Paranoid

Black Sabbath

3/5

Never realised how good the drumming was!

Fleet Foxes

1/5

Not for me. Couldn't get past 3 tracks

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Strong blondie vibes, theb took me down an elvis constellation rabbit hole so happy with that. Skidmarks on my heart was the highlight

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

This is right up my street, good ol proper blues and superb guitar noodling! A bit repetitive, but let's face it, that's basically what blues is

Tommy

The Who

1/5

Honestly, I just can't get on with the Who. I tried again but got 2 tracks in and just had to turn it off

The Doors

4/5

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

I'm completely biased as it's on of my formative albums as a teen. It's not perfect but it's damn close. Just a total peach.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

This was fantastic. I've heard various willy Nelson but never listened through a full album. Enjoyed almost every track

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

5/5

Absolutely love this, first album so far that will go onto my playlist

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

2/5

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

David Bowie

4/5

I'm not a huge Bowie fan, but every track on this is a single. Fantastic album

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

I was not expecting to like this Then bam, first track, great. Second track, poor Third track great And so on, liked some of it, hated other bits but was certainly better than I expected from a genre I don't embrace.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

5/5

One of my major life turning point albums when nu metal really found its feet and style, and still a near perfect album today. Every tracks a winner, shame about most of the albums that followed!

Fragile

Yes

2/5

I'm not sure I'd say yes but I wouldn't say no. To be honest just a little bland with a bit too much noodling but some okay tracks

For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

1/5

Honestly I got 3 tracks in and gave up. A bit bowie-ish in parts but not my thing at all

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

I'm a big S&G fan so always gonna like this

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

2/5

Tbh I got bored about halfway through and gave up. Not his best

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

2/5

I mean, it's not offensive is it. I put it on in the house and completely forgot it was going on periodically. Very background music to me

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

I do like a bit of nick cave, but haven't really listened to many full albums. Id say I liked every track on this, but I found it a bit samey and whilst absent minded listening found one track could have easily been another. Liked the songs but not sure about the full album

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

2/5

I'm just not into Bowie enough to make it through another album. I tried and failed

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

Yep, big fan. Not an albums I've listened to a lot but very good

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

I think i could happily like every individual song on this, but it's just samey and I lost interest as a full album

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

1/5

I honestly think the 80s were the lowest decade for music and this hasn't helped sway my opinion

Vivid

Living Colour

1/5

I got quite excited reading the description of the band on Spotify because I've never heard of them, but this is dreadful

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

1/5

We played at a blues festival on the Isle of Wight and after the gig there was a late night Jam session and it basically sounded exactly like this for about four hours. I went to bed after 10 minutes because it sounded exactly like this but I could hear it downstairs for a long time after and it was just as dull as this is

The xx

3/5

I knew the XX from the radio and was pretty sure I didn't like them, but actually thought this was a really decent album

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

I know one of these songs well from a movie soundtrack and enjoyed the whole album

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

This was a challenge for sure. I kept absolutely despising it and then all of a sudden it would be absolutely beautiful and then it would leak back into being a shocking moment of noodling. It's like they're taken the post war music that I love and over jazzed the hell out of it

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down

The Dandy Warhols

1/5

Blaaaand

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

2/5

Very meh, thought I'd like this more

Document

R.E.M.

2/5

I'm not sure i can write bland for every review but I'm going to again for this one

Disintegration

The Cure

2/5

I really want to like the Cure as a wannabe goth emo boy but it just doesn't do a great deal for me other than the odd track

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

1/5

Never liked the PSBs much, or just thisbera of music generally! I tried, but wasn't converted

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

It's Beatlesy at the end if the day, so certainly not bad but also not as good as most beatles albums

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Some absolutely classics, but not as good as I hoped throughout

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

I feel like I should like the smiths... And i bloody do, big fan! I don't think this is their strongest album but I can merrily listen to it

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

4/5

I actually liked this a lot

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

1/5

Honestly, I absolutely hate it. This os hell for me

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/5

I thought I'd love this, but I didn't really

The Slider

T. Rex

2/5

Orbital 2

Orbital

3/5

This isn't my bag usually but I put it on in the car and got pretty into it. Decent enough!

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

3/5

First track i thought I'd hate this, but turns out I actually know some of the songs. Not bad. Enjoyed it

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

I find this pretty background music but at the same time it was very pleasant

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

2/5

Not sure what Bruce likes about this so much. Too much noodling!

Hypnotised

The Undertones

3/5

I love his voice but it wasn't an exciting album. Basically I wish it was better because I'd probably love it

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

Yup, nice and simple, had this on in the car and enjoyed it

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Pretty doll, at least it was also pretty short

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

I'll be honest, I didn't listen because I've heard it quite a lot before and I'm just not that into Bowie, although I appreciate it's an important and decent album

Sister

Sonic Youth

3/5

Approved

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

I'm not a massive Stones fan but Gimme Shelter is one of the greatest songs of all time so that's taken this too to an easy three if not a four

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5
