I was a few albums behind so just caught up with a few of the greatest albums ever made.

This was like a slap in the face with a wet fish.

It's awful.

Soundgarden kind of passed me by but listening to it now there's an integrity to their sound.

Chris Cornell was a great singer. Such power.

So cheesy, so poppy, so 80's but......

...how to resist something so undeniably big in hits and swagger?

This is terrific.

I'm not really a big lover of them and haven't heard of any of the main album tracks but this is a distinct powerful sound unlike any other.

I like the sentiment and for the reason it's a high score from me.

However it isn't terribly original and the lyrics are a bit lame and repetitive but if that's what's needed to get through I guess the means justifies the end.

This has got great New Wave vibes - I love this era.

I mean the 80s had bands like this without the integrity.

It's quirky and inventive with a sense of fun.

I've never really taken to Gram but listening to this today it's pretty good to listen to- progressive Country I'd say.

Musically diverse and well produced it holds your attention. Emmylou Harris is a major part in this and I'm an instant fan.

Shame he died so young.

I do like this band and there are a couple of great tracks on this album but let's face it they are another in the long line of medium-good British bands that anger the American users who can't get over the fact our music is better ;-)

For that reason it's a solid ***** from me Matthew..

Pretty powerful and a seminal album in the progression of the genre.

This is New York underground rock and paved the way for many women performers to come.

Ambient soundscapes meet drum and bass.

It's good background/chilling music.

This is terrific.

Of course I remember "This Town Ain't..." on the radio as a kid but reading the lyrics in Spotify they are a riot: "Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As 20 cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do"

They were an amazing pair on Top of the Pops too. Once seen and never forgotten.

The rest of the album is worth listening to - quite ahead of it's time I think. Roxy Music meets 10cc with a sense of fun.

Certainly different.

mix of a lot of things and that makes it good.

Fun and inventive.

Quite enjoyed this - a bit of a few different genres mixed in here- boogie woogie even!

Laid back and good to listen to- apart from the biggie the other tracks are unknown to me.

I have trouble distinguishing these guys apart (not Neil Young though as he's unique) but these songs are really good to listen to.

Not absolutely brilliant but really soulful and meaningful.

Some hits on here too so that's even better.

Strange strange band. Were they ahead of their time?

I don't know since I was too drunk in the club at the time to notice if anyone else was doing this at the time.

Still, the music is good and it brings back good memories.

You had to be there.

Hit me on the wrong day.

1968, rocky-bluesy and folkey but nothing special.

Kind of jamming music (and I don't mean Reggae).

Just finished listening to Kendrick Lamar and now this?

Wow! Both alien genres to me and again I don't hate it so a cautious *** stars.

It's the difference between 1.5 Billion listens and 200,000 but to me it's a case of sheer popularity and not merit.

I played the song with 1.5 Billion listens and although it's actually quite chilled and laid back it's really not that special?

Surely I'm missing something? Not able to distinguish a truly momentous classic from a generic clone track?

Giving this *** because I don't hate it.

This is truly a masterpiece - I heard it 30 years ago as a kid but thought "this is crap".

Ahhh...the folly of youth. I was wrong.

This is a tour-de-force of constant ideas and sounds made even better with the random adverts that YouTube inserts since I cannot listen to it on Spotify.

Kind of sums up the whole nonsensical vibe of the album.

I like Led Zeppelin but this is one of the albums I've never connected with. Apart from Kashmir is standard fare.................
