Daniel Boyd (1066 KP) rated Stone Roses by The Stone Roses in Music
Mar 6, 2018
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.

Ross (3284 KP) rated New Day Rising by Husker Du in Music
May 1, 2020 (Updated May 17, 2021)
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.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Born In The U.S.A by Bruce Springsteen in Music
Jun 29, 2020
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.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols by The Sex Pistols in Music
Jul 1, 2020
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.
