L.A. Woman

The Doors

2/5

Some good tracks but overall a bit overdone and drawn out. Some tracks very dated.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

Nice, chill jazz with interesting themes. My son turned it off when he was playing because he wanted to listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

S&M

Metallica

3/5

Listened to it twice while working. It works well.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

2/5

Fine. Classic songs. But if you've heard one you've heard them all.

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

3/5

Ethereal pop-rock. Not the best, not the worst.

Country Life

Roxy Music

1/5

Not for me. Nothing really clicked.

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

2/5

Didn't get into it that much.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

Stripped down but also just a great sounding record.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

2/5

Only two songs I'd ever listen to again.

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

3/5

Smooth. Enjoyable. I'd give it a 3.5 if I could.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

All bangers, instantly transported back to early 2000s.

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

3/5

Nice and bright. Varied, maybe a bit too much, but I enjoyed it.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

A decent album. Enjoyable.

Street Signs

Ozomatli

2/5

I'm sure it's fine but I couldn't get the whole album and just listened to a few tracks.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

3/5

It was fine. Nothing spectacular.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

2/5

Came for Layla and didn't stay for the rest.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

4/5

I liked this. I liked the mish-mash and the quick switch into early metal. I liked it.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

5/5

It's experimental and great and I am hesitant to give 5 to something with such an obvious reputation, but I for sure would listen again so why not.

Femi Kuti

2/5

It was fine.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

I hadn't heard most of the non-hit songs but I really enjoyed it all as a whole.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

1/5

I really wanted to like this more, but just wasn't doing it for me.

Medúlla

Björk

2/5

Bjork is cool. This is fine but won't likely come back to it.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

4/5

Considered giving this a 5. I really liked it.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Beautiful Freak

Eels

1/5

Feels like this was on the list because someone really liked the first song.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

3/5

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

I'd rate this higher if I could.

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

I enjoyed this but maybe less than expected.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

5/5

As I said, I rate this on vibe not necessarily on technical quality.

Easiest 5/5 so far.

I've always liked this album.

Opus Dei

Laibach

3/5

Very weird. I liked it but won't listen again.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

1/5

I guess this makes sense as an Arctic Monkeys offshoot.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

This was more up and down than their previous but I still rate it.

1984

Van Halen

3/5

Started out really strong.

1989

2/5

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Perfect

Hadn't listened to this before. Started off thinking I wouldn't give it 5/5 but the last track really brought it all together.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Great stuff.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

3/5

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

4/5

There are some songs I really love, despite the whole album being essentially spoken word poetry overlaid with a late 80s film soundtrack. No album with Jazz Police on it can ever be give 5 stars. A truly horrendous song.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

2/5

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

I'd do 3.5 if I could. But this was good.
