Rolling Stone's 107th greatest album of all time
Brilliant collection of soul classics. I found Cooke to be similar to Frankie Valli - you have no idea how many of their songs you know until you listen to a greatest hits like this and there are so many memorable songs.

Rolling Stone's 61st greatest album of all time
A great introduction to the funk-rock of S&TFS, but i would encourage anyone interested to listen instead to Stand!, Fresh or There's a Riot Goin On, as they have a lot more substance than just scratching the surface here.

"The likes of which I had never heard before - white soul boy funk - it was a great album for a party soundtrack and hash joints. I just love the mad percussion and pseudo African backing vocals, though I don't have a clue what Mr. Byrne is singing about."

The Bends by Radiohead
1995 | Alternative

"The Bends is the best Radiohead album. It is. This is right when they started distilling their songwriting, right before they started experimenting with OK Computer, which is a brilliant record too. But to me, The Bends is as good as it gets because the songwriting is impeccable.”"

"“I hate it when people say there’s an individual album that they really like, ’cause I always think they don’t get it like I do – I suppose everyone thinks that though. Probably Love, ‘Forever Changes’, a lot of people know about that anyway, though the young’uns might not."

This style should never die!
Love this album so much, the track Once In A Lifetime is a superb example of why the Talking Heads are such an original and unique sounding band. Their blend of post-punk and preppy pop is something that no one can equal- Brilliant!

In terms of female-fronted indie bands - this is it. Ida Maria is incredible. This entire album is a huge exploration of what women can do when they feel like it. In a male-dominated and saturated platform, she really stands out as one of the greats!
