"The Doobies would probably not be anybody's list of important or influential artists but this is my favourite album at present. I was drawn to it by the hit singles China Grove & Long train Running but soon found there was so much more. South City Midnight Lady is Patrick Simmons' greatest song a..." [+] Reply

"Most solid Slipknot work, achieving what the band tries to do the best. Still, not the greatest thing you've ever heard, that's for sure." Reply

"This album won the British Mercury Music Prize Album of the year, beating Radiohead's OK Computer and The Verve's Urban Hymns in the process! Definitely worth checking out if you appreciate electronic music like The Chemical Brothers or Prodigy" Reply

"I heard only recently "Casanova" in its whole, after having heard and read that the album is often considered the best from Divine Comedy.

"This is ranked below Avenged Sevenfold? That's stupid." Reply
"Some absolutely dynamite songs here. Sweet Transvestite and Time Warp are probably the best known, but Susan Sarandon's rendition of Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me is smoking hot and Meatloaf's Hot Patootie is superior to anything he did after. But what makes this a great all around album is probably T..." [+] Reply

Albums like this are not made anymore: the moment I bought "Troublegum" it grabbed me by the throat by its sheer energy and it has continued to do so since then. This album doesn't contain one lesser song..." [+] Reply
