Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

Good album. Recognised some of the songs, but like the live versions of most.

Purple Rain

Prince

2/5

Honestly was disappointed with this one. Knowing the famous songs made me think it would be a great album, but I didn't really enjoy most of it.

Tommy

The Who

3/5

This album was good. Didn't know what to expect going into it. Some familiar songs, lots I hadn't heard before.

Pretenders

1/5

Really not my cup of tea. Didn't even finish the album.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

2/5

Gave it a shot, but not really my thing.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Really enjoyed this album. Wasn't sure what to expect, but especially track 1 was great.

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

3/5

Not what I was expecting. Did the job as background music. Not sure I'd listen to it again but was ok.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

4/5

Never listened to this album before. Heard some familiar samples. Good album.

Movies

Holger Czukay

3/5

Very strange album. Some parts good as ambient music. Can hear some influences from other bands here and there. Cool in the Pool is very weird!

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

2/5

Had it in the background as I worked and didn't really "hear" much of it. Probably wouldn't listen to it again but didn't actively dislike it.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

Decent album. A little bit weird in places but overall not bad.

Teenage Head

Flamin' Groovies

2/5

Not really my kind of thing. Close though. 70s blues/rock can be ok but I'd probably rather just have either blues, or rock.

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

2/5

Being a fan of his version of Hallelujah I thought I might like some of his other stuff but it wasn't great.

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Ok album. Nothing outstanding to me though.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

5/5

Great album. Still love hearing his voice!

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

Ok for mostly bland pop-rock. Mr Brightside has been overplayed over the years so kind of fed up hearing it.

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

Great listening to this after a long time. Really enjoying it when it came out and was good to get back to it.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

4/5

This album was ok. Good background music. Wasn't too intrusive and I certainly would listen to it again.

ZZ Top

4/5

Really enjoyed this. Only familiar with a couple of songs from this band but I think they were all pretty great on this album.

A few good songs but most I wouldn't listen to again.

Rush

3/5

Ok in parts, but wasn't my favourite listen.

Morrison Hotel

Live!

Fela Kuti

3/5

Good album. Interesting hearing him deal with the audience.

Vespertine

Björk

1/5

Only managed 3 songs. Didn't really like anything about it.

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

1/5

Think I liked this even less than Bjork! First 20-30 seconds of the first track had an ear splitting noise. Then the songs just weren't very good!

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

Ages since I've listened to this album. It's great!

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

2/5

Was ok background music. I wasn't blown away by it. Can't say this has made me a Dylan fan.

The Score

Fugees

2/5

Not my favourite style of hip hop. It was ok but more the RnB aspects of it.

1/5

Not really a fan of this music. I know one song on the album and even that I don't really like.

The only song I remotely like on this album is Tainted Love and even then I don't like this version of it.

Nice easy listening with some familiar songs

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Better than I expected

American IV: The Man Comes Around

I'm not a big fan of Johnny Cash. Most on this album was pretty forgettable but it does have my favourite song of his, and that's his version of Hurt.

En-Tact

The Shamen

3/5

Early nineties dance music. Some tunes I recognise but a lot are headache inducing now :D
