The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

A good album from one of my favourite bands, it’s not as good as “meat is murder” or “the smiths” but it does contain my favourite smiths song of all time “there is a light that never goes out” so I’ve got a lot of time and love for it.

Woodface

Crowded House

5/5

Just an amazing album, weather with you, four seasons in one day and Fall at your feet are just phenomenal songs. Top 3 album for me

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Best album of all time.

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

3/5

It was nice, good change of pace. I really liked Marty Groves, but no better than a 2.5, but I’ll round up.

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Deacon Blues is such a good song, I really enjoyed that

Scott 2

Scott Walker

3/5

Overall this album which is very similar to Engelbert Humperdincks whole thing was fairly enjoyable. “Jackie” was the first and best song of the album and then they all did start to sound the same. Perhaps the novelty of a man yapping over an orchestra had dilapidated quite quickly?

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

5/5

One of my favourites ever. It’s got some iconic ones: Brothers in arms, walk of life and money for nothing. But also some more blues/ swinging music in Your latest trick which I really like.

Green

R.E.M.

4/5

Overall notes - Big fan of REM so knew this would be an easy listen before bed, there’s no obviously weak links and every song holds its own however “I remember California” was too repetitive and too long. “Stand” and “Orange Crush” became new favourites and are now on the playlist. Thoroughly enjoyed the album, hope more REM is on the list!

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

2/5

I know it’s iconic, but it’s not my favourite genre of music

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

It’s just really cool

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

1/5

I know it’s meant to be alternative and experimental, but it wasn’t for me and didn’t end up finishing the album.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Opening song being “foxy lady” was my favourite added it was in THAT scene in Wayne’s World. However the rest of the songs started to sound the same, but some bright spots being “Fire” and “Purple Haze” as they were faster tempo and shorter than the others. Wasn’t a fan of “Are you experienced?” as the last few minutes it just sounded like a lot of unorganised noice which I know Hendrix is known for that but it is always for me.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

Hey Ya is fun, I really enjoyed some of the hip hop rap that Outkast isn’t normally known for. But it is two albums so it’s fairly long. Almost two hours I think

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

5/5

I really enjoyed 70s soul music so it makes sense that this is one my favourite albums ever. Every song is solid and is memorable on their own but “Let’s stay together” is just the full package and that’s why it’s my first 10/10 song. It’s just so good. Al Green is just talented in every sense of the word.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

It’s alright, it just keeps going and I’m bored. Some decent song transitions though.

1984

Van Halen

4/5

It’s a great album with some great songs, especially Jump and Panama (SORTED) IYKYK

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

It was alright I guess

Smile

Brian Wilson

4/5

Obviously very similar to the beach boys so I did like it, but it got very repetitive after a while. However I did really like “Heroes and Villains” as it felt like five different songs in one, very interesting

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

2/5

It went on for a while, not a massive fan to be honest

Tommy

The Who

2/5

WENT ON FOREVER

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

His voice is a bit boring and the instrumentals were a little long and boring.

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

4/5

I really liked that, it was really calming and I enjoyed Carvo E Canela and San Vicente even though I didn’t understand of it!

Tracy Chapman

5/5

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

I’m personally calling out Joe, he’s wrong because this album is a rock masterclass. Basket Case is a top 10 1990s rock song

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

1/5

THAT WENT ON FOREVER, THAT WAS MUMBLING WITH A BASS GUITAR

Joan Armatrading

4/5

WHAT A VOICE, iconic

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

Sweet Child of Mine, Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City are just class

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

3/5

Psycho Killer was fun, but didn’t love it

The White Album

Beatles

2/5

Overrated, there’s a few good songs but cmon. Really nothing special

Calenture

The Triffids

4/5

A nice album from an early 2000s Aussie band. A trick of light being my favourite song.

Achtung Baby

3/5

Enjoyed it, I hadn’t really listened to much of U2 before but it was nice. Would love to listen to more of their stuff. The fly was probably my favourite song.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

4/5

A bit quirky, but it was fun. I really liked Buffalo Gals.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

Really liked debaser and here comes your man

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

5/5

Such a good album, get it on is such a sick song, but Cosmic Dancer is also a banger.

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

3/5

Fin De Siecle is one of my favourite albums of all time but this one is just too lovey dovey. We get it bro you like her. This is not an album for the chronically single. It’s a low rating for the album not the artist.

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

4/5

Never listened to any of buffalo’s stuff before but for a group that wasn’t around long, really really enjoyable.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

It’s Johnny Cash, he’s the goat.

Pretenders

4/5

Who doesn’t love the pretenders, it’s not their best album so I’ll rank it down but it’s still really good!

Femi Kuti

4/5

Super groovy and fun listening, abit long for the kind of music it was. But will definitely give some his other stuff a listen! Survival was my favourite song.

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

4/5

Sounded like many British bands of that late 70s time, felt like the Siouxsie and the Bandhees, Talking Heads or even the Psychedelic Furs just produced new music. It wasn’t bad just not insanely original.

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

4/5

I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would to be honest

War

2/5

It was ok, I’m not a massive fan of U2 trying to be political

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

4/5

Fun, it’s a genre I’ve never really heard before

Heavy Weather
