A Modern Classic
Very few albums manage to successfully capture the mentality of a generation and give so many people something to care about. This is what the Stone Roses did in 1989 with their eponymous debut album.
This album is more than just music, it is a feeling that was captured and put to music. Inspirational to no end and iconic to this day. An absolutely fantastic first album that deserves its legacy and is still relevant in today's musical landscape.

Rolling Stone's 488th greatest album of all time (428th in the 2020 list)
This album and I have a bit of a past. I like some Husker Du, but I really want to love them. The thrashy guitars and wailing vocals tick my boxes. But this album just seems to be those and very little in the way of a song, and I found it largely unpleasant listening. I am hoping Warehouse or Candy Apple Grey are higher in the list.

Rolling Stone's 86th greatest album of all time
As a child, I used to look at the album cover and wonder why a man would go around with a gammon steak hanging out of his back pocket. I'm glad I never tried to replicate this look at a school disco.
The album includes more of Springsteen's hits than his other albums I have listened to. His voice still grates on me, being a low quality Dylan impression at times, and generally indecipherable.

Rolling Stone's 41st greatest album of all time
Apart from maybe Dookie by Green Day this is by far my most-listened album in the top 500. So many excellent angry punk anthems and so much anti-establishment sentiment packed in to an album that leaves the listener somewhat breathless by the end. They may have been manufactured to an extent but they absolutely nailed the mood of the nation of the time, and lets face it, of the now as well. Superb.

"It’s the seminal punk rock album ever and it's the album that inspired 10,000 punk bands. It's so minimalist and raw - the production and even the way it's recorded and mixed, with the guitar panel inside the bass and drums. It clocks in 23 minutes or something; it sorta set the tempo for at least one thang that punk-rock would become. The lyrics were sort of cartoony but they also had this stern attitude. It's the classic classic punk rock album."

"This album wraps me up just like Carroll’s fur jacket wraps her up on the cover. This album takes care of me and walks me home. Everything is rounded and wholesome. Everything is like a warm bread roll. If you’ve fallen out of love, this album makes you fall back in. When I put it on, I wave my head around and close my eyes. Every time Carroll plays live, I’m too scared to go and see her. I love her too much."
