Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Oct 23 2023

Very theatrical, great vocals, although very cheesy. Enjoyed a lot!

Oct 24 2023

As a Brit born in the 90s this was very nostalgic. Not a genre I listen to often, but really enjoyed the experience of listening in a oner. Fatboy was a pioneer of the genre and it shows. Favourite: Gangster Trippin Least Favourite: Acid 8000

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Oct 25 2023

I knew this album was going to be incredible and of course it was. Just a thrilling ride from start to finish, with belters for both the intro and outro. The sudden mood change for Changes made the song that much more impactful. This was a bit of me. Favourite: Wheels of Confusion & Under The Sun Least: Cornucopia, but only because I have to choose

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Oct 26 2023

I can see why this album is on this list. It was very imaginative, humorous and makes up a core part of the classic 90s American hip-hop sound. I do not want to take away from what is clearly an excellent and interesting piece of art. However, I did not personally enjoy this, which did surprise me as I generally regard myself as a fan of the genre and time period. Therefore, it is being rated low according to my personal taste and enjoyment only. Favourite: Buddy Least Favourite: D.A.I.S.Y Age

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Oct 27 2023

The Cure have never really been my cup of tea and unfortunately this album solidified that for me. I didn’t even notice it had started replaying as it was very one note. Favourite: A Forest Least: any instrumental track

Transformer by Lou Reed
Oct 30 2023

I had never personally heard a Lou Reed song before this album though I knew of him. I must say, I doubt I will be familiarising myself with his discography. Some I enjoyed and some had lines that sounded like mad libs. Favourite: Satellite Of Love Least Favourite: Perfect Day

The Score by Fugees
Oct 31 2023

This album is clearly a revelation seeing as I could name many other songs that have sampled the songs throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. No songs I disliked but, as always, will rank my favourite and least. Favourite: Zealots Least Favourite: Cowboys

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Nov 01 2023

A nice little Italian musical piece. Favourite: Little Italy Least Favourite: unknown

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Nov 29 2023

Really enjoyed this piano piece - calming and full of love. Favourite: Waltz For Debby

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Nov 30 2023

I can see the talent here and why it’s very popular but I am rating these on my own personal opinion and this just wasn’t for me. Favourite: Wonderful World Least Favourite: Erzulie

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Jan 04 2024

I’m a big fan of the Stones, but this is just a cover album of blues songs that were done better by the originals. I hope this is not the only Stones album that makes it to the list as this is nowhere near their best.
