This is prime Radiohead for me. Before they got all “experimental”. Guitar driven, melodic and solid lyrics.

The men in the Buckley family don’t do well at living long. Don’t hate this, didn’t love this.

One of the very first instances of product placement in music. Worth every penny the National Herb Association paid.

A band from the Isle of Wight who had a hit with a cover and that cover wasn’t “Ticket to Ryde”? HUGE missed opportunity.

Does everyone give extra stars for nostalgia value? I have great memories listening to this back in the day, so I unashamedly added a star.

Classic and classy

I absolutely adore Joni Mitchell and Blue is in my Top 10 albums of all time. This one doesn’t quite hit that mark, but is still classic Joni none-the-less.

Don’t fully understand the vitriol for this album. Yes, it isn’t full of smash hits and it’s definitely debatable whether the album should have made this list. But it’s here and the songs aren’t terrible. Some of them are catchy and fun.

I really enjoyed this. Hit(s) aside, I liked discovering songs I hadn’t heard before. Chrissy’s voice is amazing!

1. “I know that song, it’s good”
2. “I don’t know this song, but I like it”

This album is chock full of 1s and 2s. Mix and you’ve got the recipe for great album.

Pleasantly surprised here. I fully expected some unlistenable cacophony of heavy metal noise. Instead it was quite good. I enjoyed the musicianship and could actually understand the vocals.

Typically 60’s. Not quite as harminic as The Beach Boys, not as funny as The Monkeys and certainly not The Beatles.

It’s like one bad song that went on and on and on. Double album, no thank you

Each artist has their formula for success, but Bruce’s is so depressing. Hometown, work, car, girl, repeat.

And on this album has to be the worlds slowest song about a car race.

How can this album be over 30 years old?? Every song is better than the last. A magnificent album.

I thought this started off strong but quickly slipped into depression. Would not listen again.

It’s a 5-star classic great from beginning to end

Which song gets sung more? American Pie or Sweet Caroline. It doesn’t matter, they are both great. This album starts with a banger and has a couple of other great songs and some mediocre.

So simple, but so food

All those low scorers are just jealous that they didn't think of making a hit album with minimal effort. Just it's repetitive at times, but so are most songs. I love it and haters are going to hate.
