T. Rex

4/5

Wall to wall catchy

Cross

Justice

5/5

More of a 4.5 I love this albums it’s something listen to a lot. The aggressive synths / metal style production does it for me. The more vocal driven tracks on this album I find less enjoyable. One of my top alums of all time.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

I don’t listen to / know much about jazz but this was a very nice listen.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Upbeat throughout as you’d expect from a classic soul album. I’m sure this was one of the forerunners in the genre but I can’t help think it all just blends into one.

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

4/5

Love this, can’t recall ever hearing about this band so it was a nice to listen to something totally new to me. Beautiful vocals and instrumentation and a nice mix of rock / psyc and folk. Bit mamas and papas / Jefferson airplane. Going to give it round 2 on the way home!

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

3/5

Pounding

Abbey Road

Beatles

4/5

It’s not my favourite Beatles album but there’s some amazing songs on there. Maxwells silver hammer can get to france

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Again some great songs but as an album it’s got room to grow on me

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

3/5

Catchy pissy lyrics

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

3/5

Loved the guitars / percussion on this

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

2/5

It’s an Interesting album historically but fuck is it hard to listen to at points. I do like how experimental it was for the time and I enjoy some of the hypnotic post punk rhythms but at times it sounds like four people jamming to completely different songs.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

2/5

I really wanted to like this. On the whole this was a bit too twee for my taste. I enjoyed it more when it veered into a more cosmic rock direction. It’s worth getting to the end for Time of the season as it’s an amazing track that stands out from the rest of the album.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

You know it’s the nineties when they tell you in every song.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Stonker

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

A couple of stand out tunes but gets a bit boring

The Everly Brothers

4/5

Lots of great songs nice harmonies especially

Django Django

4/5

Love this album. Really dancy and interesting production

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

This takes me back to when i was 17 and would listen to this album on repeat. So many great songs on one record.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

Liked this a lot.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

2/5

Some nice guitar / bass parts but this is as far away from my cup of tea without being totally unpleasant.

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

3/5

Takes a few songs to get into the weird production style but feels pretty unique and trippy

I Against I

Bad Brains

3/5

I’m curious enough to give this another listen. I enjoyed the chuggy guitars

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

FFS Didn’t expect to cry 3 times on the way to work. Hurt is one of those songs that bring me instantly to tears every time I hear it. That and personal Jesus are some of the best covers out there. I was skeptical about “In my life” and what he could add to such a perfect song. Again, tears! I didn’t really need to hear another version of Danny boy but fucking hell that destroyed me. There are a few other covers that don’t hit the mark for me and feel a little on the nose.

Dire Straits

4/5

Sultans of swing

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

2/5

It’s interesting but would take a good few listens to get into

Quiet Life

Japan

2/5

Snoozefest but interesting to hear the transition from 70’s new wave into 80’s synth pop

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Love Joni Mitchell. I’ve not heard this album before. Lovely stuff

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

Way better than I was expecting. Very fun

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

Each song sounded like every other offspring song I’ve ever heard. Good energy for a Monday morning though

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

2/5

Pretty forgettable songs apart from the Dylan stuff but it sounds great! One to revisit

The Blueprint

JAY Z

3/5

Decent!

Phrenology

The Roots

3/5

Nice. I really like the live / raw feel to the production

Common

3/5

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

2/5

Quite catchy at points. Bit of Dylan mixed with Zeppelin even the cure. The last song “American Girl” has an indie rock feel to it. Definitely the stand out track for me

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

1/5

I was looking forward to this when it came up but I really hated it. Sounds so of the time in the worst possible way. Moody boring. Could possibly sound good when high on mushrooms but I’m not willing to take that risk.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

5/5

The absolute GOAT. Some of the more vocal songs are a bit of an acquired taste but this album is beautiful. Lots of nods to his more ambient stuff. “The Big Ship” is one of my all time favourites.

Truth

Jeff Beck

4/5

Some tasty guitar on this. Decent rock album

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

Nobody actually talks like that.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Some great tracks on this but didn’t find it as good as some of their other records.

Garbage

3/5

Instantly recognisable. Love the guitar drones / moody riffs Sounds very of its time with the electronic sounding drums and production style but it’s a banger

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

Very pleasant. I don’t feel qualified to comment more than that on a jazz album

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

2/5

Not the sort of thing I’d usually listen to. Bit deeper than your standard country album, I liked some of the more upbeat tracks.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

2/5

Pretty interesting / bizarre album. Some of it sounded like overly produced Britpop.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Incredible, such a unique and powerful voice!

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

Lot of fun this!

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

2/5

Not inspired to listen to this one again. Petty samey but the production was quite nice.

Dry

PJ Harvey

3/5

Some bangers on this album but I struggle with her vocal style, it gets a bit grating after a while and I start to crave something a bit more melodic. Would give another go though as it was really nice instrumentally.

Pelican West

Haircut 100

4/5

This was a really nice surprise. Love the new wave / white boy funk crossover. Very fun from start to finish!

Steely Dan

4/5

Absolute classic

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

Not sure what I was expecting but this was pretty nice to listen to. Not massively countrified which is a plus

Marquee Moon

Television

3/5

Grateful Dead

1/5

So overwhelmingly boring

Very weird will listen again

There’s only one Bob Dylan. Some amazing songs on this album

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

2/5

Ruddy Hell

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

I remember liking a few songs at the time (can’t believe it was 2008) still think there are a few solid songs. Nice concept for a side project and the morricone style is fun!

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

4/5

Oh no, I think I like Jazz. Lovely singable Melodies throughout!

The Stone Roses

5/5

Pretty much perfection. Every song is excellent!

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Nice instrumentation but the solos were a bit long and boring

Microshift

Hookworms

2/5

All the ingredients were right for this but it just went nowhere. Infuriatingly droney and boring.

Roots

Sepultura

4/5

Inwish I found this when I was a teenager. Really interesting theme for a metal album and it smashes!
