NO MORE BRITISH SHIT I HAVEN'T HEARD OF

The Coral

2/5

starting to dread hitting my submit button and seeing the random ass band I definitely do not need to hear before I die

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

1/5

This list really is way too heavily skewed towards average 70s-80s British bands. God I hated this album.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

The first half of this album is very good but the last 4-5 songs weren't doing much for me. He's just so damn talented. Clearly not his best album but still a great listen.

whoa - this album is incredible. I went through Santana's wikipedia and they legitimately have 60 former members

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

All Ratings

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

2/5

not my jam - I'd heard Fell in Love With a Girl and We're Going to Be Friends before and they're good songs but the rest is meh

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

First time really listening to the Kinks - groovy stuff. Victoria, Australia, and Shangri-La were super catchy.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

5/5

Honestly did not know the sex pistols only had one album. I didn't really know Sid Vicious' story either jesus christ. This album is great 5 stars would recommend

Abraxas

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

"She's a brown skin woman - but I love her just the same" Sorry Bob you're CANCELLED. I like Bob Dylan but I thought most of these songs were pretty average.

Dire Straits

3/5

I literally knew nothing about Dire Straits. Kind of surprised how much I liked Down to the Waterline but even Sultans of Swing wasn't really doing it for me. I'm just not a big fan of this genre.

Hms Fable

Shack

2/5

Who is Shack? Some of the songs at the top of the album are genuinely good but it kind of falls apart towards the end. If we are comparing these albums to the 1001 greatest albums ever I have to give them a 2

Queen II

Queen

3/5

I love Queen but had only heard maybe one or two of these songs before. Maybe I was disappointed that we got a Queen album but it wasn't one of their better known ones. Some songs were pretty good but I'll have to give it another listen sometime later.

Kenya

Machito

4/5

Don't have much to say - this was a pleasant listen. I wasn't paying too close attention and 4 songs went by before I even realized that it wasn't all one long song.

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

5/5

Fuck Facebook! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpDGJbC8RMo&ab_channel=MikeMcCarty I love James Taylor. Fire and Rain is an all-timer.

Homework

Daft Punk

2/5

Around the World is good I guess. You basically only need to listen to the first minute of every song. By the end of this album I was mostly annoyed.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

1/5

Trash

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

2/5

If Miles and his band were on stage and someone said "Hey play Pharaoh's Dance" would they even come close to recreating the song on the album? Wasn't really in the mood for experimental jazz - I got sick of this one pretty quickly

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

2/5

This album made me uncomfortable. Very confident I will never listen to this one again.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

The first half of this album is very good but the last 4-5 songs weren't doing much for me. He's just so damn talented. Clearly not his best album but still a great listen.

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

3/5

I hadn't heard any of these songs before - is it bad if all the worst songs were CeeLo by himself? This album was "fine"

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

funky funky album. Hadn't really heard any of these except Purple Haze and Fire. Just an incredible talent.

Boston

4/5

Love a nice short album that doesn't drag on with stuff I would never listen to

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

3/5

Not a bad listen. Kind of interesting that all these older albums always lead off with their biggest songs.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

These all feel like they should be on the Garden State soundtrack. It was a decent listen but I didn't hear anything that blew me away.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

3/5

Seems like we have been given lots of debut albums recently. I've never really been into Pink Floyd but hopefully some of their later albums pop up here.

Dummy

Portishead

2/5

whatever

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

I absolutely love Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' scores for the social network, mid90s and soul. I put it on as background music when I read. This album, not so much.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

Incredible album - Queen always puts me in a good mood. You're my best friend and Bohemian Rhapsody are both iconic. I also feel like I know a lot about this album because it was featured in the movie.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

great album - LOVE it's tricky

The Coral

starting to dread hitting my submit button and seeing the random ass band I definitely do not need to hear before I die

John Martyn

2/5

NO MORE BRITISH SHIT I HAVEN'T HEARD OF

Soul Mining

The The

3/5

I've heard This is the Day! It's the opening song to one of Amy Schumer's movies. I feel like all my reviews have been 2s or 3s lately. This was also "fine"

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

I hadn't heard this oasis album before but I really like them a lot. Great album

Cosmo's Factory

trash

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

DJ Shadow

3/5

never heard of DJ Shadow - building steam with a grain of salt was great and the rest was just ok

The Man Who

Travis

3/5

couple songs were catchy but nothing special

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

some of these sound like songs that would be playing softly in department stores. Still liked it!

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

2/5

i really like country music but more pop-country...less so this. I'd probably like listening to this live in a dive bar in Nashville but that's about it.

Fun House

The Stooges

3/5

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

5/5
