Motorhead have one song, then endless, watered down copies of it.

Dizzee Rascal
1/5
Absolute and utter dross. Honestly, why this sort of abject shite gets hyped up by swathes of actual grown adults is beyond me. Yobbish, dumb and painfully monotonous.

Dexys Midnight Runners
1/5
God awful vocal style shits all over a clearly talented band. Why you'd throw a microphone at a guy having a stroke rather than ring 999 is beyond me.

Just another mediocre wispy female vocal. Not much to get excited about.

Some merit in it vut zero chance it'll ever be back on my speakers.
Youssou N'Dour
1/5
Absolute meandering nonsense.
Beatles
2/5
Some good tracks but a lot of nonsense as well. Still beyond me why so many people are obsessed with the Beatles.
The Prodigy
4/5
Still sounds great.
Khaled
2/5
First track started promisingly but quickly descended to warbly dross.
The Triffids
2/5
Boring inoffensive middle of the road pop.
Sonic Youth
2/5
Too much of it goes nowhere and the singer is a wet flannel.
Bob Marley & The Wailers

Half the songs are copy paste instrumentallly so is fairly boring. Marley is great vocally but it's nothing too exciting.
Lenny Kravitz
3/5
Cringey lyrics but solid enough tunes.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
3/5
Great musicianship and song writing.
George Michael
3/5
Perfectly fine.
Moby Grape
3/5
Typical 60s pop rock.
Prince
2/5
Couple of decent tunes but mostly just insipid filler from a predatory, sleezy midget.
Frank Ocean
2/5
Not for me. Tedious to sit through.
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Excellent.

2/5
Barely above background computer game music.
Harry Nilsson

Good at what it is but never going to put it on intentionally.
Sheryl Crow
2/5
Well put together but pretty generic.
The Crusaders
1/5
Totally naff.
Radiohead
3/5
A lot of cool stuff on it but also too many tracks that don't really go anywhere.
Aerosmith
4/5
Excellent. Proper rock.
Oasis
2/5
Shit guitar work, laughable drumming, same naff guitar fills on every tesious song, same song structure every time and all fronted by a whiny, borderline retarded wankbag. Hated them then, hate them now.
LL Cool J
1/5
Pretty shite. Run of the mill, cliched, insincere tat. Mr. Cool wreaks of desperation, wanting to be in the cool gang but probably spend his high school years playing Warhammer.
David Bowie
3/5
Far better than I expected, musically diverse and unpredictable.
Ravi Shankar
1/5
Been thrown into this list to tick a genre box. Absolute wank.
AC/DC
3/5
Solid with some outstanding songs but very formulaic so becomes pretty repetitive.
Billy Bragg
1/5
Was a 2 star until I learned all the lyrics were just nicked from someone else. Commie bastard.
Joni Mitchell
2/5
She has a great voice but all the falsetto vocal breaks evey other line is pretty jarring.
The Yardbirds
2/5
Not great. Band can play but the songs are weak.
Elton John
2/5
A lot of songs instantly forgettable.
Marilyn Manson
2/5
Couple of really strong tunes and plenty of atmosphere throughout. Too many bland entries pad it out though.
The Police
1/5
Mostly utter tosh including some tunes that feel like they're on there as s joke.
The United States Of America
2/5
Weird, sinister, hillbilly rock. Perfect for metal bands to rip samples from.
Yes
3/5
Loads of brilliant guitar work.
Motörhead
1/5
Motorhead have one song, then endless, watered down copies of it.

2/5
It's R&B.

Creedence Clearwater Revival

1/5
In this book to hit a diversity quota. Absolute drivel.
Scott Walker
2/5
Full on crooning cringe.
Dexys Midnight Runners
1/5
God awful vocal style shits all over a clearly talented band. Why you'd throw a microphone at a guy having a stroke rather than ring 999 is beyond me.
Nirvana
3/5
Some great moments throughout but does drag on a bit in the middle.
Sonic Youth
2/5
A decent amount of good riffs and tunes hampered by a shite vocalist and too many vocal lines that sound pre-recorded and pasted over whatever blank track spun up on their 4 track.
Björk
1/5
Some superb backing tracks separated by screechy nonsense, largely about going for a swim.
George Michael
2/5
Better than expected but still pretty non descript. Don't get the fuss.
Bauhaus
2/5
Made it half way through. Not half bad.
Pentangle
1/5
Sloppy, airy, fairy tosh.
Megadeth
2/5
Great guitar work but the Beavis and Butthead style of metal sounds even cheesier now than when this was released.
Marvin Gaye
2/5
Some great songs but most of the lyrics are like something a horny teenager would scribble. Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. Its naff.
Mudhoney
2/5
Most grunge was pretty rubbish, this included.
Nina Simone
2/5
The Smiths
2/5
Morrissseys dulcid, rambling tones are chalk on a blackboard.
Rocket From The Crypt
2/5
Nothing special, very generic.
Public Enemy
1/5
Obnoxious, infantile, idiotic drivel. All attitude over suubstance.
John Lee Hooker
2/5
Blues by numbers.
Eurythmics
3/5
Struggles to get close to the bug bit in the middle. Solid 80s synthetic.
Spiritualized
1/5
Massively insipid singer makes middle of the road songs insufferable.
Metallica
3/5
Great stuff for the most part only struggl8ng with the load/reload songs which are mostly beyond saving
The Go-Betweens
2/5
Inoffensive but nothing very exciting.
Bob Dylan
1/5
Rubbish.
John Lennon
2/5
Honestly, what is the fuss over this guy.
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
Brilliant in its scale and variety of themes. Loads of great songs interspersed with a full albums worth of filler. Nobody wants to listen to Billy Corgans shrill voice for 2+ hours.
The Fall
1/5
Songs that go nowhere with an idiot mumble barking over them.
Jane Weaver
2/5
Just another mediocre wispy female vocal. Not much to get excited about.
Fairport Convention
1/5
Pearl Jam
4/5
Packed full of cracking songs.
Crosby, Stills & Nash
2/5
Generous 2. Most of this is hugely dull.
Sugar
3/5
Never heard of them before. Not bad.
Neil Young
2/5
Nothing very interesting. Can't see him having much of a career.
Pink Floyd
1/5
Absolute drivel. Idiotic themes and mostly just a jumbled mess.
Jethro Tull
1/5
No thank you.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
1/5
Bloody awful. Repetitive, slippy and boring.
Cee Lo Green
2/5
Guessing you either like his vocal tone or loathe it. Made it half way through the album...
Missy Elliott
1/5
Moronic, low brow and pretty obnoxious in parts. Propped up by a host of thoroughly skanky guests.
Ride
2/5
Middle of the road tunes with yet another vocalist who can't sing.
Pink Floyd
3/5
Excellent for the most part even if they don't seem to know when to call a song done.
Dennis Wilson
3/5
Very enjoyable listen.
Faith No More
4/5
Proper band with an album full of solid tunes.
Count Basie & His Orchestra
2/5
TV chat show jazz
Kraftwerk
1/5
I'm sure it sounded ground breaking when it came out but hearing it for the first time 40 years on its pretty simplistic and largely boring.
The Stone Roses
3/5
Well put together and varied. Surprisingly palatable.
Dwight Yoakam
2/5
Sounds identical to wveey other country album. Same chords, same melodies, same overtones of incest.
Liz Phair
2/5
Middling tunes let down by half the vocals being completely out of tune.
T. Rex
3/5
Very good, enjoyed this a lot.
Eagles
3/5
Brilliant start but loses its way in the second half.
Depeche Mode
3/5
Cool vibe but fairly dull for a sizeable chunk of it.
Soundgarden
3/5
So many great songs interspersed with a bit of filler.
Def Leppard
4/5
Sleazy and packed full of iconic riffs.
Simon & Garfunkel
2/5
Mostly utter shite.

2/5
Good rap is still rap.
Herbie Hancock
1/5
Nonsense.
Ray Price
2/5
Every song is a carbon copy of the last.
Brian Eno
2/5
Hard to know what to make of this. Adventurous in its day perhaps.
Fatboy Slim
2/5
Old boy writes a pile of great hooks but hasn't a clue how to expand or develop them making the stand alone listening experience really boring and hugely repetitive. Lazy.
David Bowie
2/5
Don't see what the big fuss is all about with Bowie.
Tortoise
3/5
Plenty of variation, solid chill tunes.
Sam Cooke
3/5
Great voice.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
3/5
Nothing that exciting.
Eminem
4/5
Clever, visceral and very entertaining.
Van Morrison
2/5
Largely just rambling over completely disconnected freestyle jazz background music. He has some brilliant songs in the catalogue but spared them from this muck.
Patti Smith
2/5
Meh.
Orbital
1/5
Really dull with repetitive samples looped for 6 minutes and called a song. Maybe worked in the clubs back in the day but pointless as a home listen
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Much better than I'd expected.
Frank Zappa
3/5
Really interesting on the whole, let down a bit when it goes full on self indulgent jam session.
Pixies
2/5
Barring the couple of "hits", it's fairly weak.
Slipknot
4/5
Great production and packed with head bangers. Goes a bit limp in the back end but still a great metal template.
4/5
Largely rather excellent.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
2/5
Basis of most of the songs are really good but they never do anything with them so gets very samey.
ABBA
3/5
Starts off brilliantly but the second half is a bit flat. Plenty of great tunes I'd never heard before though, somehow.
George Jones
1/5
It's country.
John Grant
3/5
Just the right side of irreverent to be entertaining.
Green Day
2/5
One dimensional and very damey for the most part. Couple of stand out tacks elevate it beyond throw away meh.
Fiona Apple
3/5
Interesting and imaginative.
Violent Femmes
1/5
Amateur hour.
Paul McCartney and Wings
3/5
Diverse and better than I expected.
The Jam
2/5
Metallica
5/5
Horrible mix but doesn't stop this being an absolute monster.
The Cardigans
3/5
Not what I had in my head for this band. Far more varied and imaginative than expected.
Bonnie Raitt
1/5
Wise man once described this as aiming for mediocrity and falling way short. Bland, corny nonsense that was too painful to sit the whole way through.
David Bowie
2/5
Still don't understand what the big fuss is about Bowie. Some good verses and choruses but never in the same song. Half the tracks are directionless and despite there being plenty that should make it interesting, it largely isn't.
Bob Dylan
3/5
Surprisingly good. Loses a star as Dylans drunk at a wedding vocal style gets on your tits after a bit.
Isaac Hayes
3/5
Cool when he's actually on the tracks. Too much background listening.
The Doors
3/5
Elliott Smith
2/5
Found his whispery, insipid voice unbearable, ruining a lot of decent songs.
Barry Adamson
2/5
Lost 4 stars off the bat with Jarvis Cocker in full sex pest mode. Music is catchy in spots so redeems it slightly.

Foo Fighters
4/5
Excellent in parts, sol8d throughout.
OutKast
3/5
Good but not my bag.
The The
2/5
Dull
Leftfield
1/5
Songs go nowhere and the basic building beats are pretty uninteresting to start with.
Prince
2/5
Couple of brilliant tunes but can't get past the fact most of it is nonsense and he is individually repulsive.
1/5
Dylans voice is insufferable most of the time.
Suede
2/5
Never got the fuss.
Can
1/5
A raggedy mess for the most part, sounding like a bedroom demo they couldn't convince anyone to let them record.
Bob Dylan
1/5
It's Dylan.
TV On The Radio
2/5
Beastie Boys
3/5
It's very good but still just rap at the end of the day.

2/5
The Beach Boys

Queen
2/5

Shack
2/5
Brit pop by numbers.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
The War On Drugs
2/5
Nice but fairly uninspiring.
Dr. Octagon
2/5
Musically interesting in parts but the gimmicky rap is just as dull and soulless as virtually every other rap album.
Sex Pistols
3/5
Better than I exp3cted.
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
Traffic
3/5
Dr. Dre
1/5
Juvenile, obnoxious, moronic, laughable. But well mixed.
Paul Simon
4/5
CHIC
3/5
Spiritualized
2/5
Hugely bland with a singer who sounds like he can't be arsed getting out of his bed to do his vocals.
Goldfrapp
4/5
Really good. Plenty of variety, unpredictable changes and interesting from start to finish.
Nico
2/5
Good music but melodies and vocals all over the place.
The Beach Boys
2/5
Massively uninspiring.

3/5

Vocals are painful to listen to.
The Allman Brothers Band
3/5
The Divine Comedy
3/5
Decent band in the background.
N.W.A.
1/5
Over my head why this is revered. 3 planks spouting fantasy lyrics in a monotonous, single paced, rhythmically tedious, naff fashion. Pile of nonsense.
Keith Jarrett
1/5
Technically excellent but bereft of any structure which leaves it sounding like a self indulgent ivory wankfest.
Adele
3/5
Plenty of solid hits and thankfully more upbeat than the swathes of depressing wallowing that followed.

2/5
Two absolute and utter wankbags spewing out middle of the road moderate rock. All been done before and better. Style over substance.
