Over the top. Love it

I absolutely hate Bob Dylan, so I guess they are better for not having him as the lead anymore. Still dull.

I'm 150 albums in and I'm way over thinking this. I went into listening to these albums purposely avoiding Wikipedia until after I listened and rated them. However..

I don't really know how to rate this. It's not an album i'd ever listen to because it just doesn't really do anything for me. But it feels "important"

At the same time I don't even know the cultural significance of this album to quantity why it's important. I think these are covers. Would it be more important to put the albums of the original artists on this list to add context, or does ray Charles significantly altrs the music enough to warrent the album to exist being on this list even with the album being context free? Then does any album on this list follow that? I'm sure there are plenty of albums I like on this list because of the context it exists and I like the album BECAUSE of the cultural significance that I do understand. What even makes a great album. Maybe I need to get a copy of this stupid book.

Anyway I have it a 3

I don't know

Amazing musicians but this is probably dating me as all I can hear is this music would be great on an episode of Mr Rogers neighborhood.

Hey. Are you a cis white male guitar based band from the late 70's/early 80's that's vaguely mad? Why don't you be on my best of album list!

Seriously just shitty version of the Doors.

Honestly? Way better than I thought it was going to be. Way better than velvet underground. Must be a sweet spot in drug addiction I guess.

The most Radiohead of Radiohead albums

I'm giving this album a 2.

I hate everything about this band, this album, everything. But it gives me a very specific nostalgia that I can't help but feel happy. I hate that the most.

Might not have the strongest u2 singles but a much better overall album than anything I've heard of them. So wildly different than their later stuff. Not that either is better, but it seems like they weren't just writing for the singles here.

The only band I've ever wanted to be in. They have better albums but I can't not give them 5 stars!

It's a weird album. The songs seem long, but only 6 songs? I don't know. I think I realized David Bowie makes albums to actively listen to. If you are just listening to it while doing other things it's not very good? But if you are doing nothing but listening it's much better. Don't know how don't know why.

Seems quite inessential in his overall album output besides 2 songs...

It's so weird to hear actual rap. It's been a while. He definitely paints a picture of hardache, ik just not a fan of his voice. Like he's trying too hard..

I love some pet shop boys songs and this probably felt really fresh when it came out, but now it sort of sounds like a theme song to a weather channel...

It's been a while since I gave a 5 and I really like this music. Not going to look up why the bands name and cover is terrible just going to be in a good mood today.

He is dark. Probably my favorite album from him so far. Still probably wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it normally though.

It seems I can handle his voice for exactly one song. First song was great, then it just got grating.

He's just not a singer? He creates amazing stories, but I was quite literally falling asleep listening to this.

Definitely a mood, but it's just so good in a way I was not expecting.

So middle of the road. It's like the most boring parts of queen and the eagles. But I'm now a dad and I can honestly say I grooved a bit.
