In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

Odd that this was the first album served up to me as I’d only listened again for the first time a few days ago after finding the CD in a charity shop Really liked this album as a kid when it first came out and time has only improved it

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Not listened to this for years, really enjoyed hearing it through again

The Predator

Ice Cube

3/5

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Always thought Simon & Garfunkel where overrated this hasn’t changed that much but hazy shade of winter is a banger so it gets an extra star for that

Nice bit of old school rock

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

3/5

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

3/5

The Velvet Underground

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Heard this album so much growing up as Queen where one of my mums favourite bands, couple of dud tracks prevent it from getting the full 5* though

American Pie

Don McLean

2/5

Don McLean has two good songs and they are both on this album

Sheet Music

10cc

3/5

First album served up on this project that I’ve not heard. Always slept on 10cc now will look into them more

4/5

This was one of my favourite albums growing up must have listened to it so many times as a result probably given it a star too many

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

Still my favourite beastie boys album, so much variation and some great instrumentals and sabotage is an all time classic

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Great album with Bowles influence evident throughout

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

3/5

I was aware of The Fall mostly due to seeing interviews with Mark E Smith when I was growing up, couldn’t name one of their tunes though so this was a nice introduction. Not blown away but will check out some of their other work

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Several tracks missing from this on Spotify so had listen elsewhere. Shows the importance of keeping physical media I guess. A solid introduction into Crosby Stills Nash & Young

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

3/5

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

2/5

Dylan is a great songwriter but not a great singer

4/5

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

Was served this on the day that Lia, announced the 30th anniversary tour of it. A defining album and moment in Britpop and whilst Oasis became an overblown caricature of themselves you can’t deny the cultural impact of this album

Technique

Not sure this should have been on a 1001 albums to listen to before you die list. Competent enough but nothing really stood out about it so I’d have happily passed without ever hearing it

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

4/5

I like metal, not a massive Slipknot fan though but can’t deny that this is a good album

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins
