The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

1/5

this is one of the 1001 albums i must listen to before i die? fuck me ragged. this is a total piece of overblown shit, self indulgence at it's finest. why does this band have so many fans? it's absolute dogshit. half of them aren't even songs they're just rambling jam sessions. 'the gnome' is like someone asked the kinks to pretend to be late-beatles and 'don't try very hard'. fuck off pink floyd! FUCK OFF

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

good but not great, some of the tunes are filler, but the good tunes (roadhouse blues, you make me real and peace frog) are really well made and stand the test of time. 7/10

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

worth it just for breaking the law on it's own. top album. not perfect, but a great listen

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

1/5

Goo

Sonic Youth

4/5

Love Sonic Youth - they hadn't quite refined their sound (Dirty being their peak IMO) at this point but still 3 standout tracks on this

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Great Album - love the Go Go's.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

5/5

I absolutely love the Kinks, and this is a classic. Picture Book is the standout tune for me, absolutely wonderful.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

a timeless classic of heavy rock/metal. didn't need to listen to it as i already love it, but enjoyed listening anyway :) hallowed be thy name is one of the best heavy rock songs of all time

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

3/5

Noodly, but with some good tracks on there - was not aware that it was a live album before i listened :)

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

4/5

really good tunes on here particularly Time of the Season which is an all time classic with the keyboard sound so associated with the Zombies.

Damaged

Black Flag

4/5

I really like the Chats, and it's clear that they are heavily inspired by Black Flag - a band who i was familiar with, but have never listened to this album. I will definitely listen to it again though as it's really good!

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

3/5

Enjoyed it, nothing earth shattering. Like Punk/The Jam

American Pie

Don McLean

5/5

It's an all-time classic - there's so much more than 'American Pie' on here though. Don is a lovely songwriter and this is a wonderful sunny afternoon listen.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

4/5

mellow - really liked this, was pleasantly surprised, never heard of her before

Drunk

Thundercat

3/5

well, this was a pleasant surprise, but it's denied a higher mark by the fact that when it's bad, it's really bad. but when it's good, it's really good.

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

1/5

I got to 'driving me backwards' and turned it off. he might be influential, but this is ABSOLUTE SHIT.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

not as good as i remember, but still a decent album

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

2/5

fucking boring
