Surprisingly good, and all-star guest appearances

Smash

The Offspring

5/5

Best selling independent label album for a reason

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

3/5

Crude to be sure.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

A few great songs and some meh.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

Disregarding the bonus tracks (overdubs/alt versions/etc). Doesn't quite have the same magic as contemporary Beatles

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

4/5

Beginning to confirm my assumption that live recordings are better if you haven't already heard the studio version. Length is not helpful to a few of these, but they're quite good otherwise

Dire Straits

5/5

Sultans of Swing is fantastic and the rest are good.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

2/5

A few gems, but otherwise feels a bit like it was written in a van down by the river under a bridge. With lots of heroin.

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Tom Sawyer, YYZ, and Limelight are solid tracks

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

Bowie X Clash. Weird, but good. Peaches and London Lady esp.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

4/5

Heard a few of these before. Good stuff

Le Tigre

3/5

Fan of Deceptacon. The rest is lots of repetition and less substance than I expected from Bikini Kill alumnae.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

2/5

Alright, but nothing special.

Teenage Head

Flamin' Groovies

3/5

Cool bluesy rock. All of it is pretty good, but few stand-out hits.

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

A few goods, but nothing mind-blowing.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

A great decade album. Mr Blue Sky is fantastic

The Doors

Astonishing for a debut. A cultural colossus.
