She’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Including mine

Quite nice that.

Spotify says that 2.2 billion people have listened to Bohemian Rhapsody. Thats about a quarter of the world's population. The rest must have listened to it on Apple Music.

This album is the best.

Just a sweary Rebecca Black

If there ever was a band that epitomises 60's London, it's The Kinks. So upbeat and still cool.

Had my first car accident listening to Slippery When Wet.
5/5

The music reflects the album cover. Plain.

It's a bit dreary

Odd mix of genres on this album, from a band searching for an identity. Goes everywhere from ballady to rap to full-on Slayer. I enjoyed "From Out of Nowhere" and "Epic", but hated "Surprise! You're Dead!" "War Pigs" was as good as the original.

I went into this album blind. I hadn't really heard of Harry Nilsson, but of course I knew "Without You" and "Coconut" because of Reservoir Dogs.

If I didn't know any better I would assume Harry was English, because his sound is like a cross between John Lennon and Paul McCartney and his music has a very Beatles/Wings sound to it. He’s got a fantastic voice.

Going down the rabbit hole I found out I was partially right. He was American, not English, but was friends with (and admired by) The Beatles.

Deeper down the hole you'll find out that a flat he once owned in London was the site of not one, but two celebrity deaths. In the same room, in the same bed, four years apart. Both Mama Cass and Keith Moon were 32 when they died.

There were certainly a lot of bongos

Classic Stevie W. with a couple of megahits. Syrupy at times.

Slow and steady wins the race. Not his best, no lives were changed, but it's solid and it's Bowie.

not my cup of tea

Before he got weird, fell out with the record company and changed his name to a symbol, there was this album. Not his first album, but without doubt his best. A ton of hits on here and I challenge anyone not to know the words to the majority of the songs. Nostalgia overload.

It's a classic

No hits on here, but every song is solid.

Could there possibly have been sentimental reasons why this album was universally adored when it was released months after Cobain's death? No doubt.

It's not the best in the Unplugged series, that title undoubtedly goes to Eric Clapton. However, it is moving and deservedly on this list

"Geno" was a classic anthem when I was young. Dexy's before the dungarees. An incredibly talented band, despite Kevin's voice.

Life changing.
