"Neil Young's Unplugged performance comes at a good time in his career when Harvest Moon was just released and he was performing with The Stray Gators.

"Heavily influenced by The Stone Roses, Some Friendly also added The Prisoners, Julian Cope, and Echo & the Bunnymen to the mix creating a vibrant and sussed encapulsation of Madchester before it died." Reply

"If you’ve listened to Mothership Connection and passed on this, you’ve made an error. Funkentelechy easily blows MC out of the water. MC doesn’t have anything half as good as “Flash Light”, for starters." Reply

"It's been a up and down experience for me with this album. I was really disappointed initially. After a few listens, there's a few good songs here and a really cool vibe, but it still doesn't feel like a Gorillaz album. Instead, it's a Gorillaz inspired mixtape." Reply

"During Big Pun's unfortunately short lifetime, he released only one album, 1998's "Capital Punishment," and with this one release he amassed the reputation of one of New York's greatest MCs ever. Listening to this album, it's not hard to see why. Pun shows simply amazing technique, lyricism, and ..." [+] Reply

"Why in the world is this album ranked number 108 on THIS YEAR'S list? This album is one of Rush's best, full of challenging instrumental passages, wonderful strings, and some solid melodies on songs like "The Wreckers". Rush haven't been very melodic in the last 15 years, but they seem to be turn..." [+] Reply

"Who are you, is one of The Who's weakest albums, it's obvious that Pete Townshend is struggling for inspiration, and in truth, the band should have knocked it on the head after the, quadrophenia, record. Opener, new song, is extremely disappointing, a song about having nothing to write about, it ..." [+] Reply
