I never get bored listening to this album. It reminds me of so much and I can get lost in time listening to it. (2 more)
I love 'Green Eyes' it's such a great track.
Warning Sign, Clocks and The Scientist are also superb.
For me, the best Coldplay album for sure.

This album and 'The Blue Album' have some of the most generally recognisable Beatles songs, ones that have stood the test of time and are still played time and time again, in all corners of the globe. That is testament to the pure genius of The Beatles. (1 more)
Every song is superb.

Rolling Stone's 10th greatest album of all time
Superb, I think this double album really shows the Beatles at their best. From Back in the USSR to Blackbird, they wrote in such a variety of styles and tempos but always with a superb song as the result. A wonderful listen.

"If I ever make an album as good as this I’ll be happy for the rest of my life, probably. Danny Thompson [double bass player who played on Coxon’s ‘The Spinning Top’ album] is on it, and it’s kind of obvious immediately, his bass playing is amazing, everything just sounds perfect."

"This is on here because we’ve got a live album coming out and we want people to hear it. Sold Gold is from our last album and we just want people to hear it and appreciate it in its beauty, so we took the opportunity to put it on this playlist."

Rolling Stone's 372nd greatest album of all time
Superb second album by The Police, featuring the epic Message in a Bottle, the brooding reggae of Walking on the Moon and a good few other great songs. For me this was The Police (and lets face it therefore Sting) at their best.

Rolling Stone's 361st greatest album of all time
Great soft hip hop album, with more melody than a lot of similar acts, as sufficient focus is given to the music. Featuring the well-known Ms Jackson and a number of lesser known but great songs, particularly Humble Mumble and Slum Beautiful.

Rolling Stone's 357th greatest album of all time
Forgettable album by Jagger et al. I listened to the original issued version, rather than the US version which included "Lets Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday", which certainly would have helped. Without these, there is very little to remember here.

Rolling Stone's 334th greatest album of all time
Brilliant album, I would say reminiscent of Elvis Costello but I believe they emerged about the same time, Parker possibly slightly earlier. Still, that gives an indication of the style of music, being similar to Costello's early days. Great "diet punk" songs.
