A middle of the pack talking heads album is still better than most bands best album.

Easy 4. Amazing man amazing musician. Loaded with hits and also the song (Darlin’ Nikki) that made Tipper Gore mad and led to the explicit stickers.

I was between a 3 and a 4 so I rounded up. It’s ok. Very bloated with lots of fluff but there are real high points too.

I’m a Cure fan. I know this one is well loved by most fans, but for me it is average in their discography. Still good though.

A good one today. Of course I love Sam. He’s one of the all time great voices and one that was cut too short. I know the studio recordings, but never heard the live stuff, but this is excellent too.

Oh, the infamous Dan. Very divisive it’s seems. I’ve never done a deep dive, but very familiar with the radio plays and it never really grabbed my attention. But, this project is forcing me to do deeper dives, which is why I love it. Very good and considering buying on vinyl!

Phenomenal album of course. I bought it the day it came out as a pay-what-you-want fee. I paid $9 and it was worth way more.

Best of the “early” Beatles. All songs written by John and Paul and all excellent!

Not bad, but very dated in a not so flattering way. Can’t take away from Neneh’s voice though.

One of the last incredible U2 albums. Experimental, but accessible. Huge tour with this one. Nearly essential

As a Gen Xer I am famous and truly appreciate this band an album. The cornerstone of a lot of music I love.

Perfect example of why I participate. Not an album I’d wake up one morning and choose, but it was nice. We all know the big hits, but the whole album is well done. George is a good writer and a great vocalist. RIP George.

It’s a meh for me. Very dated to the time period. There are some flashes of brilliance, but it’s just monotonous to me.

This album is truly a 4.5 for me. It’s an amazing double album. One of Elton’s finest. So many styles.

I can see the vocals are good and some of the lyrics too, but many of the lyrics are very cringey. The music is nice, but nothing amazing.

Saw the perform on late night tv and immediately headed to buy this cd. It’s been huge in my life since. Absolutely 5 stars for me. Still a regular in my rotation.

Stone cold classic top to bottom. Stands with Bob’s 60s classics.
