Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Very bluesy. Would make great background music

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

Sublime!

Different Class

Pulp

5/5

In It For The Money

Supergrass

2/5

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

Should be 5 stars but there are some lame ballads on there

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

2/5

I mean. It's Genesis.

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

1/5

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

3/5

Good background music

Urban Hymns

The Verve

4/5

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

2/5

Sounds like a fairly generic 90s low key album

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

3/5

Good, nutty and psychadelic

American Pie

Don McLean

3/5

Obviously, American Pie itself is absolutely iconic, but would I listen to the whole album out of choice?

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

Obviously, Epic is bloody Epic. I wish there was a 3.5 on this scale. It's a good angsty rock album. It could have pushed a 4 had there been more standout tracks, but it was a struggle to pick the rest of the content apart.

Eagles

2/5

I am definitely not into country!

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

4/5

OK, I wrote my first review below but was still listening to it when driving across town. In the space of a mile, I encountered some staggeringly entitled arsehole drivers. I found that it actually was the perfect soundtrack to staring the patriarchy in the face with a cold, dead, unblinking stare. It's just gone from 1 to 4 stars. ---‐------------------------------------------- Yes, I know, massively influential on the electronic music genre. But this is the musical equivalent of eating 6 crackers without water. Joyless, functional and boring. I couldn't finish it. One star.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

Meh

Elastica

2/5

Joan Armatrading

2/5

GI

Germs

2/5

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

1/5

We Are Family

4/5

Bringing It All Back Home

4/5

Fragile

Yes

1/5

70s lounge music

The Predator

Ice Cube

3/5

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Dust

Screaming Trees

3/5

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Odessa

Bee Gees

1/5

Well. Not just a Bee Gees album, but a Bee Gees concept album. Not just a Bee Gees concept album, but one where significant creative differences resulted in not just one but two Bee Gees concept albums. About a Ukranian port. The first song alone lasts 1 day, 7 hours and 34 minutes.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

3/5

Moving Pictures

Rush

3/5

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

1984

Van Halen

4/5

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

Paris 1919

John Cale

4/5

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

3/5

Gets 3 because it was inoffensive but probably not one to seek out.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

Absolutely storming

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

2/5

It started well with a track that had a real Bowie-esque feel to it (Sea Song). But the rest of it was just a little too hit and miss to reach my criteria for a 3. I wouldn't listen to it again, but I wouldn't be screaming "Make it stop!!!"

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Gris Gris

Dr. John

4/5

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

Apparently, he was influential in the US. Maybe it's worth listening to more of his work, but taking this one as a standalone, it doesn't go about a 3 for me. Inoffensive meh.

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

The Band

4/5

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

3/5

A couple of trippy bangers in there which would get a 7/10, but not enough in the rest of the material to lift it to a 4/5.
