I just couldn't get into this one. I remember it being played a lot back when it was first released and, just like then, it never had any impact on me. I'd say that Ed Sheeran has been influenced by this. Not my cup of tea at all.

I Should Coco
Supergrass
I'd forgotten how good this album really is. Straight ahead rock n roll with some great drum work. Back of the Bus is the stand out track for me. Supergrass were one of the truly great bands of the britpop era, far better than Oasis or Blur, imo.

I've actually been listening listening to this album a lot recently. I'm a big fan of punk music from this era and this is up there with the best of them.

I do like the VU and this is a pretty good album. I can hear harmonies similar to the Grateful Dead and some of the organ work is reminiscent of The Doors but it is still a good album.

The Chronic
Dr. Dre
I tried, i really tried. The music he samples is pretty good but the lyrical assault was just too much for me. There are only so many bitches, niggaz and gun references that i can take. Chronic would have been a better title for it.

Pure rubbish. I couldn't put myself through this bittersweet nonsense. I listened to a bit of each song and found each one nauseating.

At Fillmore East
The Allman Brothers Band
Arguably the greatest live album of all time. I've owned a copy of this for a long time and never tire of listening to it. One of the best examples of having a lot of genres(Blues, Jazz, Soul, Rock)all rolled into one and played by a group of amazing musicians at the peak of their power.

Dookie
Green Day
This is my first time listening through this whole album. These guys done their homework cos the influences from all the great punk bands are apparent to hear, pistols, clash, DK's. I think this could have been a classic punk album if it had been released about 1981 but instead it was a springboard for bands like Blink 182 who were at the forefront of the American punk revival of the mid 90s along with Green Day. This is probably the best album i've heard from that time and genre. Well worth a listen.

Street Signs
Ozomatli
Not my cup of tea. This is what i say when i think something is shit. The English inner city indian rapper during the first song is enough for me to stop listening. If you want to hear something similar to this only better and done by a better musician then give Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan a listen to.

About what i expected, REM being REM. Welcome to the Occupation is a good song, reminiscent of The Smiths. Not a bad album.

Sly & The Family Stone
I own a couple of Sly Stone's earlier albums and they're pretty good. This is my first time listening to this particular album and i'm completely underwhelmed. It hasn't a patch on the other two. I'm pretty disappointed in this, was expecting more.

Good album. This is what i should have been listening to in the 80s. It's a shame it's taken me 40 years to realise that ffs. Anyway, this is good music.

C'est Chic
CHIC
Exactly as i expected. Late 70s American disco music, there were a lot of bands in this genre, i prefer The Crusaders to this though. Found it a bit repetitive and the lyrics weren't very imaginative.

Dummy
Portishead
I always thought of Portishead as a band that college students would have liked just to sound cool. To me they're just a band who try to be too clever by using as many effects as they can. I got sick of the singers voice and almost identical style for each song. Pretty boring.

This one took me by surprise. I was expecting some awful tribal world music but this is reminiscent of the best soul/funk of 70s America. Amazing album.

I don't like the singers style of singing, he makes each song sound the same.
