1001 Albums Summary

Wow, what an album to finish on, or start on if you were lucky enough to start from here. I've long been a fan of this album and John Grant in general just the way he has with words and weaving in pop culture references. I was trying to pick a fave for this review but they're all great.

I think I prefer the At Folsom Prison album from this list but still a great concept. This one feels a bit more travelling comedy show. Fave: San Quentin just for the crowd response.

The one album that's in my personal library, and a pretty great album too. Cherub Rock kicks things of nicely, Today is so lovely, Disarm is well, disarming, and Mayonaise has always been a favourite.

I remember hearing Holes in some TV show and was hooked from that moment on, but the ones mentioned in the wikipedia article don't ring any bells so bummer for that. Anyway, have been a long time fun, and really dug this listen. Hadn't really thought about the Flaming Lips angle 'til I read my colleagures review. Fave: Holes, Goddess On A hiway

The Boys Are Back In Town is one of those songs that is always played on classic rock stations. Overall I guess the album was ok, Cowboy Song certainly raised the eyebrows.

It sounds like Cypress Hill but where is Hits From The Bong, oh it's mentioned in Stoned Is the Way of the Walk.

So many quirky songs but the OG version of You Can Leave Your Hot on is quite good! I'll have to say my favourite is Political Schiece because nobody wants to hurt kangaroos.

Long time fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, was looking forward to this as part of the last 8 albums on this list. Faves: Date With The Night, Maps, Modern Romance.

Amazing, +1 for the cat.

Oh wow, what an album. Shout is so iconic and I forgot how much I liked it, was a bit worried about the rest until Everybody Wants To Rule The World kicked in with Broken and Head Over Heels / Broken being another incredible highlight. The final track Listen just left me in such a good mood.

What a great bop. Very danceable. Fave: If You Only Knew, just for the mention of the Gold Coast Big Day Out.

Immigrant Song is such a classic, Tangerine and Gallows Pole are also great.

Perfect. I see this is considered part of a trilogy with Swordfishtrombones which I also loved. So many great songs Singapore, Time, Walking Spanish, all of them!

Monday, Monday is a great track but California Dreamin' really takes the cake. And this is their debut you say, impressive.

I didn't mind this at all and then happily find that he's on the Pi soundtrack. No particular fave, just a general desire to hear more.

This is so great. I've not listened to Marianne before so this was a joy to dig into. Working Class Hero was the standout on the first listen and on the second listen every track was a hightlight.

I think learning about the band was more interesting than the album itself. Love Lives Here, Stay with Me, and Memphis were the standouts.

This album starts off so promising but then doesn't really do anything for me until Season of the Witch (what a cracker) and then fades away again.

Pure delicious funk. Fave: Papa Was A Rollin' Stone.

Quite an enjoyable rollick through the NSFW world of Ian Dury. Faves: Wake Up And Make Love With Me, Clevor Trever, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll.

I think I quite enjoyed every song except for the title track but I guess it's just a nice closer.

I'm struggling with this one. It just completely faded into the background on both listens. When reviewing the track listing I was like "huh Supersonic was on this, Cigerettes & Alcohol" no recollection at all. Maybe because nodoby is home and I decided to play this on my speakers instead of using headphones?

This one gets some nostalgia points. Back from when I was still impressionable by pop music. My wife was a Librarian so I keep hearing that instead of Liberian :) One of our cats is a bit of a smooth criminal. Fave: Man in the Mirror -- simple, classic.

Great fun afrobeat. I love the way Wonder Wonder kicks off, other faves: Frustrations, Plenty Nonsense, Stubborn Problems.

Based on my experience with the Live album I trimmed this album to it's base 12 tracks instead of the additional 15 on the deluxe editon and it was much more palatable. Still probably a bit too soon since the live album was only 5 days ago. Anyway, Ace of Spades is still great, (We Are) The Roadcrew is my fave from this one.

Good fun punk. Faves: Warrior in Woolworths, Plastioc Bag

I like how this kicks off with Strolling Down the Highway, the whole album has quite a nice feel but didn't really grab me.

It's like that scene in Back to the Future "Your kids are gunna love this" A great performance indeed.

Lovely voice, simple folk. Fave: Silver Dagger

Straight down the middle slide guitar country. Fave: The Grand Tour, She Told Me so, Who Will i Be Loving Now

Not too bad but 29 tracks on the first listen was a bit too much. I think I've I'd listened to the base 11 both times I could up this to a 4. And it looks like another Motörhead is coming soon so that will be interesting. Faves: The Hammer, Iron Horse, Capricorn

I just love the way this album feels from start to finish.

I quite got into Don't Go Near The Water, Take A Load Off Your Feet, and Student Demonstration Time, but found the rest mediocre at best.

Welcome to 70s classic radio where we play your favourite hits all day every day. More Than a Feeling is a great song but the rest of it just kind of blurred into one.

Because the Group ratings link disappears when I review a song I think about what I'm going to say and then open the Group ratings in a new window to see what others have said but only if I already know what I'm going to say and well this is the first time that I had these exact words in my mind. "This was a perfectly pleasant listen, but without knowing any Portuguese it kinda slid off my consciousness without making too much of a mark. Fave track "Tropicalia" - though that just might be because I was paying attention to track one before going back to working and letting it play in the background ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

I do like how dreamy this gets towards the end. Funnily enough 1/1 is still my top played track over the last 12 months.

Tainted Love is such a great song but the rest of the album is hmm.

The live versions sounded a bit better I think. Green River opens nicely, Lodi is interesting, Bad Mooon Rising is a fave.

Certainly interesting to see the beginnings of what his supporters believed in. Perfect Day is such an incredible song. Walk On the Wild Side is such a classic along with Satellite of Love. But there's a few oddballs in the mix as well.

I feel ike John Prine is one of those artists that songwriters always reference and I can certainly see why. Illegal Smile is a great starter, and every song just has so much character. After the first listen I would have said Sam Stone is my fave, it's just so chilling but each song just grows on you.

I really enjoyed this and thrilled to discover Fever To Tell is coming up (in about 33 more albums!). This album certainly starts off strong with Zero, Heads Will Roll, and Soft Shock.

One of thosse bands my friend was deep into and I always found pleasant enough. This album follows that, pleasnt enough. Fave: A Different Point Of View

Well it's nice enough but I really couldn't tell the end from the start from the middle.

Fantastic album, just hit after hit. Perfection.

Love this so much, every track, from start to finish, just wish it was longer.

Ah yes, love a bit of Aussie post punk. This album just is great from start to finish. Blast Off really sets the scene, Dead Joe is a screamer and Release the Bats is just wild.

Always been a big fan of Deceptacon, so it was nice to sit down with the album. Banging tunes, great to bop along to.

Lots of great classics on this. Certiainly a good album overall.

Interesting, delightful.

Very cool, I sent a link to my kiddo when I saw the mention about time signatures and they really enjoyed the album too. Time Out is such a classic and Blue Rondo à la Turk really kicks it off nicely.

It feels nice to sit down with a Nina album. Certainly some great stuff on here but Lilac Wine stands out for me today.

Love Liz but haven't spent much time with this album. I didn't really get into it as much as Whitechocolatespaceegg but still keen to dig in.

I always had a soft spot for Blur during the Britpop War days. Parklife makes me smile every time and plenty of other great tracks.

Oh man, all those samples! Sadly still relevant but such an empowering listen.

I dig it, smooth, funky, interesting. FaveS: You, WeFight/WeLove, Shaka

Great album, great voice, love the music. What a sad story.

Rattlesnakes and Forest Fire certainly caught my attention but the rest is much of a muchness.

Like a Prayer is great, Cherish is cute, Act of Contrition is funny.

I don't know a lot about Judas Priest but this is good old (80s heheh) heavy metal so I guess it's time to start my education. Fave: Grinder

Sebadoh are one of those bands that have been sprinkled throughout my play history but never really captured my attention enought o dig into. This album is ok but nothing really stood out.

Super strange and something I'd probably explore further but not today. Fave: 22 Going On 23

Wow, ok, great prog, epic song In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida glad to have heard it.

Might as well Jump.

Ok yeah, consider me a fan. This Is the Day is such a great track and The Sinking Feeling carries it over and it's all so great.

I quite enjoyed this and looking forward to the next album. It certainly got better with the second listen so here's to more.

I don't really get it, well anyway, this is the last Beatles on the list for me. Au revoir.

I found the first listen quite enjoyable and was thinking a 4 with Chicago a highlight. Second listen Jacksonville, Decatur, Casimir Pulaski Day also stood out and the the whole album just felt so lovely.

This looks to be the last of the Neil Young albums for me. I really go into Tonight's the Night but the rest of the album didn't really grab me so I would normally give this a 3 but since I've given Neil a few 4s I'll bump this.

I still feel like I missed the boat with Pavement, Cut Your Hair is pretty eponymous and a few more listens could probably bump this to a 4 but for now it's a 3.

Funnily enough Brian Eno is one of my top played artists at the moment due to the inclusion of 1/1 in a sleep playlist I listen to every night. I didn't really know much about his early days so this was a great discovery. Lots to like, Baby's On Fire, Cindy Tells Me, Dead Finks Don't Talk, and the way Here Come The Warm Jets leaves you feeling.

I always think of Kermit the Frog when I hear close to you. This album is pleasant enough.

Love it, long time fan. Hard to go past Turquoise Hexagon Sun as a fave but also quite enjoyed Aquarius and Happy Cycling during this round.

Epic, so beautiful and dramatic. So many favess: There She Goes, My Beautiful World, Nature Bot, Abattoir Blues, and O Children

I'm not quite sure I understand the inclusion of this album on this list. It's ok, but meh. Fave: First Down for the Chemical Brother vibes.

Beyond Belief comes out of the gate strong, Shabby Doll and Man Out Of Time are also highlights. Maybe I need to spend a bit more time on this so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Certainly on the second listen I started to get a bit more into this but it's not really something I want to invest time into right now. Faves: Mr Sandman, Method Man

Ok, I must admit I wasn't sure but great work Missy. Work It is an easy fave.

He certainly has a way to make all these tracks sound like his own. Fave: My Girl

Hmm, there's a Method Man album coming up as well. Well, all I've learned from this round of listening is that I don't really need any WTC in my life.

On the first listen I found the music quite entertaining and the Kanye started rapping and ruined it all. By the end of the second listen I was glad that it was over.

Rollicking good fun. Faves: Our Lips Are Sealed, Lust to Love, You Can't Walk In Your Sleep

Another hotel bar restaurant, but a bit more lush, with a grand piano and plenty of plants. Fave: Blue Skies

I like The Lemonheads and this is a pretty good album.

Wow, this is so great, so much energy, just makes me want to dance. Faves: Ponta De Lanca Africano, O Filosofo, Taj Mahal.

There are two Tracy Chapman albums in our collection and strangely enough this isn't one of them. The first two track are so good they almost take away from the rest of the album but I felt more rewarded on the second listen with tracks like Across the Lines, Behind the Wall, Mountains O'Things, and For My Lover. An easy 5 stars.

Roller Skates not included. The opener sets the scene and the grooves keep on coming.

Coming to a hotel lobby near you. Fave: The Paris Match for the Tracey Thorn vocals.

I think this confirms that I don't need any more Aerosmith in my life. After the first listen Janie's Got A Gun was stuck in my head and it's a pretty great track. The rest is mediocre, Love In An Elevator was funny when I a teen.

Two Bee Gees albums on the list and neither have those songs we all know. This album is pleasant enough but not something I'm in a rush to play again.

I've been a long time fan of this album and it was nice to hear all the songs again, especially on the second listen. Certainly Revival is the first stand out track, Desire Lines, and He Would Have Laughed are also favourites.

It's like listening to a greatest hits album. I quite enjoyed My Hometown from this round of listening.

Yeah, nah. Mama Said Knock You Out is pretty iconic. Milky Cereal is a bit of fun wordplay but overall it's not for me.

A rollicking good time. Fave: And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda

Looks like I gave the other 2 albums 5 stars so while I was thinking 4 I might have to bump it up and just call myself a fan. The singles are great and I'm sure I'd discover a few more faves with more time.

Grey Goose!

It certainly doesn't grab me as much as some of their other stuff but still a good album that probably deserves a few more spins. Certainly Street Spirit (Fade Out) is the stand out for me

So many great songs, it's certainly what brought my attention to the band.

Yeah ok, it's reggae, it's Bob. Interesting story. Faves: Exodus, Jamming, One Love

Probably a nice 4-star cafe soundtrack, you know, pleasant enough, and reliable. Fave track is Same Old Love, but no idea why spotify has it listed as (365 Days a Week).

Under My Thumb and Flight 505 are the standouts for me. Perfectly acceptable Rolling Stones.

I'm usually first in line for strange esoteric music but this one doesn't quite resonate with me. Equator stood out for me, and maybe it needs a few more listens but for now 3 it is.

Certianly interesting to hear the starting point of these folks. Nothing really here for me to stick around for though. fave: Shapes of Things

An artist I've admired for a long time. The Architect is just such an incredible song and the whole album is so dreamy and luscious.

Wow, what a way to say goodbye. Fave: Blackstar, Lazurus

I love an album that flows so nicely from start to finish. There's just something magestic about this album, what a beauty.

This album is incredibly captivating for an insturmental and it was surprisingly hard to concentrate on work while listening. Such a lovely sound. No particular fave, the whole album feels so lush.

A long time Kyuss fan and I also had a copy of the split album so Spiders and Vinegaroons was a standout for me on these listens. I did enjoy the opening track and maybe I need to spend a bit more time with QotSA so I'll bump this to a 4.

When I put this on I thought the album cover looked familiar, checking my play history I've had "Good Morning, Captain" on high rotation in the past but haven't played it since 2020! Anyway, this album is right up my alley, all 6 songs are terrific, Washer was a standout on these listens and, of course, Good Morning, Captain is still an absolute fave.

I really like this version of Springsteen, I do love great story telling, especially done simply. Fave: My Father's House

Not sure I quite got into this as much as the others but as a debut and what is claimed to be the first heavy metal album means I'll give it a bonus star. Fave: Black Sabbath

Incredible album and Australian to boot. Love these guys and remember this album blowing my mind when it first came out. Frontier Psychiatrist is just so much fun and the way the album works as a whole is just delightfult.

I could almost bump this up to a 4, certainly a side of Madonna I was not familar with. Ray of Light is a great pop track. Faves for me were Little Star, and Mer Girl.

Hmm, this didn't grab me as much as the other one on this list but maybe it's just not right for me right now. Fave: The Lung

I have a vague memory of hearing My Girls in a TV Show and getting immediately hooked. A long time fan of this album each listen for this project has brought me a lot of joy. Fave: My Girls

Reading my colleagues review it sounds like the debut is better, well that's exciting because I quite enjoyed this one. I can't pick a favourite track though the whole album just feels so comfortable.

It's a vibe I could certainly settle down into. Fave: April Skies

Great fun album. Alright and Caught By the Fuzz are great tracks. Most of the album holds up nicely and it sounds like the band was having fun making the album.

Unsurprisingly it's the first time I've sat down to listen to a Jamiroquai album. There's been a sprinkling of their songs throughout my play history and if I learnt one thing from this play through, it's that Jamiroquai is good in small doses. Each song is boppy enough but after a while it just gets grating.

I like trains

I don't understand a lot of what is going on but it's got that tinge of industrial that just grabs me. Fave: Revol

The opening and title track really grab your attention from the get go and then it's all super chill. Strawberry Letter 23 is great but Freedom Flight takes the cake for me.

I've always wondered but never really looked into the beginnings of Foo Fighters and it was an interesting read thanks to this list. Certainly this album took me by surprise and I look forward to putting it on high rotation. Fave: For All the Cows

Quite an enjoyable album, almost want to give it a 4 as it's a solid 3.5 but as I get to the end of this list the reality of listening to this again in the near future is slim. Fave: Down In The Tube Station At Mdnight

Certainly a lot more interesting than I was expecting. Still not something that's immediately going on a playlist. Fave: Don'y Look at My Shadow

Incredible debut and easily a favourite. Long time listener, first time reviewer.

It definitely got better on the second listen so maybe it deserves a bit more time. There She Goes is such a standout.

An instant fave. I've always been curious about Nitin, an artist that has popped up on a couple of compilation albums that I own. Incredible subject, heart warming vocals. Faves: All of them

Not interested, don't care, all 21 tracks sounded the same.

So this is where it all began, you can feel the underpinnings of floating in space but it's not quite as impactful but still something I'd love to spend more time with. Faves: I Want You, Sway, 200 Bars

I appreciate what Dizzee does, but I'm not the target audience. Fave: Round We Go

Another interesting Bowie album that I probably need to spend more time with. Faves: Beauty and the Beast, Heroes.

Certainly an interesting album but not something I'm immediately going to put on again soon. Fave: The Beast

Ok, early examply of rock opera, some nice psychedelic sounds, but overall a bit meh. Faves: Baron Saturday, Walking Through My Dreams

Caught by surprise yet again and based on my previous Roxy albums this is a solid 4. I quite enjoyed this with Cassanova being the standout and a lot of highlights along the way.

Maybe my expectations were a bit too high but this one didn't grab me as much as the other on this list. Maybe it needs a bit more time or I'm just not in the right fram of mind. Fave: Never Let Me Down Again

Epic from start to finish. Faves: all

Some good bluesy tunes to bop along too. Fave: He's Always There

Certianly an album I'd like to spend more time with. One Hundred Years certainly sets the scene and the whole album comes together nicely.

An old favourite. Open Up was always one of those songs that got me on the dance floor. Original is also an old favourite and this album as a whole is great.

This album just gets better with every listen. This is only my second PF album from the list with 2 more upcoming in the final 140 albums. A new appreciation, easy 5 stars: Run Like Hell really caught my attention on these listens.

I feel like this one could grow on me and I gave their other album 4 so let's go with that. Hard to pick a fave, so many short fun moments.

It's not for me, but I'm not the target audience. I didn't mind Knuckleheadz, and North Star but didn't dig too deep into any of the songs.

Good on you George for forging your own path. This album is not for me, Look at Your Hands was the one track that caught my attention.

The syle is ok, I do like socio-political content but that's only half of this store. I feel like this album is building up to something but never quite gets there.

This one didn't grab me as much as the other one but still I think it deserves a bit more time. Fave: Solid Air

Didn't quite grab me as much as Screamadelica but still something I'd like to spend further time with. Fave: Trainspotting.

When I rated the other xx album on here I said that I hadn't listened to this one. But that was wrong because this album has been on high rotation over the years I just never made the connection. An easy 5 stars, I just love the way the vocals interwine and the laid back vibes of the music.

I had a t-shirt back in the day, must've been lucky enough to catch them live at some stage. Dirty is still my favourite album, Teen Age Riot is a killer of a tune, Eric's Trip is great and I'm sure I could grow to enjoy this more with a few more listens.

Starts off great and just gets better and better. An easy 5 stars, what an album.

Maybe I need to be in a certain state of mind to fully understand this album but it certainly is interesting to see where it all started. Faves: The Gnome, Bike

I don't really know much about GLB, and if this is their signature sound then good for them. A perfectly acceptable album. Fuzzy is certainly a standout, Soft Wolf Tread, and Dixie Drug Store also caught my attention. Oh, and any mention of Chocolate Cake or Ice Cream always grabs me.

I was interested the read how each member of the band was encouraged to sing. When it came to that last track I got curious about this "Moe" person. I really wish I hadn't but good practice is seperating the art from the political. Pale Blue Eyes just steals the show for me.

Well it was certainly interesting to read up a bit about Van Halen's journey. This album is not really for me. Faves: Atomic Punk, Little Dreamer, Ice Cream Man

A long time fan, such a great concept and it's hard to imagine anyone pulling it off any better. Faves, all of them, but particularly on these listens, The Curse of Millhaven, O'Malley's Bar.

This so lovely, great mix of classic and folk.

Wow, that first track opens up like a disco and before you know it has evolved into samba. A good fun album, Pedro Navaja, and Maria Lionza are highlights for me.

What a beautiful and tragic discovery. Such a great album with a wonderful sound but such a sad story for the artist. In terms of fave tracks, certainly Antropofagos is up there along with Samba do Gringo Paulista, Abraco, and the closer. It's all good.

A pretty good album and definitive Prince sound. Faves: Let's Go Crazy, Darling Nikki, When Doves Cry, Purple Rain

Certainly a classic. Blueberry Hill, great track. Troubles Of My Own also enjoyable.

It certainly is cool. I didn't look at any track names, but that final track feels so out of place.

Another solid album from Genesis. The Battle Of Epping Forest is easily my favourite, but each track feels rewarding in it's own way.

This is an album that we have a CD copy of so it's gotten a lot of airplay over the years. A lot of good tracks on here that make it a 5, a lot of mediocre tracks that bring it back to 4, but +1 for nostalgia.

Sunflower certainly is a great song to kick things of. Weirdly Holy Man - Reprise sticks out to me more thant Can You Heal Us (Holy Man). Moon On Your Pyjamas is another fave. Certianly deserves a few more spins.

So this is 5 of 6, and looking at my past reviews it seems I like one or two tracks but never quite the whole album and this one holds that pattern too. I Want You is a standout track, Tokyo Storm Warning, and Blue Chair caught my attention.

I've quite enjoyed rediscovering this album. So many great songs, I just love the interplay between Paul and Michael on The Girl Is Mine. Thriller itself, oh man, that video clip!. Beat It, Bille Jean!

Not a lot of info about why this is on the list, it's perfectly acceptable dance music but nothing special. Sometimes was probably the standout for me.

My kiddo saw this on the list and reminded me that we recently listened to this album on a car trip. Which I guess means my kiddo has awesome taste :). Very cool album, fave is probably Cicatriz Esp, I do love me some 12 minute epic songs. But the whole album is great.

This marks the end of my Metallica journey in relation to this list. With S&M still reasonably fresh in my memory a lot of my favourites from this album are from that album. Etither way this is an incredible album

3 more Bowie albums to go as I count down from 169. All 4s and 5s so far and this is another 4 for me. Enjoyable but nothing really quite grabbed me. Faves: Aladdin Sane, The Jean Genie

Pretty fun, great old school hip hop. Love the Aerosmith collab (better together ;) ). Faves: Peter Piper, It's Tricky, Walk This Way, You Be Illin'

Longtime fan, easy 5. As part of my wind down for bed routine I listen to a playlist of songs created by Sigur Ros called Sleep. 1/1 and 2/2 are part of the playlist and instantly bring calm.

I enjoy these kind of discoveries which is why I am persisting with the final 172 albums on this list. It seems this band has crossed my path before so I look forward to digging in further. Fave: Shot By Both Sides, Motorcade

That was far more enjoyable than I was expecting.

Another easy 5, it's seems all my other reviews cover what I probably would have said here. Faves: all of it.

I think on a different kind of day I could appreciate this more, it's sombre and interesting, but not for me today.

There's just something comforting about this album. Faves: Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Paranoia Blues

Free Form Guitar, oh yeah! South California Purples, cool. Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?, sounds familiar. It probably deserves a few more listens but for now it's a 3.

I had a friend who was a huge fan. I've always found them interesting but never really got into them. Being Boring starts out strong, How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously? is a standout for me and the rest is just pleasant enougn synth pop.

It's certainly interesting to read that there was a time when Van Morrison didn't sound like Van Morrison. This sound is so synonyms now. Fave: And It Stoned Me -- everything else kind of just blends together.

So much fun and so interesting. Fave: Qongqothwane

Cute, fun, poppy. Faves: Kingsize, Snow Girl

"garage-trash novelty" -- ok, a good fun listen. Fave: What's Behind The Mask. I Was A Teenage Werefolf

Probably a 3 star album but it has a nice feeling and I'm a bit of a fan, so I'm bumping it up. Fave: Road Trippin'

Oh, another debut. Good to see where they started. It's an ok album. Interesting tracks: Radio Free Europe, Catapult, West Of The Fields.

An old time favourite and a hell of a debut although you could argue that Massive Attack was his training ground. Either way, big fan, Black Steel is incredible but the whole is great.

OMD are on of those bands that I know are famous for something but I could not tell you what. This album was a joy to discover and certainly deserves a few more spins. Fave: Joan Of Arc

Nice to hear another side of The Verve it probably deserves a few more listens but it didn't really do a lot for me today.

So captivating right from the beginning. I've always loved this album so an easy 5 stars. Faves: easily the opening, and closing tracks, along with I Think I'm In Love.

Drugs are bad mmmkay Fave: Strength Of Strings

Fun, quirky, tubular dude.

Such a wonderfully strange journey. Not sure I'm in the right headspace for this album today so maybe it would rank higher on another day.

I can imagine getitng really into this when I was younger. It certainly ticks a lot of boxes for me and kind of feels like a commercial version of my ideal band. Keeping an open mind, I can't say I hate it, Drive and Pardon Me are good songs.

Riders on the Storm is just such a great tune. The Changeline certainly kicks off in an unexpeted, for me, way. Love Her Madly is cetainly one of their more popular songs as well. Overall though it doesn't really grab me, just a nice listen.

Nice, fun to bop along to reggae. Fave: Them Belly Full

Ah it's cute. I hope they had fun making it. I Can See For Miles is the only decent song.

Just a little bit too much Glam after hearing Electric Warrior less than 2 weeks ago. Metal Guru is a standout and lots of highlights along the way but just too much Glam in one sitting.

I could basically copy/paste my review from the other album. It's my jam, I like it, deserves a few more spins. Faves: Wrong, Single, Walking Wounded

Such a great album, so many influences on bands that I love and I do enjoy socio political rap. Fave: Black Steel

Hmm, 5 Bowie albums and this is my first as I continue my journey backwards currently at 199. 5 in the first 200 albums. I do enjoy Bowie and Young Americans and Fame are great tracks. But this album doesn't fully grab me.

It seems every time I've listened to this album I've listened to the whole thing which matches with how I'm feeling abou these 2 listens. It's a great album, I probably need to spend more time with it. Girlfriend in a Coma is certainly a standout

Another easy 5, long time fan. Such an incredible album, like a self written eulogy. Absolutely amazing. You Want it Darker is superd, Travelling Light, and Treaty are also sublime.

Hmm, not sure what's so special about this. It's ok but didn't really grab me. Fave is probably Winter In. Looks like I've got another Gene Clark on my todo list as well.

An easy 5, been a long time fan, just love the atmosphere.

I like the vibes and the flows.

Nice one Dolly. Not for me but did enjoy Coat of Many Colors and Traveling Man

An easy 5, what a debut. Fave: Where Is My Mind?

Wow a totally unexpected sound from the Bee Gees. I'm trying to imagine if this was their only album what a epic little cult album it would be. I found in interesting and probably more interesting that their usual fare. I see that there is another album on this list so I guess I'll find out more then but for now there's some great stuff but also some cringe I guess so 3 stars it is. Fave: Never Say Never Again

I guess I didn't really understand what Glam rock was but this is the definition. Faves: Get It On, Cosmic Dancer, Jeepster

What a great album, doesn't feel out of place. Lots of highlights on this album, hard to go past It's Like That, and Wake Up. I also like bopping along to Jays Game.

My favourite track is Bad Company, from the album Bad Company, by the band Bad Company.

I listened to this a week ago and forgot to write a review. All I remember is that I was keen to explore further.

I certainly started to warm to this more on the second listen but not quite enough for a 4. The Seed (2.0) is certainly a standout with Pussy Galore, Complexity, Something In The Way Of Things (In Town), and Thirsty! being other highlights.

Lots of 4s and 5s for the Dylan album on this list and this is a solid 4, could possibly creep to 5 with a few more listens but either way it's on the list to revisit. Fave: Not Dark Yet, Highlands

An old favourite. fave: The Righteous & the Wicked

It is pretty incredible for a debut. Hard to imagine a world where no one had heard these sounds before. Such a great atmosphere, timeless, an easy 5 stars. Faves: The End, Alabama Song

Another nice discovery. I haven't spent a lot of time with Patti but I do enjoy what I've listened to so it was nice to sit down with a whole album and would certainly like to spend more time with it. Faves: Gloria

Such a beautiful sound, classic and timeless. Faves. It's hard to go past Hidden Place and Pagan Poetry, and it's a great album overall.

I quite enjoyed this, another great discovery from the list. I'm keen to keep this one on the playlist. Faves: Sleeping Gas, Kilimanjaro, Treason (and Traison from the bonus tracks)

This is so lovely but far too short. Faves: Pink Moon, Parasite

Zooropa is my most listened to as it's the one in my wife's CD collection. I had a friend who was a big U2 fan so I never really felt a need to dig too deep. All that to say this was ok, sounds like U2, some good moments, some meh moments. Fave: The Fly

Ahh Dylan you've captured my heart again. What a delightful album certainly worth revisiting. I've got one more Dylan left on this list! Fave: I Shall Be Free

A big fan of Pretty Hate Machine and a fan of NIN but never spent much time with this particular album so looking forward to getting to know it a bit more. Still, A Warm Place is one of my favourites

I do enjoy me sociopolitical songs and this is a great debut. So much to unpack here. Faves: Tyler, Reefer Madness

This album is kind of a 3 for me but Lust For Life and The Passenger are great songs so they kind of bump it up to a 3.5 -- so it really comes down to home keen I am to listen to this again. How much Iggy do I need in my life?

I gave the other album a 4 but I'm leaning towards 5 for this one so let's do that. Enjoyable from start to finish, wonderfully atmospheric.'' Faves: Spellbound, Arabian Nights

Quite an enjoyable listen. Certainly one to explore further. A bit of a sad story but these are the times we live in. No particular fave but it does finish strong so let's say Shortcomings.

I don't really understand the significance of this inclusion but it was a fun listen. The movie plot sounds interesting as well. Fave: One Two Cha Cha Cha

I can't say this one grabbed me as much as the other Stones albums on this list. Probably one for the die hard fans or those who’ve seen them live a few times. Faves? I dunno it just kind of feels like one long song.

Yeah nah, no thanks. Intro is a great start but it quickly degenerates and then just gets worse. The only highlight along the way was Juicy.

An easy 5, and old favourite. Big fan of FNM and Mike.

Lots of fun on this one. Something I'll come back to for sure. Faves: A Fan's Mail, Tokyo, Jameel's Space Ride

A little too spiritual for me. Certainly the second listen helped and I didn't mind Empty Sky, Worlds Apart, and The Fuse. I suppose Mary's Place also but still not something I'm i in a rush to listen again.

I discovered this band after first hearing and digging into Kurt Vile. And it's one of those bands that keeps getting recommended to my by the various streaming services. All that to say Under the Pressure is one of my favourite songs and this album as a whole is a great listen. An Ocean In Between The Waves was another highlight. Keen to keep on the playlist.

An easy 5. Such a great album with every track a winner. Stairway to Heaven isn't even the standout track with The Battle for Everymore and Misty Mountain Hop at the top of my list.

Artic Monkeys are one of those bands that's peppered through my listening history so it was nice to sit down and listen through this album. I found it very enjoyable and keen to hear again. Love the accent and the stories. Fave: Fake Tales Of San Francisco

Short, fast, to the point, and done. I thought track 2 was I just want to skate. Kick, push, coast.

A nice moody album with a flourishing finish. The Dolphins is a great opener, There's The Bag I'm In is relatable, Everybody's Talkin', well huh, who know it was about sailing, or is it another euphemism for cocaine?

Like listening to an old time radio.

Breezy and cool. Faves: That Lady, Summer Breeze.

I quite enjoyed this sociopolitical album. I haven't listened to much Janet and was pleasantly surprised. Found myself humming Rythym Nation, got pulled into the softness of Miss You Much, love the excitement of Escapade, and totally got into the Black Cat. I'll probably wonder why I put this on my 5 star list but heck let's do it.

Oooh I quite like this one. Certainly one worth further exploration. Traveller is such a great opener and the whole album just flows nicely until that weird moment in Vikram The Vampire.

This album starts off so stron and finishes brilliantly but there's some parts in the middle that don't hold their weight. After the first 3 tracks it's like a best of album but then it all just fades into the background until Within You Without You. A Day In The Life is such a great tune.

I was reading my colleagues review and they mentioned. "If I'd had to listen to this in July I can imagine it losing a star..." Well it's April for me and here I am listening to a Christmas Album from 1963. I must say as far as Christmas Albums goes this is pretty good so it's not going in the trashfire. But it's certainly not an album that's going on my listen to again list. No particular favourites, all well known tunes.

Oh wow, this my first of 3 Pixies' albums from this list. On first listen I wasn't too sure but after the second listen I was left wanting more. Not quite a 5 but something worth further exploration. Faves: Velouria, Dig for Fire

Not bad, I do like me a, in this case, Brazillian twist. This one didn't grab me as much as Arise but I believe it's on the list because it's the last Max album. Anyway, fave, Canyon Jam

I misread the title as The Gilead Place of Sin. Maybe that flavoured my context as some of it sounded a bit preachy. Do Right Woman rang some bells, Dark End Of The Street was enjoyable but the rest just didn't do much for me.

I really like the way this album kicks off with You Are The Sunshing Of My Life, it just really sets the scene. The album plods along a little but but You've Got It Bad Girl has a nice feel and then Superstition kicks in followed by the very cool Big Brother and the last track just leaves me feeling hope.

This does feel a bit more like what i think of when I think of AC/DC. Hells Bells is a great opener and the energy continues until it ramps up for Back In Black and You Shook Me All Night Long. Have a Drink on Me feels a bit on the nose since old mate died of Alcohol Poisoning but hey we're a drinking culture. Anyway, that's enough AC/DC for me for a while.

This starts off sounding a lot like a Christmas album and ends up as a lullaby. It does pick up in the middle around The Ocean and Born Under A Bad Sign. Eerily enough Spotify added Tonight the Streets Are Ours to my Discover Weekly playlist last week. Certianly an album that probably grows on you.

This album doesn't grab me as much as Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches did but I can hear the start of the sound that I associate with Happy Mondays. Fave: Wrote for Luck

I really thought I'd already listened to an AC/DC album on this list but no, it's on my backlog after Happy Mondays, Richard Hawley, and whatever's new next week. Anyway, as far as this album goes. Highway to Hell is a cracker of a song but the rest of the album is pretty mediocre. Being Australian I do have a soft spot for them but it's still not quite a 4 for me.

Awesome opening track, cool tunes, very funky.

Meh. It's pleasant enough and I guess it's rockier than the other one on this list. But overall not for me. Fave: Maggie May

This album is just full of little gems. Such a beautifully meloncholic album that I'm going to have to put more time into. Faves: so many, but let's go with Vampire Blues, Revolution Blues, and Ambulance Blues

Songs that feel like a warm blanket. Fave: Pleasant Street

There's no denying that Lauryn's pretty magical but this isn't something I'm adding a future playlist. The album has a nice flow and the classroom bits add to the atmosphere. Fave: To Zion

This album is so much fun, full of joy a frivolity. I'm keen to explore more. Faves: Clandestino, Bongo bong, Welcome to Tijuana

Straight down the middle four on the floor rock and roll. Fave: Sister Luck

Is this meant to be an example of the struggling sophomore release? Anyway, I don't know. Sister Ray is pretty good.

I don't mind ol' Franz and this album's pretty ok. Not quite a 5 but a fairly solid 4. Faves: Take Me Out, This Fire, Michael

Wow, I quite enjoyed this album. I remember being a fan before I developed my own music taste and never revisited Billy since then so it was nice to reminisce a bit but also these are great songs. Faves: Movin' Out, Vienna

A soon as I saw Desert Blues my ears perked up. As soon as the opening notes of Soubour kicked in I knew I was in for a treat. What a delightful album. Faves: Soubour, Igranda, Jolie

Bollocks sir, kiss my ass. I did have a negative reaction when I realised I had to listen to a Robbit Williams album.... twice... but I was pleasantly suprised on the first listen and not completely turned off. But still, it's just not for me. Let Me Entertain You is certainly a bop, but Lazy Days is my fave.

Delightfully enjoyable fluglehorn jazz. Easy to listen to all the way through with Maseru being my highlight.

Smooth music from an artists who seems to know what they are doing. If You Think You're Lonely Now certiainly has a hook.

Absolutely incredible album. Just perfect.

Yeah, rocking eletronic power pop. Great album, faves Time to Pretend, The Youth, Kids.

It's funny how polarising Morrissey is when looking at the reviews. It's been almost 8 months since I listened to You Are The Quarry and I'm not sure where this fits into the zeitgeist. Anyway, it feels a bit middle of the road, has a few highlights and is a bit slow at times. But I also feel it's worth a little more explorations so keeping it a 4. Fave: Now My Heart Is Full

This is Aerosmith at their best? Fave: Maybe Last Child

This is another one of those late night backyard bbq party vibe albums. It's nice to listen to the whole album in context, Bloody Well Right is still the standout track though.

So it's live, it's a bootleg, and it's Dylan. I'm not sure what all the fuss is with the two sides but sounds ok to me. Faves: Desolation Row, Like a Rolling Stone

Very cruisy very smooth very relaxing. If you're rating is based on the number of tracks you like then this is a fiver but for me it's how much I want to listen to it again or if I want to explore it further. As much as I liked this it's not being added to a playlist.

A great fun album that has all the things I like about punk. Bonus connection to The Saints as well! Faves: Love Song with it's jarring ending, I Just Can't Be Happy Today, Noise, Noise, Noise, Smash It Up, Pt 1 & 2

Ah yes, a transition album, here's what she was, here's what she became. I read that Boulder to Birmingham is the only track she wrote on this album and on each listen I realised it had gone past without me noticing so I went back and listened to it again, it's a nice enough vibe. Faves? Bluebird Wine, California Cotton Fields.

Smooth to the last groove. Just such a dreamy album that seems perfect for this overcast day. Also an album I've put a fair bit of time into in the past as well so an easy 5 for me. Faves: Paper Tiger, Sunday Sun, Lost Cause

Well I'm glad that's over. This will be the fifth time that I've mentioned Natual Born Killers, maybe that soundtrack should have been on this list, but either way The Day The Niggaz Took Over has long been a favourite of mine but the rest of this album is not for me. Snoop Dogg is certainly a star on this album.

Automatic 5 for me, this is my most listened to Radiohead album and it's just perfect.

Such a nice downtempo electro groove. Faves: Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Spring

Susan's House is such a standout for me, just a perfectly delivered narrative. Novocaine For The Soul is great and it was nice to dig in to the rest of the album.

A solid 4 for me. Certainly an artist that seems to keep popping up here an there and I still find intriguing. Faves from this: Once Around the Block, Bewilderbeast, Pissing in the Wind, Disillusion

I usually take a peek at the wikipedia precis when I start listening, especially for artists I don't know. So for Leonard I just hit play and was much pleased, so I thought I better look at wikipedia to get some context and was surprised to find that this is his debut. It's such a well rounded beautiful heartfelt pure Leonard Cohen album. Faves? It's all good, so captivating.

Great fun french electro pop. Faves: D.A.N.C.E, Phantom Pt. II, The Party

This is so good and perfect example of why this list exists, such a dichotomy but still works. Faves: Isi, Seeland, Hero, E-Musik

So far II and Physicaly Graffiti have gotten a 4 from me and I still have II and III to catch up on. Fave: Dazed and Confused

I probably need more time with Beyonce to get what she's really about but there's not doubt she's talented. Fave: ***Flawless

Long time fan of Talking Heads but never listened to this album. Take Me to the River is a standout track with some other highlights being Stay Hungry, and The Big Country.

This is pretty great but will need a bit more brain power to fully comprehend. Faves: Natural's Not In It, Not Grat Men, Damaged Goods.

It's like listening to a greatest hits album! What a cracker. Faves: Second Hand News, Dreams, and The Chain still gives me shivers.

Eighteenth album and he nearly threw in the towel? Well, I'm certainly glad he didn't. This is a side of Stevie I wasn't familiar with and certainly keen to keep on the playlist. Faves: As, Saturn, All Day Sucker

There is something enticing about this ecletic mix. Faves: (Drawing) Rings Around the World, Receptable for the Respectable, Juxtapozed with U, and Run! Christian, Run!

So beautiful. The first listen the first 7 tracks just kind of sat in the background just nice and chill and then River came on and changed everything. Beautiful songs, beautifully delivered. Faves: River, A Case of You, This Flight Tonight

Certainly and interesting artist. Tiny Dancer is well known and pretty good. Levon was interesting, along with Madman Across The Water, and Rotten Peaches. But it's not something I'll be rushing to hear again.

Smooth, interesting, and curious. Certainly worth digging into further. Fave: Garden (Say It Like Dat)

A big fan of Royksopp, great debut. Boppy electronica. Faves: Sparks, Poor Leno

Epic rock opera with an epic song. Fave: Pinball Wizard

I see the next on my catchup list is another The Who release. Pretty strong debut but it's not for me. Fave: The Ox

Upbeat lounge music? Very cool afro jazz vibes and what on earth is Cubop.

I guess I can now call myself a Metallica fan. I'm enjoying what I've listened to in this list and keen to discover more. Certainly it's hard to see what impact the Orchestra is having on the songs overall. I mean The Ecstasy Of Gold certainly sets the scene but I'm not familiar enough with the rest of the songs to know what's what. Fave from this release: Of Walk And Man for the wolf call out, For Whom The Bell Tolls for the sing-a-long, and Wherever I May Roam.

Very cool afrobeat with funk and politics. Fave Zombie, Mr Follow Follow

This is so cool and brings me so much joy. Metronomic Underground is such a great opener and the follow two tracks just keep up the vive. Les Yper Sound is also great and Spark Plug just booms. Too many songs to mention, the title track is also awesome.

I try not to let my friends reviews influence mine but this was a 5 already and I totally agree with the faves. --- Fave track - "M.E." maybe - source of that badass sample the Basement Jaxx used for "Where's Your Head At?". "Cars" is obviously an absolute tune. "Metal" was a stand out. The bonus track "Bombers" was excellent too...

Awesome voice, she really knows how to make these songs her own. Respect is a classic, I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You) was also a standout for me.

A big fan of Beth Orton and as soon as Stolen Car started playing it was like a big warm welcome home. I was a bit dissapointed to learn that Central Reservation was about drugs but hey, all music (art) is open to interpretation. Faves: it's all good but special call out for Stolen Car and Central Reservation.

It's like listening to the greatest hits on a jukebox that doesn't have the license so the songs are just instrumental versions. Such a cool vibe, very enjoyable grooves. Green Onions and Mo' Onions were the standouts for me.

It's such a strangely straight down the middle of the road rock album. Fave: Open Letter (To a Landlord)

Unfortunately I wasn't able to give both playthroughs a really good listen but I enjoyed what I heard and quite liked Golden Age and DLZ. But I'm keen to hear it again so that makes it a 5.

I've always enjoyed PSB but never really got into them I had a friend who was a big fan and that was enough for me. One More Chance is such a delightful opener it really capture my attention. Rent is such a great song. Overall quite enjoyable.

Space Truckin' is one of my favourite songs and Smoke On the Water is so iconic but I didn't know the story so that was pretty cool to learn. Highway Star is a great opener.

Very cool and relaxing. Alice In Wonderland does certainly capture your attention for a moment.

Very cool, jazzy, bluesy, spoken word, history lesson. Fave: H20gate Blues

Ok, I think that's the last of the Beastie Boys for me on this list and that's 3 for 3 (boom, tish!). Faves: Fight For Your Right, No Sleep Till Brooklyn

I'm having a pretty good run on this list lately. Love PJ Harvey. I love that she gave this album her all thinking it would be her only chance and yet here we are 10 albums later and still going strong. Faves: Dress, Sheela-na-gig

I just listened to Tangerine Dream before this, I'm in complete heaven. I was sad when I realised this album was about to finish. So brilliant. Faves: Part 2, Part 5, Part 6 -- the whole album is great.

Some pretty neat harmonica here. But overall, this ain't for me. Faves: Damn Sam (I Love a Woman That Rains), Come Pick Me Up

Good fun live afrobeat. I do love a drum solo. Black Man's Cry is a great track also, and the sing along in Egbe Mu O (Carry Me)

I don't know anything about Amy Winehouse and I must say this is a pretty impressive debut. Faves: You Sent Me Flying / Cherry, Fuck Me Pumps, In My Bed

It's like a well matured album I guess. A rewarding listen. I've mentioned my parents on all Rolling Stones reviews so far so here's another mention. Fave: hard to pick one but I did particularly enjoy You Can't Always Get What You Want.

Ok, number 2 of 5 for me and as much as I like the song Born To Run the rest of the album doesn't quite reach that crescendo. Other fave: Meeting Across the River

Middle of the road UK garage? I didn't mind this so much and particularly enjoyed Sincere and Crazy Love. Slum King as well. This is firmly a 3.5 for me.

Poppy grungy post punk. Weirdly doesn't sound that dated. Everyting old is new again. Faves: Connection, 2:1

Oh yeah, what a great album. I do enjoy artists that take different approaches and the variety of sounds on this album is just a joy. Faves: Know, Sugar

Looks like another 3 Beatles albums after this one. I can't quite justify 5 stars for this one, it's enjoyable but not in a way that I must listen to it immediately again. Faves: Come Together, I Want You, Sun King

When I think of this band I remember a review from way back when that kind of influenced my opinion that simply said "Stop Whinging Billy". Anyway, it was nice to pay some attention and what a wonderful album. I've only ever really listened to Siamese Dream but of course knew some of the big hits from here. I do like 1979, and Zero, but there are so many songs like Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans that are also great. Thanks 1001 for changing my views.

This is more of the Tom Waits I know and love. Looks like there's one more album. So far it's 2x5s and 2x3s Fave: too hard to choose.

Since I'm going through the albums I've missed backwards I haven't listened to License To Ill yet and Hello Nasty is the album I'm most familiar with. I didn't mind this album, the boys have a certain charm. But it's not really something that'll get regular play. Fave: Shake Your Rump

Damn, this is pretty cool, doesn't quite make a 5 for me but certainly won't mind it on a future rotation. Walk On By is just great.

This is a pretty cool and funky album. Faves: Stand! Everyday People, You Can Make It If You Try

I quite enjoyed Ms Jackson when that came out and I was aware of Hey Ya! and Roses from this release. I really thought I might dig it but man it's a hard slog getting through these songs, especailly The Love Below. Faves: GhettoMusick, She's Alive, My Favorite Things

Eh, it's ok. I guess it's on here because Garfunkel was deleted. Fave: The Late Great Johnny Ace

I found this quite enjoyable and just a nice relaxing curiousity. Faves: Flying High, Super Bird

A good fun rollicking album. Certainly one worth further exploration. Fave: South Australia

It's a kind of refreshing version. Faves: Don't Stop.., Off the Wall

I've always thought of myself as a bit of Lou Reed fan but this is the only album I've listened to in full so it looks like I have a nice journey of discovery ahead of me. Faves: The Kids, Sad Song

Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding is an incredible album opener. Candle In The Wind is what it is, Bennie And The Jets is good fun, along with Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting), and I do enjoy Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. But there's some other songs on here that I just can't get onboard with so not a 5, but also not really high on my list of next in the queue, so 3 it is.

My 17 year old is into New Order and has recently breathed new life into this band for me. Elegia has long been a favourite song of mine but I have not listened to this album for a long time. So it was a pleasure rediscovering it. Faves: Love Vigilantes - is he a ghost? The Perfect Kiss - slightly creepy, Elegia, just beautiful.

Eh, it's ok. I listened to this over a few days so it's a bit hard to be totally objective about all the tracks but there's certainly some bop along bits and some awful bits. Spaceship and Jeses Walks are the standouts for me.

Sounds like a good fun time. Sam holds the room nicely. Fave: Cupid, and Nothing Can Change This Love

Always such a delight listening to Bowie. This album has some of the more well known songs so it was great to hear them in context. Faves: Changes, Oh! You Pretty Tings, Life On Mars?, Kooks.

I like Fiona Apple :shrug:

It's certainly an album that grows on you. Certainly a nice laid back feel to the whole album. Faves: Sara, Walk a Thin Line, Tusk

I appreciate what Eminem is doing, it's just not for me. Fave: The Real Slim Shady, The Kids

It's like a movie soundtrack. Certiainly atmospheric. Fave: If...

10th album huh. Peak Sinatra? who knows. Fave: Making Whoopee

Everything I love about Underworld in one tight package. Too hard to choose a fave, they're all good.

Great reggage with a history lesson. Faves: Old Marcus Garvey, Jordan River, Resting Place

I do like me some Daft Punk but this album feels a bit mediocre these days. Certainly a few interesting bits here and there and I certainly am into Da Funk and Around the World but everything else just feels a bit samish.

This whole album feels like a fever dream. The whole album just blends into one long extended play. Fave: Heroes and Villains

I love this so much, it's so out there and you can see why Bjork had to go her own way. Just so much fun. Faves: Birthday, Deus, Take Some Petrol Darling

Hard to pick a fave out of 4 tracks, the whole album is great.

What a great album, timeless, and still rocks hard. Planet Caravan is great, just wish it was 3 minutes longer.

what a great fun album. I've always been intrigued by Janelle Monáe and enjoyed diving into this album. Fave tracks: Cold War, Mushrooms & Roses, Wondaland and Say You'll Go.

I listened to this album so many times when it came out and was lucky enough to see these guys live. Being so familiar with the album I feel like all the tracks are my favourite but I like Satanic Reverses (for the geography history lesson), Television The Drug Of The Nation, Music And Politics, and California Uber Alles.

Not much variety in these songs and a little bit too much country for my taste. Fave track: Little Rock 'N' Roller

I like this one a lot more than the debut. The second listen really grew on me. Fave tracks Psychosocial, Gehenna, Vermillion Pt 2 - Bloodstone Mix, 'Til We Die.

Given the context I guess it's good to see a rising star on the rebound. Nothing really struck me on this album but my fave track would be Mainline Florida.

Pretty incredible for a debut. She surely did take the world by storm. Don't Know Why and Turn Me On are my faves.

This is such great fun. The whole album is a fun trip. No real standout tracks but keen to give this another spin.

First time listening to a whole Jimi album.

Good one Iggy

I was kind of expecting to like this but it didn't do much for me on the first listen and second go around I still wasn't able to get much into it. Maybe this album needs a time and a place. Fave: Metal Baby

This album starts off ok. Bawitdaba with it's nonsense sounds and rockin' tune. Cowboy with hilarious nonsense about a boy from Detroit. The album then just completely devolves into "I am the best" until the laughable Only God Know Why where he wants use to feel sorry for little Bobby. Then finally he just tells everyone where to go. This album is a hot mess and I'll be glad to not hear it again.

Haha this is great. At times joyful, at times heartbreaking. Faves: Gotta Get Up, Coconut

Bit of a snooze fest, wasn't really in the mood for this.

What a great album, so much fun. I love how it opens up and the way Bohemian Rhapsody fits in perfectly with the rest of the album. Faves: You're My Best Friend, Bohemian Rhapsody

Maybe there's some familarity here but after recently listening to a Morrissey album this certainly feels more comfortable. Fave: Meat Is Murder

I consider myself a bit of PJ Harvey fan, but I haven't spent a lot of time with this album and found it very curious. It certainly deserves more time and I'm sure I'll get more into it with each listen. Faves from today: The Glorious Land, On Battleship Hill, Written On The Forehead

What a delightfully smooth listen. I didn't really know what to expect but I enjoyed the ride. Cranes in the Sky is great, I love the way Don't Touch My Hair flows into Where Do We Go via the Interlude. The album overall has a good flow.

Another interesting story but there's something about the way Johnny tells a story in each song. Certainly Folsom Prison Blues hits hard at the start and the whole record kept me engaged. 25 Minutes to Go is my favourite today.

I guess if I need some blues in my life then this is a good one to have in my collection. No doubt that B.B. King is good at what he does but nothing really grabbed me on this album except for How Blue Can You Get?

Ahh back when CDs were still a thing this was such an exciting release and we played it to death. My kid got into Gorillaz a few years ago and this got a lot of airplay on car trips (the car being the only cd player we had!). It's hard to pick a favourite song for me, all of the songs are like your favourite pieces of clothing, well worn and very comfortable.

I remember when reading reviews of other Beatles albums on this list a lot of people mentioned Rubber Soul but apart from Drive My Car, Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown), and Nowhere Man I don't really get it.

Another intesting story around the album but the opening track didn't really grab me. Nor did much else on the record except for Mixed Up Mess Of A Heart.

It's like a tasting platter.. some were very tasty and I'll be back for more. Faves: A Salty Salute, As We Go Up, We Go Down

It's a bit like listening to one of the best easy listening stations. Very smooth.

My Dad is a big Santana fan so I have a bit of nostalgia points for this. I certainly enjoyed Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen and Oye Como Va.

wow, what fun, got a bit weird around born to run but such a nostalgic sound

Ahh memories. This is the album that got me into Grizzly Bear back in 2013.

Oh hey it's Metallica

OK, yeah a bit of fun and a few memories.

OK wow, pretty wild and fun.

Yeah, right, well Ok.

This is totally my jam

Smooth

Feel like I've heard these songs in some shape or form over the years. Really love Sunworshipper which I first heard on a Ministry of Sound Chillout Sessions album in 2007.

Good fun listen, man this dude is prolific!

The birth of psych folk? I'm here for it. Fave: A Very Cellular Song, and maybe Mercy I Cry City

I've always had a liking for Primary Scream but never really dug in. This album is great with Movin' on Up being such a classic. Come Together and Loaded are great tracks too.

Ah yes, music for the Jilted Generation indeed.

I remember listening to my Dad's Deep Purple records (yep, vinyl) when I was a young un. Still enjoy these grooves.

Wow, I really enjoyed that. Wasn't sure at the start, but the short punchy songs really got me going. All topped off with a cruisy come down at the end.

Still such a great album to this day. Great work Hole.

Timeless classic and very enjoyable.

I feel like live albums are better if you are either intimately familiar with the band or have been to an awesome concert. Not sure they're talking about my generation but still a good fun listen.

Long time listent of Bauhaus, very enjoyable.

Really enjoyed this, way ahead of it's time.

Eh, I don't know. I guess it's a product of it's time. American Pie and Vincent are standouts for sure but the rest doesn't really grab me.

Such bongo! Such fun. Apache is the show stealer and the rest starts to get a bit too much with In A Gadda Da Vida being another highlight.

It's not terrible, just not for me. I did look into the meaning of ...Baby One More Time and it seems to a non-native English speaker "hit me" means "call me". I mean hit me up some time Britney we can have a chat. Fave song, Autumn Goodbye, mostly because it's the last song.

After the first listen I was so sure but on the second playthrough I started to warm up so maybe it just needs a few more listens. For now though faves are Midnight and Body Count.

Such a beautiful album. This could easily be a 4.5 and I think with a few more listens it could nudge it's way into a 5. Fave track: Ghosteen Speaks.

Oh this is so great what a fun vibe. The opening track is great and probably In This House That I Call Home are the highlights but the whole album has such great energy.

I had a friend who was a bit U2 fan from the early days so I've always been aware of them as they have grown into the phenomenon they are now. This is a great album and those opening tracks are jusst incredible. Excluding those my other faves would be Bullet The Blue Sky and Mothers Of The Disappeared.

Jazzy

Wow, that was a really fun listen. I should probably spend some more time with ol' Bob.
