Dire Straits

4/5

Nice chilled album for a Sunday morning.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Gone too soon. Classic.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

1/5

I listened to this and imagined someone like Amy Winehouse singing it instead. Now that would have been a great album. Too many of these old timers put no emotion into their music, this is flat and sleep inducing.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

3/5

Cool album.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

2/5

Generic WBR for a bar in a standard city centre on a Friday night sometime in the 2005-2010 period. Just background noise.

Marquee Moon

Television

2/5

Fairly decent.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Two absolute classics in amongst some typical 80’s fare.

Close To You

Carpenters

2/5

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

5/5

All time classic.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

This is music heritage.

Berlin

Lou Reed

1/5

Music to jump out of a window to.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

2/5

Irish drinking music.

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

1/5

I tried, this was sleep inducing.

The World is a Ghetto

War

5/5

Musical perfection.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

Better than I expected.

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

1/5

Abysmal. Absolutely dire. How anyone can seriously rate this highly is astonishing to me. Depression on wax.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

3/5

Sweet, airy, relaxing jazz. Definitely one to replay regularly and has also put me on a deep dive into both artists.

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

3/5

Mix of styles. Not bad.

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

Hip hop pioneers deliver the goods.

The Clash

3/5

Not my kinda music, but I respect it. Actually really good album.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Good but not outstanding.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

2/5

Ok.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

2/5

Yeah this is ok. I can see why people would dig it.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

4/5

Phenomenal work.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

2/5

A product of its time. Nice but unremarkable, with the title track being the highlight.

Nevermind

Nirvana

3/5

Umm… never mind.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

2/5

Better than I expected.

Aja

Steely Dan

2/5

Two stars for being the source of that De La Soul sample.

The Man Who

Travis

1/5

Music like this is so depressing, almost an aide to suicide.

2/5

2.5 actually, pretty good. Not available on Apple Music though.

2/5

2.5. Original stuff.

B-52's

Finally, a quality album to listen to.

Not my cup of tea, but better than expected. 2.5.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

Ok.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

5/5

Hip hop and rap heritage. Sounds as fresh now as back in 1990.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

1/5

1001 albums, and they’ve managed to choose some of the most dire, uninspired trash ever recorded in large parts it seems.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

2/5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

2/5

Electric Ladyland

Bland.

Boy In Da Corner

Dizzee Rascal

3/5

3.5 Solid game changing album.

The United States Of America

1/5

I’ve listened to some bad albums on this generator, but this is the absolute pits. A steaming pile of horse poop that stinks worse than a skunk convention on a hot day. Even worse are the clowns telling everyone how great this is. Zero isn’t possible, so a reluctant 1.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

Achtung Baby

4/5

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

2/5

Kick Out The Jams (Live)
