The Isley Brothers

4/5

Wooooaaaaahhhhhh listen to this music. Very funky, lots of soul. Great for a sunny morning drive. The kind of music that puts you in a good mindset for a day. The guitar work in some of the songs absolutely rip.

My Generation

The Who

1/5

Big single (my generation). Don’t care for the rest.

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

Farmer Francis will have her revenge on Seattle. The first nirvana album i got into, so it will always be my favourite. It’s a pretty flawless album.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

2/5

Find the music very calming and enjoyable, sort of like a Icelandic early Pink Floyd. Find the males vocals to be a little whiney which is a little annoying causing me to skip some tracks. Album is extremely long to it’s own detriment.

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

Where do you begin? An album that to this day still is absolutely fantastic. The white stripes have consistently put out amazing albums and finally got the recognition they deserved with Elephant. Ball and a biscuit *chef kiss*

Eagles

3/5

Aside from the eagles songs everyone knows there are some real gems on here. Highlight would be chug all night. That being said, I’m more of an eagles hits fan. Good album though, just not my cup.

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

1/5

Can’t stand this band, won’t listen.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

2/5

This album has a lot of ups and downs. I find there are some great songs followed by some real flops. I doubt I’ll ever listen to the full album again but could see listening to some songs. Highlights: death of a clown and tin soldier man.

Dirty

Sonic Youth

3/5

The album sounds a lot like it’s title, dirty. I am here for it, if you’re in the right mood the messy loud noise penetrates the ear holes just right. Great album, although personally I much prefer the songs that have Kim Gordon on vocals. Highlights : swimsuit issue, shoot.

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

1/5

This is a tough album to listen to. I find the vocals almost unbearable to enjoy, that being said musically some of the songs arrangements sound fantastic. A couple songs belong in the background of a Zelda game and others, an 80s adult film (Hudson Line). I’ll likely never listen to this album again unless it’s playing in the next shop I have to buy a new tunic from in Zelda.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

This album is a staple to any David Bowie fan. When the single is featured on most greatest hits and it’s the weakest song in the album, that says something. The piano work on Aladdin Sane is stellar.

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

2/5

Didn’t entirely listen, but I liked what I heard enough to revisit this album. They got a follow so I can check them out later

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

Great ccr album, all ccr songs seem to just be classic. Love the cover of I put a spell on you. Wish I could do 2.5

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

I love all of the different genres morphed into all of the songs. Diamonds on the soles of her shoes is absolutely incredible. Always liked Simon and Garfunkle, but never listened to much of the solo stuff. Will revisit Paul Simon, and this album

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

4/5

This album is stellar, although it isn’t my favourite Tom Waits album it has one of his most known songs on it. I love his greasy blues rock dive bar songs on this album. It’s a nice pace between those and the softer tunes Highlights: heartattack and vine, jersey girl, mr.Siegal

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Small Faces

1/5

As soon as I saw the title for this album I knew that it wouldn’t even be a quarter as good musically as the title is, I was correct. This is like classic rock that wasn’t good enough to make it to a small town rock station to be overplayed. I had a hard time listening, it was boring and didn’t keep my interest whatsoever. Won’t recommend ever. To borrow a phrase, this isn’t Walmart uk rock, this is Biway uk rock.

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

1/5

This album is rubbish is more like it. I’m so meh on blur and listening to this just reinforces that.

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

What more can you say other than this album is great from beginning to end.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

2/5

I don’t know much jazz but every-time I listen to any I find it very calming. I might revisit this album and artist

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

3/5

I haven’t heard a lot of Marvin other than “What’s Going On” but this is another great album. I am more likely to listen to more of his stuff. I really like the sax and keys through this album.

Miriam Makeba

1/5

I listen to a few tracks and it’s interesting music but I don’t know that I will revisit this.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

2/5

Nothing super stood out for me… but that being said I enjoyed this album and will revisit Miles Davis again for sure.

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

Every single song on this album is killer. A true masterpiece beginning to end.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Hand of doom. The best part about this album is you can take all of the singles that everyone’s heard plenty of times away, and what you’re left with is still amazing. I love this album. Again….hand of doom.

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

The album that birthed one of the best parodies of all time “fat” we will forever be indebted to Bad for that. This is another mj classic, lots of killer tracks, funky. It’s great….but it’s no Thriller

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

A classic pearl jam album, so classic that almost everyone knows atleast 4 or 5 songs off of this album. A highlight is release.
