"This was the album that got me into music. I found an old scrathed cd of it in the garage one day. For some reason I decided to put it in a cd player even though I was never really in to listening to music... Then the whole album electrified me. Megadeth really nailed this one. They took a more c..." [+] Reply

"In the spring of 1994, a group of friends and I followed Uncle Tupelo around New England on what turned out to be their final tour. They were playing small venues then, so much so that by the third show, they were giving us comp tickets and inviting us to join them on their tour bus to play Sega ..." [+] Reply

"While they had been produced by Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie for almost all their previous work, Lush teamed up with Mike Hedges on this record, and the result is clearer and tighter, and no less potent. Guitars (and vocals) keep building and building to wonderful effect. The 'Split' in question ..." [+] Reply

"So right now A Day In The Life is the best song by The Beatles, The 8th best song by The Beatles, and the 19th best song by The Beatles. Literally why." Reply

"I immediately fell in love with this record on my first listen. Even though it's just Balkan folk sounds re-imagined as indie music, there is something brilliant in its novelty (at least to someone who doesn't otherwise listen to Balkan folk)." Reply

"Tom Petty's debut album is full of enjoyable unpretentious rock'n'roll. Featuring some good songs; breakdown, and, anything that's rock'n'roll, are fine, but without doubt the best track is the superb, American girl, still Petty's best song in my opinion. Petty would go on to make better albums(D..." [+] Reply

"One of those unforgettable records from the mid 80's. Great tracks include What's Love and Better Be Good to Me. Turner's career restarted with a vengeance thanks to this one and it was fun watching that." Reply

"Borrowing elements from folk, country, blues and tex-mex, Townes Van Zandt's poetry is emotionally intense. His gentle acoustic style has a unique desolate quality to it and his stories are simultaneously intimate and universal." Reply

"Dreamboat Annie is one of the strongest debut albums in the 70s. Very unusual at a time when disco was becoming popular and hard rock was literally an all-male thing. But what really made this album unusual was the mixing of heavy rock with sweet, orchestral ballads. The album truly sounds like a..." [+] Reply

"A fantastic, laid back, a cool album for any possible listening situations: on the porch, in the sun, in the sunset or for late nite sittings with a glass of wine or a jar of scotch. Fantastic, criminally underrated in BEA" Reply
