Wild Is The Wind
Nina SimoneSimone has an extreme range vocally. Powerful and sweet at various times. Not an album to put on while doing something else.

Great play among the genres, with some downright groovy tracks and thoughtful. I just don't like Apple's singing voice.
Extremely nostalgic and cathartic listen. I haven't listened through the whole album, just some of the well known tracks (namely, the first three). But damn, this is emblematic of an album you must hear before you die. Atmospheric instrumentation with Bono's signature, powerful singing.
Very joyful. Emblematic of the rockabilly era.
A bit boring
Just really not my style. My friends all love Bruce and I was hoping to, too. What Bruce lacks in singing ability he makes up in enthusiasm! I was hoping for some unique instrumentation here and there. What's interesting is that some songs remind me of the Clash albums. The grit and edge are strong.
Fun, weird.
I love a 15 min album. You can tell these shows were fucking crazy live. A little redundant to listen to in album form.
I was dreading a metal album but this is actually pretty groovy. Great guitar licks, bass playing and drumming.
God I love Steely Dan. This was easy listening, fun and funky. Nothing extraordinary.
THRILLED TO SEE THIS TODAY DROP IN MY INBOX. Great guitar links, subversive lyrics.
Not sure what the deal is with the out-of-tune singing. Acoustic guitar offers a classic 90s atmosphere. Ultimately DNF.
Super groovy but gets repetitive. I love this type of irreverent house music.
Very boring. Hard not to compare to Joshua Tree, which was so moving.
The inclusion of this album makes me wonder why we're messing around with some of the other albums on this list. One of the best of all time. Why am I listening to some tired ass music from the 80s and 90s? Who put that there? This is what we should be listening to. Lyrical genius: funny, introspective, and groovy to boot.
I've never sat and listened through this whole album. What a delicious exercise in nostalgia. I love the Killers, and the hits on this album still hit! I did find myself skipping through the tracks I didn't know already. Brandon Flowers has a habit of monotone singing. Great drumming and guitar licks. As a thirty-something, I do think I've listened to Mr. Brightside enough times at weddings. Made it laughable to listen to it in this capacity.
A little boring. Others have called it "bar music" which I agree. Don't mind it. Probably won't choose to listen to it again.
Powerful singing and key slinging. I'd not sat and listened to Tori Amos before but she is a force!
Unfortunately very groovy with cutting lyrics. Coming a week after I listened to a Kendrick album, you don't have to look up the lyrics to hear what Eminem says or understand what he means. He is funny, horrifying and to the point.
A couple songs on here I totally love, namely Sunday Bloody Sunday. A lot of the tracks I skipped through though.
I understand the cultural impact this group has had on music and the scene. I did find myself skipping through many of the numbers (probably because I was playing catch up from previous days!) The sound reminds me of playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater on PS2. Great, gritty sound. Some of the tracks I had a hard time sitting a listening to-too repetitive or the spoken interlude.
I love some tracks on this one and have loved EC for years. Pump It Up is groovy and punky. I don't love Costello's singing voice and some of the tracks you feel like you're waiting for t hem to be over. I do find the lyrics super catchy, and often find myself saying "I don't want to go to Chelsea!" to myself.
Pleasant listening. Groovy, with lots of blues and folk influence. Some songs I skipped if Mick's singing was in no consequences territory.
Wow listening to his singing voice is a lot. But the sound and diction make his beautiful lyrics stand front and center. I like the sparse and jazzy instrumentation that set Cohen up.
