Pearl JamMore fretless bass than I remember, but the power of that album! Still sounds fresh (bass parts aside) today

Reign In Blood
SlayerI mean, it's one of the big four so it's legendary - brutal, fast, true thrashy thrash metal. Tom doesn't really sing as such a lot of the time, and the mix has something to be desired, but it's still a classic.

AC/DCThere’s a reason why the title track is the one that is widely remembered. They never struck me as an album kind of band, more a live act with a few killer new songs every album or two. Their set list is just epic, but the track lists on albums feel like there’s a bit of filler.

ColdplayI’ve got history with this album. The Scientist is my breakup song and a lot of the rest of the album has personal resonance. That said, objectively? Solid songwriting, unobtrusive musicality, 4 decently interesting drum beats, and pre-indie dancefloor pursuit.

SlipknotI am quite a slipknot fan but you really can hear the difference in their focus and individuality in subsequent albums, and while there are some great tracks that stand the test of time, some feel more like pastiches of other bands like Korn rather than Slipknot themselves.

Jeff BeckFeels very 60s blues supergroup-ish - Steward, Wood, Page, JPJ and Beck plays so well and so expressively. It's no wonder JB is revered as a guitarists guitarist despite not having the same level of super stardom as LZ - who arguably borrowed so much of their sound for the first few albums from JB.
