time listen. Loved it.
Good album. Always enjoy listening to it.
I don't like Michael Jackson. And that's okay.
Ah, the halcyon days when Kings of Leon, Wolfmother, and the like were going to save rock n roll. Didn't quite happen, but that doesn't mean there weren't some really solid releases, with this being one of them.
Holy shit, this album is incredible. Everything I love about hip hop, and I'm shocked it flew under my radar this long. Incredible instrumentation, samples, loops, and lyrics. Smoke from T to B.
Loud. Bombastic. Offensive. Brilliant. Love this album.
Brit pop is arguably my favorite single genre of music. My favorite band of all time is The Verve and many of my favorite songs and albums are from this sub genre. I have felt this way about this album and Oasis in general since 1996... Oasis is the single most overrated, uninspiring, mid Brit Rock band to emerge from the genre and this album is a sad commodification of it's stylings.
Do I love this album as much as I did when I was 19 and stoned in my dorm room? No. Is it still one of the greatest live albums of all time and one of the greatest Southern rock bands at the height of their powers? Yes.
Ah, the old days. Smells like a junior high dance.
I'm sure the experts can explain why this album is listed. I hated bunk pop in the kid 80s and hate it now.
Album is smoke, from to to bottom.
The album where The Stones matured. Still one of the greatest opening numbers to any album.
Rock n fucking roll. Almost prog, almost metal, almost alternative. This band is truly unique.
Good stuff.
70s rock pomposity at it's finest. Jim Steinman can suck a dick. Not a fan of this album.
