Interesting I've never heard of this. Very similar to Sgt Peppers, Lola and Tommy, but came before the latter 2. Seems to be the first ever rock opera. No songs stood out as big hits and vocals were hard to understand to follow the story. But I still really like this gritty late-60's brit art rock.

I like this, I've heard it before. Not quite as catchy as their next album (with Wonderwall) but has a lot of the same energy and same distorted sound.

I've heard this many times. I like the idea of U2 and this album, but have a hard time connecting fully into it. It just doesn't have the dark, bass heavy sound I love of other post-punk bands of the era. I do like the punchy snare sound across the record, and will get the openings to both Sunday Bloody Sunday and Refugee stuck in my head.

This rules. Great arrangements, beautiful voice. There is so much soul and energy. She is the queen for a reason. Beyond Respect as massive hit, I Never Loved A Man, Dr Feelgood and A Change is Gonna Come all stood out.

A classic, I have heard this many times. Rolling stone, Highway 61, Thin Man, and Desolation Row are all songs I can hear in my head. Its kind of hard to understand the importance of this at our current place in history since it was so influential on folk/rock/americana, but the vibes are great.

Kind of sleepy, but pretty arrangements. Seems like the sadness is part of the concept, cemented by the cool album cover. Great vibes, but I don't think I'll remember the songs individually

This was loud and dumb. I can get on board for that at certain times, but this really didn't catch me. The guitars are very proficient, but its all so bright and whiny even in its distortion. Seems like the most experimental thing of the band is their need to be provocateurs, but it reads more crass than challenging.

Interesting, but feels inessential. I liked the opening track and it was pleasant enough to listen to at work, but didn't stand out. Wobble's brit punk voice is a funny comparison to the world music.

Love this, one of my favorites. So much energy and angst. I've never found anything quite like it. What acoustic punk album has a marimba solo?

Interesting, mostly background music. Its well performed but isn't something I would actively listen to. Svefn-g-englar sounded familiar, but I can't place it. I might come back to this as some calming work music.

A favorite of mine. REM at the peak of their powers. Sad, political, driving. Many hits here but Nightswimming is such a special song.

Fun vibes, very sultry. I love these lush 60's pop arrangements. Everything is just very warm and cozy. Son of a Preacher Man a classic of course
