OK Computer

Radiohead

3/5

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

5/5

Such a good album. I love the kinks. Memories of my dad's old Volvo!

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

Some classic tunes and obviously a massive inspiration to a lot of bands. Having said that, not really my cup of tea. Starts strong and then just gets a bit much for me.

Kid A

Radiohead

1/5

First song. Painful. Like having a stone stuck in your tyre. Or like a kid asking you why over and over again. Second song. Good beat but the voice, wtf. I now know where fat white family got their inspiration. Tracks seem to have promise but don't go anywhere. Just whine on and on. How to disappear completely couldn't start any worse. DO NOT LISTEN IF ON THE EDGE. Fair enough write about your problems but don't put it on everyone else, it's selfish. Drones on about not being here, I wish he wasn't here to be honest and this is a low point for me in the album. Will try and finish it.... Didn't get any better and I never want to listen to Radiohead ever again

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Fantastic album. First time listener and one of my fave Beatles albums. None of the massive hits but you can hear where the indie rock bands got their inspo. Brilliant

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

First time listener. Short which is a plus in my book. Strong start, I enjoyed up until 'I don't wanna be a soldier mama'. Down hill from there. Oh Yoko was upbeat but awful chorus. I was expecting better. Disappointed. 2.5/5

1999

Prince

3/5

I can see why it was so massive at the time. Easy listen.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

I've always just liked what I've liked without really realising why but I'm learning along this journey. This band sounds like a mix between the Beatles era and heavy rock like guns n roses or Metallica. Never heard yes before but I really liked it.

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

4/5

Once again a band I've not heard before. Great album though.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast

Badly Drawn Boy

1/5

An hour long.... Bad start with first track 2 interludes in first 3 tracks.... And then fall in a river... I'm wondering if they forgot to edit this album before releasing I don't like this at all. Like a lot of 00s artists, Too vanilla for me and could easily have called it the 37mins of bewilderbeast Pretentious in my opinion with all the boring instrumental stuff and interludes. Just my opinion. Overall boring

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

3/5

Chilled out drum n bass vibes. I'm into heavier stuff in general but could definitely chill to this in the sun with a few wines

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

1/5

First impressions.... I don't particularly like the guys voice and it al seems a bit soft and boring and dreary. Transylvania blues is enjoyable and let's not say we did was more upbeat. And then back to the drearfest with Tennessee... Overall I didn't like it

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

Fantastic album. I particularly liked the middle 3 of princess of the street, hanging around and peaches. Will definitely listen again.

1977

Ash

3/5

Good album this. I love my indie and this was more grungy than a lot of the britpop around at that time. It's got that Owen Wilson loudness to it which at times is a bit ott. More rock than britpop 3.5/5

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

3/5

This album really surprised me. Never hear dog him before or any of the tunes. Really great start especially on a Sunday morning. I did find it slowed right down towards the end but overall I'll probably listen again.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Exactly as you'd expect from REM.

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

Excellent album.

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

I often wonder what it must have been like to hear an album that is so unlike what has gone before. I'd love to go back to 1970 and see

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Absolutely mental but I didn't dislike it overall.... I liked that they took the piss out of the Beatles

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

2/5

A nice listen. Good background music

Tapestry

Carole King

3/5

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

2/5

I can appreciate how good this is but it's not my cup of tea. Fave song.. what more can I say

Drunk

Thundercat

2/5

I didn't particularly like this. It would be ok as background music but nothing jumped out at me. Some of it was weird.

Sound Affects

The Jam

5/5

Although I hadn't been born when they were smashing it, the jam are one of my all time favourite bands.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Excellent album. Went a bit off piste in the middle but picked up again Fave song hiding all away

Fever Ray

3/5

Raw Power

The Stooges

3/5

Good album

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

3/5

An album of hits but listening back knowing how it ended, you realise it's all a lie

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

2/5

Not an offensive album by any stretch. I'd give it a 2.5 if I could

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

Starts off well, bit too grungy second half

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

2/5

3/5

Some classic Kanye vibes. Jay z ruined a couple of the track. Fave tune a devil in a new dress
