Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

Album a bit all over the place. Couple of decent tracks, and 'You can call me Al' is obviously a banger.

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

Good gentle background music. Nothing particularly noteworthy, but pleasant.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

3/5

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

2/5

Entirely underwhelming throughout. Would never play again, though nothing too offensive.

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

Enjoyable album as background during dinner. Would revisit in future!

Feast of Wire

Calexico

3/5

Quite an enjoyable listen, and a band I wasn't previously familiar with. A little esoteric at times though.

Night Life

Ray Price

2/5

Nothing offensive, but nothing noteworthy.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

3/5

A decent album, just lacking any real banger tracks.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

Enjoyed this album, though it drifted a bit at times. Will check out more Frank Zappa now though!

Bert Jansch

3/5

Pleased to have been introduced to this album! Some lovely tracks and really impressive guitar playing

Blood, Sweat & Tears

3/5

Album's a bit all over the place, and feels almost novelty at times. But there's some good tracks in amongst it!

Really good album with some iconic tunes. Play it loud!

Supergrass

3/5

A good album

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

Fun enough to tap your foot along to, but gets a bit repetitive by the end.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

3/5

A couple of highlights, but a bit dreary in the middle.

The Cars

3/5

Really good album, and had sounds spanning from early 70s well into the 80s... But no track was quite good enough to push it up to a 4...

Machine Head

Deep Purple

4/5

Decent album with a couple of absolute bangers... Legendary guitarist with an iconic riff gets this my first 4 stars!

My Generation

The Who

3/5

Not the sound I expect from the Who. Album is ok, but prefer their later stuff.

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

4/5

I had really low expectations, thinking it would be like late beach boys. But how wrong I was! Really enjoyable, if slightly eclectic, album! Only managed disc one so far though.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

2/5

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

3/5

Music is fine, just what you'd expect from the era.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

An enjoyable album, with a few belters in there. Too long though, with a bit of filler.

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

Truly iconic album.

Parklife

Blur

3/5

Started very well, but deteriorated as the album went on.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

It is what it is.

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

3/5

Middle of the road, just don't really get why it's in this list.

Hot Shots II

The Beta Band

4/5

Very enjoyable album, can see why they toured with Radiohead

3/5

Mostly forgettable, but nothing too bad

Decent album that improved as it went on.

Very

Strong album, but no real banger... And I can't stand the last track!

Really cracking album, just skip the last couple of tracks...

4/5

Surprisingly good!

Just a bit bland. Would never choose to put it on.

Sincere

Mj Cole

2/5

Not a great album, but a few decent tracks dotted about.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Not Metallica's best album by far, but some good tracks.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

Very nearly a 5. Every track is a banger, just a little repetitive.

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

Some really enjoyable tracks, but fades as it goes on.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Strong album throughout

Power In Numbers

Not bad, considering I don't like hip hop

3/5

A fun introduction to the style!

Can't Buy A Thrill

4/5

Very solid album, and a new one to me! First few tracks really good.

Elvis Presley

3/5

It's Elvis, it's alright.

Ray Of Light

Madonna

2/5

This isn't good. Fairly drab pop strewn with unnecessary EDM and eastern twang.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

2/5

Didn't enjoy this, and some of it is rather egregious.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

2/5

Had high hopes for this, but is actually quite hard to find much positive to say about it. Annoying vocal, obnoxious lyrics, maybe a couple of backing tracks have a little interest. Most disappointed I've been at an album so far.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

3/5

Nice blues, would listen again

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

Nice album

Jazz Samba

2/5

Not my cup of tea
