"Postcard album from britpop era. Remember well Animal Nitrate, the Drowners and Metal Mickey pumping from the loudspeakers from now long extinct indi/alternative clubs down here in Melb. City of 4 million virtually bereft of anything but top 40 and rnb thesedays." Reply

"I remember the first time I put on the album I turned it up pretty loud and the horns on Starlings scared the shit out of me... ahaha. FANTASTIC record. Heard it once and fell in love immediately." Reply

"Faith No More was formed in 1982, but it took them a long time to get their lineup straight. After going through numerous lead singers (including Courtney Love), they found Mike Patton, who took the band to a completely different level, particularly on the single "Epic" from The Real Thing. Angel..." [+] Reply

"I'm surprised this isn't ranked higher. A terrific record where every track is killer, an extreme rarity in the pre-Pet Sounds/Revolver music landscape. Sinnerman is the obvious highlight, a truly incredible and moving epic." Reply

"This album is an absolute masterpiece, and has a sound like no other album ever released, even by Neil himself. You can truly feel raw emotion here, and this is definitely Neil's most emotional album. After the loss of Daniel Whitten, Neil recorded this album on one dark night in 1972 in only one..." [+] Reply

"I don't comment on here too often but really wanted to give my opinion on Auntie Diaries and some first impressions of the album. Obviously can't speak for any other trans or queer people but there's so much I love about Auntie Diaries and I think it tackles ideas around prejudice, tolerance and ..." [+] Reply

"Underrated album, The first Stones album that was just flat out in your face rock...fav song: "When the whip comes down"...by far their biggest album (8M copies)due largely to the controversy of the song "Some girl" with the lyric "...black girls just want to get F**ked all night"..many chains to..."

"A most unusual debut album for Waits- hardly indicative of his material to come, though perhaps topically relevant. Pretty much in every subsequent album, Waits sounds as if he's getting drunk at a bar. Here, he's already been there and done that- the album's title "closing time" couldn't be more..." [+] Reply
