Best album of the 80's shirley? 6 out of 5. Cemetery Gates the highlight. Tend to skip Never Had No One Ever but the rest makes up for it
Very pleasant but probably wouldn't go back to it. 3 stand out tracks
Good production v similar to Wu Tang. Bit too long
Good lyrics but most tracks are complete shite
Really like it but far too long
Never heard of em before. Very pleasant surprise
Somehow manages to be both interesting and boring
The 3ist of 3's I ever did see
First few tracks were superb. Fizzles out in the middle
Not my thing but v groovy
Gene Clark? More like Gene Wilder. Couple of decent tunes tbf
Never heard of this mob but v enjoyable
Top 3 Bowie album. Title track his best ever tune in my opinion. Golden Years, TVC, Word On A Wing all absolute bangers too.
Best of the jazz albums thus far
First ever listen but know the big tunes. Welcome To The Jungle is a work of art, one of the best album openers ever. Fucking love it.
Sweet Child has always pissed me off for some reason but appreciate why it's so famous.
Overall it's shit hot but not a 5 for me.
Free John Gotti haha. Cringe.
Abba innit. Can't give less than 3
Was gonna go 3 but ends on a big high
Bit try hard but pleasant enough background music. B Tec Stone Roses vibes.
Very beige album. Couple of decent tunes though. Enjoyed You Can't Say No Forever
Sounds like a FIFA soundtrack
A pleasant surprise. Some ballsy tunes
Prefer The Fat Of The Land but still very good. A 3.75/5
Was v tempted to give a 5. Very consistent considering the number of tracks
Some nice jams but yeah not for me
- Thunder Road - greatest song of all time by a considerable distance
- Tenth Avenue Freeze Out - an absolute bop
- Night - one of the more forgettable tracks but would be the standout on most other records on this list
- Backstreets - Up there with Thunder Road and Born To Run. 3rd best track on the album. Bruce at his very best.
Born To Run - Lovely stuff
She's The One - was never that arsed about this before but it's fucking class
Meeting Across The River - skippable
Jungleland - The bollocks
Had heard most of these from their greatest hits CD. Starts strong, but the last 5 tracks are crud
Always found it a bit over-rated but it's still a solid 3.5
Probably more of a 2.5. no tracks added to the playlist but appreciate the guitar work
No Born Slippy - no party
Love Tuesdays Gone thanks to Happy Gilmore. Likewise Free Bird which was the perfect soundtrack for running over prostitutes on GTA
Really not sure an hour of 90s Madonna is needed but wasn't too bad
Oasis are the best band of the 90's, but this is the best album of the 90's.
Mis-Shapes - 10/10
Pencil Skirt - 7.5/10
Common People - 10/10
I Spy - 10/10
Disco 2000 - 10/10
Live Bed Show - 8/10
Something Changed - 10/10
Sorted For E's and Wizz - 9/10
F.E.E.L... - 9/10
Underwear - 10/10
Monday Morning - 10/10
Bar Italia - 9/10
Great tunes packed with witty lyrics from start to finish.
Cracking vocals from our George
"After all the feces they dumped on my species" is a jokes lyric
Added barely any tunes to the playlist but it's interesting enough for a 3
One of the first albums I ever listened to #fact not quite my style but it's iconic and the big tunes are absolute belters
This is the kind of weird shit I signed up for
V good added most to the playlist. Favourite track Couldn't Get Ahead
Feels weird not giving Bowie a 5 but I've never been a huge fan of this. 3.5 rounded up.
Not for me but can see why it's on the list. Who Are You This Time nest track
Very pleasant and very boring
Pills Thrills Bellyaches is far superior but still a solid 3
Typical 90s shite. Awful decade
Really good this, folk-reggae-libertines vibes
First time listening to this. Can see why it's so highly rated
I'm due a watch of The Wicker Man
Pretty good actually but gets a bit tedious
My third favourite Smiths album, but still a 5. Was gonna go 4 before listening but the guitar work and lyrics alone make it a 5/5.
Run To The Hills is an absolute tune
Good to hear Scando music outside of Eurovision.
Was gonna give up 3 tracks in but Seven and Triangle Walks are both superb. Turned out pretty good.
Vikings is fucking sick.
Narrowly escaped a 1 star this did
My kinda vibe but lower end of 4/5. Clearly inspired by Pet Sounds
Pointlessly long and all sounds the same
Fucking love this. Makes me wanna get a horse
Soft-rock cocaine enthusiasts Fleetwood Mac. An easy 5/5 but it's a shame Silver Springs isn't on there in place of Oh Daddy.
Nirvana: Unplugged should be the only live album on here
Find his stuff interesting and unique but not for me. Clap Hands added to the playlist
Really wanna give it a 5 but it's not something I'd add to my record collection. Thriller/Beat It/Billie Jean is a GOAT three in a row.
The Girl Is Mine gave me AIDS. Worst thing he's ever done and I've seen Leaving Neverland.
Another pleasant surprise
Speakerboxxx shits all over The Love Below but definitely a 4/5. Roses obviously the overall highlight.
Lower end of a 4. Mostly above average tracks with a couple of belters
There Goes The Fear is incredible
Narrowly missed out on a 5
Fucking love this album. Buzzing it popped up as I don't listen to it often.
1. Born In The USA - ironically this is the track that put me off Springsteen for so many years, assuming he was a boring dad rock patriot berk. Couldn't have been more wrong 8/10
2. Cover Me - One of his all time classics 9/10
3. Darlington County - It's very cheesey but good fun 7/10
4. Working On The Highway - As above. Chorus is v catchy 6.5/10
5. Downbound Train - A welcome change back to more classic Springsteen vibes with lyrics that paint a picture 9/10
6. I'm On Fire - Noncey lyrics, always found it a tad over-rated but it's v good 8/10
7. No Surrender - a stone cold banger 10/10
8. Bobby Jean - Best track on the album and top 5 overall, fucking love it. Especially as it's written about Steve van Zandt leaving the band <3 10/10
9. I'm Going Down - Another classic 10/10
10. Glory Days - Another in the good kind of cheesey category 8/10
11. Dancing In The Dark - Not enough guitar for me but it's incredible 9.5/10
12. My Hometown - A perfect ending 9/10
Higher end of a 3, nearly 4
Finally some fucking Beatles. It's impossible to choose a favourite Beatles album but this is one of the very best.
This is the one where they transitioned from the poppy boy band into cool as fuck absolute #lads. The drugs came in and their music changed for the better.
1. Drive My Car - classic opener 9/10
2. Norwegian Wood - First of many Beatles sitar tracks and easily the best 10/10
3. You Won't See Me - Lovely stuff from our Paul 9.50/10
4. Nowhere Man - Lennon delivering another 10/10
5. Think For Yourself - Lovely bit of guitar 8.5/10
6. The Word - cool as fuck and good fun 9/10
7. Michelle - used to think this was about a monkey playing piano 8.5/10
8. What Goes On - Not Ringo's finest hour 7/10
9. Girl - bonus points for saying 'tit' 9/10
10. I'm Looking Through You - always been a favourite 9.5/10
11. In My Life - The best song ever written 11/10
12. Wait - Another worldie 9.5/10
13. If I Needed Someone - Them harmonies though 9.50/10
14. Run For Your Life - For fuck sake haha 6.50/10
I should really give this a 4 based on individual track ratings, but the peaks on here are elite. Probably 5th or 6th best Bowie album. Life On Mars aside, Queen Bitch has always been the highlight for me.
1. Changes - usually skip this because it's so overplayed but it's shit hot 9.5/10
2. Oh You Pretty Things - a highlight 9.5/10
3. Eight Line Poem - Doesn't do it for me 5/10
4. Life On Mars - possibly the best track of the 70's 11/10
5. Kooks - used to find this kind of annoying but it's harmless enough 7/10
6. Quicksand - forgot about this 8.5/10
7. Fill Your Heart - quirky 7/10
8. Andy Warhol - It's alright 7/10
9. Song For Bob Dylan - another classic 9/10
10. Queen Bitch - Top 10 Bowie tune 10/10
11. Bewley Brothers - Love it man such a unique track. Starving for me gravy - 9/10
This is absolutely sensational. Can't fault it in any way whatsoever. Gotta be a 5 all things considered
This has aged terribly. Shite like the Debt Collector and Far Out.
The highlights (Parklife, End Of A Century, To The End) are just about enough to give it a 4 though.
Oasis shit/shat all over Blur, from a massive height.
An unexpected 5. Every track added to the playlist
A genre-bending masterpiece. A work of art.
1. Back In The USSR - Madness of an opener 10/10
2. Dear Prudence - And a banging follow up 9.5/10
3. Glass Onion - Not a favourite but a big tune 8/10
4. Ob La Di - a marmite Beatles track, I fucking love it 9/10
5. Wild Honey Pie - have a weird soft spot for this 8/10
6. Bungalow Bill - as above 8.5/10
7. While My Guitar - A triumph from George the #lad 10/10
8. Happiness Is A Warm Gun - One of Lennon's finest 10/10
9. Martha My Dear - The best of 'Paul's granny shit'. 8.5/10
10. I'm So Tired - A big tune 9.5/10
12. Blackbird - Genius in it's simplicity 10/10
13. Piggies - fucking weird man haha 6/10
14. Rocky Racoon - paints an interesting picture 8.5/10
15. Don't Pass Me By - a right old thigh slapper 8.5/10
16. Why Don't We Do It In The Road - a fairly average Beatles track 7/10
17. I Will - delightful 9/10
18. Julia - classic 10/10
19. Birthday - it's alright 8/10
20. Yer Blues - aye class 8.5/10
21. Mother Nature's Son - As above 8.5/10
22. Everybody's got Something To hide - ballsy 8.5/10
23. Sexy Sadie - big tune 9/10
24. Helter Skelter - colossal tune 10/10
25. Long, Long, Long - absolutely fucking love it v underated 10/10
26. Revolution 1 - The original version but not the best 9/10
27. Honey Pie - inoffensive 7.5/10
28. Savoy Truffle - one of my least favourite tracks 6/10
29. Cry Baby Cry - Lovely tune 8/10
30. Revolution 9 - once is enough really ain't it, only listen to it cos it's long skipping a track on the vinyl 4/10
31. Good Night - A perfect ending, reminds me of something from one of the proper old Disney films 7.5/10
V close to a 5 faded toward the end
My kinda vibe. Mad vocals and heavy guitars but something missing
First 3 tracks were brilliant. The rest was bullcrap.
Everybody Wants To Rule The World is an 11/10 track. Rest of the album didn't do much for me
Some nice beats but mostly shite
Lower end of a 4. Lacks the bangers of Urban Hymns and all a bit samey
Have to give a 5 considering I added 99% of tracks to the playlist
Never heard of them before but a pleasant surprise. Smiths/Cure vibes
Far too much Rod on this list. Celtic bastard
CREAM is a masterpiece. GOAT hip hop beats throughout the album.
Bowie's 90's/00's albums are shite but this was a fine return to form and a near perfect send off
First listened to this years ago and never quite got it. Revisited recently and it's probably an all time top 5 album. Best tracks 1. I'm Waiting For The Day 2. God Only Knows 3. I Know There's An Answer
Wouldn't It Be Nice 10/10
You Still Believe In Me 10/10
That's Not Me 10/10
Don't Talk 9/10
I'm Waiting For The Day 11/10
Let's Go Away 10/10
Sloop John B 10/10
God Only Knows 11/10
I know There's 10/10
Here Today 10/10
I Just Wasn't Made 10/10
Pet Sounds 9/10
Carolone No 10/10
Makes me wanna play Tony Hawk's 3
Fades a bit toward the end but deserves a 4
Slow Jamz mate what a banger
Class as usual from Bob but not as keen on the later gravelly vocals
A very pleasant experience. I thought Tracy Chapman was a white bloke until about 2015
Quirky like Bowie but nowhere near as cool
Literally every song is a banger. An unexpected 5
GOAT male vocalist. Crap, cheesy album.
Guess I don't get Beck. Dull
Not quite a 5. How Can You Sleep is a tune but a needlessly brutal dig at Macca
The best collection of Christmas songs of all time. Darlene Love steals the show though.
Every year its the same fucking boring debate about what the greatest Christmas song ever is. At least 6 tracks on this album are streets ahead of anything shat out of Mariah Carey or even Wham.
Was gonna swerve it managed to get through it all. Fucking superb effort for nearly 3 hours 👏
Stuart Pearce has seen this mob live over 1000 times.
Psycho clearly has impeccable taste 👌
An hour of white bloke reggae ffs
An easy 5.
Always preferred London Calling but difficult to compare to as they're so different.
Blokes from Sheffield signing in an American accent
Reminds me of Rubber Soul
Bonus point for best album cover
Coldplay are shit. This is not shit.
From the singles I've heard I'd always assumed Kiss were the worst band of all time. Some decent tracks on here though
Quite obviously a 5.
1. Come Together - First favourite Beatles track 10/10
2. Something - George masterpiece 11/10
3. Maxwell - Gets a fair bit of unfair hate 7/10
4. Oh Darling - An all time great in terms of vocal performance 8.5/10
5. Octopus's Garden - >>>> Yellow Submarine 9.5/10
6. I Want You - Big and ballsy. Could imagine another album full of tracks like this if they stayed together 10/10
7 . Here Comes The Sun - 11/10
8. Because - 8.5/10
9. You Never Give... - Best track on the album 11/10
10. Sun King - Albatross inspired goodness - 8.5/10
11. Mean Mr Mustard - Good fun 9/10
12. Polythene Pam - As above 9/10
13. She Came In... - And again 9/10
14. Golden Slumbers - Fucking class 10/10
15. Carry That Weight - Belter 10/10
16. The End - The love you take is equal to the love you make ✌️ What a way to sign off 10/10
Nandos music? Completed it m8
It's The Jam m8.
Clear Beatles influences dotted which I'd not noticed before.
Down In The Tube could well be the best British track of all time.
Top bird with a cracking set of...
Lungs.
Under The Bridge feels v out of place on here.
Mostly shite.
Nearly gave a 2 until Die in the Summertime, which slaps. Over-rated.
Blueberry Hill is a banger
Sounds like Eels shagged Oasis
All downhill after the opener
Lots of faffing about but otherwise v good
The filler is properly crap
Weird one this because I wouldn't listen to it again, haven't added any tracks to the playlist... but it's very good
Another Girl... is a banger. Some brilliantvtracks toward the end
Bit more boring than expected
Tremendous album. Bridged that gap between The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys
Didn't expect to give a 5 but here we are
I don't get it. You Can Call Me Al is a banger though
Very close to a 5 falls a bit short second half
First track v good. The rest is utter shite
Nearly gave a 1 after first few tracks
Title track is sensational
6/5 club. Complete perfection.
The 6 standout tracks are just fucking unbelievably good.
Not their best, picks up second half
Nearly fell asleep on the M25 listening to this
When you press the demo button on the keyboard at school
"I'm similar to a squirrel, looking for a slut with a nice butt to get a nut"
Modern day Shakespeare.
A pleasant surprise. Don't love it but added 90% to the mega playlist
Wednesday Week is incredible
Feels weird giving Weller less than a 4 but there's some shite on here
Not my favourite theirs but given a 5 for cultural impact
Not into the slower stuff
First time listening. Had it on loop flying back from Malaga at 3am after a long weekend on the piss. Slept most of the flight but whenever I'd wake up, every track was sensational 🤌🏻
Best track = I Don't Mind
All I know about this bloke is that Sonic Youth stole his watermelon in The Simpsons.
Holy shit it's George Harrison
The best opening lyrics to an album ever and that us a stone cold fact.
It's a difficult album to rank because Kinky Afro, Loose Fit and Step On are all 11/10 tracks. But the rest of it hasn't aged very well.
Will give a 4 out of respect for the sheer amount of drugs they've done without dying.
Some tunes on here but feels 10-15 mins too long
Was hoping the rest of this would match up to Layla but it doesn't quite manage to do so
Thought I'd hate it. Didn't hate it.
Was gonna give 1 but solid vocals
A bit too Nu/Rap Metal for me but KITNO is a banger. Couple of other good tunes too.
Incredible. Love it.
Notched a mark off for the number of cover songs. Mockingbird stolen from Dumb and Dumber for example.
Ohhhhh Michael van Gerwen
Feel sick not giving a Smiths album 5/5 but it just doesnt quite reach the heights of their previous work
Wont listen again but v good
Favourite Rolling Stones album so far
What in the 1999 is email my heart?
As with a few other reviewers. I *should* really like this band but there's something missing. Still a very good album.
Always loved Big Sur but never listened to the album. This is Sue Perb stuff.
Interesting vocals but quite tedious
