Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

Too similar to The Beatles to be overly exciting. The times he goes in different directions are great though!

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

Great music, not a huge fan of the vocals

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

Excellent! Really surprised I liked this one as much as I did. Which figures, since I was 16 when it was released. Lots of familiar tracks. Very good.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

2/5

Not a big fan of the big bands. The first song is very good though!

Garbage

2/5

Not a big fan. Seems formulaic, almost Nirvana with a female lead and worse lyrics. It greatly picks up in the middle (Vow and Stupid Girl), but then dives off again.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

2/5

Not for me, but would make for some good background music!

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

4/5

Excellent!! Great music, although a couple of songs lose a bit of pace.

Tommy

The Who

5/5

Great! Love concept albums

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

3/5

Decent! Not really my thing, but it's good stuff

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax

4/5

Great chill out album!

Ingenue

k.d. lang

4/5

Good stuff! I liked this album way more than I thought I would

Rio

Duran Duran

5/5

It's easy to discount Duran Duran as another 80s band, but the fearlessness they showed was something else. Excellent 👍

Palo Congo

Sabu

5/5

So so different. Excellent rhythms. I don't even know how I can classify this album.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

5/5

Absolutely excellent. I will never not give Kate Bush anything less than 5 stars. While The Sensual World isn't Kate Bush's best or, dare I say, flawless (see The Dreaming or Hounds of Love), it does have my favourite KB song; Never for Ever.

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

Great! It's Rush, nothing more needs to be said.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

Achtung Baby

4/5

Classic U2.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

I never knew I liked early 90s hip hop till today. Great!

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Not a huge fan of The Boss. 2 stars only because Born In The USA is very catchy.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

2/5

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

3/5

Great music, interesting. Let down by the lyrics in my opinion. I typically find interest in lyrics about experiences I haven't had, but I thought the ones here weren't interesting at all.

Van Halen

1/5

Obviously talented musicians, but feels like music with no inspiration. Absolutely not my thing

Roxy Music

4/5

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

5/5

I don't know whether I love this album or hate it. Therefore, 5 stars.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Murmur

R.E.M.

5/5

R.E.M.'s near perfect debut album still stands the test of time to this day. Masterpiece. I wouldn't be where I am without this band, and I for sure wouldn't be as big of a music fan.

The Specials

3/5

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

Great stuff!

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

2/5

Not really my thing.

Teen Dream

Beach House

2/5

I mean it's a nice listen and everything, but nothing special.

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

3/5

Takes me back to being 13. Could do with being 20 minutes shorter and a few tracks less. But good.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

3/5

By far the weirdest album so far! Avant garde at it's strangest. If it were 20 minutes I would have given 4 stars, but it just went on a little too long.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

I thought this album was absolutely fantastic. I've been awake of ELO for tears but have always been ignorant of their output. Wow. Was I wrong. I actually thought Mr. Blue Sky was a Wings song. Either way, excellent.

Electric

The Cult

2/5

Never has a band from Bradford sounded more like they're from California. While it's fun, I'm not sure it has a place on this list.

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

4/5

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

Excellent! The Smiths never made a bad song.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Boy In Da Corner

Dizzee Rascal

2/5

Good music, not a fan of the lyrics

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

5/5

Absolutely excellent! Like progressive hip hop

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

4/5

7/10

Signing Off

UB40

3/5

While enjoyable, this album was 20 minutes too long and too repetitive. 6/10

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Great music, spoiled as always by Anthony Kiedis lyrics and vocals. It also goes on for 20 minutes too long. 5/10

Eagles

1/5

Absolutely terrible. The Dude was correct.

Bad Company

3/5

Interesting supergroup of relatively unknown musicians. Sounded good! 6/10

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

Double albums that aren't 'conceptc albums always fall foul of being just too damn long. While Mellon Collie is incredibly enjoyable, it isn't enjoyable for 2 hours. 6.5/10

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

2/5

Some good stuff, however there's an overall feeling of 'meh' that runs throughout.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

4/5

Excellent!

Californication
