Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Such a good album! Weird thing about Killing in the Name is that it was a constant throughout all club nights at uni - Drum and Base night, goth night, standard trendy music club - they all played this and everyone would all sing along another remarkable thing is that no one seems to listen to the lyrics of Rage - I've learnt so much reading into Hoover, MLK's assassination after listening to lyrics - but I guess the tunes are so banging the political message is ignorable - which is a shame. Bombtrack is by far my least favourite track - start at 2 and work down and it's a 10/10 album

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

5/5

Loved it! Very easy to tap along to so probably not the best album for work times

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Immigrant Song is really good but the rest isn't really my cup of tea - nothing else that stands out to me

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

Pleasant but generally unremarkable - a few fun tracks and easy to work to as it's not very distracting. Enjoyable cover of Come on Eileen That's the best I can say about it unfortunately

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

3/5

Yawn - didn't do it for me at all.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

Some classics but also some really dreary tracks that I'm not here for

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

Liked this! Very easy to listen to

Ramones

3/5

Blitzkrieg Bop is a classic but this whole album was incredibly samey. Enjoyable but I doubt I'd listen through the whole thing again

Either Or

Elliott Smith

2/5

Better the second time I listened but still dreary

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Nirvana is a band that I'd never sit down to play but always enjoy when I do hear them. The tracks released as singles carry the album imo

Slipknot

2/5

I don't like Slipknot. I'm sorry, I know it was an important band to a lot of people growing up but there's so much better old and nu metal. 2/5 especially for forcing me to listen through the extended 10th anniversary edition Spotify

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

Welcome blast from the past! Gonna rate it a 5 because of the limited nuance 5 star rating system lol Black Math, Ball and Biscuit and The Hardest Button to Button are some of my faves

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

5/5

Protection

Massive Attack

4/5

Massive Attack can be a little hit or miss for me, especially later on but Protection and Mezzanine are great albums

The Velvet Underground

3/5

First track was dreary but I enjoyed the rest

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

4/5

This was lovely

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

I feel very much that I need to be listening to this on vinyl while high to fully appreciate this album. Heroes is best known but Sons of the Silent Age felt like classic Bowie to me. The discordant Sense of Doubt following the upbeat V-2 Schneider would just be cruel in that scenario though!

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

3/5

Enjoyed enough but I'm not sure it'd be something I'd turn to
