Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

2/5

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Couple great songs on here (Our House, Almost Cut My Hair) but on the whole a bit meandering for me.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

2/5

Can't argue with the hits but a whole album is just a bit much 💀

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

2/5

My second Steely Dan album in a week... not best pleased!! I liked this better than Pretzel Logic - less rocky but more cheesy. Unfortunately the last few songs pushed it down to another 2 stars 👎

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

3/5

I LOVE War Pigs. Fun to have a reason to listen to the rest of the album. I was having a good time but I got a bit bored in the second half - maybe just too much of the same for me.

The Band

5/5

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

3/5

Not Brian's best

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

5/5

Love it, one of my all-time classics. European Son is usually a skip for me though 😬

Out of Step

Minor Threat

1/5

Mercifully short

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

5/5

Heard bits of this before but never listened to it in full - great album. The only miss for me was Oompa Radar...

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

Honestly liked this a lot more than I expected. Kind of an intense listen so I'm not sure I'd come back it a lot, but glad I gave this a chance.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Not really my thing, but nowhere near as cheesy as I thought

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

3/5

Not enough going on lyrically for me to get stuck into personally, but this was fun

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

Not gonna be a repeat listen for me, but damn this was some good cowboy drama

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

The 2 first songs are absolute bangers, but having listened to this album a few times over the years, they're the only tracks I come back to. There's not much else I connect with here. Still, the rest of it isn't *bad* (except Mother's Lament...???). I'm trying to separate art from artist and all that with this challenge, but I should also note that Eric Clapton can get fucked.

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

So CUTE

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

3/5

I started getting a migraine while I was listening to this and I don't think the two things are totally unrelated

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

I enjoyed this! Even though I liked the Tears for Fears songs I knew already it would never have occurred to me to listen to one of their albums. On an unrelated note, I think my dad said he met one of these guys in a smoking area one time. I should ask him about that...

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

More listenable than I expected but also more goofy

New York Dolls

2/5

Found this very repetitive. Didn't really do anything for me.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

1/5

This is the first one I've thought about skipping, but I did end up making it to the end. The human story behind the album is sad but I really don't think it should be on the list - it's totally unfinished.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

Man I loved this. I'm realising it makes a big difference what I'm doing while I listen to an album. I listened to this while I was doing something creative and energetic, and it was a perfect match.

Technique

New Order

3/5

Squishy

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

This was great, not sure why I've struggled to get into it previously

Vulnicura

Björk

3/5

I just can't ever stay with Bjork for the length of an entire album, and this one felt the same way
