5/5

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is one of the greatest album ever recorded.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

5/5

I wont jump on the bandwagon and bash Oasis here, but Supergrass were criminally underrated and deserved just as much hype as the top 4 britpop bands. This is a gem.

Would she go down on you in a theater?

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

5/5

Sarah Cracknell, Pete Wiggs and Bob Stanley. What a legendary trio and everything they've ever touched is brilliant. This might be my favourite Saint Etienne album. Think it's been 4 years now since i saw them in Leamington doing their Foxbase Alpha tour. What a brilliant concert. Played this album from start to finish. It has the perfect balance of different genres. There's a bit of trip hop, dub, "britpop" (before it existed as a term) and electronic/dance/house. Also, it's got the best cover ever; Only love can break your heart. Fun fact: the girl featured on the album cover (not a part of the band) can also be seen in Pulps video for their song Babies. Oh, and if you haven't already, check out at least these albums by this very same band: So Tough, Sound Of Water, Tiger Bay and Good Humor.

Fats Domino

4/5

Can't go wrong with Fats. It's funny how its close to impossible to navigate through his album during the 50/60's. All named similar and with his wonderful face on the album covers.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

Groundbreaking concept album that blends glam rock with a futuristic narrative. The album's mix of theatricality and musical innovation cements its place as a timeless classic in rock history. However, it's not my favourite Bowie album. That's probably Low or Station to Station. Still, a high 4.

A Wizard, A True Star

Todd Rundgren

5/5

This is a bold and eclectic masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of rock and pop. S psychedelic journey, weaving together diverse musical styles and surreal soundscapes, showcasing Rundgren's experimental genius. It's just so unpredictable that i have to give it full marks.
