A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

5/5

Famous sax player Joshua Redman said 'A Love Supreme is the first jazz album I ever heard, and I really hope it is the last I ever hear.' This is the best piece of jazz music that will ever exist.

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

Despite loving their previous albums, this passed me by in 2017 (HOW?), and absolutely loved listening to this. A tiny bit of filler towards the end but the darkness it descends into is an enjoyable ride.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

5/5

Gorgeous

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Classic. I love the fact that The Beatles hit a ceiling with this album and The Beatles in general. After the release of Beach Boy's 'Pet Sounds', 'St Peppers' was a desperate attempt to compete by creating an entirely new fictional band.

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

Black Sabbath

3/5

Really fun (listening to this makes me smell sweat and beer when neither of those things are nearby), but I've never really been a Sabbath fan.

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

4/5

Still freeeeesssshhhhhhh

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

3/5

If I could take one twelve bar album with a cool little guy wailing and some stronk saxophone workout to a desert island, it would be this.

B-52's

The B-52's

1/5

Absolutely hated the first track and bailed hard.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

1/5

Never liked Metallica, it's just too grim and rowdy

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

1/5

Never liked Iron Maiden, it's just too grim and rowdy

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

Absolutely charming. Willie release a new album soon? Probably not...

Buena Vista Social Club

5/5

It's the cheesy backpacker hostel mainstay, but still warms my cold heart

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

5/5

Was pretty gutted when this ended. Will always love this.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

While I was a little interested by some of the more beefheart moments, I found it excruciatingly annoying and turned it off after 4 tracks.

Kimono My House

Sparks

2/5

While some of the more Beefheart moments caught my ear, I largely missed the point and turned it off after 4 tracks

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

3/5

Great album but I prefer their later and more polished stuff ("fucking impudent mainstream wanker")

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

4/5

Have to keep forgetting that it sounds so much like a slightly more murderous Beatles.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Nice little blast from the past. Sounds so dated now. Perhaps because it is?

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

3/5

I kinda prefer the rainy life-cul-de-sac pavement instead of this overconfident shoegazey pavement, but still enjoyed it.

White Light

Gene Clark

2/5

Harmonica got to me a bit, in a bad way. Great album to retire to.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

5/5

Huge

Drunk

Thundercat

4/5

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

Absolutely rocked out to this hard.

James Taylor

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

1/5

Absolutely cannot stand his voice, it's like a cheese grater chuffing on my soul

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

Still amazing

The Velvet Underground

5/5

Such an uncanny thirst for heroine after listening to this a few time

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
