I'd never gotten into this album in depth before, at least not that I remember. I was a late convert to Siouxsie - probably from some teen movie soundtrack. Anyway, first 3 tracks are super solid but 'Sin In My Heart' speaks to me on another level - it's short but has this driving rage that I love (and obviously is heard throughout the album). The album slaps, as the kids say.

Not a Ye fan per se, but I found this album very listenable. I’ll have to get over my dislike of him and open up to more of his music.

This came to me after I’d already been introduced to the English Beat/ the Beat and FYC. Still formative for my high school era music education.

Garage Americana. If not the best debut album, certainly top 3. I’ll let you know the others if/when they generate

I finally got around to seeing these guys in my twenties while they were touring this album with Suicidal Tendencies and Dokken. Seemed like they’d been touring this forever by then, but it was still damn good!

Opening with Natural Mystic, you know you’re in for a deep, soulful ride. For me, from Heathen on, it’s all peak Marley.

It’s great but very of its time. Doesn’t hit like it did in the nineties unfortunately.

That was fun. Never listened to a full album of Buck Owens. My bad!

Love The White Stripes but never really listened with a critical ear. Powerful in its simplicity even though we’re beyond the earlier rawness at this point.

It’s great but there’s a bit of redundancy to it if you’re excluding the hits

A little to proggy for the current me but I hear seeds of greatness

A sophomore album that defined the band’s style. Raw and rocking with very obvious lifts from the greats of the delta blues

What more can be said? Perfectly engineered. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, these dudes knew what the fuck they were doing and what they wanted to achieve.

Was never a New Order fan but I gave it a proper listen. Still not a fan but I get it, I think.

Still holds up well. A lot of the social issues are still here and getting worse unfortunately.

Making psychedelic grunge metal as poppy as possible, this album is a favorite of my mid-twenties, and I still love it today.

The beginning of my favorite (uh, everyone’s?) Stones era. Salt of the Earth - ‘nuff said!

I needed to be high to truly enjoy this, but I get where it’s coming from.

Another one I never listened to in full. Is it possible to make grunge grungier? These guys did that here with a garage aesthetic that really shines through all that fuzz

That sure sounded like a fun time!

I caught on to this one a couple of years after its release, but just in time to help me process what 2016 wrought on this country and my state of mind. Perfectly chill

I could have sworn Clocks came out earlier than this. I’m not a huge Coldplay fan overall, but I did (and still do) love this album. There is an urgency here that is lacking on much of their other output.

Maybe my rating is nostalgic because I just saw them, but I got fueled by anger yesterday from the news, so maybe that’s why it hit well too.

The beginning of my favorite (uh, everyone’s?) Stones era. Knowing the albums coming after brings a deeper appreciation. Salt of the Earth - ‘nuff said!

I remember listening to the Beach Boys on AM radio with Mom while headed to the beach on summer weekends. It wasn't ever anything from this album as far as I remember. I was in my late teens by the time I got turned on to this and probably my twenties until I understood and appreciated it. Every listen brings some new undiscovered texture.

It might be their most accessible album, even with ‘the doodoo chasers’ appealing to the teenage boy in me, but there is another, earlier album I hold in higher regard. Hint: the title track is on the EP that originally came with this album

Demon Days is my jam. This one, not so much

This album starts off so strong with those first 3 songs and then sort of coasts into redundancy.

Very of its time and a bit boring.

Wow. That was a psychedelic lounge experience! Loved it. Nice change and something new to me.

His falsetto grates on me but the beats and melodies are good

My kind of music. Funky, jamming rock and African rhythm, horns, and Ginger Baker on Drums! What more could you ask for?

Definitely not my thing, but the woman has serious pipes. Hitting a bunch of sub-genres under a pop flag, it's evocative of Janet Jackson to my ears and contains the only song of Aguilera's I've listened to regularly - 'Beautiful'. It kinda is.

Oh boy, another artist I discovered way too late for my own damn good. This one contains my favorite song of Prine's - 'Illegal Smile'. That's right, I love this more than 'Angel from Montgomery' because while "it takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry". And sure, there are plenty of brutal (yet classic) songs here as Biggs points out, but we all need more laughter, these days, ya dig?

Dulcet tones from a golden age of pop, sprinkled with Motown. Big Chill vibes

I saw the movie when I was probably too young, but it started my life long love for The Who. This album is ground-breaking and it was at the top of my Who chart until I discovered and dug into Quadrophenia, which is apparently not part of this 1001 album list. I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!
