I had almost completely forgotten about "Talkin' Bout a Revolution", "Fast Car" and "Baby Can I Hold You". Tracy Chapman has a great voice. The music is great, even if I don't particularly like conceptual folk/roots rock. All in all, an album that I liked very much, that I heard in its entirety for the first time in this project and that I want to hear again.
4/5

I've never heard of the album or the project. But it's a lot of fun. That's exactly the kind of thing I do with One Album a Day.
4/5

I like electronic music. I like Klaus Schulze, the pioneer in the sector. Or Kraftwerk, with a slightly different direction. I like trance or a bit of techno in between. I also like Philip Glass and minimalist music. But this album is boring. I'd rather listen to cars driving on a wet road, as I'm currently doing. That's more exciting. What did someone write in the comments? The discovery of elevator music? Maybe the album isn't a discovery, but it could be the definition of this.

I remember classical pop music from the early eighties. If I remember correctly, I already found it boring back then. That hasn't changed to this day. I'm not wasting my time listening to it again.
1/5

I knew Thin Lizzy by name, but I don't seem to have heard anything active from them. The album is great. And long. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to listen to it in full. What I did hear was fun. I'll certainly catch up on the rest.

That's reggae! Very cool. A great album. I've never listened to it in full before. Now I remember why I actually like reggae. Peter Tosh's album from this series didn't convince me. But this album is great. I find it remarkable that the first 10 tracks only make up about half of the album. The last 2 12" tracks are great. The long version of Jamming in particular already has clear DUB elements, which I really like.
4/5

My goodness, what a boring record. I played 3 tracks, tried to skip the boring intro, only to find that it remained so boring.

This is not my favorite Peppers album. I only got to know the band in 1999 with Californication and was enthusiastic about their music. The earlier stuff and this album are a bit unwieldy for me. Maybe it's also because of the white hip hop parts, which I usually can't do much with. There are also some great tracks on the album. I can listen to Under The Bridge in particular over and over again.
4/5

I haven't heard anything from Peter Frampton for a long time. I don't particularly like his music either. A few songs aren't bad though. It was nice to hear "Baby, I Love Your Way" again. But it also sounds very flat in the recording. Maybe I'm used to a larger sound volume by now or maybe it was just normal at the time to achieve a rather thin sound in live recordings. But that wasn't the case with other bands.
3/5

I've never heard of the Beta Band. I really like the music. I think I'll listen to it more often.
4/5

I hadn't heard of Todd Rundgren before. Apparently I hadn't missed anything either. I already found the first and apparently best-known track "I saw the light" pretty boring. I was bored listening to three more tracks and then skipped straight to "Hello it's me", which - surprise surprise - I also found boring. Conclusion, a boring album. At least it didn't get on my nerves.
2/5

Even though there are many versions of the same songs on the album, which made it so long, it was a lot of fun. It's a great album.
5/5

I listened to the first two tracks on the album. There were interesting melodies in them, but it became too African for me. I therefore stopped listening further.
2/5

When I was young, I often listened to Dazzle Ship, the successor to this album, and was thrilled. Much of this album reminded me of it. I only knew Joan of Arc from earlier times. Overall, I really liked the album.
I should add OMD to my music feed more often.
5/5

A very nice album. I was familiar with the top hits It's The End Of The World and The One I Loved. I don't think I've heard the rest of the album yet. I quite liked it. But it probably won't be on my playlist very often.
3/5

There were some very refreshing mixes on the album. Some tracks rather alienated me. It was interesting to listen to this album. It probably won't happen again so soon.
3/5

I didn't particularly like the album. I thought Breakdown was the best. I couldn't do much with American Girl. I listened to the whole album and the best thing I can say about it is that it didn't bother me.
3/5

I couldn't remember Pretty in Pink at all, although I also listened to Talk Talk Talk in the 80s. Overall, the album didn't particularly impress me, but it didn't bother me either.
3/5

I'm quickly done with that again today. Hip hop is not music. I listened to the album briefly, played 3 tracks and was immediately satisfied. That was all I needed. It's not my genre.
1/5

I was looking forward to Iron Butterfly. In particular, I had fond memories of the eponymous piece In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Although an American band, much of the music reminded me of the then reviled Krautrock, which was truly revolutionary.
Unfortunately, Iron Butterfly could not fulfill my expectations. It was quite interesting to listen to the album. But it won't happen again so soon.
