Homework

Daft Punk

1/5

If I wanted to hear the same bullshit on repeat for an hour I’d speak to my wife

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

5/5

Stunning. A prefect work of art. The man was 19 when he composed the album and it took him 6 months. An absolute masterpiece

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

5/5

Loved it. Never listened to an entire Doors album. This is down to my assumption that they were pretty depressing to listen. I’ve been missing out though. It had everything, and Maggie Magill the last song was sensational

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

Hold back the rain was brilliant. New religion bass line is incredible. Overall enjoyed

Elvis Presley

3/5

Tutti Fruiti really enjoyable. One sided love affair is powerful too. Overall didn’t enjoy as much as I thought.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Very bleak and a hard listen. I appreciate the influence had on many of the bands I dig like Nirvana. An early indie inception of NIN. Lacks the teeth of it industrial baby. Isolation stands out.

Street Life

The Crusaders

4/5

Brings back memories of listening to crusaders and George benson on tape in the car. A lovely funky jazzy Motown album that was a joy to listen to

Achtung Baby

2/5

U2 in their prime. Still not enough for me. A handful of decent tracks but nothing to blow your socks off

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Despite being one of their most acclaimed albums, it’s one of my least favourites (of there’s). That being said, it is still incredible and a truly masterful piece of work. They don’t make music like this anymore

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

2/5

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

2/5

A pleasant listen but nothing more

No Other

Gene Clark

2/5

Nice and folky but just more background music for me. Wasn’t blown away by any of it.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

5/5

Stunning. A prefect work of art. The man was 19 when he composed the album and it took him 6 months. An absolute masterpiece

...Like Clockwork

Queens Of The Stone Age

3/5

It was underwhelming to say the least. The last 2 tracks were the best - a very good vocal performance from Homme on the title track. Overall not their best work

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

Appreciate it’s a classic but I don’t particularly enjoy Paul Simon. An easy listen. He went to extreme lengths to record this in Africa due to the conflict so kudos for that

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

1/5

Not my scene. Couldn’t get into it and it all felt all over the place.

Diamond Life

Sade

2/5

A pleasant listen but not my thing

The Modern Lovers

3/5

Enjoyably, more so than velvet underground. Quite a distinct twang in the guitar sound which was nice

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Superb. Not quite a 5 star experience but there isn’t anything to crumble about.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

5/5

4/5

The Blueprint

JAY Z

4/5

I prefer The Black album, but still an outstanding piece of work

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

Massively enjoyable album. I felt a lot of emotion throughout. I don’t know for sure what story the album was telling, but it was well told that’s for sure.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

3/5

I just couldn’t get into it. Wanted to enjoy it more than I did. I think they had a lot of sexy times whilst making this album
