I don’t like his high-pitched voice or the simple little tunes. I can’t bring myself to listen to the whole album. Did it anyway. ‘Vienna’ is the best track.
Not my cup of tea
One of the finest albums I know. ‘What’s Going On’. Need I say more?
I don’t need to listen to it. I know it off by heart.
listened to the anniversary CD. I loved the Bowie Mix more than the others. The live recordings had loads of energy. They’re from a time before punk even existed. Now, after all the punk madness, they’re better to listen to than other punk bands. I can only play it when I’m home on my own, otherwise my wife walks out straight away. The Stooges had long since disappeared from my radar. It’s lovely to revisit this. Some of the songs are simply beautiful.
Just as AC/DC is far too heavy for my taste, this album by Beck is far too saccharine. I imagine that if I’d been a teenage girl, I’d have lost myself in the atmosphere the album creates. I can listen to it, mind you. It’s better than AC/DC, but this music isn’t really for me either. I thought ‘Paper Tiger’ was the best track.
I’m really trying my best to make sense of it, but I just can’t. Even my ears are protesting.
When I started playing the album, it cheered me up – what lovely music. To be honest, after five tracks I’d had enough. I still think it’s lovely music, but not for an entire album. My advice is to just play the first side of the LP and then switch to something else.
Madonna. Madonna is a guilty pleasure for me. Ever since *Crazy for You* and, of course, *Rain*. Brilliant. Back then, when the album came out, I couldn’t believe my ears. Innovative, different, and yet still Madonna. Not all the tracks are great, but that’s a problem many artists with good albums face.
A fantastic album. Everything she sings transports me to a different world, puts me in a different frame of mind. Her timing is on a par with Sinatra’s. All her albums belong on the ‘1000 Albums’ list.
Prince is a fantastic artist and an exceptionally talented guitarist. I love his funk. Many of his albums feature excellent tracks, but there isn’t a single one that I think is so good that it deserves a place in a top 1000 list—except that it would be inappropriate not to include him in such a compilation. I couldn’t say that this is his best album, but which one is?
