It was a very gloomy day that I listened to this album, which really matched the overall mood. Obviously loved Everybody Wants to Rule the world and head over heels, and Shout as well. I hadn’t heard the last song on the album, Listen, before, but it was really good. I didn’t really care for the other ones, they were too 80s. The songs were all very long.
It was a good album, however the songs weren't my personal favourites. I really liked the last song on the album Wild is the Wind.
admittedly really good music but a little too depressing for my taste... I've heard You and Whose Army before in my American Protest Music class and really like that song, and I also liked Dollars and Cents and the Pyramid song but the rest I found very dreary and melancholic. I can see why people like Radiohead and would like to try to listen to some of their other albums.
I dont really like REM so didn't really like this album..
Really liked this album, it reminds me of high school. I can really hear the transition between the decades in this album. Its a fun relaxing album, reminds of warm weather.
Its the Beatles so obviously I loved it, but as one of their earlier albums it was very pop-py. I can see why they drastically changed their sound on later albums. Still very much enjoyed it though.
i was unfamiliar with CCR's game before listening to this album. It was truly amazing. It is such a defined rootsy and swampy sound, very interesting energy. I LOVED Graveyard Train, it was so unique; when it first came on I thought to myself that it had such a dark and groovy sound, and which I saw the title of the song I figured that it fit the song perfectly. I feel as though this album would be hard to listen to while sitting still, it makes me want to move. With this album I can see why people are such big fans of Creedence Clearwater Revival, it definitely makes me want to listen to their other stuff.
Not my favourite, which I was surprised by because I thought I'd like The Smashing Pumpkins. I've liked some of their other songs in the past. I knew Luna already and like that song, but didn't love the other ones.
Although its not necessarily my type of music, its undoubtetly such a great album. I like that the album starts off with Smells Like Teen Spirit, its such a great introduction to the album, as most albums start off quieter to introduce but this one sets the tone for the rest of the listening experience. Kurt Cobain is so so great :)
40 songs… sounds a lot like the Beatles but I didn’t listen to the whole album.
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would!
Loved this album!! I have never heard of the Go-Betweens but I really liked their music on this album.
I loved this album!! After listening to Amnesiac earlier this month I wasn’t sure what to expect because I didn’t love that album but I really enjoyed this one. I already was familiar with a few of the songs on this one. I liked that there was some variety in the songs on this album. I’m very surprised with The Tourist, I loved that song a lot even though I typically don’t enjoy slower songs, however Thom Yorkes voice is just so beautiful it really made me like it.
Obviously super familiar with this album, I LOVE sympathy for the devil, however, I had never heard the other songs on this album (every song aside from Street FIghting Man and Prodigal Son). I know the Rolling Stones are English but aside from Mick Jaggers voice, there sound, especially on this album, is filled with soul and reminds me of the south. I didn't realize this album was so blue-sy I was somewhat surprised with how much I loved some of the songs on this album, like No Expectations. The sound of this album reminds me of some of the places I visited while in Nashville. I will say whenever Street Fighting Man comes on, I do usually skip it. I don't always favour Prodigal Son on its own, but in the context of it's album (listening to it all the way through it), I LOVE it. It fits in so well.
Had never heard of this album/song/band! Street Life (song) is so smooth and groovy. Not that I was around during this time, but I feel like it transports me to 1970s NYC. it's such a cool sound. The tune of My Lady reminds me of Baltimore by Nina Simone but more funky. I don't usually listen to jazz but I can definitely appreciate it, and this album is so groovy and fun to listen to.
Of course I loved this album. I love the kinks and have since high school, although I didn't realize Shangri-La (one of my favourite songs by them) was on this album! Some of the songs had a very beatles sound to them.
I was NOT expecting to like this album but was very pleasantly surprised! It was very girlypop meets alternative. I had never heard of Goldfrapp before but the sound of the songs on this album were very interesting and I enjoyed it a lot!
was already familiar with this album and I love a lot of the songs on it, many associated with a certain time in my life. I love the dreamy sound of the songs, and I think it's fun to try and guess what they are saying haha.
