Adele

2/5

Eh, 2-3 good songs but has nothing on 21 and not deserving of being in this list!

OK Computer

Radiohead

1/5

Just my least favourite band and album on this list so far, but I'm not surprised to see them on here. Overrated, banal, passionless, pointless.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

First album!!! Giving this a shot, cannot wait to expand my musical horizons :) some absolute gems here, amazed at how many songs on this have been sampled over the years. Does go on too long, in numbers of songs and the songs themselves. But they cover a really wide range of styles, and now interested in what else stevie made over the years.

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

A really bizarre experimental album, quite interesting but won't listen again. Would rate it as his best, some people have but I'm not sure it makes this list.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

Teen Dream

Beach House

3/5

Unfortunately this isn't an album with any appeal, but seeing other reviews this is just a personal preference. Even so I can't see how it's worthy of this list - there are experimental tracks and technically well finished but with a fairly similar pace, tone, and without any standout tracks with a spark or hook to make it memorable.

Homework

Daft Punk

5/5

A solid debut album that rightly made daft punk and french music a big name on the world scene. Solid album though, largely instruments album which limits its place but I can't dock points for that. Great choice for when the mood is right.

Raw Power

The Stooges

4/5

Lives up to the name. Rough cut, but looking into the production history I'm amazed it sounds as polished as it does!

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

4/5

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

I mean it's eminem at his best...not my type of music normally but got some great tracks and compared to everything else from that time, really stands out.

Joan Armatrading

3/5

A lovely sounding album, not the most energetic but with plenty of passion. Perfect for relaxing at the end of the day.

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

5/5

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

4/5

Some good fun listening to this, with surprising depth and history to the lyrics layered between good alt-country tunes. Will give their other albums a try!

Machine Head

Deep Purple

2/5

Just not their best work, really surprised to see it on this list. Unless they have other albums on here, I'd really question the decision to put this album on this list over their 70s work.

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

5/5

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

4/5

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

5/5

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

Definitely not the album I expected, based on hearing a couple of Nelson's songs before...it was a good listen, and I could appreciate the great blend of styles and lovely vocals, but not an album I want to listen to again. Just not my preference, so I'll give it a middle of the road rating.

Moondance

Van Morrison

5/5

Amazing album, soulful and moving, that could be listened to in the kitchen or living room. Definitely try his other albums!

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

Just an epic album to dance to!

Adele

2/5

Eh, 2-3 good songs but has nothing on 21 and not deserving of being in this list!

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

2/5

A collaboration album between four great musicians of thier field. While the tracks contain signatures of all four musicians individual styles, I'm disappointed that the end project seems to be worse than the sum of its parts! A moody, languid record lacking the spark to make it powerful. A shame as it's technically very good with good rhythms and lyrics. For that I can't give it a one star, as some people may like it but for me this album is an unfortunate miss.

Parklife

Blur

5/5

An iconic albums of the britpop 90s! A lot more varied than I imagined it would be, with only knowledge of Blurs biggest hits...all round great and deserving of its critical acclaim.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

Fantastic album!! Filled with a good variety of songs with rich melodies, passion and fun. Would have loved to see these songs live back in the day....possibly Elton's best album, but ive still got more to listen to and I hope im proven wrong!

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

1/5

Really bland listen. I know now why I'd never heard of this album before.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

5/5

Traffic

4/5

A great 60s album by a band id honestly never heard of - Steve Winwood bringing a great sound for nice casual listening.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

A really unique live album, great set showing Johnnie's lifelong camaraderie with prisoners. Personally really enjoyed it

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

A couple of great hits, but a lot of tracks are disappointments. A couple of favourites (besides the eternal hit superstition) are Tuesday Heartbreak and I believe.

Me Against The World

2Pac

5/5

A brilliant album with amazing flow, introspective lyrics, almost to becoming a life story of Tupac. A hip-hop classic and a must for anyone looking to explore the genre.

Phrenology

The Roots

4/5

OK Computer

Radiohead

1/5

Just my least favourite band and album on this list so far, but I'm not surprised to see them on here. Overrated, banal, passionless, pointless.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5
