"The musicianship on this album is just astonishing. I really do think this is the punk masterpiece of the 90's and should be put on a much higher pedestal." Reply

"This first time I listened to this album I didn't exactly love it, but I also thought it was one of the better releases from Weezer. I really liked Everything Will Be Alright In The End, which was probably my third favourite Weezer album next to The Blue Album, and Pinkerton. After a few listens ..." [+] Reply

"Still remains my favourite Arctic Monkeys record. I dont know what it is but despite everybody seeming to write this off as their worst I've just been able to connect with each song really well. It constantly reminds me of last summer and of non-stop partying after finally graduating from high sc..." [+] Reply

"Who could of imagined that the missing ingredient to Kraftwerk’s Man-Machine was actually a French Woman? Those crazy Brits that’s who. Perhaps it took a little continental separation to realize that a chanteuse was the tonic to krautrock’s gin. Blend in secret weapon extraordinaire Mary Hansen’s..." [+] Reply

"All 3 of Jimi's studio albums are considered Rock essentials, but if you're a guitarist, I would call this record just as important to hear. Whether you agree with it or not, Jimi is consistently cited as the greatest guitarist of all time, and he proves it on his solos here." Reply

"Great debut album for Ozzy. Great name, great album cover, great music. Apart from the obvious fan favourites, there are some other diamonds on this album. Let's not forget the input of Don Airey either, who sadly gets a mention so small, that you need a magnifying glass to find it on the rear of..." [+] Reply

"Otherwise known as, security, Peter Gabriel's fourth album sees him expanding his sound and embracing more world music textures. Some excellent tracks in, San Jacinto, shock the monkey, and, wallflower, which is probably my favourite song on the LP. Some beautiful moments here. Another superb Pet..." [+] Reply

"I think most people on this site will have a band that they connected with significantly more than any others in their adolescence. When you're moving from the stages of just uncritically absorbing whatever's on the radio or whatever your parents play, to a point of having your own musical tastes..." [+] Reply

"The New York Dolls' first LP is a confident sounding release chock full of good rockin' catchy tunes. The band plays with a sense of wild abandon that is infectious." Reply
