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

The Kinks · 11 likes

5/5

This is glorious. Biting social commentary with uplifting tunes.

American Idiot

Green Day · 4 likes

1/5

I'm too old for this, and so are they. Singles are fine, but the rest is filler. Teen punk rock for people who think the Matrix is 'deep'.

Ten

Pearl Jam · 2 likes

3/5

Enjoyed it but too miserable for me in general.

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi · 1 likes

2/5

Ooooh so cheesy.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

2/5

Whiney poor man's Bob Dylan. But okay.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

I really liked this album, though I think Blood on the Tracks is probably better overall.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

2/5

Rather smooth and forgettable. Was expecting it to be much heavier, but it's elevator rock.

Ten

Pearl Jam

3/5

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

I liked this. It was interesting, a bit rocky but not too much. Kind of like a rockier Regina Spector.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Only 2 'songs'! I liked it, though I'm not sure I understand it all...

Smash

The Offspring

1/5

Urgh. Lazy and loud.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

3/5

Not as bad as I was expecting - more upbeat.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

4/5

This album reminds me of driving through the Oxfordshire countryside. Class.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

I had forgotten that I quite like this album. Lots of twiddly guitars and smooth voices.

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

The Kinks

5/5

This is glorious. Biting social commentary with uplifting tunes.

Real Life

Magazine

4/5

I liked it, quite like Lloyd Cole but rockier. Except for the Goldfinger cover. Shudder.

Femi Kuti

4/5

Chilled and interesting. I will listen to this again.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

In some ways quite Bowie-esque, and the singles are classics. But the backing singing is a bit weird, and some of the lyrics are a bit inane. It's ok.

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

2/5

Coffee bar music. Nice and inoffensive.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

2/5

Slick band, but titles and themes haven't aged well
