A brilliant cover and end of the career album. Hurt is one of those covers that blows the original out the water Cash makes it his song. When the man comes around is also a brilliant song. Such a raw album deserves to be on the list.

Rated 6/10

Not that familiar with this album compared to back in black, for that reason I enjoyed it, and feel it’s maybe a bit underrated. Worth a listen.

I love the opening Wikipedia statement about this album…

“No Other is the fourth solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Gene Clark. Released in September 1974,[A] it was largely ignored or lambasted by critics and was a commercial failure; the studio time and cost were seen as excessive and indulgent. The record label, Asylum Records, did not promote the album, and by 1976 had deleted it from their catalog. Clark never recovered from the failure of the album.”

Not really a country fan so this album wasn’t for me

Rated 10/10

One of my favourite albums in my youth. Up there with the best metal albums and helped inspire more mainstream metal.

Wasn’t sure when I first seen this album, but was enjoyable and glad Iv listened to it, probably deserves to be on the list.

The ultimate shoegaze masterpiece. Such a great album one of my favourites. Can see why it’s not to everyone’s tastes but that’s what art is all about. An album that takes time and effort to enjoy but once you get it you can’t stop coming back to it.

A 90’s alt rock masterpiece, get the vocals are not everyone’s taste. But personally I’m a fan and believe this is smashing pumpkins best album.

Never heard of this band or artist before. When I seen 43 songs on the list I wasn’t looking forward to getting through the album, but really enjoyed this such a different punk album, and even though the songs are short they blend well together. A must listen but maybe just a bit long will stop me going back to it as frequently as other albums.
