It's good to not even try to like this.

It's not really Jazz in my view as the orchestration and her voice take the whole thing.

I have heard ths before and t be honest her voice was wrecked by this time but I could listen to this all day and all night it's so smooth and subtle.

I unashamedly love Abba. The greatest pop songs ever recorded.

This album is less poppy though (better produced and musically deeper) with more adult themes.

I would have marked it down slightly but it has my favourite Abba song (The day before you came) so it has to be 5/5

I've always semi-liked this band but to be honest they're pretty much a mish-mash of a number of styles that were popular (and still are) at the time.

Nothing really inventive her but a pleasant 90's alt-rock album.

It's pretty cool but I don't get the hype tbh

An album that contains what I consider to be one of the greatest dance tracks ever.

But is the rest of the album any good?

Well, the other tracks are a well-produced mishmash of styles but I wouldn't say it's a cohesive experience.

One track makes the whole album......

Very 60's and dated to be honest but still enjoyable.

Rock with a Blues tint on some tracks.

Whatever you might think of her as a person or whether she's overplayed this is an album packed with talent.

I remember listening to'Rolling' and thinking "boy this girl is good!" Little did I know.

Since then I do think she's overplayed and all the razzmatrazz is too much.

Compare her to say Tina Turner, Aretha or Whitney and I think it's down to marketing and exposure. Adele has a great voice but should she really be compared to the greats?

I bought this album at the time but consider it the beginning of the end in terms of creditability.

Power, Corruption & Lies was the perfect hybrid of styles but by this time they'd really started to get swallowed up whole by synths, drum machines and insipid lyrics.

They're like the hollowed out shell of a once great band.

It's horrible and soulless.

Very 80's but this is so so good. I count 6 great tracks out of 9 on the album.

Weird to think Peter Gabriel was a 70's prog-rock concept album and then became an 80's pop diva.

I can't divorce the music from the videos though - groundbreaking and addictive. But then the 80s was the beginning of the MTV phenomenom and in my head they are one.

One of the best and most representative musicians from the decade or any time to be honest.

It's ok I guess, a bit nothingy in my view. She has a great voice though but seemingly let down by mediocre songwiting.

Great cover too.

As far as Country goes it's pretty bearable- great voice and musically varied and kept my interest.

Not at all too marshmallowy and the production keeps it together well.

Not bad.

Try as I might I've never been able to get into this album.

I like their others but this is just so bland.

No hooks, that's the issue.

I suppose it only even comes down to taste and to be honest I find this more interesting and oddly engaging than many albums that are thrust my way for me to listen to.

It's distant and whimsical and otherworldly.

Art-rock yes but I find his voice really magnetic and fragile.

This is a good find.

Any album with American Pie and Vincent on is gotta be good.

Don isn't remembered that well it seems now but he is a great writer, musician and singer.

Some of the melodies sound kinda similar I'll admit (like Vincent and Empty Chairs) but they're so beautiful nevertheless.

His voice is so soothing and resonant and guitar playing accomplished.

Easiest 5/5 in a while

Ok in parts but quite derivative.

Part Industrial with tinges of claasical accompaniment.

what can I say- not bad but equally not good either.....

Everything that has been said about this is true and 3/5 is kinda the correct score for something that's groovy but not the most original.

I love Graceland and I like this - so soothing and accomplished.

36 minutes whizz past and I want to play it again.

Honestly this is one the greatest heavy metal bands ever.

Lemmy is a demi-god who now watches over us with beer and a fag hanging from his crooked mouth.

I went to see them a year before this when the warm up band was the Plasmatics led by Wendy O Williams and it was banned can you believe because they wanted to blow up a Rolls-Royce on stage! I mean what's wrong with that?!

So there we were after the gig- two 14 years olds staggering out into the night surrounded by burly bikers in leather who made sure we got on the tube ok. I was a wreck and one of my ears was bleeding at the end. I was a mess the next morning in Spanish.

Never forgotten it.

Started off ok but ended but up a bit samey. Jingle-jangley songs melding into nowhere.

I got a softspot for these guys. It's not really rock at all- more jazzy prog but it's really good for putting on late at night and chilling with a stick of incense...
