Apparently, I don't really get along with Siouxsie And The Banshees. I like the style of the music. But somehow it doesn't grab me. I listened to this album in its entirety as well. Nothing stuck in my memory and I have no desire to listen to the album again. 3/5

Yes, it's pretty awful country and folk rock. During the second song, I couldn't take it anymore and had already heard too much. Terrible. 1/5

It was unbearable. I never understood the hype surrounding Bruce Springsteen. I never particularly liked his music either. But this album is especially bad. I gave up during the third track. 1/5

I remembered the name 10cc from my youth. Without knowing exactly why, I associated positive memories with it. This album shows me that I probably didn't hear much from the band. Otherwise, the memories wouldn't have been so positive. Except for the first track, the music on this album got on my nerves. I don't even need to listen to it again. 2/5

Nick Cave makes wonderful and extraordinary music. I hadn't listened to him in a while and was glad to have this opportunity. I should listen to him more often. 5/5

Terrible. I only made it halfway through the third track before I had to stop listening. Folk and country at its worst. 1/5

The only track on this album that I liked was Hallelujah, possibly because I associate it with the brilliant film Shrek. I found the rest too saccharine, almost enough to give you toothache. I couldn't listen to the whole album. 2/5

I mostly liked the album. Towards the end, I found it a bit exhausting. However, none of the songs really stuck in my memory. 3/5

Eric Clapton may be a racist and an asshole. Nevertheless, this album is good. I enjoyed it, even though I won't listen to it anymore because of Eric's attitudes. There are plenty of other great musicians whose attitudes are more in line with my own. 4/5

I would never have come across this album without this project. The cover alone would have put me off. A great album, which I heard for the first time today. Rarely have I heard anything so funky. It's going into my collection. 5/5

Although I'm not into this genre at all, I thought this album might be a little different. It was a little different, but not much. I didn't listen to it all the way through. But at least I didn't turn it off right away. 2/5

During my youth Michael Jackson got on my nerves with his constant presence. He turned himself into an incredibly ridiculous caricature. This album came out before he really went downhill. Now that I've listened to it in its entirety for the first time, I was surprised at how good the songs still sounded. Even his later obligatory, constant squeaking when he grabbed his crotch wasn't there yet. I also prefer the cover version of Billy Jean by the German punk band The Bates to the original. Nevertheless, I must admit that my reservations about the music on this album were unfounded. 4/5

U2 have produced some very beautiful and groundbreaking pieces. However, I was never a big fan of the band. I feel the same way about this album. I quite like a few of the tracks. I couldn't care less about the rest. 3/5

As other reviewers have noted, this is excellent lift music. I had no idea that I couldn't live without it, and I very much doubt that I could. 2/5

Morrissey may be a difficult person, to put it at least a bit euphemistically. But he has a great voice and makes great music. You can hear that on this album. And although I liked it, I probably won't listen to it again anytime soon. Morrissey isn't really my cup of tea. 4/5

The second Joni Mitchell album on this list. As with the first album, this one got on my nerves right away. I listened to the first track of the album in its entirety and part of the second. I didn't want to waste any more time on it. The music is boring. I don't like the voice or the arrangements. 1/5

Phew, country and folk. Peaceful whispers of the worst kind. It reminds me of embarrassing scenes in the schoolyard from my youth. Back then, as a peace-loving greenhorn, you listened to Joan Baez. As a rocker, it was almost unbearable, but most of the pretty girls were in the movement. Now, as a silverback, older and -perhabs- wiser ;-) , I thought I could listen to it again and maybe enjoy it. But no, I couldn't even get through the first song. 1/5

PJ Harvey was mixed into my daily stream years ago. I've always really liked her music. This album is also pretty good. However, I've heard better music from her. Nevertheless, the album is an incentive to listen to more of PJ Harvey. 4/5

The album was quite interesting. However, the sound was too ethereal for me to really enjoy it. 3/5

I remember Siouxsie And The Banshees from the time when I was into gothic and dark wave. I listened to them once. It was okay, but I wasn't thrilled. The same goes for this album. Okay but not thrilling. I don't like Siouxsie's voice. It's a bit too shrill for me. I won't be listening to it again anytime soon. 3/5
