Popular Reviews

Green by R.E.M.

R.E.M. are a weird band. Objectively I understand why people like them, but at the same time find it wild that people could think this is the greatest music they’ve ever heard!

1999 by Prince

I just don't get Prince, there I said it.

Future Days by Can

Now this is the weird shit I've been waiting for. Never heard of Can before but I love this type of music. It feels very ahead of it's time. I span this a couple of times today and will do so again as it was a trip. Keep this stuff coming.

Konnichiwa by Skepta

This style of music is just so uninteresting to me

Arise by Sepultura

I once heard this described as a 'riff Bible'. It is such an incredible album and it does surprise me that it is on this list, even if it is my favourite Sepultura album.

All Ratings (1089)

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 21 2021

It's fine, it's old school reggae, it's Bob. Easy listening for a Sunday morning, but doesn't get me going. Got Three Little Birds though, and that will always make me think of my Dad.

Document by R.E.M.
Dec 22 2021

I had a friend who, about 20 years ago, used to play REM's greatest hits all the time. I was not a huge fan of them back then; some of the hits aren't bad but this is my first album experience. I'm not shocked that nothing here has changed my mind on the band. It's the guys voice I find a bit annoying I suppose, and the fact I just find this music really bland. More power to the people who like this but I like a bit more meat on my musical bones. Ohh, Strange starts off a bit like a watered down Green Day song, that was the highlight of the album. I can appreciate the hits from this album; they are solid enough. There are actually a few other flashes in here that go beyond mediocre.

American Idiot by Green Day
Dec 23 2021

Where to start? I got into Green Day back in '02, when I was 19. I played the shit out of International Superhits! When American Idiot dropped I had just seen Green Day headline Leeds festival (my first festival and Green experience) so to say I was in the height of my fanboy phase is an understatement. I remember watching the American Idiot music video weeks before and no joke, every single damn one of my friends owned this album. The end of 2004 and going into 2005 was a great time in my life and this album was the soundtrack. It was everywhere I went. House parties? Gaming with friends? While I was at work? This album was on constant rotation by me and everyone I hung out with. It was huge. It was my favourite Green Day album for the longest time but I rarely listen to it now. I have listened to it so many times that I kinda ruined it for myself. It will always be a 5* album for me though. The one song I can still happily revisit is Jesus of Suburbia. That song has everything. The other highlights for me are American Idiot, Holiday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, St. Jimmy, Give Me Novacaine, Wake Me Up When September Ends and Homecoming. Pretty much the whole album.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Dec 24 2021

Metallica have been in my musical DNA from a very early age, thanks to my older brother. I fell in love with them hard, myself, when I was about 20. They were my gateway into metal and for the longest time they were my all time favourite band. They have since been surpassed by Coheed and Cambria, but Master of Puppets remains a top tier Metallica album for me, as well as being one of the greatest representations of metal at it's finest. I love all the songs here, with the exception of Leper Messiah. That song leaves a bit to be desired but every other song is a banger. They've all been reviewed a million times but the longer songs Orion, and the title track are the best for my money. Not to say the others are slouches. Battery may be the single greatest metal opener, alongside Angel of Death and Clenching the Fists of Dissent. My first live experience watching Metallica was Download Festival 2006. It was the 20 year anniversary of this album and they played it in it's entirety and I kid you not when I sat I had an out of body experience! I there my whole being, body and soul into that show and was lucky to make it out alive! Perfection, or close enough.

Dec 26 2021

It's a fun Christmas album, but still a Christmas album. I'm not someone who listens to certain music in certain seasons, other than at Christmas of course. I knew the majority these songs, and they are Christmas classics. A really good Christmas album is still just a Christmas album. I would never have much use for it outside of the season. Due to this I can't really rate it highly, even though it does what it should really well.

Dec 27 2021

I don't listen to a great deal of old school hip hop, it's basically NWA I listen to. This is fine though, I've head some Public Enemy before, and definitely Bring Da Noise, due to being a metal head. You could argue that song was the precursor of Nu Metal. I might give this another spin in the future.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Dec 28 2021

I can't say I've ever listened to a Neil Young album, so going in blind here. I'm not sure I even know any of the songs on this record. It's always weird rating an album with so much history and personal connection, when you have none yourself. I love that this COULD have been hugely influential on my music taste, had I been exposed to it as a kid. This starts of nicely enough and has a bluesy/country feel that I was not expecting. I can hear some Dylan influence in here as well. I gave this a second spin immediately after first, so I guess it was pretty good.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Dec 29 2021

Another classic I never got round to checking out. Of course I already know the majority of the songs. I've always loved Highway Star, and it is still the highlight of the album as far as I'm concerned. Just a really great rock album that is rightfully loved by many.

Dec 30 2021

I recognise the album cover but never listened to this band before. Due to the name I was going into this hoping it would be way more Psychedelic! It was pretty good though and I'd give it another shot sometime.

Dec 31 2021

Not bad sound, I guess they were pioneers of this genre? Not what I was expecting but pretty good.

Jan 01 2022

I always kinda liked Maggie May. I never would have listened to this normally and neither of my parents were particularly fans. I felt I'd like this more than any of his later albums. It's nicely bluesy and country in places. A nice listen for sure.

Hotel California by Eagles
Jan 02 2022

A very pleasant listen. I obviously knew the hits but also liked things like the little orchestral interlude. Not a band I've ever has much inclination to delve further into, but this is nice.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jan 03 2022

I went in open minded, but I felt this wouldn't be my thing. It's got that 80s vibe, and I am really not a fan of 80s pop. I'll continue to spin these sort of albums to see if I can be surprised but this one didn't do it for me at all.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jan 04 2022

Yea this was nice. You can't really go wrong with all these classic 60s albums. I already knew a few songs and I'll likely revisit.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Jan 05 2022

Nice enough listen. Not much grabbed me but pleasant enough.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jan 06 2022

My first Elvis album experience. Not bad by any stretch, and I can see why people are such huge fans. I would've liked to listen to this with my Dad ❤

Jan 07 2022

This wasn't a bad listen musically, but I am REALLY not a fan of Morrisey's vocal delivery, I find it kind of grating. It certainly effects my enjoyment of this album and brings the score down. I know I won't be revisiting this but I'm OK with that.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jan 08 2022

It took me a long time to really get around to giving Radiohead a good go. I started to delve into them just over a year ago. I've listened to all their albums, and although I have no clear favourites this is up there. I know this album will continue to grow over time, but at the moment it is a solid 4.

Future Days by Can
Jan 09 2022

Now this is the weird shit I've been waiting for. Never heard of Can before but I love this type of music. It feels very ahead of it's time. I span this a couple of times today and will do so again as it was a trip. Keep this stuff coming.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jan 10 2022

Pretty middle of the road rock, or at least that's how it feels to me. It's alright.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jan 11 2022

A pretty solid album. The songs aren't quite as memorable as those on Machine Head, but still really good.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jan 12 2022

This album exactly how I expected an 80s goth pop album to sound. I'm not a fan of 80s pop for the most part and this has too much of that era in its sound. I'd be interested to hear any of their later albums, and may give the band another try at some point.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Jan 13 2022

I've never heard of these guys before and had high hopes, based on the album cover alone. This was fine, but very of its time. Unfortunately the 80s aren't a time that I particularly love so it wasn't as enjoyable for me as I'd hoped.

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Jan 14 2022

There's a reason I don't listen to anything pre 60s. I'm sure this is great, it's just not pushing my buttons.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Jan 15 2022

I've never had a problem with Jane's Addiction, however nothing I've heard has ever made me want to listen any further. This was a really nice surprise. I liked this way more than I thought I would. I will 100% be spinning this again, great stuff.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jan 17 2022

Nice, this is like the French answer to Mike Oldfield.

Jan 18 2022

This album did very little for me. I can't even really remember much about it and I've only just finished it!

Jan 19 2022

One of my fave Beatles albums. Its punching for their best, for me, but just falls slightly short. Still undeniably great though.

Skylarking by XTC
Jan 20 2022

Despite it not being my thing, it had moments that I didn't mind.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Jan 21 2022

Loving the lyrics on this. I'll probably give it another go sometime. Nothing game changing but lyrically interesting if nothing else.

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 22 2022

I don't listen to as much hip hop as I used to, but this is pretty good.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 24 2022

Yea this wasn't bad I suppose. I've not listened to a full Springsteen album before. It kinda sounded how I expected it.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 25 2022

Nice to have a more current release chucked in the mix. Not sure how I've never heard these guys, although I am aware who they are. I'll probably give this another spin, thus is really nice and the production is really good.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Jan 26 2022

I wanted to like this, really I did. I can kind of appreciate it but it just isn't for me unfortunately.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jan 28 2022

This album frustrated me a bit. I really liked parts of it, but it's all the 80s production that puts me off. I think if this album had been recorded and released 10 years earlier, I would've liked it more.

Faith by George Michael
Jan 29 2022

My brother is a big George Michael fan, and I don't mind the odd song. Of course I know Faith and there were a few other nice surprises in there. Considering I don't like 80s pop, pretty much in all cases, this was nice. It was bordering on a 4 if I'm honest.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jan 30 2022

This is why I am here, to discover bands and albums that I have no clue about. I went into this hoping for good things. It was fine though, nothing special on first listen.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Jan 31 2022

Nice female fronted punk. Reminds me of a slightly more modern Souxsie and the Banshees

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Feb 01 2022

This, and Americana by The Offspring, were the first two albums I owned. I was 16 when this album came out and my brother burnt me a cassette tape of it. I have vivid memories riding the bus to college listening to this album on repeat. It was huge to me and totally suckered me in. I loved the follow up album but by like 2003 I was starting to move towards metal and punk rock. I still listen to this album from time to , and rate it highly.

Feb 02 2022

Korn have always been one of those bands where I like a handful of songs, but never really fell for any of their albums. Of course this has Freak On a Leash, amongst a few other hits.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Feb 03 2022

This is one that I have on vinyl, an original press that belonged to my dad ❤ I obviously had to bust it out for this. I don't have a great deal of experience with Zappa, outside of this album, but I do really dig this. It's a great listen top to bottom and that fuses jazz with prog rock at the time. Great stuff

Feb 04 2022

A nice pleasant enough listen. I might revisit one day as this was alright.

Disintegration by The Cure
Feb 05 2022

I don't have too much of a problem with Robert Smith's voice, although I thought I might. This is quite a nice listen but didn't particularly enthrall me.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Feb 06 2022

I found this really bland. I may be holding a prejudice against this band as The Dear Hunter are one of my favourite bands, but people always think I'm talking about this band when I mention them.

All Directions by The Temptations
Feb 08 2022

Lovely listen, it really is. I can repeat an album that has an 11+ minute funk epic!

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 09 2022

I'd heard lots of praise for this in recent years and it was pretty good. Will definitely be spinning again. Very synth heavy in places and it's almost like a post-rock album at times

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Feb 10 2022

A nice country/folk album. Quite a pleasant listen

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Feb 11 2022

Mainly instrumental and not half bad.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Feb 12 2022

Banger after banger on this one. Not the sort of music I'd usually choose to listen to, but this is good.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Feb 14 2022

This album is fine. Quite why it is in the list of 1001 greatest albums, I don't know.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Feb 15 2022

I dunno, it seems like fairly uninspiring hip hop to me. If anything he sounds as bored as I felt.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Feb 16 2022

A second hip hop album that pretty much underwhelmed me. It was the first genre I fell for but I guess I'm happy just listening to the hip hop I know, and not too hot on looking for something new.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 17 2022

Never been a huge fan of The Doors, this album is as good as any of the others I heard. A few nice songs and I can see why others like them.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Feb 18 2022

I liked this. You could hear the influences this band had on many bands that came after them.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Feb 19 2022

Another day, another Bowie album. Like most I can take it or leave it. It's a nice album to listen to but nothing that really makes me want to come back to it.

Feb 20 2022

My Dad was a fan of all things prog, and Traffic were one of his favourites. I have a copy of this on vinyl that belonged to my Dad. I can't say I love it as much as my Dad did, but this is pretty good.

Parklife by Blur
Feb 21 2022

Great album. I vividly remember my sister got a CD player and this album, back in 94, for her 15th birthday. She played this album a lot and I always kinda liked it. Haven't played it in years but it's still great.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 22 2022

Full of bangers. This album has got to be one of the most accessible hip hop albums of all time. Great stuff.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Feb 24 2022

Pretty sweet. I don't think I've ever actually listened to Sonic Youth before but I'd check this our again.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Feb 27 2022

Of course I know the hits but first time listening to an album. I love punk but generally not the classic stuff. This is better than average though and reminds me of The Dead Kennedys.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Feb 28 2022

Nice enough for my first Gaye album. The sort of thing my wife and I could probably listen to together.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Mar 01 2022

I get why people like this but I don't really think it's my thing. It's fine though.

Scum by Napalm Death
Mar 03 2022

A landmark album. I am a huge metal head but I can't listen to a great deal of grindcore. I prefer the longer songs, so especially the first half.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Mar 04 2022

This takes me back 20 years! My brother was really into his early 00's RnB/Hip Hop. Nice listening, for nostalgia's sake, but wouldn't revisit.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Mar 05 2022

I'm not as in love with Nirvana as the majority of people seem to be. This is clearly a landmark album though and I can't really fault it.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Mar 06 2022

It's country, and as much as it's pleasant, country doesn't do anything for me.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 07 2022

Nice enough, I remember Maps being on Guitar Hero, or Rock Band or something. Nice listen.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Mar 08 2022

These old school albums are very much of their time. Unfortunately The Beatles have always been as far back as I can go.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Mar 09 2022

I was already pretty sure Roxy Music wasn't for me. This only proved me right, couldn't finish it.

Pornography by The Cure
Mar 10 2022

Another classic band/album that I have already experienced enough to know they're not really my thing. I wasn't proven wrong.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Mar 11 2022

Another 80s pop album, which is definitely not my genre.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 13 2022

I get why she is loved, but not for me.

21 by Adele
Mar 15 2022

Good songs but not my bag.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Mar 16 2022

I'm not generally a fan of the classic punk era but I do like The Damned!

B-52's by The B-52's
Mar 17 2022

It's a no from me.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Mar 18 2022

One of my all time favourite albums and possibly my favourite by Stevie.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Mar 19 2022

It's quite bloated but it's not terrible.

2112 by Rush
Mar 20 2022

It's a classic for a reason. I'm a big fan of Dream Theater, who were in many ways just a heavier Rush. Outside of a few sings though I've never got into Rush.

Ctrl by SZA
Mar 21 2022

Couldn't even finish it.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Mar 23 2022

It was fine but really don't see how it made it into this list.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Mar 25 2022

I can kind of appreciate Kate Bush, but it's not my thing.

1999 by Prince
Mar 26 2022

I just don't get Prince, there I said it.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Mar 29 2022

It's fine as far as old school blues goes.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Mar 30 2022

It's nice background music but the album was too long for me.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 01 2022

60s music for me is usually completely overshadowed by The Beatles. This is great. Obviously the singles are the best, but it's all good

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Apr 02 2022

More blues, it's fine

Melodrama by Lorde
Apr 03 2022

As far as modern music goes, on the pop side of things, I like it

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Apr 04 2022

I just can't get on with Morrisey's vocals, I find them really grating!

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Apr 07 2022

Easy listening but not my jam

Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 10 2022

Now this a band I've always kinda liked but never deep dived into them. Pretty good.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Apr 11 2022

It's fine but I don't really get the appeal.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Apr 12 2022

I'm not a huge Rush fan but this may be my favourite of theirs

Timeless by Goldie
Apr 14 2022

A gave this a go. Really not my jam but actually more likeable than I imagined

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Apr 15 2022

Yea it was ok

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Apr 16 2022

I can deal with some eras of Madonna. This is not one of them.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Apr 17 2022

Rocking! Loved them for years and good to see them on here.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Apr 18 2022

I liked it a lot and will definitely revisit. Reminded me of Mike Oldfield.

Suede by Suede
Apr 19 2022

This is a nostalgia hit, my sister used to love this band.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Apr 20 2022

I used to like a few Kid Rock songs as a kid, I couldn't finish this though.

Aja by Steely Dan
Apr 22 2022

Yea this was pretty nice actually

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Apr 23 2022

As a huge metal head, I've never really actually got on with Iron Maiden. This ones ok

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Apr 24 2022

I had no idea this was an industrial band/album. It reminded me of Ministry, which I was fine with. Nice surprise here.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Apr 25 2022

This is the sort of thing I like to get thrown my way. Totally out of my wheel house, and I've never heard of him before.

The Cars by The Cars
Apr 26 2022

A nice listen

John Prine by John Prine
Apr 27 2022

Country just ain't for me

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Apr 29 2022

Nice to have something that's kind of in my wheelhouse, that I'd not heard of. This was OK but nothing amazing

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Apr 30 2022

I love the 90s. Yea, another album full of hits from my childhood

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
May 02 2022

Not quite what I was expecting from my first Kraftwerk experience. This is way more atmospheric than I imagined it'd be. Nice

May 03 2022

I've been aware of this band for ages but never heard a lick. This wasn't bad but I was a bit underwhelmed. I may revisit though

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
May 04 2022

Easy listening but nothing much to it.

May 05 2022

Not bad at all, quite relaxing and nice to find an artist I'd never heard of.

Murmur by R.E.M.
May 06 2022

I'm just not a fan of REM. I can't actually believe this is the third album of theirs on here!

The Man Who by Travis
May 07 2022

Not bad as far as this type of music goes

In Rainbows by Radiohead
May 08 2022

I'm no expert on Radiohead, but of all the albums of theirs I've heard this is not one of the best. Not bad though.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
May 09 2022

Nice little album of it's era, not that I know many of the tunes off this one.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
May 10 2022

This is Latin American jazz. I don't know or listen to enough Latin America jazz to distinguish if this is great or not. It's fine but I wouldn't choose to listen to this.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 11 2022

One of my first rock records. Amazing album

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
May 12 2022

I liked this enough to definitely revisit.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
May 13 2022

Nice, better than the other PJ Harvey album I've listened to I think.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
May 15 2022

More of the sort of alternative music that I was hoping to hear more of. This is lovely relaxing music and the sort of thing my wife likes. As expected, when listening to this she asked me who it was.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
May 16 2022

I'm not really a huge fan of Pink Floyd but I know about Syd and his history. I was interested to hear this and I'm sure I could love it more on further listens but I'm not sure I'll revisit often.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
May 17 2022

I can't say I ever choose to listen to this style of music but it's nice enough. I don't really have a point of reference as to whether this I'd exceptional or not.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
May 19 2022

Objectively this isn't bad at all, but it's just really not my jam.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
May 22 2022

Some nice smooth reggae. It helped that I was listening on a Sunday afternoon

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
May 23 2022

Yea it's OK, I liked that other album of theirs more

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
May 24 2022

My first listen to a My Bloody Valentine, which is a surprise. Not sure what I was expecting, other than to maybe like this more than I did. It was solid though.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 25 2022

I liked this WAY more than I thought I would!

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
May 27 2022

Funky fresh,it was alright

Drunk by Thundercat
May 28 2022

I remember checking this out a few years ago. I liked it, even though I'm not super into this style of music

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
May 30 2022

This sort of thing will only ever be background music, and the sort that I would personally never play.

The Visitors by ABBA
May 31 2022

I've been looking forward to getting some ABBA. I think I only knew one song from this album. It was OK but think I'll dig some of their classics even more.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jun 01 2022

Chock full of hits. The is the kind of Carpenters type music I can dig

Harvest by Neil Young
Jun 03 2022

I think I've got this on vinyl somewhere, it's fine, nothing special though.

Fun House by The Stooges
Jun 04 2022

The Stooges are ok and this is an alright listen. As a huge punk fan this doesn't do much for me.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jun 05 2022

As far as soundtracks to movies I've never seen go, this isn't too bad.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jun 06 2022

I didn't realise the Mastodon cover of A Spoonful Weighs a Ton was a Flaming Lips song. This was surprisingly better than expected.

Jun 07 2022

Not as good as their later albums but clearly a sign of things to come.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jun 08 2022

As with many albums I seem to be rating, it was OK, nothing more

90 by 808 State
Jun 09 2022

I just don't get how people can listen to this at all, let alone rate it one of the greatest albums of all time! This is coming from someone who listens to some unlistenable music

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jun 10 2022

What an album! Yes there's the issue with the inaudible bass but it's Metallica at their most technical, on the cusp of world domination, when they were still pissed off. They were grieving for Cliff and they put this monster out. What I would give to be able to go back and see them on this tour.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jun 11 2022

What a great album. It's one that I've only fairly recently started listening to, which is weird.

Destroyer by KISS
Jun 12 2022

As this someone who can't stand Gene Simmons, I have never listened to a KISS album. I went in with an open mind and this wasn't terrible. They're actually pretty cheesy and remind me of Meatloaf

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jun 13 2022

I've been a casual Cypress Hill fan for years, but never heard this album before. A sign of things to come I guess, but not their best.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jun 14 2022

I've listened to enough David Bowie to know he'll never be my favourite artist, but I respect him. Hunky Dory is my favourite.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jun 15 2022

Really great actually, I'll be sticking this on again

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 16 2022

This was more punk rock than 80s pop than I was expecting. Not all that bad

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 17 2022

I'll admit, I went into this sure that I'd dislike it. I didn't love it, far from it, but it was more complex and varied than I'd thought a Police album could be.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jun 18 2022

Bit fed of saying albums are just 'fine', but here's another one 😅

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jun 19 2022

Another 60s rock album that I probably didn't need. It was fine.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jun 20 2022

A great start to the band and heavy metal as a genre. Some real classics in here.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jun 21 2022

Classically beautiful but not the sort of thing I'd listen to regularly.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jun 22 2022

I prefer my punk to be American skate punk/melodic hardcore from the 90s, but this is ok

Jun 23 2022

Not heard this album before, although I of course know some of the songs. A sign of greater things to come.

Arrival by ABBA
Jun 24 2022

Actually quite a pleasant listen. I obviously knew the singles but there other nice songs as well.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jun 25 2022

Nice. Another I'd likely never have heard without this site. Not a genre I'd obsess over but this was something different

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jun 27 2022

I remember getting this the Christmas of '97. I wasn't interested in the slightest. Angels was alright but this was Robbie from Take That, and that was what my sister listened to! Outside of the singles this feels like Robbie trying to establish himself in the Britpop scene, as here are some serious Oasis/Blur similarities here. He was a little too late to the show but this isn't bad.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Jun 30 2022

Pretty unoffenssive rock. It's fine but not particularly great.

Signing Off by UB40
Jul 01 2022

It's reggae, I like reggae

Jul 04 2022

One of the better hip hop albums and one I definitely should've been into back when I first got into hip hop.

Elastica by Elastica
Jul 05 2022

Another classic my sister used to play a lot

Smash by The Offspring
Jul 06 2022

Not my fave Offspring album but an absolute banger

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Jul 07 2022

Getting tires of saying albums are just 'fine', but here's another one that is just that.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Jul 08 2022

Surprisingly good. I went in with low expectations but this was pretty cool.

Odelay by Beck
Jul 10 2022

I went into this expecting some sort of 90s Britpop album but this was way better than I could've imagined, great stuff

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Jul 11 2022

For some reason I thought I was going to like thos more than I did. It was ok

Debut by Björk
Jul 16 2022

Not my favourite björk album, I think she clearly got better as she went on, but a pretty solid debut

Arise by Sepultura
Jul 18 2022

I once heard this described as a 'riff Bible'. It is such an incredible album and it does surprise me that it is on this list, even if it is my favourite Sepultura album.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jul 19 2022

It's fine, another 60s album that doesn't sound as good as The Beatles

Forever Changes by Love
Jul 20 2022

Bit more Psychedelic than some of the other generic 60s stuff. Nice.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jul 21 2022

Yea a really interesting listen

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Jul 22 2022

Fine, if a little on the boring side

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 23 2022

It's pretty much flawless right? How many bangers can you fit on one album?

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Jul 24 2022

Another example of something that I'd never heard of, that us up my street. I dig things that are post-hardcore and this is nice.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jul 25 2022

I don't get Prince, probably never will

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jul 26 2022

Very of it's time, but not something I can listen to.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Jul 27 2022

Lots of songs I knew here that I didn't know who the actual artist was. Not bad.

Infected by The The
Jul 28 2022

More 80s pop, oh dear. This is slightly better than some of the other albums that have come through, but not by much.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Jul 29 2022

Pretty solid funk, soul album, not what I was expecting, in a good way.

Blur by Blur
Jul 30 2022

Loving brit pop at the moment and this is another classic

Nowhere by Ride
Jul 31 2022

Yea a nice listen

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Aug 01 2022

Yea another solid one, good vibes

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Aug 02 2022

Some flashes of good stuff but generally quite middle of the road

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Aug 04 2022

Not bad I suppose

Picture Book by Simply Red
Aug 05 2022

Simply Red were always one of the bands I said I HATED! All the singles I've heard have been atrocious and headache inducing. I went into Rhos with an open mind, and you know what it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting!

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Aug 08 2022

Couldn't really find anything I liked if I'm honest

The Predator by Ice Cube
Aug 09 2022

Ice Cube has always been one of my favourite rappers but I've not actually heard this album before. It's bordering on a 4/5 but just misses the mark.

Marquee Moon by Television
Aug 11 2022

This was really quite good

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Aug 13 2022

Went on a bit and not as good as I was hoping

Diamond Life by Sade
Aug 16 2022

Just not for me I'm afraid

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Aug 17 2022

Nice Mike Oldfield/movie soundtrack vibes. Pretty good.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Aug 19 2022

Nit really my jam to be honest

The Band by The Band
Aug 20 2022

Another 60s album, what else can I say

Station To Station by David Bowie
Aug 24 2022

Another day, another Bowie album. It's fine

Dust by Screaming Trees
Aug 25 2022

A pretty easy listening grunge album, not bad

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Aug 27 2022

It's fine, but nothing special

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Aug 29 2022

Yea, fun album

Truth by Jeff Beck
Aug 30 2022

This is nice enough, and I get a lot of Led Zeppelin parallels. They probably harm it a bit though as it's not as good as any Led Zep album

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Aug 31 2022

Couldn't make it through it, really not for me.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Sep 01 2022

It's far from their best and I'm surprised it made it onto the list to be honest

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Sep 02 2022

A whole album of Toy Story songs 😅

Sep 04 2022

So I really don't like U2, but I gave this a chance. Not as terrible as I'd thought it might be, but still not my thing

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Sep 05 2022

Fun enough album that doesn't overstay its welcome

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 06 2022

I don't mind the yeah yeah yeahs actually

Closer by Joy Division
Sep 07 2022

Yea this album ain't bad

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Sep 08 2022

Sounds like it could've been released in the 50s

Mask by Bauhaus
Sep 09 2022

Yea it's not bad I suppose

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 10 2022

How apt. I'm not too much of a fan of The Smiths, mainly because of the vocals. Unsurprisingly this didn't do much to change my opinion.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Sep 11 2022

Another day, another average album

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Sep 12 2022

I listened but don't actually remember much about it

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Sep 14 2022

Yea pretty good, and a bit out there, which I like

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Sep 15 2022

I actually don't mind Beyonce but I didn't feed these songs particularly catchy, not her best

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Sep 16 2022

Not as good as the other Britpop albums I've received

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Sep 18 2022

I can appreciate it for what it is,but would I relisten? No.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Sep 20 2022

It's fine, but another one I don't understand

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 21 2022

I knew more of these than I remembered. I'm not huge into this style but these are quite infectious songs

Tago Mago by Can
Sep 23 2022

Not as weird as I'd hoped

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Sep 24 2022

Everything I dislike about 80s music. It breaks my heart tat albums like this have a place over others

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 25 2022

Definitely a nice listen

Play by Moby
Sep 26 2022

I'm as surprised as hell to find I enjoyed this. I'll be spinning again 👍

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 29 2022

Quite nice actually, beautifully trippy.

Oct 01 2022

Not bad, I hope other Jamiroquai albums will feature as this is far from their best

Teen Dream by Beach House
Oct 02 2022

A nice trippy listen

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Oct 03 2022

Not bad, soulful voice

Graceland by Paul Simon
Oct 04 2022

I appreciate what he is trying to do here but it is just not for me

Oct 06 2022

Far from my favourite Ice Cube album. It's not terrible though, although some of it hasn't aged well.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Oct 07 2022

This is the most like The Beatles I've ever heard them sound. Unfortunately, not as good, although some songs are killer.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Oct 08 2022

Already knew some of these songs. I can hear some post punk in here, which is cool

Oct 09 2022

I'm a huge punk fan, and this is fairly good punk. I'm not too into the classic punk bands/sound but The Buzzcocks are pretty good.

Oct 10 2022

This was some good Britpop. I could hear Jarvis channelling some Bowie and Roger Waters

Rocks by Aerosmith
Oct 11 2022

Yea it's alright. Didn't realise Airbourne owed them so much

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Oct 12 2022

Paul Simon is just not really for me, I know this

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Oct 13 2022

Not my favourite hip hop artist, but not bad

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Oct 14 2022

Another album that's OK, nothing stood out particularly

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Oct 16 2022

Just full of bangers. Is it possible to listen to MJ without moving?

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Oct 18 2022

Today was the first time I realised I've only really listened to Elephant. Thos was alright, but not quite as good.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Oct 20 2022

Bit of a let down compared to the other Suede album I heard.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Oct 21 2022

Just a bit boring

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Oct 26 2022

Not my jam but I can respect it

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Oct 27 2022

I can appreciate the importance, but I'd not listen to it again

25 by Adele
Oct 30 2022

I can appreciate her voice but just find this boring

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Oct 31 2022

A bit long, but some bangers nonetheless

Abraxas by Santana
Nov 01 2022

Literally nothing wrong with this album

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Nov 02 2022

Easily my favourite Bowie album, but I'm far from a huge fan

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 03 2022

Just a bit boring to be honest

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Nov 04 2022

Surprisingly great

In Utero by Nirvana
Nov 05 2022

I think Nirvana are overrated but this is still a good album

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Nov 06 2022

As always, this was fine

Nov 07 2022

Not my favourite Stevie, but damn good

Nov 08 2022

Really pretty good, although not my usual thing

I'm not the biggest Incubus fan, although I probably should be

Nov 11 2022

Pretty generic, but not bad

Nov 13 2022

I don't get all the fuss, in all honesty

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Nov 14 2022

I can't remember literally anything about this, an md I just listened

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 15 2022

I can't stand the Pet Shop Boys

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Nov 16 2022

It was fine, no more

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Nov 17 2022

Short songs that were fine

Technique by New Order
Nov 18 2022

For an 80s pop album, it wasn't terrible

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Nov 19 2022

I do like a bit of trip hop

The Stooges by The Stooges
Nov 22 2022

More Psychedelic than I was expecting

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Nov 23 2022

Pretty good rap album

Copper Blue by Sugar
Nov 24 2022

Never heard of them, but pretty good

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Nov 27 2022

Bit fed up of saying it, but this is fine

Stankonia by OutKast
Nov 30 2022

Some bangers no doubt. A little long, but good

Doolittle by Pixies
Dec 01 2022

Grungey goodness

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Dec 03 2022

My favourite post Beatles album, but still falls short of greatness

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Dec 04 2022

Nice blusey number

Transformer by Lou Reed
Dec 06 2022

Some great hits off this one

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 10 2022

Very middle of the road

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Dec 11 2022

Dug out the vinyl for this. Pretty good

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Dec 14 2022

Black Hole Sun is a classic. The rest is ok

Low-Life by New Order
Dec 15 2022

I'll reiterate, 80s stuff generally isn't for me

Imagine by John Lennon
Dec 17 2022

I just always feel solo Beatles albums are lacking.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Dec 18 2022

Fun enough

Homework by Daft Punk
Dec 21 2022

I definitely prefer letter iteration of the band

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Dec 24 2022

Actually way better than I imagined, but probably the only Gorillaz album I could get into

Vespertine by Björk
Dec 25 2022

A beautiful album

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Dec 28 2022

Bit lame

The Specials by The Specials

Inspired most of the ska punk bands I love, classic

The Clash by The Clash
Dec 30 2022

Inspirational to almost all the punk I listen to, but does little for me

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jan 02 2023

A little long, and a little dull, but not terrible

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 04 2023

Can't really argue with The Chronic

White Ladder by David Gray
Jan 05 2023

Wow, this takes me back to '98. One of my Dad's favourite albums, rest his soul.

Roots by Sepultura
Jan 06 2023

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jan 09 2023

Jan 15 2023

Jan 16 2023

Not the best of the britpop

Jan 23 2023

Very atmospheric but not particularly interesting

Jan 24 2023

Average britpop

Jan 30 2023

Not their best, but still good

White Light by Gene Clark
Feb 03 2023

Another album that's just fine

Soul Mining by The The
Feb 04 2023

Better than most average 80s pop, but only marginally

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Feb 09 2023

I'm all for something I have no preconceptions of, but this didn't do much for me

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Feb 12 2023

Not to my tastes

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Feb 13 2023

The Bee Gees go Beatles

I knew more of these than I realised

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Mar 13 2023

It was OK, didn't think much of it

Mar 17 2023

One of my all time favourites, such raw aggression

Mar 18 2023

Another Sabbath classic

Mar 19 2023

Yea it's alright

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian

More fineness

Knew a surprising amount of these songs

OK by Talvin Singh
Apr 17 2023

This is the sort of album I've been hoping to get for a while

Apr 20 2023

I don't think it's great musically, except for Dry Your Eyes, but it's a great statement and social commentary on he early 2000s. Very nostalgic

Queen II by Queen
Apr 22 2023

Great Queen effort

Ramones by Ramones
Apr 24 2023

I'm really not a fan of the classic punk bands, but I do like the Ramones

Jun 12 2023

Pretty nice

Yea it was alright

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes

I liked it more than I thought I would

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 17 2023

Not particularly exciting

Not as good as The Beatles

Jun 26 2023

Can’t even remember most of this.

Jun 29 2023

This is really damn cool, and exactly the sort of album I was hoping to get recommended. It’s like post-rock/jazz/trip-hop!

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Jul 01 2023

Yea this is good. Nice punk rock vibe, would listen again

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jul 02 2023

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Jul 03 2023

I didn’t find this to be a particularly special hip hop album.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jul 06 2023

Can’t really understand the need for it

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jul 07 2023

Can’t fault it. I don’t really like 80s pop, but MJ is one of the few exceptions.

Green by R.E.M.
Jul 09 2023

R.E.M. are a weird band. Objectively I understand why people like them, but at the same time find it wild that people could think this is the greatest music they’ve ever heard!

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jul 10 2023

It baffles me that someone create such an erratic sounding album, that ultimately must have some sort of structure holding it together. I don’t know if any of these songs were ever played live, but I can only assume the live arrangements would only loosely follow the studio versions. For an album that sounds completely improv, surely it must be.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jul 11 2023

Lacking in some big hitters, but decent

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jul 13 2023

Not as good as Bitches Brew mind

LP1 by FKA twigs
