Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Enjoyed it more & more after each listen. Very nice.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

This is the first blues album I've listened to & it's a good one.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

3/5

It's a bit inconsistent, and some of the songs are a tad too long, but it's an enjoyable enough listen.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

2/5

Mostly forgettable.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Some of these songs are just alright, but some ("Cherry-Coloured Funk" and "Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires," especially) are the prettiest few minutes you can hear in music.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

5/5

Absolutely sublime.

Bert Jansch

3/5

A solid folk album. Nothing special, apart from a few songs.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

4/5

A great glam rock record with two standout tracks ("All the Way From Memphis" and "I Wish I Was Your Mother").

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

3/5

It's all right for the most part, with one track ("First of the Gang to Die") standing above the rest. Better than I thought it would be.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

Fun stuff. Awesome cover.

Pink Flag

Wire

5/5

Incredible from start to finish. The guitar tones on this album are just unreal. Hardly anything on this list will be able to top this.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Great album.

Debut

Björk

4/5

There are some wonderful songs here. Björk's vocals are really unique and beautiful.

Roxy Music

2/5

This album is at its best when it sticks to relatively straightforward rock n' roll. The only tracks that I can enjoy in full are "Re-Make/Re-Model" and "Virginia Plain." The other songs are weighed down by their eclecticism.

Gold

Ryan Adams

1/5

A collection of uninspired songs that runs for way too long. Has no reason to be on this list.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

5/5

The sound of Neil Young being drunk and depressed. Excellent album.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

A few good songs here, though I don't really want to sit through the whole album because of the meh skits and some throwaway tracks.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

4/5

I do prefer the less clean and polished production of the Sisters' debut album, but I still highly enjoy Floodland. "Lucretia My Reflection" and "This Corrosion" are both awesome. The moody "Never Land" is a great closer, even though it is just a fragment of the full 12-minute track.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Amazing folk album. Great songs the whole way through. Quite more diverse than I thought a Simon & Garfunkel record would be. The Bob Dylan piss-take is real funny.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

3/5

An enjoyable new wave album, nothing amazing except for a few standout tracks like "Happy Day," "No Compassion" and, of course, "Psycho Killer." Their later albums definitely blow this one out of the water.

Scum

Napalm Death

4/5

Extremely abrasive, but I managed to enjoy it after giving it a few spins. I prefer the first half of the record as it's more distinct and the sound is more akin to hardcore punk than metal. The album cover is great.

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

5/5

Groovy, repetitive and hypnotizing. The bass playing is phenomenal throughout the whole thing -- Jah Wobble is king. I adore Keith Levene's metallic, shrieking guitars that threaten to cut you in half. Lydon's ragged and sickly vocals fit this record perfectly. A true wonder on all fronts.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

3/5

Weird music. Interesting to listen.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Lovely album.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Someday, jazz will reveal its whole beauty to me.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

Not very interesting.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Fun and catchy songs here.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

Songs like "Love Her Madly," "L.A. Woman" and "Riders on the Storm" are great. The rest is all right. Jim Morrison attempts to impersonate a guitar solo and/or harmonica on "Cars Hiss by My Window."

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

5/5

Do do do do do.

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

4/5

Captures some sort of vibe. Sounds goofy at points. I like it.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

3/5

It's good but I am not Feeling It.
