MOTR jazzy funk band from the 70s.

Not what I'd class as particularly original but inoffensive.

Actually quite liked it. Some good ideas and liked the way the music had an equal footing to the rapping.

Pleasant but really nothing special.

How it's classed as one of the best ever is beyond me.

I have to say at the time I wasn't a fan of PIL but listening to this now 35 years later it's really good.

Drawing on a lot of stuff that had already been going on- experimental, Throbbing Gristle and other early Industrial music it's actually quite enjoyable.

Lydon is a genius that much is true now. At the time he wasn't appreciated for what he was doing.

I know this is supposed to be one of the greatest albums of all time but it sounds like another mid-60's Psychedelic rock album to me.

Not bad but then compared to the Beatles or Pink Floyd it's average.

It's uncannily quite good.

No really! Whatever happened to this band?

This is a no-brainer.

So choc-full of 80's goodness and hits it's no wonder it's a solid 5*****

Another newish band I've got into recently. It takes me a while to catch-up.

Offbeat and Oddball band with kookie hits.

A good listen.

Weird to say I like this band although for the life of me I don't know why.

The tracks are quite odd it's true but there's nothing hugely individual from one track to the next.

Strange.

I'm sorry but this is generic and devoid of originality. Patsy Cline C&W wannabe (even used Patsy's producer).

I prefer her later stuff.

I have to say this is more like it!

A great album choc-full of weirdness and ideas.

I never quite got this many-moons ago but i'm liking it now.

Must be an age thing?

I already had one of the tracks (In the Neighbourhood) and the other tracks sort of slid down pleasantly.

I like this sort of plinky-plonk swampy

I like this kind of rap- groovy and underplayed.

Reminds me of DOOOOM!

A Masterpiece in experimental Krautrock. Put this on a permanent loop all day.

My mind has expanded since I listened to this btw.

A truly iconic cover and an album chock full of famous numbers (which have been covered by countless others).

It has to be 5*****. It's so schmaltzy but you can't deny it's power to captivate you fo good or bad.

It's a good listen - I can see where Nirvana and other got their sound from.

Not that it's the best thing since sliced bread but I liked the vibe.

Total integrity.

Why do some people like Marmite and hate Bovril? Who can say?

I guess it's upbringing or personal taste that makes some like Rap and other hate it.

Glad to say I do 'get this'. It's not awe inspiring or unique. Just pleasant and introspective.

Iconic cover - looking back now now over 30 years ago the sound was part of the whole time.

Still good to listen to now though.

A voice like syrup. Sublime and faultless.

Even the 2 star review recognise this? I can understand how some don't like Live albums or Jazz but I feel this transcends all these labels.

It's more lie a historical document- outside of the norms of 'albums' but I'm glad they chose to record this for posterity.

One of my favourite bands although we're really talking about Mark Hollis.

He may have tried to disown his poppy roots but they were a band that transcended the 80s.

Deep and meditative although Spirit of Eden (which doesn't make it on this chart) is one of the greatest albums ever made.

This however is still a triumph.
