These guys are very talented, but man, 43 songs is a LOT. They're all very short, though, so if you aren't into the current song, just wait. Bonus for giving us the theme song for Jackass.

Another artist that is better served with a greatest hits collection as opposed to an album. Just samey sounding cheesy ballads abound. The Prince cover is awful. Also, she was getting to the point where she was just doing too much of the whisper singing.

No wonder they thought they were The Beatles. If I wrote songs these good, I'd think I was John Lennon, too.

I'm a sucker for a good riff/guitar solo and this album is FILLED to the brim with them.These guys truly don't get the love they deserve. They're more than just Smoke On The Water.

14 songs that blaze by in less than a half an hour. Haters will say all the songs sound the same and that they only use 3 chords, but it's over before that becomes an issue. God bless The Ramones.

This was a fun listen. Thundercats is obviously a beast on the bass and I enjoyed hearing random guest shots from Michael McDonald and Kendrick Lamar. I dig Thundercats goofy sense of humor. My only real issue is some of the tracks were really undercooked, especially the shorter ones. Probably would be a great album to get stoned to if I did that kind of thing.

There are some days that i prefer this one to Thriller. This has that smooth 70's production that I just love. Quincy Jones was a genius and Michael was insanely talented. Plus, I'm pretty sure this was made before he started molesting children so that's a plus.

Standard 90s alt rock album with a bit of a spacy twist. Like a lot of albums of the CD era it's about 15 minutes too long. I dunno. I liked a couple tracks.

They would go on to do bigger and better things. Not my favorite by them but still has some great tracks.

I guess they did other stuff than the Breakfast Club soundtrack. Not a bad little synth pop record.

I got a Sonic Youth album yesterday, and sorry hipsters, I prefer this. It's not exactly groundbreaking stuff, but it's fun and it's okay to have some fun every so often. Probably don't need the endless Ben Stiller outro, though.

I'm glad so many of the bands I love were able to hear this and have it influence them cause personally I don't get it. Kim Gordon is cool, though.

Like I said on my review of Stardust on this site, listening to Willie Nelson is like just sitting by the fire with a bunch of old cowboys singing songs and telling stories. This is exactly what country music can and should be.

The Beasties would certainly mature both musically and as people after this (as we all should) but goddamn if this album isn't a blast to listen to. They would later claim a lot of of this is satire that went over people heads, and I mostly believe that. It's loud, stupid and obnoxious and pretty much a perfect debut album.

Parts of this sound like something from the 90's and some of it has that distinctive 80's cheese factor. It's okay.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Never been a big Van Morrison guy, but his band fucking shreds and he has a lot of charisma as a front man. Guess I've been sleeping on Van.

This kind of reminds me of a less proggy version or Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson. Never heard of these guys before but they'll definitely be in my rotation now.

Made after the backlash to their experimental 90's period, this album was supposed to be a return to form for U2. What it really is is a safe, watered version of U2. People ate it up at the time, but this is no one's favorite U2 album unless you're boring. They've just coasted since then. Stick with Achtung Baby and everything before.

I realize Dylan is an important figure in music history. I just think that on a list where some important genres and artists are massively under represented, we probably don't need a Bob Dylan bootleg. This is interesting from a historical standpoint and is overall a fine performance, but Bob Dylans folk to rock evolution is already represented by albums of his on this list. At least I got to annoy my wife with my Dylan impression all day.

Sounds like this could have been released in the 90's, not 1984. Loved the orchestrations.
