Doesn't make sense to listen to in it's own. Was a movie score for a reason.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

If Bob tried with this girl as hard as he was mewing this album wouldn't exist. What a sacrifice.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Surf's Up

Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera

4/5

Some very solid head bangers. Other quite dull droning.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

1/5

No idea what he's singing about. There's obviously some sort of story but I lost interest halfway through each track. "Something is happening here but you don't know what it is" that's correct Mr Dylan I have absolutely no clue.

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

3/5

Jaunty is a word that comes to mind.

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

3/5

Short and sweet. Classic rock and roll sound.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

Mr Kite, what a guy. Amazing. We used to sing 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds' in Primary School. Interesting choice. The melodies in this album are magnificent.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

Mudhoney

3/5

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

Absolute staple of an album. I'd overlooked it.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

The songs are a bit samey but this is firmly from the era when albums were cohesive experiences from start to finish. Try not to get hyped during 'The Chain' or 'Dreams'.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

Feels like I'm there. Was probably a great evening. Nice PSA about not beating your wife I suppose.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

4/5

Very Beatles-esque that these all could have been sad and mellow songs but they're upbeat instead. It's like a celebration of the fact that they loved instead of thinking that it didn't go to plan.

Peter Gabriel

1/5

That was really bad. I can't comprehend how this can be considered one of the greatest albums. It's not musically profound in any way, just dreary and strange.

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

4/5

Very calming and unique

Transformer

Lou Reed

1/5

Country Life

Roxy Music

2/5

I rank these albums based on how kind blowing I find them. Or if I feel inclined to add them to my playlists. But I put this on in the background whilst doing housework and it was just good enough to not skip any tracks. I also again question it's inclusion given that none of the artist's top 5 on Spotify come from this album.

Calenture

The Triffids

2/5

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

Strange, sounded quite amateurish actually

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

2/5

Really nothing special or memorable

Revolver

Beatles

3/5

Eleanor Rigby and Yellow Submarine are brilliant. The the album seems to be observations of life, which makes it a bit dull by default.

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

2/5

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

2/5

Some alright tracks but overall not an amazing album

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

2/5

Not even the best Deep Purple album let alone generally

Oh yeah! Real good rock.

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

1/5

Sploinky and super strange

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

3/5

Definitely grew on me as the album went on. Maybe I had to get into the mood.

Tommy

The Who

1/5

Underwhelming. Pinball wizard is a really good track but the rest of the songs feel really under developed. Singer needs to sing in a lower octave it's v monotonous and forced.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

2/5

Just really unexciting

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

MJ da goat

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

DJ Shadow

1/5

Boring background music

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

1/5

Generally not a fan of Depeche Mode's sound

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

No doubts with this one. A great collection of covers and originals. Each one stripped back and brilliantly conveying the musical identity of Nirvana.

The Stone Roses

3/5

A bit generic

Queen II

Queen

4/5

I think Queen is a band where I'll only really be fond of their popular tracks. But this album is very fun

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

2/5

Cool sounds but I wouldn't really listen to it
