Love it. Always a great listen. Love the lazy, hazy atmosphere. Never lets me down with it's whacked out weirdness.
Great Cover Art.

I didn't dislike it. Much better than I was dreading. I sometimes struggle with New York bands, not always. Too much self conscious 'cool'. But this was absolutely fine. Quite good in parts

Not bad at all. Spirited songs with twanging guitars. Little bit of blues and a lot of heart

Lovely and serious. Some eternal classics on here. I still prefer later Dylan.

Lots of brilliance. But so many skits. So many.

Didn't enjoy this as much as Synchronicity. Don't think the songs are as strong. Nothing wrong (although Sting's voice can become annoying), just not grabbing me.

Baaba Maal, we meet again. And so soon. Better than the other album, but I still cannot enjoy his nasal voice.

A personal classic. My first CD (alongside John Lennon's Imagine). I know every note. I love every note. So much energy. Severely underrated.
Great cover art.

Tricky one. The first half is as good as indie rock gets. It's undeniable. The second half is very forgettable. If the songs were spread evenly, would it improve the ranking? Impossible to know.

Talking Heads will never be my favourite band. Too self-consciously cool. But this might be my favourite album of theirs. Cities and Life During Wartime are both jams.

Not completely bad. Decent rhythms but the voice irritates me.

Lots of fun. Enjoyed the glam rock influences. Unorthodox lyrics appreciated too. Very 90s, but then so am I.
Great band.

Fine. Do I need 2 Yeah Yeah Yeahs albums in this list? No. I don't dislike it, but it's not filling me with anything.

All the hallmarks of great music yet I just don't care for the music of Van Morrison. Maybe it's the voice, cos some of these songs are great. The musicians are excellent. And yet...........

I really like this. Catchy songs. Drums are brilliant, obviously. Guitars turned up to 11. Might've been nice to have a little more variety, but sometimes you just want to rock.

I love the rise in Sooner Or Later, the melody in I Want You, the one note harmonica in Pledging My Time, the waltz in Fourth Time Around.
Everybody must get stoned.

No problem with this. Country music. All fine. I wouldn't seek it out.

Sad, sad, sad.

I really enjoyed this. Very consistent. Lots of great songs. Production is real nice. A pleasant surprise.

Does nothing for me. I don't like the silly, American rawk voice.
