Old Bob is born! Comparisons to his 1960s classics become irrelevant and pointless. These are songs his younger self couldn't have written. Clearly, Dylan's elder years were going to be captivating.

One of the albums that sounded the deathknell of britpop. And it sounded brilliant.

Working on the Beatles' Anthology, Paul McCartney was reminded of the impossibly high standards of his former band. Recorded sporadically over a period of four years, "Flaming Pie" was a timely reminder of why we loved him in the first place. A real gem of an album, in which even the "lesser" moments contribute to its overall charm.

Over-rated to a ridiculous extreme, this is one of the best albums of 1997. Nothing more. A good, one-mood-with-different-tempos album.

One of the most fun and entertaining albums by a band that regularly excelled at fun and entertaining rock music (with an edge).

Ridiculously self-indulgent (those song lengths!), over bloated to an extreme (that compressed sonic attack!), but, but, but... the songs are there (Noel), and the vocal delivery (Liam) is fantastic.
