Disintegration by The Cure

my favourite the cure album, it's perfect.

Perfectly fine indie album but nothing special. There are way better Liverpudlian indie albums to spend your time with, like the La's.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Feb 01 2024

It was totally fine but I have no idea why this would be in a best of album list. What am I missing?

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Feb 06 2024

Fine, it's a classic but not something I would particularly reach for

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Feb 09 2024

Not my favourite of their albums but can appreciate the vibes.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Feb 12 2024

Already knew I would like the whole album when I saw the first two tracks on the album, both big hits in my book. What's not to love with these weirdos.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 13 2024

Can appreciate this album for what it is. It's great even if I wouldn't tend to reach for it in the collection.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Feb 14 2024

It's a totally listenable album but when your dad is Fela Kuti you've got some big shoes to fill, and I found this album nothing special.

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Feb 16 2024

Like being on hold with your bank. Very pleasant easy listening jazz but dull as dishwater.

Cross by Justice
Feb 19 2024

It's got the hits and is a fun album but not sure why this would be on any best albums ever list. Generic dance music.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 20 2024

There's nothing wrong with it but just doesn't do anything for me. I'm not a fan of over emotional 90s singing and this feels a bit teenage for my tastes.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Feb 23 2024

I like SOAD but this album is nothing special. Definitely not top 1000 list for me. Don't even think it's their best album.

Feb 26 2024

I'm not the biggest jazz noodling fan but this album was pretty good. Could see sticking this on if I was in the right mood.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Mar 01 2024

It's a sweet album. She has a nice voice. It's inoffensive. But it doesn't necessarily make me feel anything. Which is ok if you're looking for atmosphere/background music.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Mar 04 2024

Can't put my finger on what I don't like about this album but yuk.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Mar 05 2024

Too much noodling on most of these songs. When the first track is over 10 minutes long for no reason i'm already rolling my eyes. No denying great musicians etc but boring album.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Mar 06 2024

I was honestly surprised how much I liked this.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 07 2024

I'm biased as i'm a huge BB fan.

90 by 808 State
Mar 08 2024

Not my favourite of the genre but that one single is great.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Mar 15 2024

Fela Kuti can do no wrong for me.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Mar 18 2024

I used to really like this album but it's so of a time for me that I can't get through it.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Mar 19 2024

It's a shame he sings on most of this album with an American accent. It puts me off a bit, but can't deny it's a good album.

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

Can't deny what Bob Marley did for popularising reggae but this album isn't my favourite

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Mar 22 2024

Can't deal. He has such a weaselly little voice. Thumbs down.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Mar 26 2024

I love David Bowie's older stuff and this was perfectly fine but kind of dull. Sorry :-(

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Mar 27 2024

perfectly fine as background music but nothing special for me.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Apr 08 2024

I like this album, it's a steady listen and definitely is on the stereo from time to time when i'm in the right lo-fi mood.

Disintegration by The Cure
Apr 09 2024

my favourite the cure album, it's perfect.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Apr 10 2024

Where are the song? This was just awful noodling, couldn't get through it. Yuk.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Apr 15 2024

It's fine but *shrugs shoulders*

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Apr 18 2024

Feels dated and a little passé. He's got a nice voice but meh.

Apr 19 2024

Perfectly fine indie album but nothing special. There are way better Liverpudlian indie albums to spend your time with, like the La's.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Apr 22 2024

I really love the guitar sound, but Hetfield's voice doesn't really do it for me - it's kind of one note the whole time.

Green by R.E.M.
Apr 23 2024

A classic.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Apr 24 2024

can't rate - no access to album on spotify

Being There by Wilco
Apr 25 2024

I like Wilco but this album is a bit of a snore fest

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
May 01 2024

Not as good as rituel but classic jane

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
May 02 2024

there's nothing wrong with the isley brothers but certainly don't think they're the best of their genre.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
May 06 2024

Love these boys, and this album will forever be associated with my mis-spent teens.

21 by Adele
May 07 2024

just can't do it. i know she's got a good voice but i can't bring myself to care....

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
May 08 2024

I can appreciate the technical prowess but it doesn't make me feel anything

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
May 10 2024

a whole album that sounds like the cast of monty python after smoking a serious amount of grass. don't get it.

Liquid Swords by GZA
May 13 2024

This is cute. It's got a nice chill groove and he's always had a great voice. Not sure how I never listened to this one before!

Who's Next by The Who
May 27 2024

Can't deny it's a good album but this album is a bit too dad rock for me. I prefer the earlier The Who vibes.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 28 2024

Wow. Colour me impressed. I always avoid Black Sabbath because I know the song Paranoid and it's totally fine but all the hype surrounding Ozzy Osbourne and his family kind of put me off. Cannot deny this album is an effin masterpiece. Not a "hard rock" album listener generally however this album is *chef's kiss*.
