Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

3/5

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

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

4/5

McCartney

Paul McCartney

1/5

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

4/5

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

Disraeli Gears

Cream

5/5

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

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

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

4/5

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.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

1/5

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

3/5

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

Cross

Justice

3/5

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

Fiona Apple

3/5

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.

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

5/5

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

4/5

System Of A Down

3/5

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.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

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.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

Eels

3/5

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

4/5

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

2/5

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

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

3/5

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

Fairport Convention

4/5

I was honestly surprised how much I liked this.

Licensed To Ill

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

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

Fleet Foxes

3/5

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

The Rolling Stones

4/5

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

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

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

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

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

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

3/5

There's nothing wrong with this album but this kind of music just leaves me absolutely cold. Utter dad rock.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

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

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

3/5

I know it's not cool, but I just don't care about John Lennon :shrug:.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

3/5

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

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

3/5

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

Metallica

3/5

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

R.E.M.

4/5

A classic.

Throwing Muses

5/5

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

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

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

4/5

Fun psych garage rock

I Should Coco

Supergrass

5/5

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

2/5

3/5

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

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

2/5

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

Liquid Swords

GZA

4/5

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

The Who

4/5

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

Black Sabbath

5/5

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*.

Boston
