Rolling Stone's 296th greatest album of all time

I think this is the Smiths' album with the least of their good songs on it. The music is their typical style, with Morrissey's whining vocals on top, delivering fairly strong messages at times. Not a great listen for me.

Rolling Stone's 180th greatest album of all time

Decent Stones album, consisting mainly of cover versions. Weirdly this included my third version of Bo Diddley's Mona in about three days as part of listening to the 500 greatest albums (Quicksilver Messenger Service's version definitely the best so far).

Rolling Stone's 476th greatest album of all time

I quite enjoyed this album, good quality hip hop, though I think that was mostly achieved with guest vocals. Hypnotize and Mo Money Mo Problems are incredible songs and the rest was pretty good. Much fewer annoying interlude "skits" too.

May 6, 2020

Rolling Stone's 440th greatest album of all time

The Pogues' best known album featuring a number of good fun upbeat songs with a post-punk yet Irish folk feel. A mix of original songs, some traditional Irish folk songs and the famous version of the Dubliners' Dirty Old Town.

Rolling Stone's 424th greatest album of all time

This is a bit better for a Springsteen album. I still can't take to his voice but the songs are decent, a mix of blues, soft rock and the occasional pop song thrown in (drum machines and synth and everything!).
