Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

1/5

Its like if you merged Alannis Morissette, Bjork and Kate Bush and it didn't work.

Raw Power

The Stooges

5/5

Great Album. I think the Iggy Pop mix is superior to the David Bowie mix. It's much more raw and dirty.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

5/5

A strange, sexual and raw album. Uncomfortable in parts. Loved it.

Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

Ever wanted to know what a metal band would sound like if fronted by an angry dog that knows a little English? This is it. But it's not as cute as it sounds. Very raw album. Not for me.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

5/5

There's a reason why Jethro Tull beat Metallica at the Grammys. It's a brilliant Album with plenty of guitar and flute solos alike. Aqualung is one of my favourite songs of all time.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

5/5

This is what you imagine when you think of Classic Australian Rock. Great Album. Shazbot Nanu Nanu.

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

4/5

Some great songs. Goes to places I didn't expect. Benefits from multiple listens.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

This album starts strong, but I found myself getting bored about halfway through.

Mudhoney

5/5

I really enjoyed this album. Really grungy.

Sheet Music

10cc

5/5

Brilliant album.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

2/5

I dont get the hype. Lotta flash, no substance.

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Some really standout songs on this album. Only marred by a couple duds towards the end.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Has some weird stuff going. Probably why I like it.

Marquee Moon

Television

5/5

Great Album. Way ahead of its time. Could say it was made this year and it would fit.

Shaft

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Unfortunately spotify doesn't have the entire album. The 3 songs I did get to listen to were great.

Roots

Sepultura

4/5

This album goes through so many different subtle changes in metal genres. Great Album. Some tracks don't hit as well as others though.

Kenya

Machito

5/5

Ya like Jazz? Thoroughly enjoyed this album. Gave me The Mask vibes. Definite boost in productivity while this was playing.

Transformer

Lou Reed

5/5

Great Album.

Goo

Sonic Youth

2/5

I dont really get the hype for Sonic Youth. It's pretty generic and up it's own ass.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

This album didn't really grab me. It wasn't bad, just a bit meh.

Low

David Bowie

4/5

Bowie will always be great. I think this was my first time listening to this one though. It's quite haunting.

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

3/5

This album is ok. Not as good as their previous work. There are a few stand out songs though such as Psycho Social. I also found that the final maybe 3rd of the tracks get just too whiney for me.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

Ya like Jazz?

Raw Power

The Stooges

5/5

Great Album. I think the Iggy Pop mix is superior to the David Bowie mix. It's much more raw and dirty.

OK Computer

Radiohead

3/5

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

1/5

This album starts off like an ad for Special K, turns into 80s workout music, then ends with long, boring and annoying tracks. Higher than the Sun is a decent track though.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

Ever wanted to know what a metal band would sound like if fronted by an angry dog that knows a little English? This is it. But it's not as cute as it sounds. Very raw album. Not for me.

Elvis Presley

5/5

A banger from start to finish.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

5/5

I had never listened to CS&N before, but there is a warmth and feeling of familiarity that came with it anyway. Loved the album.

Ramones

5/5

I love 70s-80s punk and I know that the Ramones paved a lot of the way for it, but all the songs on this album, albeit good, are so samey the whole way through. They are much better to listen to as singles.

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

3/5

C'est Chic

CHIC

5/5

A funky and fun listen. Everybody has heard le freak before. Favourite track is savoir faire for sure, that guitar is fantastic.

The Band

3/5

Musically its quite good. Very of the time lyrics though.

British Steel

Judas Priest

5/5

Can't go wrong with Judas Priest.

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

5/5

I didn't realise how many Peter Frampton songs I knew. Plus this is a terrific recording.

Third

Portishead

4/5

I am surprising myself now that I think back about this album because I really enjoyed it. Wasn't the best thing I've ever listened to, but the album flew by. Machine Gun is a great track so is Plastic.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

5/5

Why haven't I listened to this more? This is a fantastic album. Has my second favourite cover of Warpigs, the first is by Cake.

Bad Company

5/5

Classic rock vibes. Easy to listen to.

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

This music isn't for me.

Aja

Not their best album. That belongs to Pretzle Logic. Still a solid album though.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

5/5

Big DEVO energy. Good album.

Face to Face

The Kinks

5/5

Really enjoyable album. Fan of the Beatles will like this.

The Visitors

ABBA

4/5

For an album that has zero ABBA songs I've heard before, it was pretty good.

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

3/5

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

5/5

Comes ar you like a ray, like a beam. Loved it.

American Pie

Don McLean

4/5

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Amy Winehouse was a very talented person. Sad she left the world too soon. Great Album. One of a kind voice.

The Only Ones

3/5

I'm not sure how I feel about this album.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

4/5

I enjoyed this album. Pretty folksy. Streets of your town is the standout track. Gave me nostalgia because it was used for an ad about a decade ago for my home town.

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

2/5

Felt like I was listening to a middling RPG soundtrack.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

Went in hoping for more like Tear-drop. Didn't get it. An ok album.

Fun House

The Stooges

5/5

Great Album.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

5/5

A strange, sexual and raw album. Uncomfortable in parts. Loved it.

4/5

Great Album. Very fun.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

5/5

Fun album. Passing me by is a fantastic song.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

5/5

Dusty Springfield has such a beautiful voice. The Windmills of Your Mind could be a Bond song.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

I own this record on Vinyl. Don't need to listen to it to know it's great.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

I grew up listening to CCR. If you want to hear all of their very best songs, just listen to this album.

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

Can't beat take me out.

Repeater

Fugazi

4/5

Achtung Baby

4/5

What more can be said about U2. Its a good album.

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

3/5

Very calming album. Probably not for everyone. The last couple tracks probably could have been left off and made it better overall.

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

4/5

Beeps and books to move your hips to.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

3/5

The xx

5/5

A very 2000s album.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

3/5

The man sure can play the piano. He slurs the lyrics to most of the songs though.

1999

Prince

2/5

1999 and Little Red Corvette are the best songs on this album. The rest is overly drawn out nonsense. I don't get the prince hype. These songs don't need to be 8 minutes long.

Abraxas

Santana

5/5

Cut

The Slits

3/5

Vivid

Living Colour

3/5

Cult of Personality will always be a banger. Then the rest of the album is kinda meh.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Not available for me on Spotify. From what I listened to of it on YouTube, this isn't for me. I'm not sure who it even is for. Literally just a wall of sound.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

I don't speak any Spanish, so I can't comment on the lyrics, but the music is fun and full of energy. Had me moving in my work chair.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

3/5

Some good tracks, there's better ones on their other albums though. But I'll always be a Metallica guy.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Rock n Roll Classic.

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

3/5

Risque

CHIC

4/5

Very talented musicians and singers. But after 8 minutes of good times, I didn't need to listen to the rest.

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

3/5

I find myself going between "hey this is really fun" and " when is it going to get to the next fun part". Very up and down album. Gets an average review from me.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Ya like Jazz?

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

3/5

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

3/5

Does everything it says on the box. Short, fast and loud. Some questionable lyrics here and there, and then Jailbait plays. Woof.

Pretenders

5/5

I really dig this. Lots of musical influences, can really hear the punk in there. Her voice is fantastic too.

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

3/5

It was ok.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

4/5

Much better than I was expecting considering the album didn't have any of their well known songs.

The Doors

5/5

Jim Morrison has one of the best voices of all time.

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

3/5

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

Great Album.

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

4/5

Found myself really enjoying this. The bit of music theory was nice too.

Truth

Jeff Beck

2/5

Last 5 albums have included Rod Stewart, Faces and The Jeff Beck Group. Now this and I'm pretty over it. It's just more generic dad rock now.

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

The Cars

5/5

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

Queen Of Denmark

A but more country than I was expecting, but in the ghetto and suspicious minds are bangers

2112

Rush

5/5

Easy 5 stars. RIP Neil Peart.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

3/5

Cut Your Hair and Unfair are very catchy. 5-4 Unity was a cool change. Hit the Plane Down has some definite Ween vibes which is always a great thing. The rest was pretty uninteresting.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

My Generation

The Who

4/5

I know this album is from 1965, but its so much tamer and swingy than I was expecting after hearing the song My Generation all these years.
