Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

Really, really tried to like this but I just can’t. Feel like Bowie remains one of those people who are universally regarded as amazing but just totally lost on me.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Listenable rock

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

3/5

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

3/5

Couldn’t work it out. Some magical moments mixed with turgid waffle. Glad I’ve heard it but wouldn’t go back in a hurry.

Shaft

Isaac Hayes

4/5

1999

Prince

4/5

Lovely to listen back to. Properly classic

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

Some classic tracks but one of those albums I always wonder when I’d actually choose to put it on.

A Northern Soul

The Verve

1/5

Turgid dross. No idea how this ever got released tbh

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Much more enjoyable than the earlier one for me. Sometimes mainstream just ticks the boxes 👍

Goo

Sonic Youth

2/5

Never got them and never will. Hugely overrated in my opinion.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

2/5

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Great album - I’d forgotten just how good a songwriter he is. Really enjoyed revisiting this.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

4/5

Can’t work it out. I kinda really admire it and it’s properly uplifting but I just can’t ever imagine choosing to listen to it again. It’s the exact reason why I thought Id do this though as have never come across it previously!

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

I can think of 1001 albums that should be on this list instead of this one. Saved from one star due to memories of belting out Angels in karaoke 20 years ago.

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

1/5

Not on Apple Music 🤷‍♂️

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

Some fabulous tracks here. Hard to believe that he crammed so many into one album. Amazingly even the non ‘hits’ are good. Baby be mine is a highlight. Seriously good stuff.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

So many tracks I’ve enjoyed off this before but had never heard the whole album. Still stands up as a great summer album

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

3/5

It’s an album I’ve tried to love for a long time. It’s got some great memories in places, but for the most part it still just sounds like a hell of a racket to me. I want to like it more than I actually do

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

3/5

Easy listening but starting to feel pretty dated

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

A very rare genuine 5star album. Barely puts a foot wrong at any stage. Absolutely cracking stuff - I just can’t work out whether if forced to choose one of his id have this or Tunnel of love

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

4/5

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Fabulous album. Still stands up to scrutiny now and a joy to listen to. What a voice

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

4/5

Really enjoyed this. Hard not to imagine you’re somewhere sunny and having a great time when this plays. Not sure id sit and actively listen to it but as music to have in the background - winner

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

1/5

Still convinced this is some sort of joke that only I don’t get. So many better storytellers, so many better songwriters, so many better singers. I don’t even understand why the band stuck around to make it.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

1/5

Please stop making me listen to this awful drivel

Phrenology

The Roots

4/5

Mostly Masterful. Interspersed with some daft filler

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

2/5

Arise

Sepultura

1/5

Nope. Absolute racket

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

2/5

Started off ok but just trudged along. Not my bag

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

2/5

Some nice tracks but all just felt a bit lacklustre to me.

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

Just don’t get Bowie. Have tried and tried to listen to him but it’s just not as good as everyone thinks it is IMO. Some alright tracks but uninspiring stuff tbh.

Pump

Aerosmith

2/5

It’s just shit isn’t it. Just bill and Ted in real life.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

I get it, I don’t mind it, I can appreciate that it was pretty groundbreaking. There are a whole lot of hip hop albums that I’d listen to first though

For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

2/5

Never really got new wave stuff and this just does nothing for me.
