Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

3/5

Nothing particularly interesting, but nothing to complain about either.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Too slow for my liking, but the creative genius is apparent. Great muzak.

3/5

Pure southern rock energy, a must-listen for fans of the genre.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Piano heavy bluesy rock. If you're a fan of indie rock, this is the prototypical album.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

2/5

I'm sure it's fine, but RnB/soul has never appealed to me.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

3/5

Psychedelic hippie rock, I'm sure it's fine.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

Classic east-coast rap. A must listen for rap fans.

2/5

Too indie for my rock.

Nevermind

5/5

Arguably the best grunge album ever written.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Some of Simon and Garfunkel's best; mellow, catchy, and still bloody good.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Classic crooner.

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

2/5

Boring, woozy, thoroughly detestable pop/hip-hop, saved somewhat by a catchy couple of tracks.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Clapton and the boys with their finest blues-rock.

Miriam Makeba

3/5

No complaints, but nothing grabbed me either.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

It's fine, not my cup of tea.

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

4/5

Easy listening classic rock, and it's good!

If You're Feeling Sinister

Mellow singer-songwriter album with some fun ideas.

4/5

Easy listening country, with a couple of stand out tracks.

4/5

Classic Dylan rock

Forgettable late 90's alt-rock.

3/5

Some fun psychedelic rock, but nothing that captured my attention.

LL Cool J

4/5

Funky hip-hop humour.

One of the all time classic rock greats.

Maggot Brain

Nothing really interesting.

1999

Prince

4/5

Soulful, intimate rock.

Illmatic

Nas

4/5

It goes, hard.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

Starts off with fantastic psychedelic experimental prog, which only just begins to tire towards the end of the album.

Drunk

Thundercat

2/5

Woozy RnB with some humour. Definitely not my thing.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

An energetic (if somewhat dated) performance with style and personality.

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

3/5

There were some very good tracks in this album, smothered by the other 15. [Language barrier]

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

4/5

Catchy and engaging synth.

Tago Mago

Can

2/5

In this case, historical significance didn't translate into an enjoyable, or even interesting experience.

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

Pop-rock icons

Moby Grape

2/5

Uninteresting [some tracks unavailable on Spotify]

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Fine, but not particularly interesting.

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

Undeniably catchy indie rock, in the vein of the Strokes, the Rolling Stones, and Blur.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

3/5

Pleasant country.

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

3/5

A classic, but somewhat generic in the current musical climate.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Music to jig to.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

Classic Elvis.

Imagine

John Lennon

I wasn't expecting Bob Dylan, but that's what I got. Surprisingly enjoyable.

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

Incredible musical ability on display, especially for fans of Ginger Baker.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

Classic bluesy country rock. Classic Dylan.

Kid A

2/5

Some very good tracks, mostly just dull vibes.

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

3/5

Some fun, nothing groundbreaking.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

I'm new to swing, but this was pretty dope.

Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

A great album by a great band. I don't think it gains anything from being a live recording, however.

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

4/5

Haven't felt such funk in a long time.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

Musically and compositionally very good. As a matter of preference, I think the songs run too long, meaning I like the tracks less at the end than at the halfway point.

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Some classic pop-rock tunes, nothing that I'd choose to listen to specifically, though.

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

Classic country rock; softer than Neil would go on to write, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

3/5

It's fine, not my thing.
