"This album is part of my personal top 100 (which you can check out here) and normally I tried to include regular albums but sorry, here I had to choose a Greatest Hits album because none of the regular albums really stand out (maybe apart from 'The Kick Inside") and in reality Kate Bush's career ..."

"In my opinion this is a big improvement on modern times. Dylan's production, as Jack frost, is a lot less slick than it was on the previous album. He's still relying on way too many twelve bars but he obviously struggles to write songs these days. Best of the blues tracks is the mellow forgotten ..." [+] Reply

"Possibly my favourite band of all time. When I heard they were making another album I was a bit worried. What if it's crap? I was happy with their legacy. But not to worry, this is every bit as good s the two albums that preceded it (nothing beats Angel Dust). They didn't miss a beat.." Reply

"Have you ever thrown everything in your refrigerator between two slices of bread to see what it tastes like? Basement Jaxx probably do that every day for lunch. Gloriously overstuffed house music." Reply
"Mudhoney somehow gets overlooked when people give credit to 80s alt-rock pioneers. These guys are a tiny step behind the Pixies. This and Superfuzz are their best." Reply
