Talking Heads

2/5

Frustrating. Talking Heads are a band I always think I should like way more than I do. Until we try again in another 12 months Mr Byrne.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

2/5

Probably blasphemy to some but I found this totally underwhelming. There wasn't even a fake walk off.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

2/5

Couple of amazing singles and a big load of rubbish

High Violet

The National

5/5

Amazing album from an amazing band. I could probably listen to Matt Berninger sing the phone book and be happy.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Its a classic for a reason. You probably know most of the songs already, even if its another artists version.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Thrash classic. Great tunes but even the remaster still sounds trebley as all hell.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

2/5

Probably the most telling aspect was I forgot it was on. An argument against double albums.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

5/5

The greatest modern jazz record ?

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

Still awesome.

High Violet

The National

5/5

Amazing album from an amazing band. I could probably listen to Matt Berninger sing the phone book and be happy.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

5/5

The Yes Album

Yes

2/5

Well I can finally say I've heard a Yes album. Inoffensive 70s prog nonsense. The dog liked it.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Look man, you can listen to Jimi but you can’t hear him. There’s a difference man. Just because you’re listening to him doesn’t mean you’re hearing him.

The La's

5/5

Probably heard this a 100 times and is still awesome.

Foo Fighters

5/5

Classic.

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

Peak Stripes

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

2/5

Couple of amazing singles and a big load of rubbish

Disintegration

The Cure

3/5

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Released after they disbanded their swansong sounds 4 years too late. The high points still hold up Care of Cell 44, Brief Candles and Time of the Season. Sounds of psychedelia 60s England but some songs haven't held up well.

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

4/5

First album without Richie Edwards and it shows. The sound of a band deliberately making the leap from clubs to stadiums. Still sounds great.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

5/5

Da Capo

Love

3/5

Side 1 is a mess. Side 2's sprawling 19 minute jam 'Revelation' is worth the admission but skip the rest. 'Forever Changes' it isn't

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

5/5

Where it all began.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

2/5

Self indulgent.

1977

Ash

4/5

The sound of endless summer, innocent fumblings and cider in the park.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Heartbreaking.

Technique

New Order

3/5

Average, probably the worst of New Orders 80's records.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

2/5

Frustrating. Talking Heads are a band I always think I should like way more than I do. Until we try again in another 12 months Mr Byrne.

Fleet Foxes

5/5

About as near perfect as you can get.

Marquee Moon

Television

3/5

Side 1 is post punk perfection. Side 2..... is really not.

Fun House

The Stooges

4/5

Absolutely filthy.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

Meh

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

3/5

Its nice enough in a Sunday morning, put on something low key, did I really do that last night, shots were probably a bad idea, oh jesus I might have some calls to make sort of way. Can we also talk about the weirdness of calling your album Sweet Baby James if your name is James....

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Thriller

Michael Jackson

3/5

Singles are awesome, rest is fairly meh.

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

4/5

Where the late night blues of his earlier albums ends and the experimental camp of his later albums begin.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

Who doesn't love some Pixies

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

2/5

Probably blasphemy to some but I found this totally underwhelming. There wasn't even a fake walk off.

The xx

4/5

Super chilled, great for 6am on a Sunday morning or 2pm on a Tuesday in the office.

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

2/5

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

Too freaking long.

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

Fun

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Not normally my jam but decent enough.

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

The Kinks

4/5

Solid Kinks album. Can't beat some Ray Davies.

Copper Blue

Sugar

5/5

In Bob we trust.

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

4/5

The sound of Detroit setting fire to the 60's and kicking the door open for punk to eventually rip up what became of the 70s. Takes balls for your debut album to be a live recording but it captures the incendiary nature of MC5 more than any studio would. And right now...Right now.....Right now its time to...

Queens of the Stone Age

2/5

Listened for the first time in years. Still a meh.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

You know half the songs already. Country rock at its finest. Solid.
