I’m a massive fan of Dolittle, and also enjoy surfs Rosa. But this was actually the first time listening to this album today. This one is also great but just doesn’t quiet match up to their first two albums, but it’s the pixies and they are still head and shoulders above most bands.

The the are one of the better 80’s bands in my books, but still a bit 80’s really.

Spent all day trying to listen to this with my 3 yr old in the house. Turns out she hates the sound of the harmonica so this album didn’t stay on for long… thankfully she’s not rating this or it would get 1 star.

Now she’s in bed in getting to enjoy this album, I am a fan of Dylan but not a massive fan of live albums. But I did enjoy this, feels like it’s an important album being both a bootleg and showing the impact of Dylan moving from folk to rock music live and the crowd’s reaction.

Both these points make this an album you should listen to before you die, but it’s not as enjoyable to listen to as Dylan’s best studio albums, so will always be below them in my ranking. But still an album I’d have to recommend, for the points mentioned above.

This is my 3rd Beastie Boys album, I wasn’t a fan of Licenced to III (2 stars), but really enjoyed Paul’s Boutique (4 stars). Was expecting this to be more along the lines of Licensed, but thankfully I was wrong.

This album is a brilliant mix of hip hop jazz and rock, and I think it still sounds incredible today. Loved the song with Q-Tip and also got big RATM vibes from heart attack man. I might go as far as to say I enjoyed this more than PB, but I think that’s just an excuse to revisit that album and see.

Never heard of Kacey before, I suspect she might be more popular in the US than the U.K. when I seen this was country pop i sighed.

Though pleasantly surprised after 1 listen, her vocals are good, and it’s actually works her mixing country with pop. An album worth listening to at least one, and I’m sure this would be more popular in the U.K. if folk heard it.

A good rap album, in the guise of a Kanye album, no surprise he’s involved in this, but also a bit forgettable, not sure I’ll remember it come next week.

This is a good 60’s rock album, but isn’t much more than that, worth a listen once but I won’t be rushing back

This is a glamrock masterpiece,
T-Rex finest work.

This is a good modern pop album, just not really my personal taste, but worth a listen

I got elephants last week, and been listening to Jack Whites new album ‘No Name’ a lot already this week, so I feel Iv overdone Mr White before seeing this album this morning.

Ignoring that it was good to hear his debut again, I really like this album. But it’s hard to rank in terms of this list, it obviously sits behind the white stripes albums, but due to personal taste it’s already in my frequent rotation,

Been sitting on this album for over a week now, as until now I wasn’t in the mood to listen to an album on YouTube. It’s sad this album isn’t on any other streaming sites, as this is actually pretty good. Ok maybe a bit too beatlesque but still worth a listen and worthy of this list.

Yeah she’s a great singer, but my god these songs are dull, though that’s probably my view of most 90’s RnB

Another most likely biased review due to this being a Scottish band, but I really enjoyed this based on disc1 alone. I don’t think disk 2 was in the orginal album so I’ll just ignore it and save my usual moan about it being too long. Love the upbeat vibe with this one, just a great feel good album. Added to my frequent rotation.

Not bad but just a bit repetitive, I as worried when I seen this was 3 hours long on Spotify, thankfully the last 2 songs were just the album on a continuous mix. Can’t say id recommend this album.

Enjoyed this so much more than I expected, a lot of abba sings I’d never heard of. Really good album deserves to be on the list, would I add it to my frequent rotation probably not only due to personal taste.

First time listening to this album really enjoyed it, reminded me a bit of a more modern portishead/massive attack, with the chilled out heavy base, added to my frequent rotation.

This really is one of the great rock albums from the 00’s, really should be seen as a classic, that can compete with the best from the 60/70s. Yeah seven nation army has been played to death, but haven’t all great songs.

This album really does just let you into the world of Brian Eno, it’s the great midway point between his rock music and ambient music that would follow, I think this bridge makes it his masterpiece. An album that would clearly influence so many more masterpieces to come.

Did I enjoy listening to this album? Not really, but I still think it’s an important album, the issues Barret was facing are laid bare in this album making it a hard listen, but one any Pink Floyd fan should give time to.

All just got a bit too weird
