Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

Interesting album, not my cup of tea but some good songs. Always loved Walk on the Wild Side

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

Love the 90s production, and definitely a handful of bangers. Lyrics are god awful.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

2/5

It is what it is. A bit of nostalgia from the titular track thanks to too many hours on THPS - but that's all I got out of it.

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

Masterpiece.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

5/5

Reminds me of the chronic shirt I used to own which I was not cool enough to pull off. Great album and impeccable distillation of chaotic 90s G-Funk.

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

4/5

Amazing, never heard of them. Always up for unexpected funk.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

Absolutely seminal album from one of my favourite bands of all time. Cannot imagine how fresh this must have sounded in 1980, especially a year after Fear of Music.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

Good clean fun

Pretenders

2/5

Meh. 1 or 2 good songs but ultimately forgettable. Says a lot when the most famous song is boring advert fodder.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Not my favourite EW&F album but still a corker, Shining Star is ridiculous.

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

The Score

Fugees

5/5

Unreal 90s hip hop at its finest.

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

1/5

One of the worst things I've ever heard. Sounds like a 14 year old first attempt at a mixtape.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

3/5

Surprisingly good and not too cheesy

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

I feared that my affection for the later Radiohead albums would taint my view of the slightly earlier catalogue, however I forgot how much of a BANGER this is. They can do no wrong. Just is a certified MTV2 classic. Just brilliant.

Live!

Fela Kuti

5/5

Just incredible. Two massively influential musicians at their best.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

3/5

I feel like Amys success has actually been slightly detrimental here. I like the album but having heard half of the tracks 500 times in adverts, tv shows, pubs etc I am finding myself pretty bored throughout most of it. I suspect if I listened back when it came out I would enjoy it a lot more.

Germs

1/5

sorry but no

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

It was a fun novelty to hear the album that contains the first song I ever learnt on guitar, as I'm sure it was for many people. Unfortunately the cheese is too much but it has some moments.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

3/5

Fun, 80s drum heaven. Bit too of its time.

McCartney

Paul McCartney

4/5

Very good, a few bits of ob la di-esque trite but overall it had solid Beatles energy.

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

Pretty good, a lot of the songs in the middle section I really like. Still trying to decide if I like the guys voice or not (should probably know his name).

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

4/5

Really nice, a lot more ethereal than I was expecting. Can hear solid foundations for Bitches Brew down the line.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

4/5

SO WEIRD but in the best way, had absolutely no idea what to expect, and this definitely wasn't it, but loved it.

Raw Power

The Stooges

3/5

Better than I thought it would be but still not my vibe.

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

Crazy funky goodness from the highly influential 70s outfit

New York Dolls

2/5

Absolute cheese and not good cheese. Like those dairylea cheesestring knock-offs which are shit.

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

Interesting proto-shoegaze vibes

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

Surprisingly great, had never thought to listen to them before. Love the more rocky stuff.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

2/5

Always thought Blondie were overrated and this has only confirmed my suspicions.

Femi Kuti

5/5

Am a huge Fela Kuti fan so naturally loved this. Interesting to hear classic Afrobeat with signature 90s production, and Femi manages to mark his own style on his fathers legacy.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

Pretty average but I appreciate how raw it is

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Nostalgia bomb of fantastic music

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

A good album but feels a bit inapropriate to listen to at work or in public

Selected Ambient Works 85-92
