Amy Winehouse
4/5
Opening song is STRONG. I've known of Amy Winehouse since she first released music but never listened to any full albums.
Fuck Me Pumps has a really good groove, had me doing the head bop I always do when I'm really into a song.
Overall a very nice album to listen to.
Björk
2/5
Not my type of music.
Does have a calming feel to it, but in a way that makes me want to fall asleep, rather than pay attention to the music.
Play Dead is the most recognisable song and the only one I really enjoyed.
I wouldn't listen to this album again.
Johnny Cash
3/5
This seems like a classic album. I do like Johnny Cash, although I haven't heard this album. Showcases his talent for live performance.
I know a few of the songs already and it's good to hear them live.
Jurassic 5
3/5
I was a bit hesistant when I realised this was hip hop/rap but the first couple of songs are really good.
The Kinks
4/5
Very 60s!
I know some Kinks songs but not these ones. I like them though.
Standout songs - Starstruck and Wicked Annabella.
Peter Gabriel
3/5
Sledgehammer is a favourite of mine that I've heard many times. I've never heard this full album however.
Most of the album is quite serious compared to Sledgehammer.
Lots of similarities between Gabriel and Phil Collins. It's easy to see why they were in Genesis together.
A good album overall.
Radiohead
2/5
Never been too sure about Radiohead. I think of it as kind of background music rather than something I would sit and really concentrate on.
Pretty sure I've heard Knives Out before.
Not a favourite. I won't listen to it again.
Waylon Jennings
2/5
Never really listened to country music enough to go beyond people like Johnny Cash or Dolly Parton. I'm not too sure about this album. There are no songs that I would go back and seek out to listen to.
Led Zeppelin
3/5
A good album, especially immigrant song.
Would consider this a classic album, as Led Zeppelin is one of the long lasting and classic bands out there.
Neil Young
3/5
Never heard Neil Young before, this was a decent album. I don’t know if I would listen to it again but it was listenable and enjoyable.
Christine and the Queens
4/5
Very 80s inspired, I like it a lot.
Only listening to the English version as that’s my main language.
I’d never heard of this artist but I’m glad that I’ve had the opportunity to listen to their music.
Kind of reminds me of LP.
Electric Light Orchestra
4/5
A good album, I was already familiar with Mr Blue Sky, and the rest of the songs on this album were on par.
I listened to this album while cleaning and it made good background music to work to.
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
3/5
I recognised a few of these songs. This is what I would call the classic 50s rock and roll sound.
There is no doubt that Buddy Holly had huge influence on a number of artists that came after him. His death also made it so that his music was heard more, as sad as that is.
Overall a very pleasant album that reflects its time period perfectly.
Metallica
3/5
This was a looooong album which I had to listen to whilst doing other things to get through the whole 2 hours.
The orchestra sounded really good and mixed well into the music.
Pavement
2/5
Didn’t really enjoy this album, it’s not the kind of music I would listen to now or back in the nineties when it was first released.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
A very working man’s album. I do like some Springsteen songs but not a lot of these really hit with me. 3/5
Supertramp
3/5
Sound is all over the place. Possibly my earphones to blame?
An interesting album, I quite like it but I feel that it would need a few listens to really get “into” it.
Kacey Musgraves
4/5
It’s giving Taylor Swift in her country era.
I actually enjoyed this album more than most that I’ve listened to since beginning this journey.
The Electric Prunes
3/5
I honestly thought that a band called The Electric Prunes would be weird and wacky.
There was a bit of that, but then there were a few actual decent songs. I listened with bemusement and was entertained.
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
Smooth grooves. Funky grooves. Brass and bongos and percussion oh my!
Earth, Wind & Fire are always a win.
Gene Clark
2/5
Very calming. Quite forgettable though.
Fugees
5/5
I owned this album when it came out. It’s by far one of the best hip hop albums of the nineties in my opinion.
A great listen for memories.
Pixies
3/5
I was surprised to see this album was released in 1988 as I always thought Pixies was a 90’s band. Where is my Mind? is a song I’ve heard before and really thought it was a typical 90’s song.
Learning something new every day!
ABBA
2/5
Some good songs but overall not as enjoyable as some of their earlier songs.
Jorge Ben Jor
3/5
I enjoyed listening to this because it was totally outside of anything I would have considered listening to.
Arcade Fire
3/5
A good album for its time. Very similar to all the other bands doing the same sort of thing around that period though.

5/5
Still full of awesome early noughties hits. I owned this album and played it regularly.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3/5
Was ok. Not something I would seek out again.
Leftfield
2/5
1/5
Terrible. Songs were too long, too instrumental, just not enjoyable for me.
D'Angelo
3/5
I enjoyed this album, it’s more my taste now than in the mid nineties when it was released.
Suede
3/5
Not a bad album at all, however I prefer ‘Coming Up’ from them. Probably because it has more of the well known songs on it. Some of the songs on this album were a bit too long for me.
Fleet Foxes
4/5
A nice album. I already knew White Winter Hymnal but only because Pentatonix covered it.
50 Cent
3/5
Already knew some of these songs, it was a decent album but I don’t know if I would listen to it again.
Gorillaz
5/5
A really good album that I didn’t take notice of when it first came out. One of the more enjoyable albums I’ve had so far.
