Sheryl CrowEnjoyed this. Wish I’d been more aware of it at the time. A fascinating collection of songs.

I like the 'no cymbals' rule. Engaging, thoughtful, listenable in spite of being Peter Gabriel. The singles were the best thing about the album, though, which slightly disappointed. Low 4 star.
An absolute masterpiece. Nilsson’s voice is in top form.
Unfussy roots Americana. Prefer CSNY.
Well, I know this one. JD don't fascinate me as much as they do some people, but I do love their iciness and the way the instruments sound out-of-tune and yet aren't. Good dynamics and drama. An accidental masterpiece.
A masterpiece, Joni in transition. Touching, marvellous and at times laugh-out-loud funny. Thanks to Prince for turning me on to this album in the first place.
On the one hand, a document of its time - that time a band that sounded like Slade had been influenced by the Pistols suddenly burst onto programmes like The Word and demanded your attention. It's also a major offender in the Loudness Wars, as Oasis's output was recorded so compressed that it pinned your ears against the wall. But the songs. Oh, the songs. Cigarettes and Alcohol in particular. Cryptic lyrics, rock 'n' roll excess and noize, noize, noize.
Not my thing at all
An absolute gem, this. Why have I never heard of it until today?
"Ya don't fuck abaht wi' Jack White" Jason Williamson, Sleaford Mods The White Stripes hit their high-water mark with this gorgeous 21st century refinement of garage rock. From the stadium-filling riffmonster that is "Seven Nation Army" to the whimsy of "It's True That We Love One Another", the album doesn't hit a bum note. An absolute classic.
A game changer. Admittedly one that spawned OMD, but let's gloss over that. I was fascinated by Kraftwerk as a child, and the notion that songs didn't have to be about humans, or, indeed, emotion. Love this album so much.
Perfect.
Great ensemble album, with the interplay between the band contributing to an incredible final product.
Absolutely stunning songwriting underpinned by Kenney Jones' perfect drumming. A great band for a great songwriter.
If this has been by any other band than the Stones, it would have passed without notice.
