I actually enjoyed that one for its uniqueness. Also her voice with the African click speech in it is memorable.

I think when done I am going to relisten to the 1*s and see if I treated them too harshly on the day lol

That is a good idea. I just checked and this is my break down

1 = 14

2 = 108

3 = 175

4 = 119

5 = 28

Will probably do the 1 and the 5s again when it is done. Though I do listen to some of the 5's in my day to day now.

Just goes to show how subjective music can be. I personally cannot fathom how someone could think Sticky Fingers is a bad album, but that's because it's one of my favorites. Everyone has different tastes and that's what makes music so all encompassing and brilliant.

Yeah man, I just cannot stand the Stones. I know I am biased about it, but I just dislike all of their songs. I really tried to get past it with the records they have had on this list, and I have given different ones 2's or 3's, but overall, not for me and never will be.

Einsturzende Neubauten is not for the faint of heart, especially Kollaps. A more accessible album from EN would be Silence is Sexy.

One has to be in the proper mood, too.

My favorite is Halber Mensch, perhaps because it was the first I heard (on a college radio station - I miss those days). Tabula Rasa is a nice album for me because it has a nice mix of the ambient (Blume) and the noisy (Headcleaner).

Swans are another of those bands that I love, but find very few people in my circle who agree.

Rain Dogs is great. But, I could understand how you would either love or hate it.

I'm shocked that Mama Africa only got one star, I actually am listening to all the albums in chronological order (I do cheat from time to time and pick one at random), so I ended up listening to it in between albums of the same timeframe, now I'm wondering if it would have changed my perception of id listened to it among albums of a different time period, to me it seemed to really fit in with the other late 50s stuff.
