Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Popular Reviews

Every song sounded like a sitcom theme song.

Suspiciously timely (writing this just before 8am on 27.8.24) and all the better for it.

Imagine being stuck in a lift with this for an hour.

Very much the dictionary definition of hating both the player and the game.

Definitely a high 4, especially as it came up on the day Paul Di'Anno passed away. RIP.

Mmmmmm....Jazz. Great. Really great.

Polly Jane. Undisputed queen of indie.

Weller's gonna Weller.

Dandy's Gonna Warhol

Yes. No

Lot of fillah. Absolutely no Killah.

Like most jazz it all sounds the same to me, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The album that Jazz Club on The Fast Show is based on. Great. Really great.

Needed spirits to get through this one.

So bland I didn't even realise it had finished.

Stank.

Dre(a)dful

Stonkin'

The best thing to come out of Bolton other than the Mighty Wanderers.

I actually left the room twice because I forgot it was on.

In football terms, he missed a sitar.

Just not ma jizz man.

Blah, blah, stoned, blah.

Every song sounded like a sitcom theme song.

Seminal

Fuck yeah!!!

Question?

Listened to it sat at a tram stop and barely noticed it even though the tram was 20 minutes late.

Seminal

Glory(box)ious

Had two of these on my Spotify liked playlist before I listened which says it all really.

Judas Priest indeed.

I was Ready To Die after this.

Average Stones album, bar Paint it Black, is still average.

Bored from beginning to end.

Neither good nor bad. Just......there.

Was going to be a 4 but then it just went on and on and on and on and on......

Stone. Cold. Classic.

My best mate rates Sepultura so much. He's wrong.

Imagine that The Divine Comedy and Kirsty MacColl got together and gave birth to James McCartney who then made a concept album with Sean Lennon.

As smooth as your Grandad's crushed purple velvet jacket.

Clapton gonna Clapton.

Getting a four simply for having two CSI themes on it.

Great. Really great.

Hard no.

Fab Macca Thumbs Aloft

Suspiciously timely (writing this just before 8am on 27.8.24) and all the better for it.

Shouty shouty drums drums shouty shouty guitar guitar shouty shouty drums guitar

Solid.

One of the most violently angry albums I have ever listened to and all the better for it.

Should lose a star for the car song but I can't bring myself to.

Hmmmmm nice. Great. Really great.

Disappointed in the singer, not the songs.

Not my thing at the time, only slightly more bearable now.

No. Just plain no.

Great then. Great now.

Guess I'll have to wake them up tomorrow.

Like being hit over the head repeatedly by the soundtrack from an amateur production of Cabaret.

Autobahn is half of it so it gets an above average half

Definitely a high 4, especially as it came up on the day Paul Di'Anno passed away. RIP.

A friend who'd already had this on their list told me to listen to it again to give it a proper appraisal. So I did. And now that's 90 minutes of my life I'm not getting back.

Seminal

Not his finest hour but Bowie on a bad day beats most on their best.

A lot more than I expected. Underrated.

Enjoyable, if not my thing

Ho Hum

Standard Costello.

Hmmmmm......nice. Really nice. All albums should be shorter than half an hour.

Interesting

Some absolute bangers let down by some middling tunes.

Perfect. No notes.

Hello and welcome to Jazz Club. Great. Really great. Tonight, we're giving it a 3. Nice.

Hate the player, not the music. Exquisite.

Meh

Flawless

Early Beatles, still better than most.

Of its time yo.

Seminal

Perfect Xmas album, Spector notwithstanding.

Gets a three because Without You was number one the week my wife was born.

Absolutely not my jam.

My wife came into the room when Free Form Guitar was on and asked what this crap was.....

Five stars and your opinion is irrelevant!

The Equalizer should have come round and put me out of my misery.

Preferred him in EastEnders Duff Duff......

Timeless

I've never forgiven him for the Window Licker video. And I never will......

NOISENOISENOISENOISENOISE!!!!!! And all the better for it.

Thumping!

No notes.

Alexa, play me Travis, but from the eighties.

There's definitely something there and most of it's bad.

PSB can do no wrong.

No such thing as coincidence and all the better for it.

Middling Morrissey. He'd hate that.

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Probably my favourite rap album (sorry Ice Cube).

Pleasant enough but can't understand from this how she's the biggest star in the world and ruined the Kansas City Chiefs in the process.

It is The Fall and your opinion is invalid.

Chore by name........

A great album to reply to emails too.

Imagine being stuck in a lift with this for an hour.

Would have preferred Dizzy by Vic Reeves

There are people who get Joy Division and people who are wrong.

Like the current incumbent of the White House this album has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. This is the first album of the 800+ I've listened to I would give a zero to if possible. Proper spoiled my Easter weekend.

Decidedly inoffensive, which I'm sure wasn't the vibe they were going for at the time.

Accessible

Would rather had been in orbit.

Paul>John.......oh, sorry. Wrong messy break up.

Would have got a 4 but didn't include the SVU theme.

Very much the dictionary definition of hating both the player and the game.

Play the Pogues drinking game by drinking whenever The Pogues are playing.

Coincidence I got this on the day JD/NO got into the R&RHOF? Yes, probably. But so what?

About as good as his acting in Silo.

My ex bought me this in cassette form for Christmas 1992 and it's the only thing I'm grateful to her for.

I heard three of The Beatles and both Simon and Garfunkel in here but nothing that would make me want to remember the sixties, even if I'd been there man.

Coldplay are dull....blah blah blah Chris Martin's a dick.....blah blah blah There's not a bad track on this album. Some people need to get over themselves.

The bollocks

For a man who spent a lot of time off his head, this was not what I was expecting.

Like I'd been transported back in time to the first Glastonbury

I too was the second toughest in the infants. But then again I was home schooled.

Made by people on drugs for people on drugs. Unfortunately I wasn't on drugs but by the end of it definitely needed a load of drugs. Man.

I have been to Blackburn, Lancashire and can confirm there are about 1,000 potholes there. But that's a Reform council for you.

Classic.

Would rather be in Hanoi in 1968 than listen to this again.

Thank God I got to album 902 before getting this load of pretentious codswallop. Because if it had been in the first 100 I might not have continued.

No Bellbottoms? No good.

File under I for interesting. Also under I for interesting, I went to school in Moss Side and it was Very Interesting.

Think I'd rather be stung by a Triffid.
