Black Sabbath
4/5
First Black Sabbath album I've ever listened to... somehow... which I guess is the whole point of this project! Banging album! More accessible than I expected. And always nice to hear a bunch of 20-somethings finding their way in music.
Jorge Ben Jor
3/5
Took me back to our honeymoon in Brazil. Enjoyable but unremarkable.
Elton John
4/5
Plenty of timeless classics and not too much filler on a double album for the ages.
Public Enemy
4/5
It's good. Really very good. Looking back it's amazing what an influence it had, and how sampled it was. Took me on a tour back through Tricky's albums too as I remembered Black Steel was actually a cover on Maxinquaye.
Kendrick Lamar
3/5
Billy Bragg
3/5
First one I've pressed play on again. Fascinating collaboration.

Waylon Jennings

27 minutes. More albums should be 27 minutes. Not my thing. But doesn't make it not good.
Aerosmith
2/5
Not aged well.
Television
4/5
Not as great as I remember. But still such an important and inventive album.
Metallica

Loved this back in the day. And it still stands up. But it is more monotonous than I recall.
Suede
5/5
Listened a week after seeing them live, and 30 years after its release. So colour me biased but yeah - 5 stars. Probably 4.5 as they've done better but still what a debut.

One of the greatest albums of all time. Pure acid house tinged joy. Andy Weatherall + Bobby Gillespie & co was a match made in heaven. Best listened to at 6am with friends after a big night out.
