Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos

Superb. Before Tori Amos the only really groundbreaking female piano artist was Kate Bush. Many other artists were making bland, upbeat numbers which never really stood out. Along came Tori talking about masturbation, unrequited and lost love, religious oppression and many other things that made her stamp on the world. This album is a masterpiece.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

Very dated with misogynistic lyrics.

I’m giving this one star because of the misogynistic lyrics and general tone which has dated really badly. If we are rightly holding TV from the 50s and 60s accountable for its obvious racism then we have to also hold early rap accountable for its horrendous sexism.

Melodrama by Lorde

An amazing second album.

2112 by Rush

Pretty heavy and one paced. I don’t think this is classic Dylan.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Self indulgent rubbish.

Parachutes by Coldplay

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney

This is one of the best British albums of all time. There isn’t a bad track on it.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre

Couple of decent tracks, but pretty one-dimensional.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson

Not planning on listening to a child abuser. Thanks.

This was U2 at the peak of their powers, with their Achtung Baby follow-up showing they were an unparalleled creative force experiencing a golden period in their career. They never reached this high and far again.
