3/5

A couple of good classics but the rest of the album doesn't quite live up to them

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

It's not American Idiot, but you can see it from here. While I didn't find it as immediately catchy as some of their later stuff, there are a couple of classic hits and I enjoyed the nostalgia

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

1/5

Couldn't bring myself to listen to more than the intros of songs. Not for me

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

3/5

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

4/5

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

I'd say 4.5 if I could. Long time fan of Billy Joel and this one has some of the classic hits. Only losing slight marks cause he has other versions of some of the songs that I prefer

Sail Away

Randy Newman

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

Queen are absolute legends. Tried not to compare to A Night at The Opera, but it's hard cause it's one of the all time best albums!

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

L.A. Woman

3/5

Probably better with multiple listens but admittedly only listened once

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

3.5 really. I enjoyed this, and it had a good sense of humour!

Marquee Moon

Television

3/5

System Of A Down

3/5

I wouldn't normally listen to much metal, and I appreciate they have better albums, but I can still understand why one would enjoy SOAD if they were more interested in the genre

Scissor Sisters

4/5

The right kind of weird for my taste

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

2/5

If you ignore ALL of the lyrics it gets some points for a good beat and general entertainment. Overall pretty repetitive....we won't get into the misogyny

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

2/5

Not bad, but mostly background listening for minor characters in Grease who don't get to hear all the main songs

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Queen II

Queen

3/5

Relatively tame for Queen, but it's still Queen so a solid 3.5 at least

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

2/5

Relatively bland

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

2/5

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Dwight Yoakam

1/5

Sad songs for sad cowboys

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

3/5

Overall catchy enough and not a bad listen, but not as hit-filled or instantly memorable as some of their counterparts in British pop-rock of a similar era

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

2/5

2.5, good beats but probably better for night clubs than casual listening

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

2/5

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

3/5

Good and catchy, made me wanna dance

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

Really enjoyed this. Mildly reflective of A Night At The Opera for me, not musically but in terms of the idea of a whole show within an album

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

A couple of good classics but the rest of the album doesn't quite live up to them

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

3/5

Some cool stuff, some a little intense on the barbells, but overall interestering!

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

2/5

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

ABBA is always a good idea

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

3.5-4, I love S&G, and some of the greatest hits are on here, though it doesn't feel quite as consistent as an album as I expected

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

2/5

This was fine. Kinda washed over me

Grace

Jeff Buckley

4/5

Was worried the rest of the album would be disappointing given how well known Hallelujah is. I was definitely not disappointed! While it is still the most iconic and beautiful song on the album, the rest is still excellent

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

The Stone Roses

3/5

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

I mean, one of the absolute greats, hands down. No more that needs saying.
