The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

This incarnation of Radiohead is great songwriting before they started to branch out with more experimentation. The songwriting is rock solid and Street Spirit is one of my favourite tracks of theirs

...And Justice For All

Metallica

5/5

Classic thrash metal. Doesn't have the melody or nuances of some of the other metallica record but it's all about the riffs. Solid riffage for some long ass songs. Great record but they needed to turn Jason's bass up.

Barry Adamson

1/5

I don't know, is this pulled from a clips of a movie or something. It doesn't belong here, it belongs at a 20 year old art students weed party

Rush

3/5

Musicianship is outstanding, def a 'musicians band'. Alot of 80s feel with the synths used but it's still rock at it's core. The song YYZ was a big showmanship of all 3 of the musicians, all top of their game. I'm not a huge fan of Geddy's voice so can't see myself digging into the band too much besides the hits.

Classic for me. Great riffs and Dave emerging from his Nirvana chrysalis

Tapestry

Carole King

3/5

Some solid songwriting and excellent production. Turns out I knew half the record because it’s half hit songs. I would say 3.5 for me

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

4/5

Nice warm classic rock, some cool bass and guitar licks. Production reminds me a lot of early Sabbath/Bowie. Little bit hippy and whimsical of the time. Road trippin music.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

5/5

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

classic blues, Holds all the vibes. Really takes you back to what the 60's concerts were like with the screaming girls and chit chatting to the crowd about relationships. Super chill. 3.5/5

Moving Pictures

Rush

3/5

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

2/5

It was alright but not really my kind of jam.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

I have rumours belted into my head so this album just doesn't seem to hit the same heights. Some really nice sounds and harmonies but the songs never really hooked me in.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

2/5

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

3/5

This is what jazz sounds like. It's jazzy and smooth. Unfortunately I don't feel like listening to this as I work without a glass of whisky and a cigarette

Tracy Chapman

3/5

A few big hits and some really nicely written songs. Solid production but I'd probably just chuck on the classics

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

1/5

I don't know, is this pulled from a clips of a movie or something. It doesn't belong here, it belongs at a 20 year old art students weed party

Cypress Hill

4/5

Distinctive, cruisy and just great beats/samples. Reminds me of high school. How I could just kill a man is my fav track

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

3/5

Easy listening, Streets of Your Town is a classic.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

Some nice late 90s rock with a great pop sheen across the top.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

2/5

Pretty smooth and chilled. Not really sure about adding it into this list but whatever

Foo Fighters

5/5

Classic for me. Great riffs and Dave emerging from his Nirvana chrysalis

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

Hard riffs, stripped back blues. Simple drums that complement the brilliant songwriting. Another classic. Jack white is a legend

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

2/5

It’s super 80s and I’m not sure how I feel about it in this list?

Kala

M.I.A.

3/5

Production is great, nice time capsule of party vibes from my 20s.Paper planes is a solid jam and quite the standout. Decent but I don’t know if it should be in the 1001 of all time

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

This has some mastery of production and filling of sound. I will only give it three stars though because it's so short, it's pretty much an EP. Careful, this is baby making music

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

Enjoyable album, great voice

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

3/5

Trippy psych rock electro, very chill. I liked it, reminds me of stuff I used to listen to at my sharehouses on a sunday after a big night

Da Capo

Love

3/5

It's alright but it doesn't quite hold up compared to other 60's psych such as the 13th floor elevators. This is more of a basic rock feel.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

I had this CD in my car for ages. The Chemical Brothers are GODS in their field.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

Nice smooth 60's.

The Stooges

5/5

This album is cool as shit. Have heard it before and still holds up nicely

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I hadn't listened to this album since it first came out. It's well produced with some really great songs. Nice snapshot of that era

Stankonia

Straight FIYAHHH 4.5

The Bends

Queens of the Stone Age

5/5

What a cracker of a first album. Still lots of Kyuss vibes but completely Josh starting something fresh.

System Of A Down

4/5

Frantic, melodic, heavy, political, fun, weird. I listen to this when I work out because it's got it all. I always liked the heavy factor when I was younger but I can appreciate the complexity these guys put in. Toxicity they really came into their own but this album is still great, therefore 4 stars

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

Classic. WMGGW is my fav.

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

2/5
