Ross (3284 KP) rated The Neil Diamond Collection by Neil Diamond in Music

Jun 5, 2020

Rolling Stone's 224th greatest album of all time

I was dreading this, as Sweet Caroline is played at every Scottish wedding, birthday, christening and probably a fair number of funerals. I can't stand it's cheesiness, with accompanying drunken "bah-bah-baaaaah".
However, as this is the first track the pain is over quickly and the rest of the collection is OK, generic 70s rock.

Rolling Stone's 191st greatest album of all time

Still not the Stooges at their Raw Power peak, but this stands out so much when compared to so much of the early 70s rock. Starting to blend from rock and roll / psychedelic rock to what would become punk it is a very good listen and has a key role to play in the development of punk rock.

Rolling Stone's 162nd greatest album of all time

Quite simply one of the best albums of all time. Right from the off it is a collection of fantastic intelligent 90s indie anthems. What few lower moments there are provide a welcome moment to recover from what had just been experienced. Paranoid Android, No Surprises and Airbag are some of the best British rock songs ever.

Ross (3284 KP) rated I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight by Richard & Linda Thompson in Music

May 4, 2020 (Updated Apr 8, 2021)

Rolling Stone's 471st greatest album of all time (485th in the 2020 list)

It's hard to say whether I dislike country or folk more. This was less horrid than some of the country I have had to listen to, but still not enjoyable. Quite slow and dirgey at times, while there a couple of memorable songs, the final stages is very slow and not enjoyable.
