So much fun - maybe just a tad long

Haunting and weird and so interesting

Interplay of Bittan piano and Clemons on sax elevates this - his first classic

Bangers, but bloody hell cheer the eff up

Incredible how bad this is

Country tinged pop with powerfully interesting chord progressions and big choruses - what's not to like

Hmm! A nice big thick slice of thin lizzy.

A con job to call this live; and tbh, their greatest hits would be better - some inclusions here were bettered with the release of Black Rose. Great fun

Strange choice - I'd have thought Revolution Would Not Be Televised or either of his first two studio efforts would've been a more prescient pick. I think this is a bit wonky

I didn't hate it, but it neither spoke to me or entertained me

Every track is full of ideas and talent - is a little challenging to be a perfect record

Middle of the road and largely dull - loses points for I Shot the Sheriff

Haunting and jazzy and folky

A smooth fusion of girl group r&b and hip hop with decent but perhaps mixed results - not for me, save for If I Was Your Girlfriend (best Prince cover outside of Sinead O'Connor)

The bri'ish Dan

Shakey being peaceful - nice!

An incredible live record - but - with most of its tracks covered between Machine Head and In Rock - it begs the question, if you had to include a third Deep Purple album - why not Fireball? And if you've got the best songs here from those two records - why include the studio albums at all?

No expensive shit on the list? Worldie nonetheless

An incredible bleak experiment.

The A Side is genuinely incredible and the final four tracks are blooming horrible

The vocals are so irritating and cringeworthy; the fusion aspects sound so insincere

Tides was beautiful, there's a small instrumental section of Homelands that was also gorgeous
