Don't know anything about this but we love a good 80s album, right? Is that tin foil just flapping in the wind?? Oh, that's an interesting sound. Okay, yeah maybe this ins't for me.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

All Ratings

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

it's a lot more chill than I expected, I thought it would be harder more amped-up rock. Tighten Up and Howlin' for You are bangers.

The Velvet Underground

2/5

didn't particularly love it, though one of the songs I knew from Sex Education!

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

4/5

it's refreshing to hear full 5 to 6 minute songs. reminds me very much of Piero's music. very relaxing, the music is beautiful.

Pornography

The Cure

1/5

can't say i've been loving this one. all of the songs kind of sound the same, and though i love a more chill rock album, i find myself a little bored listening to each track.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

5/5

this is already a whole mood and i love it - this makes for great easy listening and grooving

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

not sure what i was expecting. good beats and good for head bopping. I don't necessarily think I'd listen to this over and over again but it was fine!

In It For The Money

Supergrass

3/5

not quite sure what I expected here and don't think i've ever listened to them. Solid songs - really liked Melanie Davis

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Sympathy for the Devil is such a damn good song, but I don't think I've listened to this whole album before so I'm excited. I do love the Rolling Stones a lot.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

1/5

I just didn't really vibe with it.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

No complaints. But nothing will top Lesly Gore's version of "You Don't Own Me."

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

1/5

I liked the idea of the shorter songs, but it got old real fast

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

Great album - though this may be the first time I'm listening to it all the way through, I definitely just listen to the hits. It's such a solid rock mood booster album. Great to listen to in the background as well.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

2/5

I don't think I've ever listened to a Kinks album. It's so British. I don't think I know enough about the Kinks, but I'm confused about the vibes here. garden concert? carnival? psychedelic? It's fine - but I'm not sure I would choose to listen to it again?

The Rolling Stones

3/5

How did I not know they had a Route 66 cover?? I Just Want To Make Love To You sent me down a rabbit hole to make sure it wasn't in fact the Jimmy Dean commercial song... Okay, no, I guess it's just the harmonica in general Solid, in general, all around. Lots of head-bopping.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Definitely the first Smith's album I've listened to It's giving the Conjuring 2 vibes Overall, would listen to again as background music

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

1/5

ok first thought - "I'm nervous, what is this?" Yeah, I don't think this one is gonna be for me. I assume a bunch of people have sampled this album and that's why we're here?

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

1/5

this is just not it for me

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

all i know of smashing pumpkins going into this was that song in Guitar Hero titled something I don't remember Oh, I didn't know Today was their song! I know this one! I'm liking it. It's very 90s.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

1/5

Well, I know I like Maps, but other than that, this will be a first for me. Ok well starting off...not strong. This is stressing me out. See Maps just feels so different than the rest of the album. And I like it. But I don't like the rest? The last two songs were fine.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

3/5

Good vibes and cool to hear the different range of songs he has. I would listen again

2/5

I don't think I had ever listened to a full album of his. It was okay. Kinda just faded into the background for me today.
