'Classic Albums' that really aren't that good

[LeicesterMackem]

TBH I find it a bit overrated. It's no Blonde on Blonde

As I was saying....I think lyrically it's his most accessible and direct stuff stuff, the first 5 songs are f***ing genius, and the second 5 aren't too far behind.

Obviously fashionable in the stinking pubs of Westgate Road circa 1974.

Show a clip of the crowd going absolutely apeshit. Says it all really.

 

[Shelley Levine]

Almost hate saying this cos he's the best of all time, but What's Going On by Marvin Gaye is not all that

Polar opposite view for me - greatest album ever recorded by a country f***ing mile.

You knew you were so wrong you couldn't even finish the sentence

I'll not take any lessons from a Rod Stewart fan, sunshine

Which Marvin Gaye albums do you prefer? Love his stuff, but What’s Going On would still be my number 1 comfortably. Trouble Man maybe my second favourite.

My views on Rod's early output are from an entirely objective viewpoint

Bat out of Hell. Horrific. Meatloaf stole a career.

OK Computer

I thought this until about 3 months ago when I listened to it for the first time in 20 years. It's f***ing astonishing to me. Easily one of all-time favourites now.

I’m gonna go right out on a limb here and just mention that Abbey Road is probably my favourite Beatles album.

Mine, too.
Lennon hated it, mind. Especially the 2nd half.

Astral Weeks is one of my favourite albums.

I didn't like it that much the only time I listened to it. Moondance, however, is easily in my top 10.

Exile on Main St.

The Stones are an all or nothing band for me. They have some of the greatest songs of all time - dozens of absolute bangers.
But I've never actually liked more than half of any album of theirs.

Seen a video of Brian Joneston last week. Massive gig in river plate. He was wearing a old man hat, waistcoat with no top, baggy stonewashed jeans and shiny cumbersome caterpillar boots. He looked ridiculous

That's his attraction for me. Looks like he should be chanting in a working man's club. Salt of the earth is old Brian

Dark Side of the moon

Exactly this. Music for wa**era to w**k to

 

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

Exactly this. Music for wa**era to w**k to

Listen to it while you’re stoned

 

[burro nunn]

Aquarium by Aqua

Doctor Jones and Turn Back Time are absolute tunes

Exactly this. Music for wa**era to w**k to

An argument carries more weight if it’s legible.

 

[muggboots]

anything by radiohead and red hot chilli peppers spring to mind.

I couldn't agree more about the Peppers but you will be hunted down and dispatched like an escaped pig for the Radiohead slur.

Edit: due to alcohol I appear to have arranged for your capture and subsequent posting somewhere rather than killed. Consider that a very lucky escape.

You spelled 'professor' wrong in your actual user name there mate. A bit of humility wouldn't go amiss

Anything by Bowie.
