Butthole Surfers
1/5
Truly appalling. I own 1001 albums that are better than this and not on the list.

One stand out track. Poor album. Not worthy of the list.

The attention to detail on this album is incredible. From the quirky intro of Starlings to the outro of The Bones of You. Add in the beautiful lyrics. Put that all to one side. Guy Garvey has a unique and wonderful voice. This album is perfect and rightfully won the Mercury award when it came out.

Joy Division
5/5
Originally a punk band with songs that were hard on the ears by the time they recorded their first album they had found a unique bleak industrial synth sound and the songs were much improved. The inspiration behind the songs is well publicised which makes them even more haunting now. A brilliant album and for me the stand out tracks are Isolation, Means to an End and Decades.

1/5
Good start but quickly petered out into presumably drug fuelled nonsense.
