Mandolin wind is kinda nice, i dont get how maggie may was a big hit

3/5

Their vocal styles are so different yet their voices complement each other so much. Bare minimum instrumentation with the most being done with the voices, incredible. It also has California Dreaming and Cass Elliot is one of the biggest tragedies in music, what a voice and what a loss

5/5, 10/10, whatever rating system you use this is deserves the highest rating

I just couldn't, normally I like dance/electronic, but this was just impossible to cut through. One song fine, album of an hour not fine.

1/5

I'm sorry, but this country country just isn't for me. Didn't even realise that the autoplayer took over...

2/5, why is this on the list

Eh

Recorded in the church cool, really poetic

I liked the songs that came after on autoplay more

Nice tracks, good production, questionable lyrics

Fucked up person, 2/5

Fast, aggressive, Kurt Cobain probably got inspired by it

This is how I imagine punk rock sounds like

Cool music to drive on Kyalami, vibes couldn’t understand a word but still vibes

Why are so many albums so bad...

Helter Skelter cover was cool

It was a 2/5 already, but frankie’s teardrop made me skip the rest

1/5

(After the intro) This must be the intro right ... right???

Yeah that wasn't just the intro ... my gosh

1/5, the jazz was nice but Tom Waits wasn't it

One of my favourite albums of all time. The aggressive intro of 15 Step that punches into your soul, the bit too catchy Bodysnatchers, the heavenly Nude, a song about weird fishes that's still good as fuck, All I Need is songs like All I Need, following three songs that are very pleasant for the ear, an amazing buildup with Jigsaw Falling into Place and a scenic outro that will probably be played on my funeral, Videotape. I'd also suggest listening to the second disk DIRECTLY after this, the outro of Videotape blends in perfectly into MK1

This is one for the good days, 5/5

The album art is simply beautiful, the booklet that comes with the CD is just simply too beautiful. I think the cover would've been even more perfect if they removed the text so we can appreciate the cover more. After Kid A my favourite Radiohead album (cover)

Spinning from The Beatles collection boxset that used to be from grandpa. It even is numbered, nr. 754642!

This album is chaotic, all over the place, but produces some peak Beatles. With the 3-4 exceptions (which can happen on a 30 song album), its perfection.

Best tracks: Back to the USSR, Dear Prudence, While my guitar gently weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Martha My Dear, Blackbird, Julia, I will, mother nature’s song, sexy sadie, yer blues, helter skelter, long long long, revolution (YES BOTH), honey pie, savoy truffle

Number Nine/5

Fuck MAGA, listened to Bad Bunny instead

-47/45

We all know why this is on the list. Not for its brilliant music or whatever, but for the fact that its the first album from the first BIG rockstar.

I'm not really a fan of it, thas a nice groovy vibe to it but deffo not an album album, Blue Suede Shoes is the big standout track, the rest would be found playing on the background.

3/5

Yesterday Unplugged, today Nevermind! Two of the easiest 5s I have given so far

https://youtu.be/EtapU5nI6G4?is=-twv-QGD87AXBDtk the fact that this sounds so good just shows how brilliant these three were.

Best tracks:
Smells Like Teen Spirit (duh), Come As You Are, Lithium, Something in the Way (and also Breed)

On 209, I was wondering when a Bob Dylan album would pop up. He has plenty on the list right? He is one of the artists that is considered by broader media as an exceptional artist, but I haven't really listened to his stuff before. The stuff that I did hear, was awesome. Only complete album that I listened to was the Blood on the Tracks-cd from my dad, that I really enjoyed. Anyways, I don't think this was the best introduction to Dylan I could've had. I will revisit it when I have listened to, idk, other albums from him. For now this is just disappointing and for that I'm giving it 1/5
