Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

Suede

3/5

Solid album. I remember liking the singles when this came out and umming and ahhing over buying the CD - listening to the whole thing in the shop. Didn't buy it though.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

Totally get why this is on the list, not really my thing. Grew up with dad playing it so I know heaps of the songs. Family just asked why I was playing the Cadbury song. Sigh. God Only Knows is a work of genius.

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Easy 4 for me. Has all the stuff I like from the mid 80s - layered synths and ethereal vocals. Ultimately, I think The Glove's Blue Sunshine from the year before (1983) hits some of this stuff better. Also, I wish the album had ended with Cicely.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

Lots of great memories! How do I know so many songs? So glad I listened. But won't listen again by choice.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

5/5

Forgot how incredible this album was, and how good it still is! Lyrics are fantastic. Beats are perfection.

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Wow! This must have been played to me heaps when I was little. Thanks, Dad! That opening track is magnificent.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Didn't expect to enjoy this album as much as I did. Entertaining guitar from Eric Clapton throughout.

Goo

Sonic Youth

4/5

I was late to get into Sonic Youth. It wasn't until 98/99 until something clicked and they started sounding awesome to me. Layers of guitars and feedback with the contrast of crisp clear vocals. Love it.

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

3/5

Great album, I've enjoyed it less as I've got older, but in the early 90s I listened to this over and over. Rhythm Nation and Miss You Much are still top songs.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

Not really a Dylan fan. Sorry. Was good to listen to.

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin

5/5

A personal fave! Love it.

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

There's not a track on this album I don't love. 5 stars

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

5/5

A good friend gifted me this album with no context in a time I needed it most. Beautiful. 5 stars.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

5/5

I recall driving to JB-Hifi in Woden to pick this up on release weekend and listening to it in the car on the way home. When 'Stay Another Season' hit I couldn't believe my ears... did Madonna okay that sample? Apparently she did. Wow!

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

5/5

First album I bought for myself on CD. So much gold here!

Pornography

The Cure

5/5

Absolute 5. For a long time my fave album by The Cure. It's too dark for me to enjoy any more.

Play

Moby

4/5

The highs on this are fantastic. As is how it was made. Not all tracks hit home for me.
