The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla · 1 likes

2/5

I was going to give this a 1 because it's really not my thing at all (though appreciated the talent this most likely took to produce and perform) but I enjoyed nuevo tango so knocked it up a score.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

3/5

Quite a mixed album, a couple classics with some ok songs and some not so great. Some of it sounds quite dated in a strange way but I would still say it was on the better side of average.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

2/5

A good live album but not one I would place high in my top 1000 albums. Best song - Plateau

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

What an amazing album, opening with what many consider the greatest who song isn't a bad way to get things going. Definitely one of the greats and solid throughout. Best song - Won't get fooled again

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

Radiohead's first 3 albums are all incredible and music I listen to regularly. Best song - Just (though fake plastic trees is a very close second)

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

2/5

Somewhat a decent album, never listened to massive attack before and I don't think I'll add them to my repertoire but I didn't actively dislike it. Best song - Blue lines (is the start of this what Wiz and snoop sampled?)

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Such a cool album, fun to listen to with some certified classics! I wouldn't say its a perfect album but it is an easy 4/5 stars. Best song - Keep gettin it on

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

2/5

Not quite my thing but a couple of tracks were enjoyable and I can appreciate the talent. Best song - Samba Dees Days

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

An alright album, never really listened to much of the YYYs but some songs are worth a relisten. Best song - off with your head

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Enjoyed it Best song - not too sure but maybe "Accidents will happen"

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

Bit of a mixed bag, some songs on here I really enjoyed having never heard of the band before. There are some songs that I really struggled though as well though. Best song - Supernaturally

The xx

2/5

This is more 2.6 than a 2, I enjoyed some songs. Best song - crystallised

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

What an incredible talent, some songs don't quite hit with me but it's so easy to appreciate a genius as good as Hendrix. Not listened to much prior to this other than the big hits but there are definitely songs I'll add to my liked songs. Best song - Castles made of sand

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

1/5

Just couldn't get into it, I'm sure there is something there, maybe the beat, but was a struggle to get through Best song(?) - airwave hysteria

Clandestino

Manu Chao

3/5

First listen I wasnt too sure and listening another time I'm still not quite sure. Do think it's quite special to get an album where you've got 3 or 4 languages, and bongo bong is a banger.

War

2/5

It was fine, I think this shows that I don't really care for U2 outside of their big hits. Best song - Sunday bloody Sunday

Queen II

Queen

4/5

Queen are such an incredible band, hadn't heard any of the songs prior to this but what a top album. Best song - father to son

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

1/5

Whilst I respect his general talent and appreciate how special Stevie Wonder is, I thought this was pretty awful. Best song - golden lady

Soul Mining

The The

2/5

Forgettable Best song - This is the day

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

Really is very good. Best song - Yes sir, no sir

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

2/5

I'm sure for the right crowd this is great but just didn't hit it off for me. Wouldn't even say I have a best song, it's all just very mediocre (not terrible though).

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

Wouldn't say it's their best album but is still fantastic. Whilst it is different to previous albums I feel like you know what to expect with Radiohead and this just proves that this is not a bad thing. Best Song - Idioteque

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

2/5

It's fine and think there are some good songs but not really my jam. Best song - Superfly

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Fantastic start to an album, solid throughout though Im not a huge zeppelin fan this does make me want to listen to more. Best song - Immigrant song

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

Really solid album and a few songs that have been saved. Best song - pink moon

Kenza

Khaled

1/5

This is not enjoyable at all, I appreciate different cultures have different tastes and do like that this list includes that but really not for me.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

5/5

Listened to this quite a few times and I really enjoyed it. In the least disrespectful way possible this is fantastic background music and really enjoyed having this on whilst I worked. Due to that I couldn't tell you the names of any songs but this album is being saved for sure.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

3/5

Liked this more than I thought, don't think my music taste has opened further but not something I would turn off now. Best song - you ain't going nowhere

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

3/5

Not that great of a Beatles fan and this album, whilst I appreciate it, is not one that hits home for me, especially through the middle section where it gets a bit out there. Best song - Lovely Rita

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Really enjoyable, who knew they had more than 3 songs and they're actually really good. Best song - Concrete Jungle

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. Best song - Personal Jesus
