Really good album. Bob Dylan is a poet, and while not a good singer, the delivery of his lyrics makes up for it tenfold.
I don't know the history or what happened after this album(need to do my research), but I can see how this might have influenced later punk and art-rock.
This was my first time listening to a true funk album, and holy shit are my eyes opened. I will start a deep and extensive journey into this genre cause jesus this is such a good album.
I don't like this style of music so take this with a grain of salt. BUT, Coldplay is just milquetoast and boring. There is so much out there that sounds like them and your life won't miss anything if you don't listen to this album.
She may not be the best vocalist or have made the best pop music of the 80s. But you can't deny that Cyndi Lauper made her mark on music and is a very important marker for pop music overall.
If you’re looking for the best of the best of Fleetwood Mac it’s not here but it is still better than a lot of other rock records.
This was an interesting album. I wasn't expecting these white boys to have so much soul. The instrumentation was interesting, with good lyrics and great vocals, it turned out to be a great album.
What an incredible experience. The emotion in this album is phenomenal. The writing is incredible, both the lyrics and the instrumentation. Amy Winehouse will always be missed.
These are some of the only white guys besides Eminem who can do Hip-Hop justice. The ability to give reverence to a genre while not being of that culture is tough, while also making songs that can be very humorous. They strike the balance perfectly. They really fit into a style I call scumbag music. After 40 minutes, it has started to all sound somewhat similar though.
I tried listening to it but from a modern perspective, it just sounds like any generic indie rock album and I got bored. Before I got bored it was pretty decent but I don't think I would come back to this for a long time.
A good and important album. Without the genius that is David Byrne we wouldn’t have the art rock/pop scene we have today. But with all that this album was only great not the best of the best.
Sting can write a hell of a song and Stewart Copeland is one of the best drummers of all time. Even if you can sometimes tell that this album was made by people who didn't like each other, it all comes together and works.
This is the type of jazz that people make fun of. An hour of just improvised piano with the occasional moan is not interesting. The piano playing is great, but at the end of the day, you can go to any jazz bar on a random Wednesday and hear something just as interesting. The story is cool, but it's not enough to save my boredom.
I like that we later went on to sue Donald Fagen; that might give this album another star.
Damon Albarn is such a good artist. Blur is a great band and a good album but I still think Damon has some better stuff in the Gorillaz discog. All I could think of while listening to this album was how much I want more Gorillaz to be on this list.
No one does emo rock like Robert Smith and the rest of The Cure. The total bleakness of this album gives me a sense of awe. I hope to never be as sad as Robert Smith, but if I am, I know what band to go to.
This is one of the biggest "if" albums I have ever heard. It has some really cool ideas and has all the pieces to be a good album theoretically, but it just comes out boring and bland. All of these ideas have been done better by others who came before and after.
I don't listen to Electronica really outside of live shows and whatnot, but this album was great. A true landmark for the genre. The soundscapes on this album are something to marvel at. The samples come together to create truly ethereal songs that Twigs puts some great vocals on top of. If you don't like electronica, I get that, but to cast it fully aside is a mistake, for you could miss out on incredible music like this.
I love this album. Joel just has this certain lyricism that is hard to replicate. The piano playing as well is great, so are the rest of the instruments.
