Legacy
In 1998, the album was polled as the 23rd on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music).[2]
In 2015, the album was pronounced the 13th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav albums published by Croatian edition of Rolling Stone.[3] The magazine wrote:
Passionate rock, with tense vocal chords, tons of sweat and emotions had its amount of "perverted imagination and sordid passions". Actually, there was nothing perverted and sordid in the songwriting of talented Bora Đorđević, who, in the songs of outstanding emotional realism, mentioned and accurately revealed the "dark sides" of life, the twosome, man-woman, and society in general. Brilliant, perspicacious lyrics about the life in a "big dirty city" [...] on Pokvarena mašta i prljave strasti resulted in one of the best albums of
yu rock, expanding the thematic circle of Đorđević and Čorba from their superb debut, Kost u grlu. Huge commercial success - fueled primarily by exquisite songs which became the new standard - led to recording of following albums, Mrtva priroda and Buvlja pijaca, with foreign producer, but raw sound of Pokvarena mašta was the perfect outlet for Đorđević's songs, which, alongside the growing repertoire of Branimir Štulić, during those years swept away everything in their path and marked the establishing of a great new talent [...] Pokvarna mašta is the peak of neorealism of domestic rock, not new wave, but "black wave", some sort of equivalent to Žika Pavlović and the 1960s films of Serbian Black Wave.[3]
In 2015 Pokvarena mašta i prljave strasti album cover was ranked 18th by
