Extra star because it’s the Bunnymen.

Other than Hallelujah I hadn’t heard much about Jeff Buckley. But what an album! The range is incredible. Such a shame that this was to become his only album.

I’m a big fan of the Stones but I was a bit underwhelmed by this album. Even the US version with Paint it Black didn’t wow me

An absolute banger

The best shoegazing

When this popped up I wondered how I had missed this first time round. After a listen I knew.

Bluesy rock, before zz when mainstream.

A cult classic that has aged surprisingly well. Yes, the hits are overplayed on the radio, but that’s just testament to what great songs they are.

Times were simpler in the 70’s. Bands didn’t have the time to spend thinking up cool names, they were too busy making great music. So they just named themselves after the place they were from. Boston, Chicago, Kansas. Not like the fake band names that came later. I’m looking at you Texas.

This is a solid album with great musicianship. It certainly sounds of the decade, but that’s not a bad thing.

Post-punk shouldn’t be its own genre

Never knew Stills had a first name

It annoys me when people talk about Eurythmics and the only band member mentioned is Annie Lennox. Eurythmics would not have been the success they were without Dave Stewart.

It’s obvious that Stewart preferred to stay in the shadows (demonstrated by this album cover) but he still existed and made a major contribution.

It’s African, it’s jazz, it’s funk, it’s drums. Lots of drums. Too much drums?

Country music is too sad for me. And this guy seems to have had the worst kind of luck.

I’m a big fan of house and dance music and this album is one of the best. A couple of missteps, but almost there

Great sound. Kate-Bush-esque

Now that’s what I call jazz

Hip hop is better than rap

As far as rap albums go, this wasn’t the worst. I could have done without the skits and adlibs, felt that didn’t add anything to it.

Like a shittier Tiny Tim
