Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers

Morrison Hotel by The Doors

Manassas by Stephen Stills

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Why is this on the list? There are much better albums from Yeah Yeah Yeahs that are more deserving. This one loses me after the first couple of tracks.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa

Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea by PJ Harvey

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins

Achtung Baby by U2

This album was on every walkman/discman and radio in the early 90's and I hadn't heard it since. Some of the tracks are great and better than I remember, but the production and drum tracks are so steeped in the era that the whole album feels stuck in 1991.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council

Paul Weller, a social consciousness in the Thatcher era, plenty of guest musicians; this album should be great, but it's a mess of styles muddied by ever present 80's synths and saxophone. I wanted to like this one, as I do early and contemporary Paul Weller. Unfortunately, this is about as bad as the mid-80's has to offer.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix

Can't help but wonder what would have come next. I'm more familiar with the earlier two albums, this is the first time I listened to Electric Ladyland all the way through. As others observed, it does meander and lack focus, but still a great listen.

Disintegration by The Cure

This album goes into the (very small) pile of albums that are so good I can't listen to them anymore. I still remember the eeriness of listening to the end of the album slowing down as my walkman batteries died.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf

High Violet by The National

This is a great listen, but doesn't break any new ground. Lyrically, it does some interesting things, it has that great indie feel of saying something important, even if what that is isn't quite clear. Sometimes sad boring white people need sad boring white music to get them through the day and this delivers.

Protection by Massive Attack

Eagles by Eagles

This album is dreadful and knowing that it (per wiki) "played a major role in popularizing the country rock sound", I hate it even more. Where is my option for negative stars??

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession by Laura Nyro

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit

This was ridiculously boring, too incessant to be truly ambient but never fully transports you anywhere as it doesn't have anywhere to go. Feels like being stuck in a 90s dance bar for eternity.

Street Signs by Ozomatli

I don't care what genre, the world needs more socially conscious music that makes you want to dance as much as this does. I wouldn't normally gravitate to any of the genres explored on this album, and can't say I would go back to it, but glad I now know it exists.

21 by Adele

Incredible voice, produced to 'perfection' but totally bland and made for the masses. It has it's place, which is not on my list.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers

The Undertones by The Undertones

An upbeat, apolitical take on UK punk with unmistakable vocals and endless hooks. When an album contains John Peels favourite track, you know it's a good one!

Kimono My House by Sparks

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

Talking Heads are always pretty great, sometimes fantastic, but during this era, I find it hard to listen to anything but Stop Making Sense. The album versions of Heaven and Life During Wartime on this one are just not the same!

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys

The first few tracks on this album are fantastic, passionate and memorable, though it doesn't hold up through out. This band continues to create, and after this listen, I feel they definitely deserve a deeper exploration.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers

What a bizarre, disturbing and delightful listen. Never bothered to pay attention to this band in the early 90's but knowing this was released in '87, it's easy to identify that the sound and experimentation influenced much of the 'grunge' that followed it. The amount of one star ratings on this album earned it an extra from me but I doubt I will ever listen to it again.

Smile by Brian Wilson

It can't get a 5 because I feel it is lacking the magic and fun of the original recordings. It's brilliant and beautiful but original flavour is always the best.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton

Even those who vow they hate country cannot hate Dolly, myself included. Her voice is mesmerizing, seemingly without effort, and her storytelling is perfection. My only critique is that the world she portrays, with all of it's dysfunctional relationships and social injustices, seems somehow quaint. While she paints such a clear picture of inequality, no one would ever call it protest music.

The College Dropout by Kanye West

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes

A weird one, it's derivative of so much great music that came before but sounded like nothing else that was popular at the time it released. Admittedly, I loved it at the time but would now gravitate to older, more 'genuine' sounds now.

Solid Air by John Martyn

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush

The Cars by The Cars

This album has that essential New Wave sound, but feels like it was made to be a commercial success rather than from any real artistic passion. Due to my age, I am immediately drawn to that nostalgic 'radio new wave' sound so it gets a better rating than it should.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode

The Poet by Bobby Womack

This is the only album that I've rated but not listened to in it's entirety. Bobby Womack had a fantastic voice, but the music to accompany it on this album is atrocious (at least the first five tracks). Not recommended for a Monday morning listen!

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys

Sea Change by Beck

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis

This album justifies my dislike of the saxophone, when it's not screaming in my right ear, the tracks all have a great groove.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet

It's OK

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash

This was a chore to get through. Beautiful harmonies, flawless instruments but man was it boring. Adding the faves to a 2006 remaster is skewing the ratings.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

Drunk by Thundercat

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan

Harvest by Neil Young

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

Hysteria by Def Leppard

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley

Crazysexycool by TLC

Repeater by Fugazi

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell

All Directions by The Temptations

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter

Dummy by Portishead

Your Arsenal by Morrissey

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto

Triangle by The Beau Brummels

2112 by Rush

Gah!

Space Ritual by Hawkwind

Hard to know if they take themselves too seriously or not seriously at all. Better than I expected.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head by Coldplay

I waited 20 years to listen to this album. I thought maybe, when forced, I'd find something endearing. Nope, just music to listen to while walking through the mall, I hate malls. Not the worst on the list though, so one bonus star.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys

This is one of those albums that makes me sad I missed it when it was new. It would have become one of my favourites, and I would have been able to sing along on a re-listen 30 years later.

The Score by Fugees

The Next Day by David Bowie

Every Picture Tells A Story by Rod Stewart

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp

Kala by M.I.A.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

Absolute perfection, flawed and broken perfection. The influence of The Smiths is undeniable. Too bad Morrissey turned into such a odious being that many are ashamed to have once admired. Can't help but think he likes it that way though.

In Utero by Nirvana

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood

The Clash by The Clash

xx by The xx

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney

Unknown to me before now, this one challenged me both in terms of genres outside my norm and geo-political issues I'm woefully under-educated on. I'm thankful for the exposure, but didn't enjoy it enough musically to add it to a regular rotation.

Mott by Mott The Hoople

The Joshua Tree by U2

Being There by Wilco

This is one of those albums to judge your friends by. I for one, don't get it, and don't get those who do.

Graceland by Paul Simon

Killing Joke by Killing Joke

Wow, really liked this one. I would have loved to listen to the original, as opposed to the remaster, as the band produced it themselves and I can only imagine that the intent of that was heavily muted on a 2005 digital remaster

Dear Science by TV On The Radio

All Mod Cons by The Jam

The Renaissance by Q-Tip

Abbey Road by Beatles

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Sound Affects by The Jam

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul by Otis Redding

Black Monk Time by The Monks

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band

Central Reservation by Beth Orton

John Prine by John Prine

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground

Absolutely incredible. The last two tracks are some of the best recorded Velvet Underground. I suggest reading the '1967 in music' wikipedia article while listening .

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84) by Simple Minds

I can't tell if I genuinely liked this or if, due to my age, I am predisposed to feeling comforted by 80's synths and Jim Kerr's voice so there are may be two stars of bias in this rating.

Copper Blue by Sugar

The Predator by Ice Cube

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

Gorillaz by Gorillaz

Funny that, after so many years, this first Gorillaz outing sounds like Blur b-sides.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits

New Forms by Roni Size

Definitely Maybe by Oasis

30 years later, still a Nope from me but the original is still available so stop listening to the remasters and save yourself precious hours!

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

Is This It by The Strokes

Madman Across The Water by Elton John

I Should Coco by Supergrass

Clandestino by Manu Chao

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

The Rise & Fall by Madness

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black by Public Enemy

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra

Under Construction by Missy Elliott

Me Against The World by 2Pac

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry

In The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson

Trafalgar by Bee Gees

Superunknown by Soundgarden

This has to be the worst Soundgarden album, made well after the best of grunge had faded. Louder Than Love is a much better listen.

British Steel by Judas Priest

A Seat at the Table by Solange

Boston by Boston

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish

Liquid Swords by GZA

evermore by Taylor Swift

Bossanova by Pixies

Melodrama by Lorde

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure

I wish I could hear it as it sounded on my old walkman, with crappy headphones on a crappy quality overdubbed tape that my older sisters friend gave me. Remastered The Cure loses a star.

Love the sound of this album, proto-punk at it's finest, but as a woman in the 21st century, there is a tangible and slightly greasy ick factor if you listen too closely.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies

One of those albums that comes up in the list and you think 'yes, I want to listen to that right now, how did they know?' Fact is, it's always a good time to listen to this noisy, disjointed, hell of a good time album. Also reminds me just how amazing David Bowie was at covers. Cactus on Heathen is better than the original, if that's possible.
