The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan

Rolling Stone's 97th greatest album of all time

Good Dylan album, probably the best so far. Unfortunately it started off odd because I couldn't help but think of Me First & The Gimme Gimmes version of Blowin in the Wind. Otherwise a good album.

Rolling Stone's 374th greatest album of all time

Interesting Roxy Music album, opening with their biggest hit "Love is the Drug", and that style is continued for the remainder of the album. Unusual musical stylings at times, especially Ferry's vocals, but all enjoyable.

Rolling Stone's 199th greatest album of all time

I have to say the album title nailed my first impression of the album, having been told it was amazing. Soma and Last Nite aside, it is fairly bog-standard modern lazy garage rock.

Rolling Stone's 451st greatest album of all time

Superb album. You would be forgiven for thinking this was a greatest hits collection, holding so many massive hits, and very little by way of "album tracks". Such an epic talent sadly gone too soon.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica by The Ronettes in Music

May 8, 2020 (Updated Apr 7, 2021)

Rolling Stone's 422nd greatest album of all time (494th in the 2020 list)

A nice album of typical Motown songs. A few well-known classics, sadly I had just listened to a double-album of the Supremes and this paled in comparison.

May 8, 2020

Rolling Stone's 414th greatest album of all time

Great new wave album, including the original version of "Our Lips Are Sealed", made more famous by Fun Boy Three. That sets the tone for the rest of the album, being typical 80s fodder.

Rolling Stone's 137th greatest album of all time

Superb early punk album. I've listened to this album a few times recently after discovering Bastards of Young on a punk playlist on Spotify and being obsessed with it from then. The album varies in style from faster songs to a few plodding much poppier songs, but the whole thing is a delight.
