Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Their masterpiece, highlights how different the individual members had become but at the same time their individuality compliments the album. McCartney at his most creative (the final medley from golden slumbers to the end especially , George with possibly the 2 best songs on the album and Lennon throws In his usual quirky genius (I want you and come together

Some sort of mix between Bowie and Pink Floyd. First half was very good, second half reminded me of The Wall.

3/5

Some brilliant songs, Sara in particular but a lot of over worked stuff by Buckingham and a double album was a bit self indulgent. Could have had a super album with half the tracks

Some sort of mix between Bowie and Pink Floyd. First half was very good, second half reminded me of The Wall.

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

2/5

It was nice, I enjoyed it kinda, she has a great voice. But pretty much every track becomes indistinguishable from each other and found myself impatient for it to finish in the end

Africa Brasil

2/5

Only half listened

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

4/5

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Packed with classics. The title track, I'm on fire, no surrender, glory days, dancing in the dark, my hometown. One or two weaker tracks but overall brilliant

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

2/5

More lounge music

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

1/5

Just awful. Maybe one track that could be described as an actual song, human cannonball. Oh and the other song where they just said cunt the whole time. Painful

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

3/5

Nice , couple of great tracks, grounds for divorce is my favourite on it. Stars off well but a big lull in the middle before ending well

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

3/5

Enjoyed it even if the lyrics were nonsense, the music was good!

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

First half really good, shirt snappy rock tunes. Tails off towards the end bit overall enjoyed i

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

4/5

Brilliant. The title track is a classic, stolen child, bang on the ear, their version of sweet thing all brilliant. Overall enjoyed it a lot

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

I really like the soun although, it's very very dark, almost like a soundtrack to a futuristic sci fi movie. Prefer side 2 to side 1, especially tracks like shadowplay, she's lost control and interzone. Not an album I'd just throw on to listen to music, and perhaps slightly monotone but no denying it's brilliance.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

That sort of ok if semi-bland mid to late 90s American rock that you would find in every teen movie/tv series of the time. Nothing awful, nothing great. The kids hanging outside Todds in their black hoodies and pink hair would love it

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

3/5

Sound is cool, can see it's influence on lots of other bands and genres. Lyrics are a tad one dimensional, they love singing that they have the funk. Enjoyed it.

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

3/5

Good

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Opens up with a classic in them bones, and liked the first few tracks but then it just got a bit more sludge and wasn't too gone on second half

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

3/5

Shredding guitar virtuoso from mustaine and Friedman. Really good, great sound but tracks can blend into each other.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

gets a 5 for immigrant song alone.. brilliant and not even in my top 2 LZ albums

Shadowland

k.d. lang

3/5

Nice easy listening country

Hypnotised

The Undertones

3/5

Some cracking tracks, always really good snappy hooks. But quite a lot of filler tracks that sound like a 14 year old wrote them. And what were they thinking with the under the board walk cover...told you so, my perfect cousin, there goes Norman are the standouts

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Enjoyed parts, music is good but an hour and half of Marvin complaining about his ex wife was just too much

Machine Head

Deep Purple

4/5

Ritchie blackmore at his finest

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Some brilliant stuff, prob a tad long.
