Bombastic, theatrical, dramatic. Queen is just not for me.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

3/5

FFS, why do I have to start with jazz? Luckily, not too experimental. Okay background music, last track Vein Melter specifically.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

2/5

Bombastic, theatrical, dramatic. Queen is just not for me.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Ah, jazz from the 50's and female singers - nothing experimental about that, so I like this kind of jazz :)

Joan Armatrading

3/5

Suddenly, I am my mother.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

3/5

Easy listening, but once is enough, thank you.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Full of energy and good vibes

Hysteria

Def Leppard

1/5

Please, I can't... When is this app going to give me something that's not insufferable?

Diamond Life

Sade

2/5

It's okay, but I want to be done with the easy listening stuff.

The Velvet Underground

5/5

Intense, powerful stuff. It still sounds fresh and current.

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

3/5

Didn't know this band so nice find. Good music.

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Yessss, I was feeling like R.E.M. today. Didn't really know their earlier work.

1999

Prince

3/5

I like Prince, but 1999 was not my thing.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Dusty's voice is so distinctive, and so is her music. Nice album.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

Not my cup of pale ale, thanks

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

This was better than I had expected, musically and lyrically

Tracy Chapman

4/5

Powerful work, musically and lyrically. And what a voice!

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

2/5

Not a big fan of this earlier work, but then again: not a fan of his recent behaviour either. Let's see how his redemption shot works out.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Nice vibe and you can feel the immense skill Basie has in each and every song.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

He's the boss for a reason. No one makes "stadium rock" like Bruce.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

3/5

The music is good, the lyrics flow, but the skits are bad. The album is just too long and Puff Daddy's presence is a drag...

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

3/5

Obviously a great musician, but not my vibe

The Next Day

David Bowie

2/5

I think Bowie has albums that are a lot better and I also refuse to believe that this deserves to be in a list with the best 1001 albums...

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

Who would've thought that Malinese blues music would be my thing?

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Abraxas

Santana

3/5

Great guitarist, but not my style.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

So poignant and intimate. I don't understand how this wasn't a success when he was still alive, but I'm glad we now appreciate him and his work.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

4/5

I didn't know Traffic, so this was actually a really good find.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

3/5

I absolutely recognise Missy's skill, but this is just not my vibe

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

2/5

This is not for me

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

3/5

I had never heard of them, and it was pretty good for a first listen.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

2/5

I used to like this album 5 years ago, but I guess that was just my millennial angst...

Moondance

Van Morrison

2/5

Easy listening, but too easy. Not my flow.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

2/5

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

4/5

Never realised that I would really like King Crimson if only I would sit down and really listen.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Carole King's craft as a songwriter is pretty unique

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

Al Green

4/5

Dire Straits

4/5

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

4/5

This was actually really good, fresh and current.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

Not the best Cure album, but The Cure are always good!

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

I seem to only like her slower songs

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

2/5

look, they are great musicians and the songs are well composed, but this is not my stuff

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

soulful

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

4/5

We often see longevity in artists, but their relevance is arguable most of the time. Billy has been relevant for 40 years. Great album!

Bad

Michael Jackson

1/5

Sorry, I can't do MJ.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

I just don't like electronic music

1984

Couldn't even sit through the entire album. Guess it's one of those "you should've been there" experiences

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers
