Agh I really like this kind of sound but I just can't get behind the lyrics... I know they were standard at their time and I'm not going to blame the Everly Brothers but it literally starts with "girls girls girls were made to love" and "that's why some of them are 5 foot 2" and "that's why you watch them walk down the street" I mean COME ON jeesus. It's a bit much to swallow so to say ;) Same feeling throughout the rest of the album. It's a kind of music I really enjoy but I can't get past the dodgy words and misogyny.
Well. Well well well. Welly welly welly. The everly bros sounds like winey little sexist piggies. Maybe, young man the reason none of the girls love you is because you keep telling them that girls were made to love. The music is great though, makes me think of the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance in Back to the Future.
I like many artists who were influenced by the Everley Brothers, but this album doesn't do it for me. Their harmonies would have influenced bands like the Beatles but on this album the harmonies start to drive me nuts after the first couple of songs; they don't have the music writing / instrument playing abilities the Fab Four had. All I end up thinking of is the awful albums that resulted from bands being influenced by their harmonies. Remember Bee Gees' Odessa album that 1001 made us endure before we die? There is some cover version association that doesn't do this album any favours. For example, Nazareth's painful and overplayed cover of Love Hurts makes the Everley Brothers' version hard to listen to. Also, EB's cover of Lucille should have been left on the cutting room floor. Their doing this song with two part harmony is sacrilege for Little Richard fans and a waste of one of the only good guitar bits on the album. I like Wake Up Little Susie. If that song was on this album it might have helped my rating.
I remember reading in Keith Richard's biography that around 1964, before the Stones put out their 1st album, they toured with The Everly Brothers and one other band for a summer. The Stones were billed as the number 3 band, but by the end of the summer, they were the headliners. By listening to this album It's easy to see why -Everly Brothers are so squeaky clean and white! The Stones doing their Bo Diddley or Howlin' Wolf covers would have blown them off the stage!
This record really captures the mood and spirit of the 50’s. Whoops this was released in 1960, so you could say it was already getting dated. And boy is it ever an anachronism now. Well although the music isn’t very exciting and the lyrics are pretty lame, I have to admit they had nice voices.
Dated and uninteresting. On the one hand the tracks are so short they feel under developed but on the other that meant I only had to listen to a half hour of this overly saccharine music.
Pablum.
Some situational potential but overall very grating.
Not my style. I find the lyrics in a lot of this kind of music to be pretty inane. While a song here and there is charming, as a cohesive listening experience it's a bit of a samey chore. Fave track: Love Hurts
this is too straight for me chile 😭
Ehkä aika ajanut jo ohi eikä ihan nouse sinne klassikko-materiaaliin. Kerran kuunteli ilman ongelmia ja helppo painaa unholaan.
Great voices and the music isn't bad, but it lacks character. Also women were not made to love that is so misogynistic and anti-based. If either of them asked me on a date, I would vehemently reject them and throw cantelope chunks at their balls.
A date with either of the Everly brothers starts off with some gentle misogyny and ends with some very short but oddly ok pity sex.
eh
BOOOOOOOOORING. We’re on quite a cold streak right now.
It's so dated but science be praised that rock got more interesting than this later in the 60s. This is a typical 50s diner music, which is pleasant in it's own way, but nothing that I would choose to play. Love Hurts is instantly recognizable but mainly from Nazareth's version.
I grew up listening to fair amount of oldies on FM radio, so I know a couple of Everly Brothers songs: 'Wake Up Little Susie' and 'Bye Bye Love' (which is a really solid jam). This was my first time listening to this album, and I don't think I've ever heard any of the songs on it (unless you count Nazareth's version of 'Love Hurts'). I'd say this album is what I would expect for the time: songs about love with simple and catchy instrumentation, topped with a few sprinkles of casual misogyny. But for what it is, I think it's really good. The harmonies are great, and even though the instrumentation certainly isn't lighting the world on fire, it really works well with the lyrics. 'Love Hurts' is probably the best song on the album, and in a way, I'm glad that I had only heard the Nazareth version up until now. Alternative title for this album: Aw, Shucks: White People Problems
notes - classic sugary sweet pop rockabilly from the 60s - guys and gals, love songs - quite cookie cutter sounding to modern ears but the vocals have a quality to them that feels a bit more genuine (but not a ton) - they actually wrote most of their own music which was unusual for the time fav that’s just too much - love the tremolo guitar and chorus melody least fav - sigh cry almost die - seems like the whole song is filling time to get to the part where they say the name pf the song 2.5/5
Can't get past the sickly sweetness of pre 60s white person rock
Meh
Bit of a bore.
Meh
Plain country, not my thing hut aight
Lovely harmonies but dated and flat
The good thing about these early rock and roll records is that there isn’t a song over 3 minutes long on most of them. This record’s even better. Every song gets faded out indiscriminately, regardless of wether the song is actually over. It’s like the engineer went “Ok, we’re at 2 minutes 23 seconds…fade that shit”. As an added bonus, “A Date With…” is only 27 minutes long, which, turns out, is exactly how long I can tolerate pre-1965 rock music. What a coincidence.
I got excited when I saw this album generated, but then I realized I got the Everly Brothers mixed up with the Righteous Brothers, and then my excitement faded.
Humanity has moved on since this album, and we're better for that.
The best thing about this album is that it was only 27 minutes long. Outside of that it was not that good of an album. It still has that 50s sound. Sure there are harmonies but they still annoying. It may have been good to listen to at the regular sock hop, but I do not need to revisit it.
2/5. I wanted to be excited for this after the first song but there was a lot of empty feeling in this album compared to early Beatles and beach boys. Didn’t have the same passion.
Óeftirminnilegt. Fínar raddir en einfaldar útsetningar, hrikalega dated textar. Eiga þeir ekki betri plötu en þessa? Ef svo er, þá er best að ná sér bara í einhverja best of plötu.
Rock viejito y bonito pero nada extraordinario o revolucionario. Canciones cortas, rock de la época estándar. 2.5 estrellas, justo en el medio. Iba a subir porque está agradable pero termina bajando a 2 porque no creo volver a escuchar el disco ni recordar el nombre de la banda.
Eh. Just don't care for this style.
Not my jam
2.5/5
"sigh, cry, almost die" is my morning alarm anthem
Early 60's "rock & roll". Hard to hate it because it's so bland and boring. But definitely nothing to love here. A whole bunch of sappy 2 min songs about girls and their pathetic love lives.
This is what my mom used to tell me she listened to when she was younger to try to sound cool because it was the only thing she ever listened to that wasn't a recording of a Presbyterian choir singing from the hymnal. She probably on listened to it once and wasn't offended so rolled with it.
For a fifties album, initial tastes of surf, country, blues were satisfying: all distinct and intense enough. A necessary listen for the list, perhaps, but lite through-and-through.
СКУЧНО.
Cathy’s Clown is classic, but this album all kinda sounds the same. It’s a too-clean, watered-down attempt at blues by two white dudes. They have a unique sound, but I’m not really keen on the two-part harmony vibe. There’s a reason only them, Hall and Oates, and Wham have tried it. I guess it’s is what’s sock hop would have sounded like? No thanks.
A Date With The Everly Brothers is...dated. It has that late 50s/early 60s charm, or at least the veneer of it, but thematically it's a little problematic and musically it's not a patch on many others who were doing similar in the same era. 2/5, at least it was over inside half an hour.
It's a bit twee, isn't it... At least it would be if the lyrics weren't so casually chauvinistic. You can miss that quite easily given the nature of the music, but it feels so dated because of that. It's well sung and performed (and nice and short), but can't give it any more than a 2.
For when the ol' man lets you borrow the Cadillac to take your sweetheart out to the malt shop for a cherry cola, then the local dance (as the cover states, this is suitable for listening AND dancing) and maybe she'll let you get to second base, cause girls were made to love after all.
It was fine. Nothing stood out and I could easily never listen to another track from this album.
Not gonna listen again but root of beach boys and beatles
Ja det här var ju... tråkigt
There are a lot of 60s albums that hold up very well even today. Unfortunately this is not one of them.
Didn't hate it but also never listening to it again.
It was boring
absolutely not my style
Usually the kind of album that I love, but it's not too good. Some outdated somg lyrics. 2
It’s kinda nice but it got boring very quickly
Pretty bad. Dated both culturally and sonically. Not sure what value this album brings to the list. To me it’s very clearly made for commercial purposes.
dated pop, doesn't stand out enough
If I was a teenage girl in the 60s maybe I'd listen to this, but unfortunately I'm not
Nice enough. Can see how the vocal harmonising on songs like Love Hurts would've influenced The Beatles. Though I get the impression that even when this album was released it wasn't particularly groundbreaking.
I thought this was nice, what did you guys think?
5/10
Boy oh boy are love songs creepy in the 50s. "Made to Love" got me off on a real bad foot. Interesting to hear, I guess.
12 songs in 27 minutes. This date with the Everly Brothers gets straight to the point and doesn't mess around with any foreplay. "Girls were made to love" within the first 30 seconds. 50s and early 60s objectification of women may have been a different flavor, but it's still there. Did they date one woman simultaneously? Or is this a double date? Either way, I don't think this date went very well. Things get pretty sad a few songs in. Gosh, Everly Brothers, who hurt you? They both sound equally sad. Either both ladies from the double date double ditched, or Phil or Don are dragging their brother down into a pity hole with them. I got excited by the pace of "Lucille" at the start, hoping they found a new lady to love. But nope, they're begging her to return. These guys are getting a little desperate. Should we be concerned? (Retroactively?) Ugh, then Donna ditches you for Johnny!? You can't catch a break! Although, the common element here seems to be the Everlys. Maybe they're the problem in these relationships. Don eventually found fleeting happiness, married twice in the 60s and 70s, but single from 1970-1997. Phil was also married three times, and single for most of the 80s and 90s. It must've been hard being a dreamy-voiced country rock superstar.
Not a whole lot of excitement here. It’s OK. I would write more, but I defer to JKav’s review.
Nothing overly exciting even for the time. Not much going on here. Listenable.
It was ok. Nothing special, but no doubt great at the time.
It's kind of whatever 60s rock? Not too offensive but not really great either
Just flowed over me not making a huge impression
I'll pass on this date.
Not my thing. One extra star for influencing the Beatles.
according to the label, this is 12 great songs for listening and dancing. I didn't particularly want to do the former and the latter is right out the window. who is the geezer who heard this and thought "aw yeah, this is a mandatory listen?"
I’m sure it was all the rage in 1961, but doesn’t seem that significant or interesting in hindsight. A stepping stone on the road to making blues whiter. 2 stars because regardless, they wrote few timeless songs.
I find very little to listen to the Everly Brothers when we have the Beatles, because they do everything better on their first two records that the Everly Brothers do here. 2/5.
12 songs in 28 minutes. I liked this. But it’s still a conundrum.. i feel that it’s too long of an album. The brothers’ harmonizing is great. The music itself is very signature sound from the time. Some really rad piano in Baby What You Want Me To Do. But I can only take so much of it. But I didn’t hate it. The 2 is a very strong 2… definitely 2.5
First off, 12 songs in 27 mins? Love me a short album. Won't revisit it but the reverberations of this sound can be heard in countless other bands so that's gotta be worth something. 🌟🌟
An album your grandmother would probably like. It's rock n' rock without the balls.
Could have been influential to other bluesy folk duos. Not very impressed
bit sexist (understandable for their generation) and plain, still a fun listen though liked lucille, donna donna, a change of heart and cathy's clown
Gets a tad boring after a few songs
I like the album cover, you can tell he's on a promise, whilst his brother looks on grinning. The pair of them are seemingly obsessed with girls. If you want to find the source of the objectification of women within the 20th century, you would do well to start here.
So so, couple of good songs but mainly peters into dull for me. Decent harms though
Mooie liedjes, maar mijn aandacht kon ik er niet bij houden
Beetje slappe hap, maar wel aardig om een keer gehoord te hebben.
Eerste liedje super leuk, daarna zijig.
Like baseline ok. Dated, and had a few sexist and "forever alone" shots that rubbed me wrong.
12 canciones y menos de 28 minutos. Sonido de los 60 un poco ñoño. Me ha gustado "Made to Love" y sobre todo "Lucille", una versión de una canción de Little Richard que es una clara inspiración de la base de "Oh, Pretty Woman". Imprescindible para mí no es.
Not my daily cup of tea. I'll give it a two just because I know it's a good album in its style.
Semibängeri Helt ok classic rock, men nog semitråkigt
It's not bad for what it is. It's 50's love/pop music. It's kind of comical to listen to this (listed as released in 1961) and then listen to some of the music that would come on like a tidal wave later on in the psychedelic 60's. It's not hard to understand how music evolved from those two decades. Regardless for what it is this is fine, just not for me.
Not my kind of music but serviceable.
too rinky dinky doo for me
Short, enjoyable, with some hits like "Cathy's Clown" and "Made to Love" that I can see myself replaying! "Love Hurts" was pretty great, but I'm more used to the Nazareth cover so I think I'm biased. Felt like it had a bit of a surf-rock influence at times.
Old school country western. Not my cup of tea, to be honest.
Olihan kädenlämpöistä ja löysää paskaa. Ei kyllä toimitellut itselleni yhtään.
🍷
Target audience: teenage boomer girls. Me: was once a teenage not boomer boy. This does nothing for me.
Sound is very generic and outdated. Not very interesting at all. Seeing how this was already into the 60s at this point this sound was basic formulaic pop slop.
Sounds dated at this point. Couldn’t make it through the entire thing.
Ass
I don’t know why I hate this
1.5/5
Goofy chipmunk singers, hate the 60s sound
Dated and lame
Ole' rapey toons from the 60's with a great side of misogyny! These songs are so lame. Everyone from this time sounds like this. Nothing worth noting.
Two adult men whining about how women don't want to sleep with them. At its best this album is a boring, generic 60s album. At its worst it comes across as judgemental and sexist
Jesus Christ ..
Dull
This is the future conservatives want you to have.
Let's hark back to the days of women were in their rightful place yeah? This shit plays well to the current manosphere vibe in the world. Trad wife values and all. No I don't want to go on a date with you and hopefully nobody else does either. Get over yourselves fellas and give women some respect. Going to go cleanse my palate with some Little Simz and Wet Leg now.
Sucks.
Boring
“clean” rock. this shit is boring. made in a lab to appeal to a certain demographic
Oh god no. I just can’t get along with this stuff.
It didn't take long before this was shut down. Misogynistic, idealistic nonsense. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ a bit, it's terrible Revisit ❌️ ★☆☆☆☆ (1/10) Total reviewed : 224 Already owned : 51 Purchased : 12 To buy list : 2 Nope : 159
Not for me.
Cannot stand listening to this it’s boring and drab, and lowkey a little misogynistic. At least Trout Mask Replica was interesting on an intellectual level and had different subjects.
So dated that the lyrics are almost worse than the idiocracy that incels throw around in their circles. Tried to like some harmonies and songs, but the lyrics made me want to turn off every song the first chance I got
do-wop, ain't it for me
невозможно
Music you leave room for Jesus to dance with.
Boring 60s white boy misogynistic slop that I did NOT needed to be recommended.
Pop from another era that anyone under 80 probably wouldn’t know. Claude François, the early Beatles, even Dorothée, that’s what this record reminds me of. After two songs, I was already bored.
This album is like the quintessential example of something being of its time. Like I get that at the time, this kind of music had an audience, but I absolutely refuse to believe that there is a single person alive today who would ever seek listening to this album in full or anything like it. This list is meant to be essential listening, but instead we are stuck with poorly aged crap like this, get in the bin.
Supermarket Home Brand boring!
Old cheese
One-dimensional, kinda misogynistic garbage.
To bad these boys couldn't say what they really wanted...
Ekstremt utdatert metoo-incel-album. Positivt at det er under 30 minutter.
For only having the run time of 28 minutes, it feels like a drag. The vocal performance is good but uninspired and tired for the modern ear. For a better cover of Baby What Do You Want Me To Do, listen to Elvis Presley for some real vocal prowess that injects an animalistic appeal into the song that is simply missing in the Everly version. The songs in here tend to fade out, and this album will surely fade from my memory too.
Built on bright guitars, steady rhythms, and tender, close-knit harmonies this Rock'n Roll album creates something florid and boring.
Only Cathy's Clown is worthy of note and I might be saying that only because I knew it already.
Love Hurts Cathy's Clown
narzekalem na milosne spiewanie na przyjemnych brzmieniach, to dostalem z jeszcze grubszego kalibru, duet i to bratni duet everleysow, krazek z roku 60, wiec prehistoria rock and rolla, 28 minut brzdakania i spiewania harmonicznego o dupie maryny w akompaniamencie gitarkowym, glownie, bo chyba bracia na tym brzdakami, a reszta to sesyjni muzycy, jedynie dwa pierwsze i zamykajacy trak to ich kompozycje natomiast pozostala czesc to covery jeszcze bardziej prehistorycznych nagran czarnego rokowania, no i panstwa bryantow, duetu malzenskiego spiewajacego i grajcego w latach 50, duzo wiecej nie da sie powiedziec o tej plycie, bo wszystko brzmi tak na jedno kopyto i po przeszluchu czuje jakby jednym uchem wpadlo, a drugim wypadlo
nothing i care for
not my style
Like The Beach Boys without anything appealing
No. 3/10
Rating (1-5): ✩ Will I be listening to this again: Nope What do I like about it: Nah What I dislike about it: If women were "made" to love, I don't think they were made to love this album. Soooooo boring Higlighted songs: None babyyyyy
satme nogle corny drenge! Kedelige originale numre og covers, der er værre end andre versioner jeg har hørt af samme sange. Forestiller mig at gutterne fik meget tid til at gå med at stå på gadekæret og lade som om de snakker i telefonboks og catcalle alle kvinder, der går forbi dem.
Snooze. Kan ikke lade være med at tænke på om det er en date med....dem begge to? White Lotus vibes.
Didn’t listen looked too white
Church boy shit
It’s a too cute for me - and very dated
I guess every generation has emo boy bands. Why would you choose to make whiny loser your brand? But clearly it resonates with people?
So dull... 1
1.5 - whiny chipmunks singing songs about girls. Totally white-washed rock n roll. The only thing that was ok was love hurts
To far back for me and not the Beatles or the Stones.
Super Generic sounding and it all sounds the same. The singing is also grating.
Classic 60‘s vibe. Old school Rock‘n‘Roll
Ok, this is so melodramatic it’s hilarious. I can’t take this seriously. Maybe I could have if I were a tween girl, but even then…
Bad then, bad now.
This was short, to the point where most of the tracks seem to be faded out halfway through, which actually isn't a bad thing. It's not bad because literally every track on this album is appalling. We have incredibly creepy lyrics, sickly-sweet vocal delivery, and awful rock and roll music. This is a nasty album from start to finish, but hits a low point in the cover of Lucille; wow, that is such an awful, sanitised version of Little Richard's classic. I read a little about the Everly Brothers, already sure that their tale would involve drug abuse, and indeed it does. Seems that their drug of choice was speed, which figures; they even managed to find a seedy drug to be addicted to. This is a clear one star album, painful to listen to, no talent to display. Instead, I felt slightly unclean at the end of my listen. If I walked into a bar and I heard this music being played, I would do an immediate U-turn and exit.
No. 1/10
bad beach boys
no
Probably was great back in the day. Not something I can enjoy today tho.
They sound like the chipmunks just hit puberty. I got through 3 songs and had to stop b/c my ears were starting to bleed.
If Music sounded like this still I might have already killed myself 2/10
Boat club
Boring
Miserable
sad. low energy, a body beaten and bruised. a body disfigured when seen in the mirror. a person broken when seeing herself. a teardrop. two teardrops. walking with naked feet. broken highway. big ideas. a cold staircase. lips twisted and frozen. lips with the skin chewed off. low energy. burning scars. a mind to never wake up again. this body isnt mine.
Something about this feels icky.
tried to listen to it while reading and fell asleep two tracks in. tried to listen to it again before bed and fell asleep one track in. tried to listen to it in traffic, fell asleep at the wheel and caused a sixteen car pileup. boring bland and painfully uninspired, but its a 5 if you're talking about sleep aid
Dated in every way. Horrible album, even if it is refreshingly short
#35 - if there's one thing I'm learning from this list is I really hate 60s country male duos
Just an absolute cringe fest.
The nadir of generic 50s music.
I love the harmonies & the song choices. It’s just too saccharine for my taste.
This gives me a headache
goofy
puh - not really mine. It sounds “so old”.. By the way: each song “faded out” -> that’s not my way of story telling
I pretty much hated this whole thing. Not my style, way too old, blah.
To be honest with you, this album was so forgettable that literally a day after listening to it three times, I can’t list a single thing about it
This hasn't aged well, I didn't particularly enjoy it and I'm not sure what makes it exceptional enough to be on the list, there are a lot of albums from the late 50s/early 60s that sound like this. High 1.
I judged a book by its cover and I was right in doing so. 1
Yea not for me
Zu alt, zu gleichförmig
Didn't like it
Talk about wash, rinse, repeat. I gave this one a closer look because my dad liked the Everlys....but this was 27 minutes of repeated riffs. The only song I was aware of was Cathy's Clown....If this was what it was like to grow up in the 1960's, it was pretty bland.
Was not able not get into this one. Could not imagine getting hyped to go to a concert of this music but people were probably lined up out the door for a chance to throw ass at these dudes.
selkäpiitä KARMII kun suuta aletaan soittaa. en pysty, edfhjknfnflsjnkdfhfdfn miten voi olla näin vähän tunnetta...personaalisuutta... tylsä on tunne btw, tämä ei ole tylsä... vaan tunteeton sieluton... amerikka moment. hyi hyi hyi 28 minuuttia ja silti tuntu pidemmältä kuin eilisen 2h albumi. kovereita tietenkin, radioystävällistetty mustaihoisten biisejä gg baby what. wjat the fuck
I don't know if I was in a bad mood or what, but I did not like this album. It basically represents everything that hasn't appealed to me with some of the albums on this project I've done so far. It's repetitive, unoriginal (I'm fine with covers, but with only 3 out of the 12 songs being written by the Everly Brothers themselves, it's a bit too much on the "they didn't write these songs" side of things), boring, and worst of all, it hasn't aged well! That first song. Oof... That is what you call an uncomfortable listen. I guess this serves as a representation of the music of the time, but maybe I just don't like the music of that time. I also don't like the singing. I don't know why, I just don't. The instrumentation is probably the best part of the album, and even then it's only average at best. Also, what's with all the fade-outs? I know I'm nitpicking at this point, but it happened for what I think was all of the songs. With all of those, as well as this specific album not really having much impact (even if the artists have had a slight cultural impact), I think this album warrants my first ever 1/5.
1/5
Highlights: Love Hurts, Cathy's Clown. In a nutshell: the blueprint. I found myself skipping a lot of songs on this album. I knew of an earlier Everly Brothers single "Bye Bye Love" and was hoping this album showed an expansion of their sound. Nope. Just heard more of the same melodies. The Everly Brothers definitely influenced future musicians, especially in the UK. There is too much filler on this album to justify its place on the list. Overall: 2/10
Very outdated songs, couldn't listen to them unfortunately.
Jesus, the lyrics on this are terrible. Almost as bad as the music itself. Definitely a product of its time, but even then I cannot see a time or place for this. Just beige pop for American retirement homes. Very dated. And there’s no excuse for it: just 4 short years later Velvet Underground were doing their thing. This record was of a same era as VU. I cannot get my head around that. Horrible.
Mercifully short, this music sounds like a completely different era, totally detached from anything I'd actively listen to. Very much the boy/girl band pop genre of the day, where the most important thing was they were good looking and inoffensive, and the music was irrelevant. Completely pointless.
This is so incredibly dated in the worst way. If I was a white bloke in the 60s I might have liked this but I'm not and instead think it's dog shit.
Fuck. Off.
This album really bummed me out. All of the songs were super sad lyrics and happy beats, which I usually love, but the sadness was mostly towards women's behavior rather than intrinsic self-hate and that's not my jam. I hope they found peace before they inevitably died.
So dated. Quite cringy. Ugh! Hard pass.
This has to be one of the most harmless album I've ever heard. It has all the edge of a sphere and as such was kinda boring. There was some interesting production choices when viewed through the lens of the time it came out but today is basic stuff. Not really doing it for me. Nazareth did Love Hurts better anyway.
Good news... harmonies. Bad news.... boring and juvenile lyrics.
I don't think I'm up for a second date
The first track just made me feel icky. The rest of the album doesn't improve much and the only thing going for it is that all the songs are under 3 minutes.
Songs to fall asleep to while driving on the highway
It's not an album I was Made To Love. Even though this album only clocks 28 minutes, every new song feels Just Too Much on whiteness and late 50's songwriting. Where the songs kept asking to Just Stick With Me, I couldn't help to Sigh, Cry, Almost Die with every note and harmony that was thrown my way. Even side B - with mostly songs written Felice and Boudleaux Bryant - could not give me a Change Of Heart. So How Come (No One Loves This Album)? The cover of Lucille tells the story. It's without power, without swagger. It's safe. It's plain-oatmeal-for-breakfast-music. The earliest rendition of the Bryant classic Love Hurts can't save the album either. So Baby, What Do You Want Me To Do? 1*
Meh, not my thing
In dieser Liste - und sonst auch - überflüssig.
There will be no second
If the only somewhat memorable song on an album is done a lot better by other people later, I don't think this album should be on the list.
couldn't finish
This is the drizzling shits.
Probably amazing in its day but it sounds old and I'm not having it.
I’m not a fan of this ‘rock around the clock’ 50’s/60’s teen boppy music at all. Every track on this album is as expected after listening to the first couple. They all stick to the same script and they bore me to tears. 1 Star!
Just sounds dated. So so so dated. Am sure it is good, just not for me.
No
Yeah... I mean.... yeah.
