Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

Surprisingly great stuff. Not usually a big fan of live albums, but this one is just great start to end, and for most of it you can barley tell it's live. My favorite song was my generation

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

Bleh, not very good. Songs were mostly too long. My favorite song was full throttle

Timeless

Goldie

2/5

Goldie be like: 'I am going to make an album that is so long' Like seriously, there's some genuinely good stuff in here, but Jesus CHRIST why did this have to be 110 minuets long, like holy shit. This is clearly an absolute trip of a producers ego and I won't be revisiting it any time soon lol.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Stevie Wonder is one of the most expressive and soothing singers I've ever heard, and it's honestly enough to carry a whole album. Not to say the songwriting isn't good, it is, but there's one thing I'm really coming here for, and that's the heavenly singing. That, and Superstition, which is a certified hood classic.

Young Americans

David Bowie

Very good

Permission to Land

The Darkness

4/5

Shamelessly indulgent of the hair metal cliches that ruled the roost back in the late eighties before grunge came along and kicked it's shit, right down to the, uh, provocative, let's say, cover. Little shocking that this came out in 2003. Little trashy, and it's no Appetite for Destruction, but it's really fun nonetheless, and just a really upbeat and enjoyable listen. My favorite track was Friday night.

All That You Can't Leave Behind

2/5

It certainly was a U2 album

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

A Northern Soul

The Verve

1/5

Bitter sweet symphony guys roll lamest album ever, asked to leave list of 1001 albums you must listen to before you die

Third

Soft Machine

3/5

I HATE PROG ROCK I DONT WANT TO LISTEN TO 18 MINUITE TRACKS ONE AFTER THE OTHER I DON'T WANT TO SIT THROUGH SEVEN MINUITES OF A GUITAR SOLO Actually this isn't bad tbh

Ramones

3/5

Hugely important album, and Britzkreig Bop is an all time banger, but once you've heard one track, you've kind of heard them all. Neat album closer, though. Did you know these guys sold more shirts then records?

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

led zepplin twoooooooo even more led then the first one

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

It was pretty decent I guess. I liked Tired Eyes

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

2/5

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

1/5

Actually after a day I can't remember like a single thing about this album except the weirdly popular title track. I think there was a bit of narration at some point? Whatever

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

2/5

Once you get over the general weirdness of this album you'll realize how boring it is regardless. 2 stars because of the part where the guy burns his car

Common

4/5

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Tracy Chapman

5/5

The Stone Roses

3/5

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Cool album I liked the part on European Son where he had a heroin overdose while nailing that guitar solo, Andy Warhol really outdid himself on this album

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

5/5

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

Alright this album kicks ass to hell and back and is hugely influential but holy shit why does that squealing noise on Don't believe the hype, like oh my god it's awful please make it fucking stop, like I can't stress enough how terrible this sound is Jesus Christ

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

3/5

Actually a pretty decent album but who tf thought to themselves 'oh yeah, you absolutely MUST listen to Rings around the world before you die, otherwise your life will have been incomplete', like I can't really understand what would bring someone to this logic

Elvis Presley

4/5

It was very cool of Elvis Presley to invent music so for that reason alone I have to give this album four stars

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

2/5

if shitposting existed in the 60's people would be calling this white girl music

School's Out

Alice Cooper

5/5

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

She went back to black :(

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

That coat has 2 colors

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

Probably responsible for the existence of Limp Bizkit but pretty good otherwise

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

2/5

Boston

4/5

This is the rock album equivalent of blowing your load in the first minute. Nothing these guys did afterwards got anyone to give a damn. Probably because of the shitty name. Album still goes hard though. The band may feel underwhelming in coming years (or in this quickie analogy, in the coming seconds) but it feels great in the moment

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Horses

Patti Smith

5/5
