I honestly tried to like this. It's just so damn boring to me. I listened twice thinking I must be missing something, but still just hmmmmmm. Not for me I guess

Way way better than expected. One I'd never have checked out.

Funny this should be the first album, have been a massive Machine Head fan since their Burn My Eyes debut and am aware they named themselves after this album but have never actually listened to this record. That was a mistake. All I really knew about Deep Purple up to this point was Smoke on the Water. Opener is already sucking me right in. This is my type of album for sure.

Like this one more than I thought I would. I don't think I'd ever find myself reaching for Buddy Holly normally so well done generator.

Had only really heard the title track. I prefer the rock/blues songs to the more ballad type tunes but on balance a pretty solid dad rock LP.

An undiscovered gem. I was expecting some filler with an album so long, but every song earns its place in the tracklist. A masterpiece.

I've been trying to listen to more jazz, this album is a treat. Another one for the regular playlist.

First album generated that I have actually listened to before. I'm not a massive SP fan but this album is rather special, imo. My favourite of theirs by quite some margin. I'd forgotten how noisy this album can get, but listening again after some time I'm appreciating the softer tracks. To Forgive is simply beautiful. Heavier the better usually for me but Pumpkins are a band that can get the ballads right too. Nothing better than a heavy band dropping the heaviness, to my ears at least. I can see how this might become a bit much being 2hrs long but I truly can't get enough of this.

Liked it more than I expected to. More than just another punk album.

Quite liked this one.

A great Beatles album. Such great songs in this. Easy 5 stars

What can I say. It's Bob Marley and it's great.

Easiest 5 stars ever. This album has it all, sadness, sorrow, hope, joy and a whole bunch of gruesome murders. The Bad Seeds at the top of their game here, though to be fair they are on most albums. Ending it all with the Dylan cover 'Death Is Not The End' is a stroke of genius. Long live Nick Cave.

Not really my bag. Songs were ok, but nothing that really grabbed me much

I pretty much grew up with this album, as familiar as my own skin. Love it more with every listen. Nothing Else Matters is a perfect rock ballad. Just a perfect LP.

Sad he only got to finish this one album. Would love to have heard what would come later. Nice listen.

Over 20 years before I was born, still sounds fresh today. Good music will remain good music, regardless of when it was recorded. Ready Teddy a particular favourite.

I like blues, I like guitar solos. This album is just a lil too long though. Version of Little Wing is OK, prefer the original though.

Up til now the only way I knew of Steely Dan was through an old Harry Hill joke. Not a bad album, was nice to listen to on the way home from work. Probably won't listen to it ever again though.

Meh

Punk at it's very finest. Love Biafra. Great album.

Quite liked this one. Worth a few more listens.

I prefer his more eclectic albums, but this stripped back focus on songwriting Beck is not too bad either.

The best bits are the feedback parts. Beautifully noisy. Love this album.

Listening to the Beatles always makes me smile. Great album.

Meanders a little bit in the middle. Still a really solid album overall though.

More wonderful noise from Sonic Youth. Plenty of feedback etc. This is how guitars should be played.

A nice listen. Likely won't revisit this one much.

A pretty solid listen. Guess I'm more of a Sting/Police fan than I thought.

If it hadn't been early morning some of this album would possibly have put me to sleep. Not a terrible album by any means, just not for me.

Lots of great guitar and synth lines. Will be checking out more of their work in future for sure.

Big time Bowie fan. Was never gonna be any other rating for this one. Solid album from start to finish, even the Eno instrumentals. Up there with the Dame's best.

Great album, though some.of the songs go on just a bit longer than they really need to.

Liked this way more than I thought I would. Strong Bowie influence can be heard throughout.

Some interesting rhythms going on here. Had already heard the Soulful version of the first track, which I didn't realise was a cover until now. Can see the influence on later (Max fronted) Sepultura and Soulfly in the drums at least.

Some nice lo-fi on here. Will need to check out some more.

Jay Z on top form here.

I was hesitant to listen to this, nu metal isn't my favourite form of metal so I only was kinda aware of Linkin Park having intentionally avoided them in the past. This album is pretty good all told, nice riffs and found myself enjoying most of the songs. Scored higher than I expected to.

I'm not quite sure how I've managed to avoid listening to so many classic albums, but The Rolling Stones always seemed a band cemented in a time before mine. Ultimately you can't really beat a bit of good old rock n roll, and The Stones have always excelled at that. This album feels to me like you're in the studio with the band getting loaded and just enjoying some jams. The type of album this list was made for, imo.

Loved it. Another classic I had totally neglected until now.

Bon Jovi at their Bonniest and their Joviest.

Quite liked this one. Not amazing, bit pretty damn great.

I honestly tried to like this. It's just so damn boring to me. I listened twice thinking I must be missing something, but still just hmmmmmm. Not for me I guess

Good set of songs. Shame we lost such a brilliant talent.

Another undiscovered gem. Not even a name I was familiar with. Loved it.

Reading the notes, Elliott recorded all parts himself. This is precisely the type of album I wish I could've written myself. Top marks well deserved.

This album is sheer utter ear candy from start to finish. A complete joy to listen to. Perfection.

Sounds better late at night when you're very blazed. Apparently some of these songs were written as a stream of consciousness and it really shows.

JJ at her finest. A brilliant album with a brilliant band.

Le freak, c'est Chic.. Besides the songs I already knew the rest felt like filler. I appreciate their influence and the amount of other hits he's written or been involved in, but this album fell flat and was underwhelming.

You'd be forgiven for thinking a full band recorded this and not Dave Grohl all by himself. Some really great songs on here.

I lost something listening to this, not sure it was my soul though. Some interesting parts here and there but most of the songs felt like they dragged and plodded along. Bland

More like The Bland. Music from Big Stink

This is more like it. Great album.

I imagine being at an airport nowadays would be bad enough without having to listen to this snoozefest. Yawn.

Hip hop classic. Bars upon bars upon bars.

I was a bit hesitant over this one, as I didn't particularly like the solo album I listened to. This is however a great live album. Kinda get Van the Man now.

Lou Reed with some help from Bowie. Some really silly lyrics. And Perfect Day. Love this album.

These songs all blended together. Dull.

Some interesting stuff on here for sure. Will need to listen again some time.

Middle of the road.

FISHCAKES

Plods along wearily.

Randomly picked this up on vinyl as it intrigued me. Very eclectic.

Utterly bonkers

So different from what I'd usually listen to. Liked more than I didn't.

A corker of an album

It's Al Green. Nuff said really.

Pleasant enough. Average.

Great album

Not my usual bag, but I quote liked this.

This felt longer than it actually was.

Never getting that time back.

Was putting off listening to this one as I generally don't like live albums. The Who are tighter than Axls 90s hot pants here. Wow.

Forgive me Father For I have synthed....

Classic

Groovy grunge

Another great band I'd never heard of.

Timeless classic

What a wonderful, wonderful album. Loved every second of this.

Beautiful

Was a nice listen overall

An interesting listen. Still undecided.

Worth it for the 11 minute Grapevine cover alone. Everything else great too. Enjoyable listen.

I liked this a little more than I expected.

We like both kinds a music here. Country AND western.

Way way better than expected. One I'd never have checked out.

Sublime. Another top scorer.

Long live Ozzy. Perfection.

Oh my god, that's the funky shit.

Yes

Classic hip hop. Great use of samples throughout.

Extra points for unexpected Public Enemy.

I kept expecting strings to break. Very mellow. Can take or leave most of it to be brutally honest.

One I think I'm going to return to a lot.

Our eldest cat is named after Mossy Elliot. This album is awesome. Old school hip hop at its finest.

Dull as dishwater.

Meandering mellow dance music. Meh.

Freddie and the boys rocking out. Gotta love it.

Not really my bag.

Dull dull dull

Got sunshine in a bag. Brilliantly bonkers. Love Damon.

Been listening to this for over 30 years. It's part of my DNA. Brilliant.

When ABBA does their swan song, the swans do sing. Great stuff.

Great album

Melancholy MOR. Meh.

Rocktastic

Musical perfection.

Acoustic Zeppelin hits different for sure. Amazing.

Liquid lyricism. Bold beats. Wonderful Wutang.

Need to listen to this one more. Liked it more than I expected to going in.

Masterful use of samples. Rhymes effortless.

Better than I expected it to be

Earworms coming out the wazoo. That last song is so damn sweet it hurts, reminds me of I'm Sticking With You by Velvet Underground.

That feeling when 38 minutes feels like 3 hours. Yyyyyyyaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnzzzzzzzz

RIP Kurt. Amazing performances from all throughout. Nirvana on top form.

Some nice grooves on here.

Gloriously barmy. I love every second of this nutty LP.

Great album.

A pleasant enough listen. Nothing more, nothing less.

Repetitive, meditative. Made for a pleasant work commute. Probably won't listen ever again but don't feel like I wasted the time.

Well, Traffic rock. Loved it.

This album has everything anyone could ever want or need from one of the tightest bands ever recorded. Amazing from start to finish. Not a second wasted. Perfect.

Rock On Tommy

Insipid

Reggae reggae sauce.

Groove Is In The Heart does all the heavy lifting on this snoozefest of an album.

Pleasant sounds for a morning commute. Classics are classics for a reason.

I feel like this is a grower. The slower paced tracks let it down a bit for me. Voice is amazing.

Bit of a bitch to get through, that Bitches Brew.

My kinda music.

This album should come with a hearing damage warning. That cheering at the start near burst my eardrums. Great album

I feel like I could grow to really love this album.

Prefer the punk parts to the meandering bits.

Some outrageous bars on this. Classic

Eclectic

Went on for a bit longer than it needed to, both individual songs and album as a whole. Liked it a lot but it could have done with some trimming, imo.

Divine indeed

Groovy

Classic metal.

Meh

Metal masterpiece

Some good stuff woven into the mix. Seemed like it went on longer than it had to.

Wonderful.

They call it madness.

Not my favourite hip hop record. Good though.
