Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

Not a good as I remembered, with more weak tunes than their later albums.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

2/5

I liked the piano and brushed drums, but a lot of the trumpet just wasn't for me. Perhaps if I hung out jazz bars in the 50s....

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Good but uninspiring.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Some excellent Jazz beats.

Dirty

Sonic Youth

3/5

A good album, but I've always preferred Daydream Nation.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

2/5

Other than the obvious big hit, which clearly stand apart, the rest almost seems like filler.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

1/5

Just not for me, despite its historical significance. Just sounds like an old movie to me.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

I liked this much more than I thought I would. I think perhaps I've matured into the sound.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

1/5

More theatrical/musical than rock to me ear, and not really my kind of sound.

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

2/5

Bluesy hip-hop; on paper something I'd would like. But I just didn't get into this. Just seemed a bit lazily underwhelming to me.

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

3/5

A good example of the Trip-Hop / Broken-beat style with slightly more pop feel, though not favourite, it's ok background music.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

He might be legendary story teller, but the music itself just nothing for me. 🤷

Abraxas

Santana

1/5

No, just no! :-)

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

2/5

G-Funk was just never my thing. Gangsta rap, old-school hip-hop, etc are all much better.

Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

4/5

How have I not heard this album before; or even heard of this band? Enjoyed on first listen, and on second found it even more interesting.

NEU! 75

Neu!

5/5

Despite it's age this album still sounded remarkable fresh and modern to me. A great combination of Low-fi and Electronic!

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

I think I prefer Back to Black as a whole album, but this still v.good with exceptional vocals.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

5/5

A great concept album! Love the combination of sci-fi theme and funky beats and even occasional rock like tones.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

Almost seems the very definition of a classic folk album to me, against which almost every other the folk lyric is measured.

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

1/5

hmmm.... some kind of weird combination of sounding like sound track for Austin Powers and sickly kids easy-listen remix of an album. Not really thing at all.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

2/5

Yawn...

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Fuck Yeah! Every track is a bomb track! Genre defining.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

5/5

How would I describe this... psychedelic electro rock. Either way, I like it!

Garbage

5/5

Been quite a few years since I've last listen to this; strangely I found myself knowing most of the lyrics. A classic from my teenage years.
