Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jan 24 2024

Interesting, a bit too funky for my listening and not sure when I'd actively listen to it again.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jan 25 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed this, was a nice short ride. But every song had heart to it.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jan 26 2024

interesting album, very strong start, it got me absolutely pumped. But it dropped off a bit and all kind of became a blur. Felt like a lot of (very good) singles rather than a solid album.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jan 29 2024

Makes me wish I was sitting in a cocktail bar dancing with strangers and just having a great time. She has an incredible voice, The album has that old hiss underlying all the songs which is quite magic tbh. Very of an era, and maybe not something I'd listen to when driving or anything, but it's a beautiful, slow, Sunday afternoon album

Play by Moby
Jan 30 2024

Track to sounded like Voodoo child. Already knew Porcelain. To be honest, incredibly impressed so far and can't believe I've not listened to this album before. Didn't overly enjoy south side... Really liked the feel of the final track, was a really nice end to the album. Overall a lot of very good tracks but a few that I found a bit boring.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jan 31 2024

I think a pretty weak start for the album tbh. Track 2 is instantly better than track 1. Antichrist television blues was a really enjoyable song. Possibly my favourite on the album. Really picked up towards the end of this album and I really started enjoying it, but not a strong start for me.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Feb 01 2024

Wow. INcredible album. A lot of completely unexpected but joyous fun moments. Really enjoyed this one.

John Prine by John Prine
Feb 02 2024

yeah, so better than I thought. Some fun/clever lyrics and overall a pretty positive experience. Maybe a bit samey throughout but it was enjoyable!

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 06 2024

Pretty good album. Land Ho! was stand out for me but the whole album was an easy listen with some interesting songs. Really enjoyed it!

Tommy by The Who
Feb 07 2024

Not bad, got a bit boring tbh

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Feb 08 2024

Some incredible songs here and some lyrics felt way ahead of it's time. Gave me some comforting wintery vibes on a lot of tracks.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Feb 09 2024

Yeah it was okay, track 3 was great, reminded me of Nic Jones.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Feb 12 2024

This was an interesting listen. very samey throughout but kind of enjoyable. Obviously an incredible start. Kinda wished the album was over at track 7 though to be fair. Though the choir vocals on track 8 were great.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 13 2024

Pretty darn good!

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Feb 14 2024

Not a bad album, Elvis Presley Blues was the stand out track for me. Very mellow, would be interested listening to it with headphones on staring out the window on a rainy day.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Feb 16 2024

Very fun album and really quite enjoyable tbh. Some stand out hits on it. You can hear the Prince influence through a lot of it. My favourite song was Dear Jessie! Like a prayer is still a masterpiece even now.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Feb 21 2024

Extremely dull. I have zero desire to ever listen to this album again.

The White Room by The KLF
Feb 22 2024

very of an era, but not too shabby!

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Feb 23 2024

not bad

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Feb 26 2024

Really fun album. Very impressed. Something weirdly modern about it as well.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Feb 27 2024

Very samey, and very 90's matrix. Got a bit bored half way through, Though the classics on this are still absolute bangers tbf

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 29 2024

Some absolute crackers on this (mainly She's losing it) a sad lonely sunday morning album

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Mar 05 2024

Nothing much to say here. Was an alright album. Didn't blow me away though.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Mar 06 2024

Enjoyed this. Some Dead kennedy vibes. Human Cannonball and The O-Man were stand out tracks for me. Second half of the album was way better than the start.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Mar 08 2024

Amazing album, from start to finish. Emerald is a fantastic song as is Dancing in the moonlight. Also a big fan of the ending of Rosalie. There's something about the overall sound in this album that I really enjoy. Fantastic live album and was very happy to see it on the list!

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 11 2024

This was a decent/fun listen. Also quite fascinating as he's a super interesting dude! Will hopefully check out more of his albums.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Mar 14 2024

heard on a rope before but no others. was a fairly decent album, but nothing mind blowing.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Mar 15 2024

Wasn't a huge fan of this unfortunately.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Mar 18 2024

Some cracking songs, definitely improved my opinion of the beatles!

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Mar 20 2024

Extremely good album. Very easy listening but also very complex at the same time. loved it.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Mar 21 2024

Yeah this was pretty good. Not sure it really hit me that hard. Track 5 was my favourite.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Mar 22 2024

Track 3 was amazing. Very punky vibes. Overall really enjoyed this album and ended up listening to it a few times. Shocked I'd not heard of them before

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Mar 25 2024

started off really interested, but by track 3 this just became background noise for me.

In Utero by Nirvana
Mar 26 2024

Meh, hate his voice.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Mar 27 2024

okay, so this was really good. Especially once I started deep diving into 'Videotape'. This was a really good album. Listened a few times already!

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 28 2024

like some average supermarket background music

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Apr 01 2024

Great album, some songs were a bit long, but overall really good.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Apr 03 2024

This was really good. Quite a unique sound. never listened to much leonard Cohen for some reason. Will dive into more!

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Apr 04 2024

This was super interesting and like nothing I'd really listened to before. Felt almost mesmerising/trance like at times! Really enjoyed it!

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 05 2024

Didn't really do too much for me

Melodrama by Lorde
Apr 08 2024

Enjoyed a few songs on this and it took me by surprise to be honest. I quite enjoyed the synth wave undertones on some of the tracks.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Apr 10 2024

yeah it was okay. Bot boring.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Apr 11 2024

Latter half of the album was good. I dunno though, it didn't hit me too hard. I think a 2/5 for me!

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Apr 12 2024
Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Apr 16 2024

Not my favourite Zeppelin album but absolutely banging all the same

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Apr 18 2024

Really enjoyed this. Took me back to THPS days weirdly. Not something I'd usually listen to, but it was super cool. Really good album Some really great lyrics and they are very playful with words.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Apr 23 2024

This was a bit uninspired for me tbh. Was hoping to like it a bit more than I did!

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Apr 26 2024

Great riffs, but some of the most repetitive songs I've ever heard. They went on far too long

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
May 01 2024

Really enjoyed this, snappy, short, and a whole lotta fun. Can only imagine it would have been absolutely wild being at that show!

The Yes Album by Yes
May 02 2024

Couldn't really get into this to be honest. Felt like a chore.

S&M by Metallica
May 03 2024
Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 06 2024

Solid album, but missing a little oomph

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
May 15 2024

so many screams.

May 16 2024

Quite enjoyed this tbf, some bits I sort of recognised, but overall something nice to work to on a sunny day!

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
May 17 2024

First few songs were okay, then I got a bit bored tbh

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
May 22 2024

Track 7 had me hoping the album had finished. Track 1 was great though.

Music by Madonna
May 29 2024
Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
May 30 2024

Thought this was really good, very dreamy. It did stretch it out over the course of a day though. Would have been hard to do in a oner

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
May 31 2024

What an album. I already knew the classics on this album (though i didn't realise they were all from the same album) But the covers were amazing on this, and the whole album was pieced together extremely well. An absolute delight to listen to. A lot of fun with some hard hitting emotion thrown in at the end. One of my favourites so far on the list.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jun 04 2024

I thought this was a bit vocally stale to be honest. The bass absolutely slaps though.

1984 by Van Halen
Jun 07 2024
Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jun 10 2024
The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jun 11 2024

This was way more interesting than I thought and my pre conceptions of this album were that it sounded like Oasis, I was very wrong. Enjoyable!

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 19 2024

Decent covers by WIllie here!

The Predator by Ice Cube
Jun 27 2024

This was alright, but extremely repetitive, really reminded me of the early skating days!

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Jul 10 2024

Pretty annoying to listen to to be honest.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jul 12 2024

Yeah it's pretty good, good fun. But probably wouldn't keep listening too it over and over.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jul 15 2024

Love this album, track 3-7 are incredible!

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jul 17 2024

A bit samey for me. Not great.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 31 2024

Really quite enjoyed this tbh. Gave me Sufjan vibes. Track 1 was the stand out

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Aug 06 2024

Great album! Can't go too wrong with Deep Purple tbh
