Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

1/5

Possibly the worst style of music I can think of. He wasn't bad but I didn't enjoy it at all.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

5/5

Debut

Björk

5/5

It's Bjork. Sounds like nothing else. Not her best album, but some great songs and still sounds great 30 years later

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

5/5

This was one of my favourite albums for a while when it first came out. Still remember it well and haven't listened to it in years.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Great album, but far from his best. 3 stars but only within the context of the rest of his work.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

It's ok. Got some great songs, but it's AC/DC so they're all a bit samey.

Transformer

Lou Reed

5/5

Some great tracks on this one

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

3/5

Has a great sound, gets repetitive after a while for me though

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

2/5

It was ok. There's a couple of great songs on it, but overall it fell pretty flat for me. First time I've listened to an album of theirs, and it's not my thing, although I don't think they're really an album band.

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

Great album

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

2/5

It was ok, not something I'd choose to listen to. I'm having to be harsh with scoring because these are all great albums.

Teenage Head

Flamin' Groovies

2/5

Not bad, but nothing too interesting either, I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it again.

Tago Mago

Can

3/5

It's an interesting one. Definitely enjoyed listening to it, but probably not something I'd listen to often. Great suggestion though.

Low

David Bowie

4/5

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

Just a great album

3/5

Better than I thought to be honest, I've never been a fan of Rush, but I did like this one

2/5

Was never into gangster rap, but it was ok, doubt I'd listen to it again

5/5

One of my favourite albums

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

Some great tracks on this one

3/5

1/5

Didn't make it all the way through, didn't enjoy it

5/5

One of my favourites
