Rolling Stone's 2nd greatest album of all time
Fantastic album, and one I have spent a lot of time listening to. Indeed, on this listen I immediately went back and listened to it again. From the sublime Wouldn't It Be Nice, to the sombre Don't Talk and the story of Sloop John B and the uplifting I Know There's an Answer (or as I prefer, the Hang on to Your Ego version). Every song is a singalong classic and I would encourage everyone to give this a few listens.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Louder Than Bombs by The Smiths in Music
May 14, 2020
Rolling Stone's 369th greatest album of all time
Good compilation of early Smiths classics, featuring the superb Panic, and a number of their other well-known songs - Ask, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, William It Was Really Nothing and Pleasex3 Let Me Get What I Want.
At times, Morrissey comes across as an annoying whiney child, and even looking at the song titles bears this out. I do wonder if he was breast-fed too long maybe.
Overall a great album if you can give him a little leeway with his whining.

Rolling Stone's 223rd greatest album of all time
I really don't like U2. But I have come to realise it is the 2000s version of U2 I don't like, when they became self-righteous hypocritical parodies of a rock band.
This is a decent rock album, enough to keep the listener engaged between the bigger songs.
Disclosure: I realised listening to this I have never heard the full version of Sunday Bloody Sunday, only the chorus, and Richard Cheese & Lounge Against the Machine's cover. I didn't recognise it for quite a while.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Quadrophenia by The Who in Music
May 28, 2020
Rolling Stone's 267th greatest album of all time
I haven't seen Quadrophenia so this was a new experience for me. The soundtrack album had a bit of a Bat out of Hell feel to it, very "rock opera" in style. Great songs telling a story, which means at times the song gets a little abandoned for the sake of the story. But with Townsend writing it all, this was less of an issue here. Great songs well performed. A nice change to have Townsend on vocals at times.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Reasonable Doubt by Jay-Z in Music
May 29, 2020
Rolling Stone's 250th greatest album of all time
Fairly tedious hip hop debut by Jay-Z. Most of the lyrics are about making money (legally or otherwise) or spending it. Most songs include lists of designer labels, Cristal etc etc. I think this set the mentality for the next generation of rappers, and while there is at one point a note that "crime is bad", it is fairly well hidden and the rest of the album does somewhat glorify crime and set the goal in life as being "having things".
