"One of their best albums! The combination of the the acid house and dance music in Ibiza with the signature New Order sound equals something magical. Favorites are well, the whole album! Probably the most cohesive album from them" Reply

"So I'm currently working at an Applebees as a server. They have one of those TouchTunes jukeboxes and I just downloaded the app for it. That way I can play music without being judged by others for my superior taste. Around 11 PM I played "Stagger Lee" and followed it up with "O'Malley's Bar." It ..." [+] Reply

"My Morning Jacket is about as close as one gets to a true twenty-first century arena rock band that I actually like. Of course, that's because these Louisville, Kentucky, natives are so much more than mere Skynyrd or Van Halen knockoffs. Even though their live performances include the light shows..." [+] Reply

"Cannot decide between this and Pornography. Both are masterpieces of the darkest and the most "goth" Cure period. Holy Hour against One Hundred Years, All Cats Are Gray against A Strange Day and so on..." Reply

"It's easily the best Sabbath album with Dio, and maybe even one of their overall best. It might even be Ronnie James Dio's best work. This and Holy Diver anyway. Ozzy being kicked out of Sabbath was the best thing ever. We got Blizzard of Ozz and this beautiful album out of it." Reply

"Along with, ray of light, like a prayer, is Madonna's best album. Usually with Madge, there are great singles but albums always tend to have a bit of filler on them. Not here. Having said that the singles are still the strongest songs; cherish, express yourself, and the title track are perfect po..." [+] Reply

"Quite possibly my favourite album ever, speaks to me like no other album ever has. Imposible to say how much this album means to me, soundtrack to my teenage years and still relevant now. I can see why some might hate this album but at least give it a try it might change your life." Reply

"Cream's true masterpiece and along with Layla, Clapton's most relevant album, this is a really underrated record which shows the band mastering the blues and transitioning it to the sound that would later be part of the sound of Zeppelin, Purple and Sabbath, although the live recordings are too m..."

"They broke all the rules. A completely timeless masterpiece, and a wonderfully made album. No end of great songs. Highly recommend to anyone who likes avant-garde, or psychadelic, or punk, or really anything. It's just good." Reply
