I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue

I love to listen to great podcast/interviews with great musicians. Last night i listened to Rick Beato interview Maynard from the great band Tool. Besides being a fantastic conversation, Maynard told Rick the two most influential albums for his music inspiration are Joni Mitchell Blue, and Black Sabbath's first self titled record.

I understand and love Black Sabbaths first record, but I have listened to JM Blue countless times and just don't understand what the hype is. Full disclosure I love female vocalists, and I also love Joni's  Court and a Spark. With that said I have heard many musicians rave about Blue. Please enlighten me-what am I missing ?

The other head scratcher for me is Exile on Main Street by the Stones. Again I have heard many musicians rave about this double album. I don't get it... Beggars Banquet-Let it Bleed-Sticky Fingers are so much better in my opinion, but just like Blue, It seems like musicians much prefer Exile on Main Street.

I know its all subjective...but these are two records I have never learned to appreciate. Thoughts ?

I was...I love both Joni and the Stones. The above mentioned records were far from their best in my opinion. The point of my post is that countless times I hear an interview with a great musician...these two records are often mentioned as their inspiration to make great music.

I'm certainly not saying their wrong... I'm just saying I missed the boat on both of these iconic records.

Your obviously new to music forum conversations. Female vocalists are often referred to by that description. There is no slight or bias when that phrase is mentioned.

But your one of those woke idiots that wants to turn everything into an argument.

What makes music special is that its usually exempt from all the political bullshit.

Please refer to my original post...and if you have nothing but your woke agenda to contribute....go away you troll.

My Lord even the Audiophile world is infiltrated with these poison minds that want to wreck everything.
