First time listening to this album, I guess a lot of people will overlook this album and just listen to innervisions or songs in the key of life. I don’t think this is quite the masterpiece of those two albums but still worth your time

A few great songs on this, my generation and the kids are alright, the ox, the rest of the album isn’t anything special compared to other 60’s music. The who did go on to make greater music once they got their own sound.

My dads favourite band so Heard the songs to death on the first half of this album. Not as familiar with the second half so enjoyed that a little more.

Found it a bit strange a compilation album is on the list, but ignoring that some great songs here, really love the energy and the sound of the Hives.

Similar to dookie, this album influenced the music of my youth. A good nostalgic listen, but not music I’d listen to as a proper grown up…

Freak Scene brilliant song, rest of the album good, but really found the song don’t hard to listen to.

Back in 2000 I was 12 and into WWF and a fan of the Undertaker so enjoyed Kid Rock as he did the theme song for American badass. I am now 34 and realise both WWF and Kid Rock are both absolutely shite. This is the worst album Iv had on the list so far.

Have never heard of this concert or Keith Jarret, really enjoyed this on first listen, then after listening about the story of the live show and this was improvised blew me away, this really is a masterpiece and deserves the full 5 stars.

I’m a huge fan of urban hymns not sure why Iv never listened to this before, it’s also brilliant history the stand out song, but the rest of the album just not quiet the same level of urban hymns.

This is the weirdest album Iv had on this list in a while. I surprisingly enjoyed this. So great moments on the album but also some of this is unlistenable. Can see this being very influential on future experimental bands. Not sure I enjoyed it enough to make my regular rotation though.

Was expecting this album to sound more like paper planes so was pleasantly surprised. A great sound but maybe got a little repetitive by the end.
