My 1001 Albums Journey

Radiohead

2/5

I wanted to love this album. I came away not hating it. I found myself getting distracted during the album when I should have been listening. It was a bit “noodle” for my taste and didn’t really speak to me in any meaningful way

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

An album I was already familiar with. One of the most underrated bands and here they are in great form with great song after great sonng

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Strong opening which gave way to some self indulgent tracks but Kate is so charismatic she carries it off

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

1/5

Hated it. I really tried but it did nothing for me

Le Tigre

3/5

No expectations before listening- I’d never heard anything of them. Enjoyed it. Sometimes came close to being too clever but overall a good listen

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

One of the all time classic albums. Love it from beginning to end

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

4/5

Makes me want to stay up drinking

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

I actively disliked them as a teenager in the 80s. I was pleasantly surprised to hear some solid tracks backing up the hits. It will never be a favourite of mine but much better than I believed it would br

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Really enjoyed thia

Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera
