Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

2/5

I've never been a huge fan of the Kinks, preferring the rockier early 60s albums, and this album, while sardonic, just seems uninteresting

The Mamas & The Papas

The Kinks

3/5

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

A misunderstood classic protest album, I've heard the song Born in the USA so many times I didn't bother re-listening to, but the rest of the tracks are so blood good it wasn't missed, in fact it was a relief.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Ashamed to say I haven't listened to this since it came out. Nice grungy R&R a la Neil Young

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

3/5

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

3/5

There’s som flaming lips I like and some I don’t. Simple as that.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

Occasionally I come across a Radiohead song I like, but not frequently. This is one of those bands that I feel are supposed to like, but...

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

Sam Cooke , great voice, so smooth, but the album seemed a bit repetitive

The Blueprint

JAY Z

4/5

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

American Idiot

Green Day

1/5

Not a fan of Green Day, still not. The pre-genitors of whiney boy rock wanna-be punk rock bands.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

3/5

It's OK, I was never a fan of these bands, though upon listening to the album, I did enjoy the tongue and cheekiness...

Pornography

The Cure

5/5

Probably my fave cure album, the last gasp af angst before the pop takeover

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

4/5

a classic,

Either Or

Elliott Smith

5/5

a classic. Haven’t listened to this in a few years, god knows why..

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

4/5

Brings me back. Simple, raw, confessionary, in your face. Influential.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

4/5

A classic, influential and Annie Lennox has an unbelievable voice

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

How did I never hear this guy? Liked the acid jazzy stuff, harder time with the others

Caetano Veloso

4/5

A smorgasbord of styles and sounds. Wonderful

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

Good god, what a great album. So many samples I didn't know. Another "how did this slip between the cracks" album.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

5/5

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Groundbreaking...

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

4/5

Wilco + Billy Bragg? What's not to like?

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Wow, lyrics are light years ahead of the actual music, with a couple of exceptions. Somehow, I've heard all the songs but never actually listened to the whole album. When you compare this album to the competitors released the same year, it just sounds unimaginative, but the lyrics, good god.

Adele

1/5

Milquetoast, good voice, uninspiring music

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

3/5

I like Johnny cash, but his earlier albums, while good musical theater, are not terribly musically inspiring. Won’t stop me from listening to him…

The Slider

T. Rex

4/5

Why don’t I listen to T Rex more often?

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

4/5

Great, not an everyday listen, but great

Protection

Massive Attack

4/5

Not my favorite MA album but a peach nonetheless..

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

I remember this being a bit of a let down after Rumours, but it's still strong

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Bar none, the best Springsteen album.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

I haven't listened to this in a while, no doubt who influenced this album. It's held up pretty well, though does get a little monotonous at times...

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

5/5

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Not my favorite N album, Bleach is, but after having not listened to this in a while, like 15 years, it's still fresh and innovative. The re-listen improved my opinion of this record

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

A classic….this type of music is not my cup of tea, but what a great albumm.

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

A more poppy less harsh version of TJMC, I prefer the rawer psycho candy

Scott 4
