MGMT
5/5
Pleasingly proggy, I wish I'd listened to it sooner.
The Who
3/5
Donovan
5/5
Beautifully 60s. A good mix of big hits and weird trippy stuff.
Blur
3/5
Outside of the 3 single releases, this was really not what I was expecting. All felt a bit disjointed.
Pretenders
4/5
Definitely a grower - think I need to spend some more time with this one
Iron Maiden
4/5
Al Green
4/5

4/5
A lot of kinks I'd not heard - well worth a listen
Incredible Bongo Band
5/5
The Style Council
4/5
The La's
4/5
Not what I was expecting, having only heard There She Goes before. Heavily inspired by the Kinks, and a good listen.
Beatles
4/5
I mean, all the Beatles albums are pretty good, aren't they?
Bob Dylan
3/5
Good music, incomprehensible vocals; pretty standard Dylan
Madonna
4/5
Without the vocals it would sound like a cyberpunk computer game soundtrack, and I don't think the vocals take anything away from that.
Billy Joel
3/5
Not really my thing - ok background music
Bruce Springsteen
1/5
Not the best
Sam Cooke
5/5
Great fun, some nice classic rock and roll

1/5
This made no impression on me whatsoever
Jamiroquai
5/5

A bit of a classic really
Doves

I don't find the Ramones that interesting. A single track is punchy, punky, and energetic. A whole album just becomes repetitive.

Everyone knows that Hendrix was a hugely influential artist and an important part of music history, but sometimes you need to sit down with an album just to remind yourself how /good/ he was.

The Clash
3/5
Given how iconic the title track and album cover are, I'm both surprised that I didn't know more of this, and surprised that I didn't find it that interesting. Possibly a grower though, if I gave it a few more listens.

Perfectly fine as background music, but not something I would chose to listen to. Would be a great backing to a movie scene exploring an old church. Basically, pretty much what you'd expect from the title.

It's powerful, visceral, and for me a good hit of nostalgia. But is it actually good? No, not really. Good to jump around to for a song, but not an album to sit down and listen to.
