Remain In Light

Talking Heads

3/5

Once in a Lifetime is good. The rest had good music but I'm not a big fan of the talking singing style.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

3/5

Enjoyable, but I prefer their hits (I'm worried that will be my review for all 1001 ablums!)

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

This is one I owned in my youth. The hits here are top notch but there is no amazing deep cuts here.

Tracy Chapman

3/5

Good.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

This is the reason I signed up. Not my genre of choice but enjoyable music.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

Yep, that is Michael Jackson

The Stooges

2/5

Just not for me.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

Slaps.

Risque

CHIC

2/5

Confirms disco is not a genre I enjoy.

Ooo. That is good. This is the first album which has come up that I haven't heard already and want to re-listen.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Pretty good.

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

2/5

Not for me.

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin

3/5

I like it but I don't love it.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

I can appreciate this is good music but not something I see myself revisiting.

Leftism

Leftfield

3/5

Enjoyable. Sounds a bit generic in 2023 but obviously that isn't fair.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

A classic for my generation

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

I like it..

Black Sabbath

I understand how influential Black Sabbath to my favorite genre but I don't love their music.

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

Really a great piece of music. First 5 star rating.

The Wall

Strikingly unique voice but I cannot say really enjoy it.

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

Familiar with the hits from my childhood. Pretty good.

Queens of the Stone Age

I feel like I should like Queens of the Stone Age but I just don't.

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

1/5

I don't know why this is on the list. I did not enjoy it.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

Not bad music (poor recording quality or source for the Spotify stream).

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Classic from my childhood

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

By no means do I hate the electric organ but I am glad modern synthesizers give artist more options. Enjoyable.

Dire Straits

4/5

Great stuff.

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

2/5

Not sure how to rate this one. 2 feels low but 3 feels high considering how I've been rating albums up until this point. 2.5/5

Hypnotised

The Undertones

2/5

Meh.

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

Already familiar with this album. Blackstar and Lazarus are bangers. The other songs are okay.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

I've never heard this and I enjoy it. 3.5/5 Cosmic Dancer is a really catchy.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Good but not his best. (2 Bowie recommendations in a week?)

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

I call a lot of other early metal albums "proto metal" but this one still holds up even in 2023. It isn't even in my top 10 but it is good.

A Grand Don't Come For Free

I enjoyed listening to something so different but the music didn't click with me.
