Can see why this is on the list. But not for me, a lot of flute…

Never heard of this band before, really enjoyed the album, sounds a lot like Dylan. One I could listen to again.

Love ZZ Top, I do prefer their earlier more raw blues albums, but this one is so much fun and has so many hits, so can’t not give 4 stars.

Great 60s American Psychedelic Rock record.

Up there with the best britpop albums an absolute classic. Just misses out on 5 stars due to my personal preference of preferring oasis, and the verve.

I see this as the gateway album into Radiohead. Their most accessible album and a great album on its own merit, but just doesn’t quiet match up to the genius of OK Computer and Kid A.

Really enjoyed this, but did feel the songs were a bit on the long side, the single edits are more palatable for the casual listen.

First time listening to this album in full. Very dark and heavy grunge album. Enjoyable and deserves to be on the list but don’t think it’s one I would come back to, more likely to play Nirvana or Pearl Jam.

Iv never really got into the flaming lips, I think it’s the vocals that initially put me off. After the first listen I can clearly see why this album is on the list, I just don’t enjoy it as much as other indie albums for the same era. So I made a bit more effort and gave it a couple of more listens today and wow so glad I did. Musically and lyrically this is brilliant. Not quite a master piece but a solid 4 stars, will continue to listen to this album going forward

First time listening to this album, I’m a big fan of Dummy, I don’t think this is quite as good, but still a very good album.

First time Iv heard of Nick Drake. Wow so simple so intimate and emotional, brilliant. I can see this becoming a go to album for me.

Great 80’s. Sound

Familiar with a couple of Sigur Rios songs but first time listening to this album, wow, so atmospheric absolutely a masterpiece. Can see me listening to this a lot this year.

Over the top and so cheesy but I love it. Probably a bias as my parents used to sing along to this in the car.

New band to me, really enjoyed this one, will listen to again.

4 stars since it’s Christmas

The King, does sound very dated now and he didn’t write any of the songs, but deserves to be in this list.

Great album, very emotional.

Enjoyable but very 90s alt rock, which is to my taste. Almost 30 years on I wouldn’t say it’s an album you need to listen to, unless this is the music you are into.

One of U2 better albums, I prefer the songs on Joshua Tree, can see why this is on the list, but wouldn’t chose to listen to it.
