A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Popular Reviews

Never giving the elevator the aux again

If you enjoy listening to the same song for 48 minutes then this album is for you!

Amazing, Classic Bowie. It’s like an up tempo Blackstar

Solid, perfect on a cold winter morning

If you enjoy listening to the same song for 48 minutes then this album is for you!

“I heard the The Smiths before you”

Some great, but mostly meh

Somewhere between The Cure and Pixies and my experience of this album is entirely coloured by hearing the others before this.

This had so much promise until the 2nd half Monty Python’athon

After 5 minutes his voice is so grating

Sublime

Vibes

The final boss of mid discographies

Almost certainly influential at the time but averages out at the lower end for Hip Hop these days

There’s a truly brilliant album here somewhere but the entire project feels bloated

Certainly one to revisit but impressed with what I heard

Criminally underrated, the precursor band to an entire movement

Should really be 4.5* if some of the highs were higher it would be 5*

23 Skidoo!

What a terrible day to have ears.

This is the result of two musical geniuses, Logic Pro and far too many yes men

Classic

Discount Stone Roses

Their Magnum Opus

One of the most important albums of all time. This album is so good that Kendrick is still doing victory laps over ten years later!

Difficult to rate honestly, I enjoyed it but it will need time to grow on me after one listen

Gimme shelter and Monkey man are incredible but the deep cuts on this are so disappointing. Also as a side note adding a children’s choir to a rock song will always make it infinitely worse, I’m looking at you You can’t always get what you want. See also: War is over and Schools out.

It may well have been seminal but it’s still a drum machine loop for over 1 1/2 hours. Drum n Bass is not bad but it’s clearly not best enjoyed in album format.

I for one would’ve preferred Something Else by The Kinks

Finally something interesting to listen to! Worthy of the list, but not a masterpiece.

I can’t believe it’s not Björk

His best

One of the Neil Young albums of all time

Never giving the elevator the aux again

I like Björk but I got no enjoyment from this one, I think it actively made me anxious. Challenging the listener does not always equal good

Yer Da unironically listens to Suede

I can’t believe this guy was ever compared to Bob Dylan, I can understand why he got so mad about it now.

I’m getting bored of albums on this list where there’s one good recognisable song and all the deep cuts are garbage

Dog Leap Stairs mentioned

Why is Blur’s entire discography on this list

Try confirmed!

Sauce-less Elliott Smith

Anarchy in the UK is coming sometime maybe….

Your call may be recording for training and monitoring purposes

Could be a 4 in time

The definition of rocks and diamonds

Listening to this during my E-Learning at work made it a spiritual experience

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

Lovely little classic

Perfectly serviceable but not worthy of the list

Absolutely crackers

Kooks is elite

This film should be played loud

Does not butter my parsnips if I’m being honest

Cool 4 cats

The audio equivalent of Stockholm syndrome by frontal lobotomy

Ghost cookies
