"Definitely in my Top 5 albums of all time. The guitar music is great but the way it is brought across in broad Yorkshire accent and dialect is summet else. The way the stories are told in the lyrics is just how one of your mates would tell a story about one of his nights out."  Reply

"it took me til my 30s before I learned of prince’s virtuosity, but the dude was absolutely electric and it feels like he’s sometimes overlooked on all-time lists for best guitarists/musicians/artists. Even As a lifelong rock music audiophile his music eluded me until i saw a super fun prince cove..."  [+]  Reply

"I don't care what anyone says, this is a top 100 album of all time. No question. Hands down. Let's move on. It is so much better than many albums ahead of it on our website. Objectively I would put it in the top 50. Anyway, this is an album any fan of music should take in at some point. It is Ste..."  [+]  Reply

"It opens with a Chinese gong that carries its vibrations across Coltrane's saxaphone bursting through, with a light series of percussion gently bustling beneath, before the bass groove of his now signature "A Love Supreme" theme, a humble, beautiful dedication to God, casts its spell on the work...."  [+]  Reply

"Sonic Youth changed the way I saw rock music. I used to perceive it as a steady rhythm, with verses and a chorus. I used to play music in a very structured way during jam sessions that I had with friends, and to be honest that bored me, but I never thought to do anything differently because it wa..."  [+]  Reply

"Bruce Springsteen's most iconic album, and his breakthrough. It's amazing to think now, that he could have been dropped from his record label if this album had flopped. Fortunately for Springsteen and for us, it didn't, and we have one of the greatest careers in rock/pop music to enjoy. Born to r..."  [+]  Reply

"This album just supports my reasons why 1967 is the single greatest year of music; The Doors, Sargent Pepper, The Who Sell Out, Strange Days, The Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd, Aretha Franklin, Jefferson Airplane, and so many more."  Reply

"I will give it a week or so before giving it a score, because I don't want to jump to any conclusions first listen... that said, this is the first Radiohead release I've been apart of, and I've been blindsided. It's better than OK Computer, Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows. Only album I might li..."  [+]  Reply

"Every song is magical. This is album you really have to lose your mind to, it's euphoria, close your eyes, slow your heart beat and the 10 minute songs will pass over you like seconds. Surrender yourself and you will find a new world of music that hasn't been repeated by anyone, even Sigur Ros. S..."  [+]  Reply
