Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

the kind of rock music that I love the least. Around the same time, the best rock music ever was created by the talking heads, joy division, the cure and so many great rock bands, that I don't understand why this boring band got any attention.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Great album. funky, slick, romantic. A coherent album which sometimes sound like a medley. I prefer the politics of 'what's going on' over the romanticism of 'let's get it on' but still this is a great album.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

average album. I don't like aerosmith at all. This was a nice surprise, though.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

great. i forgot how much energy it contains.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

5/5

Great american rock album. deep, contemplative, emotional.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

3/5

Old school. A bit boring. Does not pass the test of time. For hip hop historians.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

3/5

I don't like hip hop but this one was nice. a bit exhausting. Jesus walks is a good song.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

The production is innovative and influential. It is not really a Christmas album but more of a 60's pop album. The famous wall of sound sounds today a bit too monochromatic .

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

nice. combination of early 80s and punk. Some memorable songs.

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

5/5

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

One of the greatest pop albums ever

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

A masterpiece. One of the most iconic albums ever and one of the rare cases in which the most popular is also the best.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

2/5

Nice, some great songs, some too naive. Not an album I will find myself listening to in any circumstances

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

The harmonies are beautiful but most of the songs are a bit boring.

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

2/5

I find this album a bit boring. It may be important politically, but from musical point of view it is very standard.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

I was surprised. It is quite good. The sound is more aggressive than their latter hits and the melodies are catchy. A punk atmosphere with a wider sound than usual

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

I was sceptical whether this album will sound good after thirty years, but did. It was great listening to it. A sequence of one great song after the other.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

one of the greatest albums of all times. The songs are a bit too long but this is an amazing mix of black music traditions than sounds fresh as if it was recorded today. In fact, you can hear the influence of this album in many of the current music.

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

2/5

boring

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

Nice. I don't like The Who, but keith moon's drumming and some of their early singles are nice.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

nice. a bit too straightforward and simple. great guitar playing and lots of energy and sex appeal

3/5

Prehistoric. Not one of my favorites.

Maxwell

3/5

OK. very slick. over produced. a bit boring.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

4/5

I love elbow.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

5/5

One of the great and dark rock albums. This album sound is so influential (mainly the bass lines) that youu can trace it in almost every post punk album of the last 40 years.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

4 very long songs, but it is so dynamic that the hour of listening passes very quickly. Ideal of cooking hours.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

3/5

Not one of the best Kate Bush's albums, but it is still nice.

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

4/5

Musically it is nice, but listening to a parody is not much fun. It is too intellectual and not funny. You can't really attach to it. I understand the historical importance, though.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

one of the truly great albums of all time. Maybe the first 'rock as high art' masterpieces.

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

Not so original but very much fun

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

The Grand Tour

George Jones

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

One of my all time top ten

1999

Prince

4/5

the electronic 80s sound of funk is too synthetic. I prefer the 70's warm sound. But Prince's song writing and coolness is endless.

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

3/5

nice. One Mega hot and the rest are not less good. early 90's pop/

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

3/5

cute
