Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

Like they tried to write a classic album by focus group. Aside from "Only living boy in New York" it has no conviction, and left me cold.

Debut

Björk

2/5

Doesn't have the same affect as Sugarcubes for me, and listening 27 years later feels like there are 100 albums that have mimicked it more successfully.

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

Started listening thinking Id hate it but a great album- even the ubiquitous songs that you've heard 1000s times of before sound better as part of an album. Glad to be proved wrong.

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

Sounded great 20 years ago, still sounds great today. Very good album.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

2/5

Pleasant enough listen but a bit too of its time - last few songs went nowhere

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Pleasant surprise again - doesn't sound dated at all, and some real top tracks.

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

4/5

Never even heard of these but absolutely loved it. Like listening to one of those albums as a teenager where you just wanted to know more about them and listen to everything. Fantastic.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Not a huge fan of RHCP, but I've loved this album for about 20 years despite that. As close to a 5/5 as you can get with being 5/5

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Ballsy move having 10 minute opener but a brilliant album made by total individuals.

E.V.O.L.

Sonic Youth

2/5

Never clicked with Sonic Youth, but I can see the draw and the uniqueness of them. Enjoyed the album but like always, nothing stood out.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

Amazing album. Should devolve into meaningless trite but as good as it was 25 years ago.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

3/5

I can appreciate the song writing and talent behind the album, but it just doesn't connect at all.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

2/5

I really wanted to like it - I love the opener but the rest of the album becomes a bit of a chore. You can appreciate how they opened the door but its just a bit to girl band at times.
