Meh

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Enjoyable listen. They have an original sound. 3/5

Out of Step

Minor Threat

4/5

Electrifying music - the sort of stuff which gets Trev Tench out of his seat.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Chemical Brothers at their best. 3.5/5

Van Halen

2/5

Very meh. Not my cup of tea

Imagine

One of the greats - some of his finest work on this album.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

4/5

Can’t believe I’ve never listened to it before. THIS IS MUSIC. 4/5

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

He’s a harrowing bloke Nick Cave but boy can he make some fantastic music. In love, in love, in love you laugh. In love you move, I move And one more time with feeling 4/5

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

2/5

Instrumentals are fairly good but that front man is a tosser. Rather listen to afghan dan. 2/5

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

3/5

Long live jazz.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

Prime Metallica. Music to batter someone’s nan to. 3.5/5

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

A truly historic album and way ahead of its time. It has the stamp of approval from sir Eric Worsley so that is enough for me. Narrowly misses out on a 5. 4.5/5

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Very enjoyable.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

The best singing voice of all time? Fantastic album - the title track sends shivers down my spine. 4/5

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

A really well put together album which is something chilli peppers generally struggle to do. A certain ginger man has it tattooed on his arm so that certifies it’s CLASSIC status. 4/5

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

3/5

Enjoyable

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

3/5

Singer sounds a lot like Lou Reed but the band are no where near the level of velvet underground. Not bad at all. 3/5

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

If you have a conversation about the 60s then the Zombies have to be involved. Great album and all flows together well. 3.5/5

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

Ferocious from start to finish. Star of the album was the sounds of science - can’t say I’ve heard a song quite like that before. Trev Tench went to see them play a Co headline show with Run DMC at Brixton when he was younger. 4/5

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

3/5

First time I’ve listened to one of their albums and it won’t be the last. Full album synced together nicely. Standouts were and ocean in between the waves and disappearing. 3.5/5

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

2/5

Not terrible but not my thing. Can imagine some great albums have missed out for ones like this - shocking. 2/5

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Only exile tops this in terms of stones albums. One of the greatest to ever do it. 4.5/5

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

An absolute masterpiece. The Beatles at their creative best - what an album. 4.5/5

Blur

3/5

Can’t say blur have ever really clicked with me - maybe I’ve not give them enough of a go. Obviously some big tunes on this album and did enjoy it overall. 3.5/5

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

A true pioneer of the jazz scene. Enjoyed it from start to finish so will be delving through his other stuff. 3.5/5

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

An absolute piece of art. One of the greatest bands to every do it and this is their finest work. Probably the band I’d most like to see live out of everyone - being in the presence of Robert smith would be some experience. 5/5

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

Proper feel good music. Papa was a rollin stone an obvious favourite on there - great example of how to build up a song. 3/5

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

Pleasant enough but how can I, as a man, ever sit there and listen to music like this. 2.5/5

Goo

Sonic Youth

3/5

Raw punk. A great era of music for sure - can imagine seeing bands like this live would have been some experience. 3.5/5

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

One of the best albums we’ve had so far. Nick cave lyrically at his peak and probably his best album - no surprise given the involvement of PJ Harvey and Shane Macgowan. 5/5

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

3/5

Not heard of the bloke before but it was a pleasant surprise. Good songwriting and melodies throughout. 3/5

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

2/5

Just don’t do it for me the police. 2/5

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

Probably the best album on this list so far. One of the most influential bands ever and this is their crowning piece. Simply majestic. 5/5

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

1/5

Struggling to picture the type of person who would listen to stuff like this. An absolute no from me. 1/5

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

1/5

How on earth has this album been included in the top 1000? Dross. 1/5

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Gives me mad men vibes. Finlay Tench’s favourite artist so he’s a goat for that alone. 3/5
