Queen II by Queen
Jan 11 2024

Interesting listening to early queen, enjoyable album

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jan 14 2024

Just a great listen, easy to drift away to, sounded incredible

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jan 15 2024

Obviously knew the famous songs but found myself warming to this album a lot overall, loved Tina's voice with the 80s production

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jan 16 2024

Mesmerising, cloudbusting a highlight but there were many others

Jan 18 2024

Not a massive fan of this lo-fi indie, find it dull and switched this album off after a few songs

The Stooges by The Stooges
Jan 19 2024

Enjoyable album

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 20 2024

Really enjoyed this, great laid back vibe, kinky reggae stood out amongst many highlights

Synchronicity by The Police
Jan 21 2024

Hmm honestly wasn't sure, some bits I liked and others didn't, preferred the second half of the album or side 2 on vinyl....and what about 'mother' ... awful

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jan 23 2024

I loved this, the passion of the audience, the conversation between the songs and how good the songs were, the back story of these gigs as well, an unexpected surprise

#1 Record by Big Star
Jan 25 2024

Alright....

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jan 26 2024

Bit boring for me

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 27 2024

First album from 'my era' and first time I've listened in a while, a fantastic album, sounded amazing 15 years on as I have some better headphones now ! Actually their best song from this era was Mykonos on an EP, if you like this album then check out this track also

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jan 28 2024

A pleasant, if unremarkable, listen

Medúlla by Björk
Jan 29 2024

I have post and debut in my collection which are both great albums, this, IMO, is awful, turned off after a few songs to save my ears

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jan 30 2024

I liked the white stripes in the 00s but listening for the first time in 10-15 years I didn't find as enjoyable, the singles are good but rest of the album feels like it's padded out with fillers, hasn't aged that well in terms of my tastes but not a bad album overall

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jan 31 2024

Not too bad

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Feb 01 2024

Feels like the album to listen to at 30k feet looking out the window at a sunrise, but I was in the car and lost interest

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Feb 02 2024

Wanted to like it but switched off after a few songs, not really a fan of this genre

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 03 2024

Took me back to my early 20s, a fantastic album, maybe a couple of tracks too long but some amazing tracks, not listened to it for a while but really enjoyed it

Slipknot by Slipknot
Feb 04 2024

Actually didn't mind this

Feb 06 2024

Great album, was into Coldplay before they become famous, the scientist reminds me of a bad break up though

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Feb 09 2024

I got into them later and preferred those albums but it was ok

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 10 2024

Really doesn't sound 23 years old, really enjoyable listen, I have got 3 later gorillaz albums and knew the 2 main singles but enjoyed listening to this

Feb 11 2024

It was ok but got a bit bored, did wonder how many people who bought this originally listened to all 4682 tracks

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Feb 12 2024

Big fan of Deep Purple, my dad listened to them in the 70s and as a teenager in the 90s I got into them, have quite a few albums but never heard this, yes some tracks go on quite a long time but this was live and loved the improvisation, the drum solo on the mile was quality It also includes space truckin' which I love

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Feb 13 2024

Really enjoyed this

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Feb 14 2024

I've not heard of the youngbloods before but I was pleasantly surprised, great album

Drunk by Thundercat
Feb 15 2024

Got bored with a few songs to go

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 19 2024

This is my second wailers album after catch a fire which I thought was excellent, this was equally as good but you can see how the style had evolved, obviously a few more well known songs on this one, I wasnt into reggae much before this but enjoying it a lot more now

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Feb 20 2024

Putting aside that take me out is one of those songs that I turn off instantly as over played, see mr brightside as well I was pleasantly surprised by the rest of this album which I really enjoyed The 00s were my era for listening to and buying the most music and I liked a lot of similar bands but never bought this album, no sure why, but before streaming it was harder to listen to music without buying the cd Overall a great listen, skipped take me out though

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Feb 21 2024

Tbh a bit non descript, preferred earlier albums

The Clash by The Clash
Feb 22 2024

Not a massive punk fan, it was ok but always a bit shouty, my favourite song was police and thieves which turns out to be a reggae cover which explains that

Feb 24 2024

Another review summed it up for me, liked a couple of tracks but was willing the album to end towards the end... "I try and try but I just can’t do Bob Dylan 🤷‍♂️ His voice is annoying and that damned harmonica, sheesh"

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Feb 25 2024

Surprisingly really enjoyed this and suspect I'll be back for a second listen, very soothing on headphones, favourite track was 'we had it all's

Stankonia by OutKast
Feb 27 2024

I try with hip hop but I really can't get into it, best songs on here are the more tuneful ones and less cussing ones, drawn out, long and turned off before the end

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Mar 01 2024

Surprised this is in the list, completely unremarkable, not bad not great just meh

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 02 2024

An absolutely classic, I never tire of listening to Fleetwood Mac, the Buckingham/Nicks/Mcvie/Mcvie/Fleetwood era, actually though this is my 3rd favourite behind tango in the night and mirage but it's still a joy to listen to - 5 stars !

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 04 2024

Haven't listened to this for quite a while, great album, atmospheric and some great tunes, love the rhythm section and strings. Also listening to it on a lot better pair of headphones then 20 years ago and it sounds great. I had a couple more arcade fire albums then drifted away from them, this was still my favourite

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Mar 05 2024

I'm not a huge fan of hip hop but this was a fun listen, I knew the singles of course, magic number, eye know and my favourite me, myself and I but there were other fun tracks, especially 'this is a recording' The downsides were it was a bit too long, some of the filler tracks I wasn't a huge fan of but overall glad I listened to this

Electric by The Cult
Mar 11 2024

Very 80s rock sound, I quite enjoyed it though

25 by Adele
Mar 14 2024

I really liked 21 but 25 passed me by, I don't think I'd missed much, I found this very middle of the road with very little stand out songs apart from hello, perhaps it grows on you after a few listens but not the best for me
