Black Sabbath
4/5
Black Sabbath, right? Bats! Satan! Ozzzzzzy! Sharon, Kelly, Jack and that one who only ever appeared as a blur of pixels getting something out of the fridge! Never been much more than a joke band to me, which is unfair because this album is really pretty badass. Still sounds fresh, amazingly, and I am not the kind of rockist beard-stroker who says that about every piece of vinyl pressed before 1980.

An album I never really listened to because I thought grunge was boring. I still think it's boring. I'd probably have appreciated this more if I was listening to it (a) played live (b) with an ear to the lyrics. But I wasn't, so I didn't.
Slipknot
3/5
Unsurprisingly (to me) juvenile lyrics and surprisingly (to me) sophisticated production. Adult me would still be embarrassed to admit publicly to liking it, but my inner teenager enjoyed it a lot.
Flamin' Groovies
2/5
I'm sure this was very important and groundbreaking in its day and all that. But now it just sounds like the soundtrack to the bit in a buddy movie when the buddies inadvertently get into a fight in a dodgy bar. I suppose someone had to do it first.
Emmylou Harris
1/5
This may have been a departure from her formerly folkier-than-thou oeuvre, but to me it just comes over as if someone got their hands on the Blood Makes Noise dial and then only turned it up to 2.
It goes up to 11, folks
Aphex Twin
4/5
doop bloop doop bloop
The Specials
5/5
Hard to guess what this might sound like to fresh ears, but to my older ones it is a perfect balance of black, white and the shades of grey in between.
Over time, the knees-up familiarity of the hits has drowned out the angst and anger of the rest. The dubby album version of Too Much Too Young came as the biggest surprise, but ultimately a welcome one: it takes the song to a more mournful place than the spikier no-future version we're used to.
R.E.M.
4/5
In homage to a former housemate, who was obsessed to the point of mania by this album, I played it very loudly in a room down the corridor to the one I was sitting in. I can report that the obvious MVP tracks retain their five-star ratings, while the filler remains filler.
Buck Owens
3/5
Buck sure does a lot of rollin' and fallin', as well as occasionally dyin', on this record. Sad times roll on, as do the good; fallin' into love and out of it. Someone needs to reorder this into a consistent narrative. Ain't gonna be me, though.
Screaming Trees
2/5
boring
BORING
boring
that's right, it's a boring sandwich
The Stranglers
3/5
I've never really felt the need to investigate The Stranglers because I don't enjoy feeling sordid while listening to music, a sensation this album elicited very effectively. Mission accomplished, I guess?
Massive Attack
4/5
Goes big and then goes home. Saving a star for the next one
Pulp
3/5
Not so much Pulp as pith and vinegar
Morrissey
1/5
Morrissey's preoccupation with a halcyon Britain largely of his own imagining was mildly disquieting even in the heyday of the Smiths - hinting at a social and political alignment at odds with that of many of his admirers.
This album marks the point at which he started to say the quiet part out loud - as was obvious to many when it was released, despite the efforts of his apologists to explain away its questionable aspects. Whatever he intended with its title, it reads today as a declaration of intent.
Yeah yeah yeah, but shouldn't we distinguish between the artist and his work? Fortunately we can sidestep that thorny issue, because this album, Mozza's first without the benefit of Marr's guitar, amounts to no more than a couple of lukewarm singles and a wodge of nondescript filler.
Neneh Cherry
4/5
What's 'e like? WHAT IS 'E LIKE?
Buffalo Stance is a six (all hail Bomb The Bass), the rest is a three-star pottage of late '80s production tics, and none the worse for it.
Nick Drake
3/5
Short bites, bittersweet.
Fela Kuti
3/5
I think you had to be there.
ABBA
3/5
If they'd kept the original song titles, this would have been the running order:
Rio de Janeiro
Boogaloo
My Love, My Life
Dum Dum Diddle
Knowing Me, Knowing You
Been And Gone And Done It
Coachman's Farm
Tiger
Fiol
The bangers are the bangers, the rest is cacophodisco. Apart from "Coachman's Farm", which apparently only got to live its best life as a single in Japan, and the hair-raising conclusion of the otherwise entirely unmenacing "Tiger".
Bob Dylan
4/5
The year this album came out, I went on a long road trip around the Southwest of the USA. Wish I'd known about it then. Not that it would have made much difference, since the rental didn't have a CD player.
Tears For Fears
4/5
The sound of the Eighties, was often to throw in everything up to and including the kitchen sink. That's what this album sounds like. But _soulfully_

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
1/5

Bob Dylan

Radiohead
4/5
Downloaded this for free as part of the great pay-what-you-want experiment back in the day, excited by one of the world's biggest bands choosing to go off grid. But at the time I didn't rate it much.
Now Spotify makes it available for free too, but it doesn't *feel* free, it feels like part of the same old rotten recording industry system. And I enjoyed it a lot more this time. I guess you get what you think you paid for?

It is hard to understand how this served on the soundtrack to Justice League, but it works surprisingly well as the world's gloomiest Christmas album. People Ain't No Good, huh Nick?
Various Artists

I mean you can't knock the Wall of Sound, but my reaction to a Christmas gift from Phil Spector is more "what's in the box?! WHAT'S IN THE BOX" than "ooh how lovely but I didn't get you anything"

Oh dearie-me, what a confusilode of the earflap, this Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake. Pop the roundy-tin and what spill-forth? First, a jumble-bumble of songy-wongs, all cockney-doodle and organ-wobble, but the senses soon go wibble-wobble, for the tunes, they twist and turn like a lost tram in Clapham.
Then, oh calamity, side two! Enter Unwin—yes, yours truly, but even my Unwinese can’t save this fairy-tale fumble. “Happiness Stan” sets off on a moon-missing quest, but the story’s all higgledy-piggledy, and my narratold interludicals? More crimp than crisp, more muddle than mirth. The band’s jubbly playing gets lost in the gobbledegook, and the whole concept collapses in a heap of “What the what?” befuddlement.
In summatotal: two stars, for the roundy-tin and the brave attempt, but this is a nutty-flake best left in the biscuit barrel, not on the turntable. Deep sigh, not deep joy.
