Wow! That was disappointing. I liked the Kinks but never listened to an album until now. Apart from Waterloo Sunset the songs seem very flat and the overall quite boring. The Jam's cover of David Watts blows the original out of the water. I'll check out other Kinks albums but this one is a hard no.

I'm not into Country but this was a surprise. Short songs flowing into each other to tell the story. A good Sunday morning listen with a coffee.

I'm a fan of Nick Drake and this album is great. It's often touted as being a definitive album, but Five Leaves Left and Bryter Later are better albums (IMO).

Four great tracks but the rest is just filler unfortunately. No doubt Prince was incredibly talented but for me, apart from Purple Rain, his albums fall.

Once you've heard the debut album, which I really liked, that's all you need with the XX. Just more of the same with 'I See You'.

Interesting country sound. Obviously an inspiration for Father John Misty.

None of the albums on the list so far made me go "I must listen to that again" but this one did. Picking up the 50th anniversary release on my way home from work for the third listen.

North Country Boy and How High are the stand out songs here but the rest is all... a bit flat.
