Album Rating
Rolling Stone's 495th greatest album of all time
This is only album number 6 on my trek towards listening to all 500 of Rolling Stone's greatest albums. Already I am wishing I had opted for the NME's top 500 instead, as this really isn't my bag. But the main reason I am doing this is to find hidden gems I had never heard before, which is more likely to happen listening to RS than NME.
The album title was one that stuck in my head because it really made me start to think about giving it up, coming hot on the heels of Boz Scagg's album. The 10 song mix of country and jazz really seemed to take forever to pass. There were some more bluesy songs that were listenable, but the majority not to my tastes at all.

Album Favorite

"A real teenage classic, very American rock album. I don’t know much about the band but I loved ‘Blister in the Sun’ and ended up getting the album taped off someone. I was into this at the same time as the Cure stuff and I just used to play it all the time. If I ever hear a song from this album randomly, I can just start joining in with all the lyrics; it’s imprinted on my brain. I remember thinking that a song like ‘Add It Up’ was really sophisticated and kind of had a whole story to it, which definitely influenced my own songwriting. It’s full of great songs, and there’s an incredible song at the end of the album ‘Good Feeling’ that is kind of like a great ballad Lou Reed never wrote."
