Africa Brasil
Jorge Ben JorLoved the melodies and production on this one, but overall this kind of music is kinda unsettling for me for some reason

There are some redeeming qualities in few songs... But still not enough to rate it 2. I've got so bored :( I Don't know why people call it garage rock or blues rock. It's so bland and the album lasts forever
I only heared couple of songs from The Kinks before. I like this. It's for albums like this one I have entered this challenge. This is a good stuff.
Some songs are good, but production is definitely not my cup of tea. Alanis's voice is fine.
Easy 5. Begining of heavy music, great sound, great songwriting, great musicianship. Loved it since I was 10 y.o. and will love forever. It's where started for me in music and all this years after I love to get back there. R.I.P. Ozzy It's not on this list, but if you were not familiar with Sabbath before and liked it, check Sabotage (1975), best Sabbath album in my opinion.
First time listening to Bowie album in full. Some moments I kinda liked, but I still don't know what people find in him? Like not in an offensive way, but I can't figure why his music appeals to so many people. Well, I hope other albums will give me the answer. This one has it's moments, but sometimes I got bored by a lot of repetitions. Sorry, David, only 3 so far, though I had bigger expectations.
Probably a duck syndrome, but I always felt weird relistining this album, because it doesn't works for me without movie... A lot of great songs, but short throwaways and reprises make the listening less enjoyable for me. Still a lot of great stuff and good concept and surely one of the albums you must hear before you die, but movie is even more essential
Yay! Heared some Roxy Music (Stranded was my guilty pleasure in my gatekeeping teenage years), but this one felt even better. This one got me excited from the first song and kept me entertained till the end of the album. I will definitely relisten to this again (actually already did). Second great discovery from this project so far.
I heared the name Pogues, but never heared a note from this band before... Haven't heared much of Celtic Punk either, so I didn't know what to expect. And I liked it more than I would expect it. I haven't heared much punk or even rock here, though. This music is so joyful. So much rooted in folk, but still quiet modern. It has so much of NATURAL APPEAL, without even trying to get it. Like, you can put this music to people any age, any social status, etc, and I believe that these melodies and sounds will make them joyful. The arragements are great, but even more of this words are about Shane MacGowan (R.I.P.). He sounds like a rough drunkard, but with so much appeal, that I believe I finally found music that no one will be annoyed by. It just sounds so happy, without being sugary or fake in any way. I don't know how often I will go back to this record, and how much I will listen to that style of music per se, so I didn't know if I will rate it 4 or 5. But hey! What the heck. I will rate it 5, just because it's so charming and brings as much of a naked pure joy as only music can bring
Some good moments, but got a bit bored towards the end. Wanted to give it 4 stars at first...
Heared VU&N and WL/WH before, liked some of it, hated some of it. But it puzzled me. VU doing (mostly) soft pop rock album? I don't know how to feel about it. Songs are nice, but only What Goes On and Murder Mystery really caught my attention. In places it's more accessible than stuff from the first two albums, but in return, it's less rewarding
Heared title track since my teenage years and love it since then. Haven't heared the other tracks until today. They are all good, but title track is one of the best guitar moments in the whole history of music (and I'm not even big fan of the genre or band). Great stuff!
Not a big reggae fan, but this was funny and relaxing. Nice listening
Songs and Wille's voice are good, but too much a lack of variety for me...
Melodies and voice are nice, but extremely mellow for my taste
Sometime the choice of the albums on this list for me. It includes Ace Of Spades, but doesn't have Overkill and then there's live album which includes most important songs from both of these albums? Well, it's Motorhead, so I won't complain. One of the best heavy metal band in the world at their peak. Philthy's intro to Overkill sounds like WW3, Fast Eddie shreds even more than on the studio version of the songs and, well Lemmy is Lemmy. Legandary stuff. Turn it up!
This is probably the first pop album that I liked. I can sence a ton of psychodelia here, melodies and vocals are soothing. Favourite song: Little Bird. Loved the first part of album more
If we'll narrow it to "10 Albums You Must Listen Before You Die", this one still gets its spot in the list
Some moments (like Miles) are truely enjoyable, but repetetive sound collages and spoken words section are too much for me. This album has like 10 minutes of enjoyable music for me and the rest feels like too long intros and outros.
I joined this site because I wanted to broaden a horizons and challenge myself with stuff that I would never would listen to myself. Now it's third week and so far randomizer mostly feeds me my favourite heavy rock bands, that I would listen to anyway? Damn! :) Well, this is album is famous because of its synth-driven hits Jump and Panama, but the guitar-oriented stuff on this album is actually as good like on an earlier ones. I'd give it 4.5 if it was possible, just because while they are fun songs, Jump and Panama will never have this extra coolness factor as I'm The One, Somebody Get Me A Doctor or Romeo Delight. Still amazing stuff!
I only heared Bitches Brew before (15 years ago), and it annoyed the hell out of me. Either, this is so much better/different or I have became older smarter enough. I enjoyed all of this album. Sorry Miles, I don't hate you anymore
Some nice melodies and moments, but tooooo samey for my taste :(
Nah. Some good moments are good, but bad moments are all over the place and so annoying and neutralizing anything good about listening experience.
As much as I am a sucker for 70s rock, I never really liked Bad Company. I remember how I was excited in my early teens - I like Mott The Hoople, I love King Crimson and Free was (and is) one of my favourite bands since I was 12 years old. I REALLY wanted to love Bad Company, because I loved all the musicians. But I couldn't. Musicianship is fantastic, but songwriting is just boring. There's some nice hooks in Can't Get Enough and Movin' On and listening to it again today I realized that Seagull is great. But the rest of this stuff is just painfully unmemorable, when you think of what talented people are behind this one. This is probably the only one hard/blues rock from 70s that will get 3/5 from me. ALBUM THAT YOU SHOULD LISTEN BEFORE YOU DIE INSTEAD: Free - Tons Of Sobs (1968).
