It's interesting listening to this album knowing how much friction there is now between the previous bandmates. Given the amount of bands that have had this happen, it makes you wonder if that contributes to these amazing albums. The combination of music and Morrisey's crooning made for some of the most memorable, timeless songs. My teenager and I both sing along to Bigmouth Strikes Again.
There's a reason I'm proud to own this on vinyl. It's hard to imagine an album with more empathy and compassion for the downtrodden. Johnny Cash's wit and charm are on full display in this recording.
This album introduced me to Wilco and I was blown away. It’s on continuous rotation in our house. It’s rare for me when a favorite album also has several of my favorite songs, but that’s the case here. Poor Places is among my top ten
This album is such a quintessential part of the early 70s. I don’t even think of Oye Como Va and Black Magic Woman being covers. I’ve always known them as Santana songs.
How have I never listened to this full album before? It has a lot of familiar songs but somehow I’ve never listened all the way through.
While it’s not my favorite Beastie Boys album it’s still fantastic and hints at how clever they really are despite being hidden behind a frat boy persona.
I never listened to Pavement back when they were popular, so I hold no particular nostalgia with them. I understand how influential they were though. Some of the songs are really experimental, which I liked.
I appreciate what they've done for music and that they are incredible musicians, but I'm not really into The Isley Brothers. I get why it is on the list though.
This album is fantastic. I've listened to in more than any other White Stripes album. Every song is amazing and fills me with joy.
I hadn’t listened to this before (I’d remember that cover) and liked it quite a bit. I love Pulp, but they owe a lot to Roxy Music.
TBH, this wasn't my thing. I get that he's talented, but, to me, it sounded like every other 90's R&B artist.
Really enjoyed this album. I hadn’t heard it before.
Bonnie Raitt and her albums in this era had such a huge influence on some of today’s megastars. I was fortunate to see her perform this year with Belinda Carlisle and I’m so happy I did.
This wasn't really for me. I didn't understand how it was different from other albums in this genre and I don't have a lot of knowledge of The Fall.
I enjoyed this and have definitely never heard it before.
It feels like by the time this album came out it was hard to do something new in jazz without going into fusion. Thankfully, it stays away from that but still feels fresh and different.
I’ve heard the singles off this album, of course, but never the whole album. It was really great. Coincidentally, Wishing Well played at the super market yesterday as well.
It's Dolly. She's one of the best songwriters ever.
Love this album so much. Always in the rotation.
Not my thing, but I get that they would have been majorly influential at the time.
What a wild ride! I really liked it. Can see how they impacted other bands I'm into.
It's hard to think of a band with a bigger impact on music in the 80s. Love this album, of course.
