Rated 8/10

Really enjoyed this album, can see how it’s influenced so many bands I love. A good mix of music, but doesn’t feel a perfect album but would influence as few, added
To my frequent rotation, 4 stars for now, maybe bump up to 5 over time.

Always thought I didn’t like madness due to the baggy trosuers song. This album was much better than I expected, worthy of this list.

Rated 6/10

I always think of U2 as an 80’s Coldplay, both annoying as fuck, but both had good early albums, this being one of them.

Great song written, lovely folk pop album, deserves to be on the list, but I’d rank this below Graceland, bookends and bridge over troubled water, so less likely to come back to it.

I think if you take into account this came out in 1967 and not 1973, it’s an impressive psychedelic album ahead of its time, but compared to DSOTM it feels very dated very soon. But I think there is an argument for this being included on the list.

Loved this album when it came out, one of th indie bands Iv completely forgot about. Probably don’t get the same credit as bloc party, but maybe they should.

One of the better world music album, not idea what he’s singing about but the music and vocals just flow so well together I can enjoy the music with out knowing what it means,

Frustrating I had to listen to this through YouTube, as I really enjoyed this so impressive it came out in 1966, clearly a massive proto punk album. Not a perfect album but clearly influenced so many of those albums that would follow, 4 stars.

Never heard of the Bees before, and I’ll have most likely forgotten about them again come tomorrow.

Another great album from public enemy that more than deserves to be on this list, but really isn’t in the same league as their masterpiece “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back”

Given this also came in 1991 it maybe hasn’t dated as well as the low end theory. So good album, but not a classic.

Rated 4/10

This album was just a bit of a mess parts of it were good, but not enough for me to believe this deserves to be on this list.
