"no comments at all on this album? makes sense, people were probably listening to it, ready to comment, then suddenly found themselves in a steamy, salty, nine-hour sex marathon. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LISTEN TO VOODOO." Reply

"Another album that gets low ratings on this site, and I suspect I know why. I remember when Lana Del Rey played "Video Games" on Saturday Night Live, a performance panned by critics and viewers who want female singers to dress titillatingly and give over-the-top live performances like those on Am..."

"In 1972 Steely Band, when their debut album "Can't Buy a Thrill" was released, the group was a real band and not just Becker / Fagan with handpicked back-up musicians. The lead vocals are not all sung by Donald Fagen, who leaves some of them to singer David Palmer. In fact two of the very best so..." [+] Reply

"Amazing amazing amazing ! I mean "Thrasher", "Powderfinger", "Pocahontas", "Sail Away", and both the opening and closing "Hey Hey, My my" are all immaculate and just absolutely powerful and emotional. This is a classic." Reply

"I purchased Tubular Bells in 1983, ten years after the release of the album but I didn't even have a turntable on which to listen to it. I can't remember exactly why I bought it other than seeing the cover at a record shop and thinking it looked really cool. Perhaps the attendant at the store men..." [+] Reply

"I remember when Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds toured this album. Theyopened with Into My Arms and Cave had a terrible time with the first line "I don' t believe in an interventionist god" it took him 4 or 5 gos to get through it and ages to complete the song. Had seen him live a number of times but..." [+] Reply

"This album was nearly as mind bending for me as Kid A the first time I heard it. I had never heard anything like it before. The perfect mix of excellent straightforward songs and brash experiments still resonates with me in a big way." Reply

"REM's fifth album, sees the band starting to lean towards the mainstream, at least in terms of commercial success. Document, is similar to predecessor, life's rich pageant, in that it's predominately a rock album, but this record has a bigger, fuller sound. It kicks off with an REM classic, fines..." [+] Reply
