My 1001 Albums Journey

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Elastica

4/5

Yes, it's derivative, but carried off with Panache, great, fun album

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

As with the Stones, don't think I've ever sat down and listened to a Dylan album. Was expecting to hate it, dutifully sat down, put it on and realised I knew a lot of it anyway and it was not half bad, again hard to assess the impact it would have had on release

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

An album from my youth, a holy artifact to indie kids of my generation, to listen to it objectively now is interesting and almost impossible, Is it as good as it's considered, probably not. Was a massively important ground breaking album that has influenced so much since, definitely, yes.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

2/5

Difficult to rate as so far from my usual listening, I couldn't say if good for it's genre or not, it's not for me, but I didn't hate it

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

2/5

Not for me. having heard Ill Communication back in the day, and hating it, I'll always been told that subsequently they evolved into a serious, more mature and credible act, but hadn't heard anything by them. Just listened to this, better produced yes, but still shouty white boy rap.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

The reason punk was needed. Ok, harmless, but does nothing for me.

1999

Prince

2/5

I know, he's a genius, brilliant musician, great live performer ( i've even been to see him and quite enjoyed it ) but on record, just not for me ! Too far removed from what I like
