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

I listened to Blue and Exile non stop when they first came out, still like both, especially Exile...not too familiar with Tool...where you around when Blue and Exile were released ? ... I was big fans of both artists from the beginning, and my interest started to fade for each, after those 2 albums...

“Full disclosure I love female vocalists…”
How does such a sexist qualification necessitate a preface of “full disclosure…”?
Full disclosure: I abhor sexism.  
Do you refer to “male vocalist” as if it’s a “genre” or do you just call them “vocalists? (because that’s what they are, right?)  Would we categorize and label Black Sabbath and Exile on Main Street as “male rock albums,” or just “rock albums” (because that’s what they are, right?)

These are much more interesting questions to me than whether someone likes something.  
P.S. you already had the right answer when you said, “it’s all subjective.”  There’s nothing wrong with you for not liking a thing. You don’t have to like it. FWIW those are two of my favorite LPs but…who cares what I think? Nothing I or anyone can say will cause you to be moved by something that doesn’t move you.

Music touch us so deep precisely because it is in a way unique for each of us and personal...

It is why there is no unanimous jazz album that do it for eveyone , the same is true in classical music or in sitar ragas interpretation ...

We all recognized geniuses unanimously but we differ between us about the impact of this or this musicians...

Why Chet Baker is so important for me and Bill Evans way over other names ?

It is not right or wrong just they speak as language akin to my own soul more easy to understand ..

I don’t get Blue either and I love Joni Mitchell.  For the Roses, Court and Spark, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira and Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter are all outstanding and get a lot of play on my system.  Maybe I need to revisit Blue, but it’s just never clicked.  Exile on Main Street is a great album but would tend to agree with you that Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, and Sticky Fingers are better imo.

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.
