"I know I might get a lot of crap for this, but as my chart suggests, this is my very favorite Roger Waters album with or without Pink Floyd. The only exception is The Wall, but even that gap has gotten closer recently. I find it amazing and somewhat sad how relevant the album continues to be toda..." [+] Reply

"Initially a Steve Winwood solo record, John Barleycorn must die(great title) eventually evolved into a Traffic album without Dave Mason. Based on the traditional folk song of the title track, Traffic produce what is arguably their most consistent album. Great songs in, glad, freedom rider, empty ..." [+] Reply

"First Swans album i can just put on and dive into. It sounds like a harder and noiser type of post-punk music. Much easier to listen than other albums." Reply

"I love this album. It is the best dire straits album even though it contains none of their hits (Which were too commercial for my liking). Communique is understated but is the perfect blend of Knopfler’s guitar and vocals, and Wither’s drums. I have listened to it 100s of times and never been dis..." [+] Reply

"Wow! Almost 50 years old, and this is magical. As of now it's in my top 3 of 1969. And sure I haven't got that much of that year as well as the decade under my belt, this album is pretty mind-blowing and I am able to pick out the influences from this piece." Reply

"Running on Empty is probably Jackson Browne's most universal album. Its a rare live album of new material and many of the songs focus on life on the road. Some of the songs are even cleverly recorded in hotel rooms and the tour bus and that only adds to the appeal. The title track remains a stapl..." [+] Reply
