Joan Armatrading

2/5

Funkier than expected.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Stone cold classic that defined a genre.

War

5/5

Joshua Tree is great but this is the moment they became U2.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

1/5

Not really my cuppa.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

Fucking epic boys

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Dead Kennedys

3/5

This is pretty good and I can hear all the punk bands I like that were obviously highly influenced by DKs.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Did the Pumpkins invent nu metal? This is the missing link between Gen X grunge and Millennial alt rock.

The Stone Roses

2/5

This sounds like it could have been released in 2015 so I’d guess you could call it influential. Not really dinging my bell though. Maybe if it was 1991 and I was on mushrooms in a field with a can of Carling in my hand.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

1/5

Janis is clearly an icon and has an incredible voice but this band isn't really my thing. If I were on acid in Haight Ashbury in 1967 I'd probably think it was cool.

Kala

M.I.A.

1/5

I didn’t drink the M.I.A. Kool Aid in 2007 and I ain’t drinking it now.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

3/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

I can see how this would have influenced artists I like such as Radiohead but not really one I listen to again.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

5/5

I think this is AF at their best. I still have my tour tee. This set the bar for indie music in the 2010s.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

2/5

I don't dislike many artists but CS&N just rub me the wrong way. If Neil Young can't make your band better, what does that say about your band?

Music From Big Pink

The Band

2/5

I had coffee with Garth Hudson once. I realise The Band are a Big Deal and also HUGE influences on some of my faves like Counting Crows and Whiskeytown but this record just didn't resonate with me.

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

3/5

Surprisingly listenable, even if she does start with a track thanking God for her life and end with a track talking about how shes still dirrty.... This high-concept pop probably paved the way for Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience.

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

What a debut from one of the GOATs.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

This might be Chuck and Flav at their best. Remember when I fistbumped Flav after the Flo Rida show at the MGM in Vegas? Thanks HLTH 2017. Thanks Validar.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

2/5

I can see why they’re influential to so many.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

This is a forever album!!!!!!!!!
