The video for Stress is certainly very disturbing & makes an impact in the way it was intended to. That apart, for someone of my era I like a surprising amount of electronic & dance music & I'm sure there are many undiscovered gems still waiting for me but this incoherent cacophony isn't one of them.

‘Shout me Out’ has really grown on me after 2/3 plays but most of the rest feels disjointed & unharmonious, & the songs phase very awkwardly. 2008 must have been a very thin year if this was one of the top albums

Fantastic musicianship & writing, but the lyrics are about a lifestyle I can’t relate to & I’m afraid Joni isn’t for me, I’ve just never been a fan.

Made In Japan
Deep Purple
One of the formative albums of my youth & the first band I saw live (Sheffield City Hall, 1972).
I haven’t heard it for years & it probably wouldn’t be my choice of music these days but it’s great to listen to it again & even greater to see so many classic tracks, such as Highway Star, Child in Time , Smoke on the Water, & Strange Kind of Woman, holding up so well.

One reason for doing this is to 'discover' prominent artists who despite attaining global prominence have somehow stayed off my radar.

Absolutely can’t stand Iggy Pop so this was very much a ‘duty listen’.
Turns out that I Wanna Be Your Dog, No Fun & Real Cool Time are very listenable, & the clear pre-punk influence was interesting. Nowhere near as awful as I was expecting.

Album No. 191 & a serious candidate for being the worst of all.
The notes promised me an “album that spans several genres”; well if ‘aggressive’, ‘repetitive’, & ‘shite’ count as different genres then it delivers on that promise.
I just have no words to describe how awful this is from start to finish.

There isn’t a single track on this album which either improves the original, or failing that, at least showcases it in a different & interesting way. Some are saccharine karaoke poor & his rendition of ‘On the Sunny Side of the Street’ is nothing short of an abomination.
Considering the amalgamation of time, effort & talent that went into it’s making, this must be one of the most pointless albums ever released.

There's a reason most people have never heard, or heard of, any track on this album apart from 'More Than a Feeling'.
Any album that leads with a 'signature track' which showcases everything that's bad about 1970's American stadium rock & goes downhill from there is likely to be a tough old listen, & so it was.

Strewth that was painful.
I actually liked 'Stay' a lot so I'm giving this album a wholly unmerited 2 stars.
Every other track, without exception, is excruciatingly bad: discordant & disjointed tunes, sounds like industrial drumming that appear out of nowhere & into where they don't belong & embarrassing 6th-form lyrics.
I like a lot of early-80's synth pop & heard a fair bit of it back in the day, courtesy of being a mature student when it was in vogue, so when this one came up I was wondering how I'd missed it first time around. And know I know - it's just awful.

The first album I ever brought. The title songs remains imperious & renders nearly all subsequent re-issue risible in comparison. And there's so much more as well. Timeless.

I've become quite partial to a bit of shoe-gaze so I wasn't expecting this tuneless, mumbling mess.
Musically it lost me in the first 5 seconds & never got me back. And I have no clue as to it's lyrical merit - passing such judgement requires the lyrics to be audible.

The Stone Roses
I never liked the little I've heard of their music - a mate in the '00's was a monster fan - & I always thought Ian Brown came across as a very unappealing character. Both views were formed years ago & before Brown's transformation during & after covid into one of the UK's foremost public idiots, and in combination were more than enough to prevent me from exploring them further.
So it was with a very heavy heart when this came up that I recalled my vow that everyone gets a chance & I'll listen to every minute of whatever gets listed.
Well, I was clearly listening to the wrong Stones Roses tracks, because - through the most heavily-gritted of teeth - I have to say that this album is utterly brilliant, almost every track has gone straight into my library & will be played plenty of times in the future.
And that just goes to show one of the reasons for doing this - to bring to bear a greater knowledge that will challenge & sometimes change, strongly held views.

Well, didn't this one bring out the haters.
I liked the title track, the rest is largely a pleasant inoffensive mush so I'm not going to die on a hill for this album but it doesn't come close to justifying the vitriol it's attracted on here.
This is album 632 for me & at least 25% of those have been a much tougher listen than this was.

Back in the day he was one of those artists we'd all heard of, but none of us had ever much listened to. Don't know why.
Sadly, this has left me feeling that we didn't miss out on something.
I just don't have the heart to put it in the 1 star bin with all the Rap, Hip Hop & roooooaaaaaaar shite, but in all honesty that's where this belongs.

Well this is a strange one.
My immediate thought was WTAF is this? And I kept on thinking that until I got to 'New You' which absolutely blew me away. I've played it time & time & honestly it's hypnotic.
But then the rest of the album reverted to being a horrendous, discordant mess.
So then I've thought that it needs a couple more plays to see if it will grow on me, but it's still one superlative, entrancing track on an album that's otherwise the most gad-awful insult to my eardrums.
So how to rate this? 5 stars for the one brilliant track, minus stars for the rest if I could so I'll have to settle in the middle.

Absolute all-time banger of a classic, one great song after another, & showcasing different African music styles to ears that would never have otherwise heard them.
And this version comes with a side-order of entertainment courtesy of predictable yawning about 'cultural appropriation' by self-appointed custodians.

Cut

I was pondering a very generous 2 stars.
Then up came the penultimate track, which is almost certainly the worst version of 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine'; truly an abominable insult to either the original or Marvin Gaye's version.
Debate settled. 1 star.

Yes she's got a very decent voice, I like it a lot but I doubt it's any better than dozens of solid, professional session singers. No way does she get a recording contract if she's my sister & all other things being equal - and this album REALLY needs to lose the voiceover interludes.
I haven't the heart to give it 1 star & consign it to the Atrocity Bin with all the rap, hip hop, roooooooaaar, & 'American rock group' shite but it absolutely is pisspoor I'm afraid.

When I brought my first serious stereo in the late '70's Oxygene 4 was the go-to track all the salesmen used to show off their kit's prowess. Been off my radar for decades now so it's great to see the whole album holding up so well.
A timeless masterpiece that needs to be listened to through top quality headphones to do it justice.

Whenever I hear anything by NoW it's 1am & I'm in a hotel room in Kampot, Cambodia, well-fed, fissed as a part & cigar in hand, stripped to my kellies & playing some of their recently discovered music on loop.

I've no idea what the lyrics are on about, lost the plot for that almost immediately & couldn't be arsed to look for it but large sections of the melodies are pleasant enough though 3 stars might be a tad generous.
I doubt either that I'll ever listen to it again or feel that I'll reach my grave with a fulfillment I'd have lacked without hearing it but from the vantage point of being within 40 of the finishing tape I can most certainly state that the list has a good 200 albums worth of rap, hip hop, thrash, rooooooaaaar & formulaic 'American rock' shite that's far worse.

After hovering between a 2 & 3 the latter has landed me on a 2

With such a magnificent voice Elvis would make singing the phone directory worth listening to but I find this album sad.
Somehow - perhaps because it's from that era of his career - it reminds me of overweight saccharine Elvis churning out songs on autopilot for Vegas punters, his sublime talent being wasted as a money-harvest for the leeches who surrounded him & bilked him until there was nothing left.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols
Sex Pistols
Whatever it's musical merits (& several tracks have plenty afaic, but that's just my subjective view) this was a very significant album on it's release which had a wide societal impact. Frankly it beggars belief that you removed this album from the list whilst retaining 4 albums of nondescript, formulaic dog shit from each of the Beastie Boys & Metallica.

In The Wee Small Hours
Frank Sinatra
After multiple pauses it's taken me all day to make it to the end of this series of monotonous dirges.
I haven't the heart to put such a beautiful voice into the 1 star bin with all the rap, hip hop, roooooaaaaar, 'American rock group', Beastie Boys & Slipknot shite, but my 2 stars feels extremely generous & not really deserved.

Ajoy to listen to this long forgotten gem after the best part of 4 decades. 'Rock Lobster' & 'Planet Claire' are just as brilliant as I remember them.
How on earth could you remove this from the list whilst retaining 4 albums of dogshit from the Beastie Boys.

A landmark album which contains several of their much-loved songs & had a massive societal impact when it was released.
And you removed it from The List whilst retaining 4 albums of risible shit from the Beastie Boys & literally dozens of vile rap & hip hop drivel & the same number of identical, formulaic rooooaaaar & 'American rock' garbage.

I enjoyed the first few tracks a lot more than I expected but the (inexplicably) much-lauded 'Farmer John' is awful & it goes into steep decline after that.
Better to stick with the 50% of a good album they had than fill the rest of an hour with turgid dirges.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters
Fiona Apple
There's definitely a great voice hidden in there, be nice to hear it having a go at, you know, actual songs.
The drumming is great; rhythm & melody keep threatening to break out. The ingredients of a great album are all there & it's shame they weren't used properly.

If You're Feeling Sinister

A band who were never quite on my radar, coming to prominence as work was reducing my music listening time.
4 stars may be a tad generous, there's some nice songs but it becomes bit samey.

'Itsari' & 'Canyon Jam' are very listenable & show what this could have been.
But the rest is so completely dreadful that even taking these 2 tracks into account doesn't raise it above a single star.

A staple of my youth that I've not listened to for decades!! You weren't cool at school if you didn't like this, I was one of the few in my circle that didn't own a copy but it was hard to avoid it everywhere else.
Far from the worst example of prog rock & it hasn't aged as badly as most or as badly as I feared.
3's a tad generous but hey ho.

I was considering a very generous 3.
Then came a concluding track who's lyric ends by repeating 14 times, a chorus of 'Calendar & Clocks & Hickory Docks (Tick Tock)'.
I guess it's meant to be hypnotic - trust me, it ain't.
