Dark, Gruesome, intense. As far as debut albums go, nothing comes close.

New Wave

The Auteurs

2/5

Neo-Glam gone wrong, not fit to lace Bolans shoes 2.5 at best

Pelican West

Haircut 100

1/5

You cant make it in a top 1001 albums of all time with a band name like that, simply not on

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

Motowns finest

Queen II

Queen

2/5

Singles band - bang average album

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Era defining band, vietnamese war music personified 3.5 / 5

Out of Step

Minor Threat

3/5

If CM Punk was a band this would be it

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Suspiciously sound really like hair blair bunch...

Van Halen

3/5

The dutch know what they are doing The kinks cover was a special touch 3.5 / 5

Imagine

John Lennon

5/5

First 5 of the campaign A masterpiece in it's own right Does leave me slightly worried what would be today's answer if war was to break out, no doubt Coldplay or Taylor swift would be all over it.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

Had a gorgeous set of pipes on him, god rest his soul Knew how handle his guitar aswell, the riff on dream brother is sublime Could have told me that Jeff Buckley was a championship winger in the 2010s, who's now seeing out his career in the A league with Perth Glory this morning, and I would of believed it 3.5 / 5

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Thank you Polly Jean - we all know Cave is at his best when he is grieving and his raw emotions are on display It's an album I surprisingly very rarely revisit in Caves Arsenal but most certainly one of his most influential records to date 4.5 / 5

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

3/5

Feel like this albums gone under the radar - some great tracks, but in a nutshell you take one look at that album cover and band name and instantly skip Maybe these were the inspiration behind esteemed British Rapper Afghan Dan...

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

2/5

Is this the soundtrack to better call saul... Every song fits perfectly into a scene where Jimmy and Kim are mustering up a devious plan to destroy Howard 2.5 / 5

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Prime metallica - pure aggression start to finish 4.5 / 5

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

The baby beatles Jeff Lynne is an absolute genius, would've loved to have been a fly on the wall inside the chalet deep in the swiss alps for them 3 and a half intesne weeks, watching this masterpiece unfold 4.5 / 5

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Superb record, as expected when Johnny Marr is somewhat involved 3.5 / 5

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

1/5

There is certainly a feel of an American bias in this list, I bet some corkers have missed the cut in place of shite like this

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Bet the instrumentals on the 2nd song still haunt OJ Simpson to this day. Sensational record, even if it is just a bunch of unused material mixed together.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Gü Side A and B are faultless Side C and D slightly bring it down on the whole 4/5

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

4/5

They don't make them like Tina anymore that's for sure, the queen of rock and roll.

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

3/5

What an era the 60s was Feels like a classic folk album then takes an eerie turn into psychadellia with "magic hallow" & "the wolf of velvet fortune" 3.5 / 5

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

4/5

Pioneers for the 60s psychadellic scene Exquisite record 4/5

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

3/5

Without the Beastie Boys, there's no Slim Shady, RATM, Limp Bizkit

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

Think the 19 year old mistress may of had a big part to play in that one Muddy...

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

Underrated band, can hear the Dylan influence in the frontmans vocals and the instrumental solos are magnificent

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

2/5

Sounds like music you'd hear in a lift, not terrible but very forgettable

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

2/5

T'was alright, slightly bland, doubt I'd return at any stage Andy's babies was a great track mind you 2.5 / 5

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Pure rock n roll, this is prime Jagger and Richards partnership, possibly there greatest ever work 5/5

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

Game changer. Revolutionary. Simply staggering. Harrisons sitar solos are mesmerising

Blur

4/5

Big fan of blur but do favour a couple of their other albums to this one Still a brilliant record nonetheless, masterminded in the secluded corners of Reykjavik

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

2/5

Too Jazzy? 2.5 / 5

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

Seem to be giving a lot of 5s out recently but that's the nature of the beast I can't not give this masterpiece full marks, most certainly goes down as one of my favourite ever records Atmospheric eerie vocals, gothic instrumentals, probably top of my hitlist to see live

All Directions

The Temptations

4/5

Funky

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

Proper end of season montage music

Goo

Sonic Youth

4/5

Incredible hooks, punk meets grunge Swear every American woman in a late 80s / early 90s rock band is called Kim, great vocalist gives some of the tracks an edge

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

This is Cave at his Lyrical peak in my opinion. Song of Joy, Stagger Lee, Crow Jane, O'Malleys bar. Storytelling at its absolute finest.

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

3/5

Easy listen, enjoyed his blues tracks 3.5 / 5

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

OH MY GOD IT'S STING! STINGERS HERE THE VIGILANTE

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

4/5

Way ahead of it's time, David Byrne and Brian Eno are simply exceptional Favourite track is overload, it has that dark and hypnotic Ian Curtis feel with it, almost impossible to believe they recorded this without listening to JD before I feel I could be doing an ELO - Out of the Blue all over again and I may regret not going full marks 4.5 / 5

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

2/5

She is the absolute spitting image of Shirley from Eastenders, if the American's ever do a remake, I vote her

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

1/5

Stick to the weather

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

1/5

I can see where they got the band name from with that first song Would probably rather watch a tortoise race than listen to this album again...

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

An absolute classic, old skwl rap at its best Of course reading through the comments some people are offended by the lyrics, bore off

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Finners Tench in his element

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

3/5

Pleasantly surprised, get glimpses of early Radiohead, quite enjoyed Would make a great darts name aswell Grant "The Buffalo" Lee 3.5 / 5

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

3/5

The modfathers side project, never appreciated Style Council enough but this album is great, has a European esque to it with a couple of twists 3.5 / 5

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

You're in the jungle baby You're gonna dieeee

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Smooth vocalist, lovely slice of the Chicago jazz scene on display

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

4/5

Raw, Energetic, Ferocious, everything a rap record should be
