Rated 6/10
This is quite good. Not really the call to action you'd expect from knowing the title track. Can do without the blues tribute tracks like Please, Please, Please and I'm A Man.

Rated 6/10
He's obviously a genius musician, but also this drags towards the end ("Saturn", "Ebony Eyes"), and about half of it is too schmaltzy and sentimental for my tastes.

I wasn't really in the mood to listen to this today, but still amazing and slightly unhinged in places.

Fav track: Famous Blue Raincoat
Least fav: Sing Another Song, Boys
I like how it doesn't include any of their big hits. A cool eclectic mix of songs that fly by, dedicated to a nostalgic version of England. I can't give it a 5* because a few songs grate on me.
8.0
Fav track: Picture Book
Least fav: Starstruck
I don't see what this represents being on the list. There are way more interesting punky albums from the mid-90s. Didn't totally hate it or anything.
Fav track: On a Rope
Least fav: Come See Come Saw (Is this meant to be a play on "Comme ci, comme ça"? It annoyed me either way.
Rated 10/10
I've never listened to Nina Simone purposefully before this. I'm going to be controversial and say I think this is amazing.
