Music for the Masses
Depeche ModeNot my thing. Never understood why these guys had success. Musically sound, but nope.

Bowie is whiny. Music is pretty good but not great.
Like the jazz influenced rock.
Average at best.

This reminds me why Bob Marley is a legend. A great blend of revolutionary messaging with great grooves. There is even a teasing live song! The only complaint I have of reggae is the drum line and piano tend to be the same from song to song. I could listen to this all day.
This is without a doubt a most forgettable album.
Tough listen. Not much of a vocalist, very dark. Not my vibe.
Great album. These songs define the 80s for me. Rock with electronic enhancements.
As a guitar player I can appreciate the extremely high level of guitar mastery. The blend of hard riffs with driving solos is really hard to pull off well. As a bad singer I can also appreciate when someone shouldn’t be singing. This album is a perfect example of why metal had so many bad singers for so many years. Also lyrics were written by someone who played too many table top RPGs. If submitted to a high school poetry class he would fail. So cringy.
Easy listening, good jams and lyrics. Not really my thing but I get it.
Not my thing. It could be that I don’t understand the lyrics, but the music with the lyrics appears to be a joke within a joke.
This album is why we don't let people use synths anymore. Cars is an all-time classic, so I can give him some credit for that, but an entire album is tough to enjoy.
ABBA was better in their earlier albums but this is still good. Slipping through my fingers and When all is said and Done are great tracks.
Not my thing.
Incredible album that takes me right back to my freshman year in college. I understand why some may find this to be lacking, as many of the songs are over-driven. Not all songs on this album are great (some are actually bad), but the overall musicality is very strong, the lyrics (particularly for the time) are well written. This is a defining album of grunge rock with, in my opinion, Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten rounding out the big three.
Dance music, fine in the club but not much.
Amazing vocals! The album is dripping with hippie goo, but it is clear why this was such a great launch pad for the M&Ps.
Dear lord this is a great album. How did I not find this earlier in life.
90's R&B...ish. The vocals, as expected, are amazing. She is extremely gifted, just not my thing. The vote is for the quality of the vocals and her range.
Brass in Pocket...classic. Unfortunately I'm not a huge fan and the rest of the album isn't for me. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a lot of talent.
Not bad...average.
Solid 3
Good live album, which isn't common. James Brown is a legend for a reason.
Nope
Not for me.
Fine..not sure why this is on the list.
