Lou Reed

2/5

Like a 2/5. Walk on the Wild side and Vicious does a lot of heavy lifting. He just isn't a good singer

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Pretty good, has that influenced by the beetles sound. 3.5/10

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Some great songs. Very quick album. 4/5

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5 great album with kick ass beats. It's a little long. But fantastic.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Not a Bowie fan :(

Blur

1/5

Stop giving me absolute mid euro rock. Song 2 is just ok. The rest I literally skipped through.

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

3/5

Much better than I thought it was going to be. Feels like the progenitor of the RAMONES

Chris

Christine and the Queens

4/5

Much much better than I expected. Saved a couple of songs off it. Didn't explore the French side.

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

One of my favorite albums, hit me when I was still a kid. Great on a re-listen.

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

1/5

The music would be good, until the singer starts on all these tracks. I get why it's an important album. I'm literally never listening to it again.

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

3/5

My wife loves Van Morrison. Hates his live stuff because he elongates every song and mumbles through the entire song. It was fine.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

It's a great album. When I told my wife I got this one, she mentioned that a bunch of the songs sound the same. She wasn't wrong. That knocks it from a 5/5

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

4/5

Actually pretty good great!

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Great album. So so so good. Much better than the last live van Morrison album

3/5

Doesn't hold up. Obvs.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Good album! Some fun songs.

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

2/5

It's a mid beach Boys album

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

3/5

Not that great

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

The album and lyrics are good, but it's in the Bob Dylan zone where I'm not sure Willie is a good singer.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Great album! So many songs I was unsure if they wrote them, or covered them. Some songs a little to long.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

2/5

It felt like one, very long, song.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

Much better than the other one I listened to by them. Its cool because, a lot of the instrumental reminds me of current rock/indie. Was a fun listen, but the lead vocals are trash at times

Tommy

The Who

3/5

Eh, it was long winded and faded into the background of what I was doing.

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

3/5

So many British punk albums. What the fuck. We can have less on this list

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

It didnfall into that normal problem with funk, where the songs kinda blend together and have a 30 second intro and 45 second outro.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

I liked it more than I thought I would. Listened to the front half, liked the energy of it.

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

3/5

I liked it more than I thought I would. Listened to the front half, liked the energy of it.

The Doors

2/5

Good, but some songs are to long and, like, self absorbed?

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

Almost a true 5/5 some of the songs stick with you, some are just to self-involved. I'll listen to thos album again in the future.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

3/5

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

Difficult to understand what the main singer is saying. Come on Eileen is still a banger. Would be 2/5 if not for that song

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

It's pretty good. Like, it's a 3.75, but not a 4

Sea Change

Beck

2/5

Eh, shortish and chill. Barely fine.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

Risque

CHIC

2/5

It's really not my style. All the songs are soooooooo long.

La Revancha Del Tango

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

2/5

It was all right. Not my cup of tea.

Cross

Justice

4/5

Always liked this album. The one sticking point is, I don't love their use of static in some of the songs, otherwise it would be a 5/5.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

2/5

I get it, but now for me

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

4/5

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

The first four tracks are the most famous and really showcase what to expect. I'd call this "boombox rap", it's made to be played loud for everyone to hear. Not a big fan of the type of the rap flavor, feels like I'm constantly being yelled at lol

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Q lot of the songs felt exactly the same. Also very aggressive and horny at times. Still some bangers on here though

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

2/5

Honestly, it's not that great. Feels like at the moment. She was a "breath of fresh air", but listening now there's a bunch of better artists that I'd rather listen too.

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

MC Solaar

3/5

It's good fench rap

Live At The Witch Trials
