You either love or hate Morrissey...and I hate him. Hate is a strong word so I will just say I have never liked his whining sound.

I appreciate learning more about them besides "Come On Eileen!"

Superb!

Rap metal - there's a first time for everything but we have moved on. And so this feels tepid now.

Tons of distortion, metal, and noise. Not my cup of tea, but I see why it may be a big deal.

I could see how this is legendary!

Some standout tracks for sure, but Version 2.0 is a more consistently solid and well-produced album.

Neil Young is a god-like talent. I did not know this album but enjoyed very much.

How timely with Ozzy's death. Never was into him or Black Sabbath so I appreciate the intro to a great album. Supernaut is a killer track.

You can’t argue this album made lots of people rich, and so epic in one way. But essential?

Guessing they put ska on the map but not great music.

Good choice - Tricky is his prime!

Their sound is like a warm hug. So good.

You either love or hate Morrissey...and I hate him. Hate is a strong word so I will just say I have never liked his whining sound.

Definitely deserves a place on this list. Grunge before grunge existed.

Meh

Another love 'em or hate 'em situation. Not my cup of tea

Strong opinion but this does not belong on this list

Sure, influential - let's go with that.

Somebody really needs to explain or justify why this album is on this list. This is why 1001 is really too many albums to consider which leaves the door open for "just okay" albums to get in.

Now we're talking. Definitely should be on this list.

Who dis? Never head of this band or album, and I would like to think I know "influential" things in music given my education and background. And after listen to the album, I still don't see it.

They have better songs. But the lead singer is cancelled now, right?

It created enough intrigue that I had to come back to it and listen to it a 2nd and 3rd time.

Thanks for turning me onto this album. I don't think I would have listened to this - Bowie's newer stuff - but it was good.

This definitely deserves to be on the list.

Agree to disagree, but this one is lame

Can I give this 6 stars?!?

What an album - Lauryn, Wyclef, and Forte were creative supergeniuses!

Just okay

Very distinctive sound, gets repetitive though

No brainer

Pretty, pretty good

Yep, definitely a good album.

Who's great, and live recordings have their charm.

Damn fine album. Kinda forgot how incredible they were.

Sure, probably worth listening to before I die.

Classic Peter Gabriel - can't argue with this.

Really good sound!

Maybe if I was on speed, I would like this.

Yawn

Issac Hayes for 18 minutes - okay.

I could have died and not listened to this album.

Not trending up lately - another blase choice

Decent choice

Amazing

Amazing too

Wonderful

He screams a lot. But I love the Deal sisters. So, I approve.

I appreciate the revisit to this band! Solid sonic experience!

Never heard of this guy so thanks for the introduction. Not my cup of tea, but still a worthy listen.

Damn, can she sing!

Great stuff

OMG. I already loved Count Basie but never heard this album before!

Almost 2 hours I wish I could get back.

Well, you can't argue with Prince. A bit more shrieking than I want in some of my songs, though.

That twang is an acquired taste. I can only take so much.

Another that I didn't need to hear before I died.

No thank you

Magnificent!

Good if you're into that kind of thing

Historic, legendary!

This is a no-brainer - wholeheartedly agree!

Great album!

Don't like, but gotta respect!

I am angered by this choice.

Classic Willie

Pretty much their greatest hits, but it's an album.

This deserves at least 7 stars!

Didn't I hear this already? Oh yeah, at Folsom Prison!

Better than I thought it would be

Great energy - very solid modern rock album.

Love Ozomatli, but hadn't heard this album before. Great fusion of sound styles.

Hadn’t listened to the whole double album before. Lots of creativity, but probably could have been trimmed to just one album

Yuck

Beyond words!

No thank you - you really have to like this prog/classic rock sound to endure some of these 8 minute songs

Probably White Stripes at their pinnacle.

Their instrumental stuff is best.

Great choice

Wonderful discovery

A fine hip-hop album

I feel like I should like this more, but I don't.

Holy shit, fabulous live recording - really captures the power of the blues channeled through B.B.

Amazing!

Pretty awesome and still stands up

Great energy - not my thing, but I can appreciate

Pretty great!

Probably pretty great when it first came out. But afro-pop has come a long way and this album sound bland in comparison.

Meh

They get a lot better after this album, but the roots of their sound start to emerge in this album. Love all the samples!

Never got behind Steely Dan - not for me.

Did not need to hear this before I died.

Pretty rad!

What energy!

I can't argue - this is a timeless album

No. No, this doesn't need to be on the list.

Decent album - a bit of head banging rock combined with white guy funk

Yawn

I appreciate learning more about them besides "Come On Eileen!"

There are definitely 5+ star songs on this album which distort the grading scale...but, as a whole, it's lacking. His voice is both angelic and annoying at the same time. And he died way too young and this is all we really got from him, so that makes it precious as well.

Solid.

Pretty great!

Great voice - but not for me

Love his vibe but will choose Pink Moon way more than this one

Not much to say - neither amazing or bad. Good energy. Maybe great when it first came up but unremarkable now.

Yuck

Nice selection

Superb!

Sure okay

No thanks

Pretty great!

This is garbage but it's French so it's seems artsy.

Can I give this negative stars? Kanye is an antisemitic whack job.

Amaze balls!

Me like

Meh - metal monotony

Well-deserved addition to this list!

I mean you're not wrong, but I guess I have limits to how much I like Billy Joel.

Prog rock - prog-ably not for me.

Superb

Rap metal - there's a first time for everything but we have moved on. And so this feels tepid now.

Yep

I am sure someone likes this.

Sonically repetitive, but nonetheless a good groove

Pretty great - I could listen to his voice for a long while
