Been listening to a lot of Bowie. Hunky Dory is probably a 10 for me.

The definitive "Brit-rock" album. Nothing in the 90's Britpop boom (even from my beloved Blur) ever topped this. 10/10.

Had to use this adorable alternative cover. So this one goes to 11 and is still probably one of my Top 5 albums, definitely Top 10. To borrow a phrase from Madonna, truly an Immaculate Collection of songs. Ball and Biscuit has to be considered among the greatest songs of all time, and would be a great song to bang to, although perhaps not on your first try...no one lasts 8 minutes on their first try.

9/10 [re-listen] Their masterpiece. I found this tidbit interesting: The Blondies were tough in the studio, real tough. None of them liked each other, except Chris and Debbie, and there was so much animosity. They were really, really juvenile in their approach to life—a classic New York underground rock band—and they didn't give a fuck about anything. They just wanted to have fun and didn't want to work too hard getting it.I thought that they actually got along .

One of their handful of masterworks and few bands can claim a handful or masterworks. 10/10

I'm one of those who easily recalls this albums release and therefore the incredible impact it made commercially and in popular culture, and the reception it got critically. I just gave it a 20th anniversary listen, and boy has it's impressiveness not dimmed at all, and is it worth it's reputation. It really is a shame that she never followed this up with a second album, and I kinda doubt she ever will, but boy has she left a musical legacy with this and The Score. Top Tracks: "Lost Ones", "Doo Wop (That Thing)", "Everything Is Everything" & "Tell Him" 9.5/10

I'd never listened to this before, as rap has never really been my genre overall. When it came to rap and hip hop I would almost always have been a listener of individual hits songs, rather than whole albums. Perhaps I need to re-visit more of these classics, as this is a great album. Top Tracks: "It Ain't Hard to Tell", "Halftime" & "The Genesis" 9/10

Hm, Them Crooked Vultures album is probably one of the last albums I listened to. I'd say it was a 6/10 maybe, fairly good but should really have been better given the members.

I had Iron Man stuck in my head, so I thought I'd revisit the whole thing. What a work of art this is. I can't not give it a 10/10 and it is easily one of my favourite albums. I'm not even gonna do top tracks, as they are all pretty much bang on the money. I suppose "Electric Funeral" might be my least favourite, but this is along the lines of it being the least nice cake in a shop of lovely cakes, so no biggie.

So this was released 20 years ago tomorrow and I would like to say it divided Pumpkins fans, but that would imply that 50% of them liked it, and I really do not think it was the case. After the rip-roaring commercial and critical successes that were Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie, this stripped back, almost entirely acoustic album seemed to alienate fans, and it was just too much of a change in sound for the majority, even if a good handful of songs from Mellon Collie, including 1979, would have fit well enough into Adore.The album did well enough critically and was a modest commercial success, but after the previous two albums, it was still considered a bit of a failure.
Personally, I have always adored it (pun fully intended). It is breathtakingly beautiful music, and lyrically it was the best stuff Corgan has ever written. Songs like Once Upon a Time, For Martha are not just two of the best songs Corgan ever wrote, they're two of the best songs anyone has ever written. In terms of popular music, the juxtaposition of extremely powerful lyrics against quiet and mellow sounds is something that has always worked for me, and I have never heard it work anywhere better than across the scope of this album. It's a wolf in lambs sheep's clothing.
I think time has thankfully been kind to this album, as it seems to have been re-evaluated massively in the eyes of Pumpkins fans, and I think the vast majority now see it as the masterwork it is.
Personally, I go back and forth, on which Pumpkins album is my favourite, but his is always one of the three I consider.
Top Tracks: Once Upon a Time, For Martha, Tear, Pug, Ava Adore, To Sheila…all of them pretty much.
10/10
