Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

All a bit meh.

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

I enjoyed that. I'd never heard it before, but could definitely see the influence on bands I like. Really enjoyed the title track.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

An absolute classic. I never get tired of listening to this.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

3/5

A couple of songs I liked, but most of it was just OK background music.

Scott 4

Scott Walker

3/5

I could see the influence on acts like The Divine Comedy, but honestly the act it brought most to mind for me was Mike Flowers. Just OK.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

4/5

Ananda Shankar

1/5

Did not like this at all.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

3/5

5 stars doesn't provide enough nuance for ratings. I've now given this the same as Cocteau Twins, even though I think it's better, but I gave Television 4 stars and I didn't enjoy it as much as that.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Just OK. Some good bits, some not so good. The good bits brought back good memories, though.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

Decent enough in a stick it on in the background while I'm making dinner kind of way.

The Stooges

3/5

This was OK, but probably not something I'll ever listen to again.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Debut

Björk

4/5

Liked this a lot more than I remembered liking it at the time.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

5/5

Loved this. Listened to it twice more over the weekend.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Good, but, like most double albums, if they'd taken their best songs and made a single album it would have been even better.

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

Hadn't listened to this in a looooong time. Don't really understand why. I loved it at the time and it's still great now.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

An undeniable classic. Always love listening to this.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

5/5

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

Ramones

4/5
