How are there at least 3!!!!!!! Deep Purple records on this list. This record is trash. It breaks no new ground. What is the point?

I enjoyed this as a kinda FU to John and Paul, like George throwing a gauntlet down and making the best post-Beatles record.

It is long. The 3rd LP didn’t need to be there. But the songwriting is top notch.

Dude singing sad songs with a guitar - sign me up. I was into the Gothic Neil Young-esque tunes. The one criticism I have is that the album was all one note - no joy to be found.

I go back and forth with this one. It was my favorite Beatles record for a long time - well, the first LP was.

As I’ve grown older and more anti-McCartney I’ve liked it less. There are some great tunes on this - but it is over bloated with throwaway tunes. Once you get to the second LP it becomes a true slog. This is despite truly standout songs like Savoy Truffle and Sexy Sadie.

On a whole this is a nostalgic four stars - should probably be a three if not for the memories.

I bought this on CD from the Virgin Superstore in Union Square in the winter of 2000. It blew my mind and was the perfect antidote to the shitty pop-punk that was saturating the airwaves at the time.

Fast forward 25 years and it still sounds as fresh as it did in 2000 - hell probably as fresh as it did in 1979.

This is a timeless masterpiece.

Grime just isn’t for me.

As a huge Tom Waits fan I was into this. Super weird, super funny. Definitely not for everyone.

If there’s one thing this list has taught me it’s that I hate the fucking Byrds.

How a band got so huge off of mediocre Dylan covers I’ll never know.

An Englandcentric album with strong Björk vibes from PJ.

2 Verve records on this list!?!?!?!?!?

What a shit band.

Not sure if I listened to the label produced version or the OG of this one. Either way I was less than into this. Felt very bland and the groove just wasn’t there.

I agree with some of the other reviewers - the Funk songs are significantly better than the uninspired Motown tracks.

Still not a bad listen.

Man, the Byrds suck.

I could see doing coke to this.

There’s like a 5 year period when Rod Stewart wasn’t a complete joke and this record is in that sweet spot.

What did one Deadhead say to the other Deadhead when he ran out of dope?

Man, this music really sucks!

My name is Sue! How do you do?

Was more enjoyable than some New Wave bands. Still not my favorite era but there’s some kitsch value some days.

I dug this - my one qualm is that the over abundance of synth really dated what would otherwise be a timeless record.

I really enjoyed this - a great piece of punk/post-punk influenced songs.
