Gram ParsonsLess rock and more country. I hear his influence in the band Pavement's music. Love Ooh Las Vegas.

Some amazing songs on here and some self-indulgent stuff as well. Overall a good album once you know your place as a listener.
I remember hearing this back in the day. Forgot about this recording. At the time it sounded very advanced for it's time. There were some others out there, like the Ninja Tune artists, but this recording was certainly ahead of the curve. Some acid jass, techno, electronic, hip-hop influnce this recording. I can still listen today and it takes me back to the late 1990's, before Y2K.
Not my favorite R.E.M. record. This and the previous record, Document, started getting R.E.M. on the pop music stations and more heavy rotation on MTV. To me the sound became to polished and to overproduced. While there are still some amazing songs on this record, it just was not my style. I was a big fan and went to every show when they would come into town, but by this record, I was less interested in the band. This album was really less jangle pop as the previous albums and R.E.M. seem to lose their college radio station sound. That is fine, we all have to graduate from college someday. However, for R.E.M. their college sound was what drew me in and made them endearing.
Love David Bowie. Love this record. While I was too young to know this record when it came out, I have grown to appreciate it in my years. Sound and Vision is a favorite of mine and if one song can encapsulate the mood, feeling, sound of the record, it is this one song. The production is fantastic and this record is a favorite of many and I can see why. Certainly a top three record from David Bowie for me.
Not my cup of tea generally. This album is fine but I preferred. Countdown to Destruction.
When this was released I really knew Jay Z but more casually. This record was somewhat groundbreaking for him and really brought him to the forefront of hip-hop/rap music. Great production and excellent music combined to make this a record for the ages.
Not their best album but a very solid album. This was more mainstream, if one could say that, compared to the previous albums. Some very good songs.
Other than a couple of songs, this album is a bit dated. However it was certainly ahead of its time and still resounds in the mind.
This record makes me feel good all over. Very quality record and I forget about its existence until times like this and it makes me happy. Love this band and I have been lucky to see them a few times and early in their career.
While not my typical kind of music, I did grow up with Ozzy Osborne and Black Sabbath was just before I would have started to listening to rock and metal. A good album, but just not my speed.
Never heard of this artist. At least not as a solo artist, if he may have been part of some group. This album was fun, quirky, and the vocals were fun and catchy. The music on the first song was fantastic and match the vocals perfectly. The following songs felt like they were telling a story. Sometimes jazzy, sometimes rock n roll, sometimes folksy. I think I will have to put this record on replay for the next few weeks.
One of my favorite albums of all time. On my desert island top 10 list of records. Songs that still find a way to my heart.
One of my favorite records of all time and it is not even my top U2 album or (three). Some really lovely songs and the mood it sets is transcending.
I really enjoyed many of the songs on this record. In fact I own a physical copy. Get Free is a song that I still listen quite a bit today. For a 20 year plus old album, it still sounds as fresh as when it came out.
One of my favorite records from back in the early 90's. But what I remember this is the time that Brit Pop was just starting to make its way with music in Britain, countering the dirty rough music America was putting out. At the time this sounded raw and inspired and now looking back and contrasting it against bands like Suede, Elastica, Blur, Oasis, and even Radiohead to some extent. Those were heady times!
