Enjoyed this more than the cars are cars travesty but still found it dull in parts. Julio and the percussion kept it interesting enough to sneak a 3

This really surprised me and was right up my wheelhouse. Came close to giving it a 5/5. Waiting for the night, personal Jesus and enjoy the silence are absolute bangers

Not his best but still good and a solid 3. Time, Aladdin and Jean standouts

Enjoyable listen

Very long and very repetitive

Difficult to believe this is 50 years old. Definitely one to go back to 5/5

Overwhelming relief when it was over

Bizarrely enjoyable

Impressive live, good listen

Over 60 years old and still some bangers

Unsure if it was the fumes because I was painting whilst listening but very enjoyable, epitaph and crimson in particular

No idea what the lads banging on about but enjoyable sound throughout. Too long

Difficult to believe this had mixed reviews on release. Outstanding

Ironically nearly gave up during don’t give up. Kate Bush couldn’t even save this one for me

Haven’t listened to this through for a long time. Such a great listen start to finish

Thought this was great listen. Love how eclectic it is. Public enemy/NWA vibes. Potential fifer on relisten

Once went to a wedding where bunch of 40 year old blokes stormed round to our house with ties wrapped round there head. Put me off that song and the rest of this album is worse. To give them their due they’re distinctive and instantly recognisable, just not my cup of tea

Listened to this disjointed over last few days which probably wasn’t ideal. But enjoyable album, really enjoyed the ditty’s in between

Easy going listen, very inoffensive. Feel on relisten could improve however didn’t blow me away

Thought this really worked. No major standouts but whole album just flowed

Laid back, easy going listen however doubt I’d rush back to it

Difficult to believe this is live- what a voice!

Felt like I should’ve liked it, just felt really disjointed. Imagine it’s influenced a lot but felt it lacked its own identity and was too chaotic

Green day are so recognisable and this was a great listen. Basket case a highlight but a fun listen throughout

Had 2 beck albums now and enjoyed both, felt this was better listen as a whole. Tailed off a bit but overall great listen

This just didn’t work for me. Long and boring

I really disliked this, it’s long, dull and found his tone irritating. A song also seemingly empathetic towards Gacy? Bed wetters music

Short and sweet

Atol protected. Enjoyed this throwback, if I’d not been listening whilst doing laundry may have scored higher

Difficult to believe this is in the top 10,000 albums

Really worked for me, definitely going to go back to his earlier stuff

Enjoyable throwback with a couple of bangers thrown in

Love thunder cat and this was a lovely listen

Probably the best of the electronic we’ve had. If you’re going to do it, go Eno ambient. Listened whilst building some ikea furniture; perfect activity for this album and may have inflated the rate

Probably wouldn’t rush back to it but easy listen. Porcelain is a banger

I know this goes down as one of the greatest of all times but it’s just not my bag. I could appreciate it and didn’t dislike it but wouldn’t return

Love this album, bombtrack straight into KITNO riff is such a great transition. Interesting to have this post Metallica, enjoyed this much more

Never listened to Mott and surprised how much I enjoyed this. Bowies influence all over it probably inflated the score but still some great songs (Memphis and hymn were highlights)

Found half of this on YouTube. Difficult to find, in German and it’s theatrical- holy trinity of shite

Easy listening soul album. Mostly forgettable but overall an easy listen

Guitar solos and synth, very enjoyable

I’d never previously listened to this through. Can hear so much of their later stuff in this. Good listen but not one I’d rush back to so 3/5

Only thing I knew about them was Perry farrells recent on stage breakdown. Felt later songs better, but probably wouldn’t go back

Classic listen. Short, snappy songs (and album). Loud and repetitive but not in an unenjoyable way

Never really given the dandy warhols a chance and now I have no idea why. Loved this and right in my wheelhouse. Came close to 5 but flagged a little bit mid album

Never thought I was a jazz man but here we are

Another day, another brilliant jazz album. The only thing I knew Duke for before this was Big Mouth. Skin deep could have been the whiplash finale

I went into this expecting find Bragg grating. At times I found the lyrics too forced left-fed left wing ideology but enjoyed the folk and some of the protest songs were really catchy

Unoriginal, boring and bloated. Scraped a 2

Hotel lobby vibes, forgettable

Love this album. Took so much of what was great about NWA and made improved. Laid the foundation for much more in the 90s

Enjoyed large parts of this- dark lyrics, stripped back. However a lot of it was a bit too bare for me. Potentially higher on a repeat listen

This honestly made me question why I don’t listen to Iron Maiden more. It’s all so well put together- the build up, the solos- absolutely loved it. Children of the damned and run to the hills highlights

Best album ever made imo. Every song is 5/5.

Easy going, lovely listen with some bangers sprinkled through

I enjoyed parts of this a lot, our house is such a good song. In parts found myself getting bored.

I have such a soft spot for this album. One of the first albums I bought myself and still stands the test of time. Through to bucket doesn’t really miss a beat

Listened to this first thing and it’s got a nice sound. Was just a little bit too cry yourself to sleep for my tastes. Possibly on another listen will score higher

just not my bag, scraped a 2

Decent listen and kept interesting throughout, changes such as great song. High 3 on first listen, likely higher if I went back to it

I’m sure this inspired lots and seems ahead of its time. However found myself so bored throughout. Just scraped a 3 but so forgettable I won’t be going back

Take your 5 ya merry bastard

Loved this, felt like I was in a 70s movie. Jazz/blues element kept it really interesting- would go back

Excellent album- heroine the highlight

Cracking album this, great background music

This grew on me, first couple of songs thought it was going to be a tough listen. But although repetitive, easy listening with enough going on to bop along to

So stereotypically French it came full circle and I quite enjoyed it. Felt like I was sat in a Parisian restaurant

Please forgive me for the exposure of my guilty pleasures. May be bland and boring but I love David Gray. Forgive me, Babylon and years love highlights

As a concept album just really worked for me.

Difficult to grasp why so many people are averse to Coldplay. Hit the ground running here; some absolute bangers. Trouble, shiver and everything’s not lost highlights (love yellow but bit of Mr Brightside to it)

I always struggle rating early Beatles. It’s hard not to think it’s derivative until you realise it’s everything else that’s influence by it. Either way great album with some standouts

Only knew holding back the years before listening. Much of the same really, very banal and forgettable

What a fantastic soul/funk album. Smooth 70s funk, loved it

Baffling to see the hate for this. Wasted time was such a great interlude. Probably wouldn’t rush back to this but lovely listen

Lot of soul recently and this was another cracker. Incredible voice and backing. Would’ve been a 5 but bit too repetitive

Felt like this was trying to do hundred things, most of them poorly. Didn’t enjoy the vocals, too chaotic

Never listened to this through before and what an album! In da club, if I can’t, PIMP all cracking but holds its own throughout. Fiddy gives such a soft gangsta rap that he feel if he were to smash my face in, it would come from a good place

Great listen- lively funk album that remained interesting. Little bit on the lengthy side but enjoyed throughout

Every time I listen to this, and it has been a while, I always think it’s going to be way over hyped. But then as I listen it always grows on me. It builds throughout whilst remaining interesting, should listen to Wilco more

I like public enemy and there’s a lot in here to like. However seemed too much of a good thing this one. Found myself willing it to end by the last few songs

Never listened to the fall and there were bits that were fine but majority was a struggle. Wouldn’t return

If there was a Bechdel test for music this would’ve failed every song, not a win for feminism. It wasn’t a tough listen but extremely repetitive and very much feel I could’ve died without listening to this one

This was a mixed bag, desire lines was an absolute banger but a lot of it didn’t hit. May score higher or lower on relisten and probably needs a bit more time

This was fantastic. Dark, atmospheric with Smiths distinctive lyrics. Need to get more cure in my rotation

Love this one a lot

When he asked what is the point of this story I couldn’t help but agree, this was as dull as dishwater. Cars are cars up there as worst song on this generator so far. You’re better than this Paul

I enjoyed that huge first song and tears in the second half was decent. Probably wouldn’t go back

Not really listened to iggy pop before and this was cracking. Lust for life and passenger highlights with Bowies influence all over them

Lesser of the two BB albums we’ve had and pretty rough around the edges. Slow ride, girls and fight for your right the highlight (girls was bizarrely enjoyable)

This really deserves its reputation. Absolute bop throughout with once in a lifetime and crosseyed highlights

No idea how this took nearly 20 years to write. Slow, dour and irritating. Each song was a battle

This was a lot of grime. Had its moments though and just snuck a 3

Loved this ain’t no cure for love and tower of song highlights. Bizarrely enjoyable songs in the middle too (jazz police in particular). Would come back

Again needs to be in my rotation more. Excellent and baffling that they dropped off the planet after

Nas is someone that I always skip over other names when in a hip hop mood but this album is incredible. Hard to believe this was his debut. First half is stacked with bangers

Not one I’m sure I needed to listen to before I died. Very forgettable, scraped a 3

I remember in 2003 listening to this on a Normandy history trip, I stared out the window at war graves with boulevard playing thinking it was the deepest point of my life. Was a sad act but what a way to reminisce. Mostly belters, easy 5/5

A lot of this was pretry standard 70s stuff but a nice easy listen with some highlights in there, thirteen, try again and watch the sunrise highlights

Difficult to say much about this album that hasn’t already been said more eloquently by others. There’s something reassuring about the familiarity of it. Time into TGGITS into money is up there as the best song run in the list so far

Great album, tailed off slightly otherwise may have been a 5

Can’t believe I’ve never listened to this before. A lot of fun throughout and will definitely be returning

This started really well, very maccabees-esque but seemed to tail off. Potential to score higher or lower on a relisten tbh

This felt like an AI generated britpop album. Middle of the road guff, snuck a 3

Easy Sunday listen. Peaked where it started with concrete jungle

Enjoyed this more than the cars are cars travesty but still found it dull in parts. Julio and the percussion kept it interesting enough to sneak a 3

Why oh why do I need to listen to this before I die.

We’ve had a fair bit of hip hop now and this has been the weakest. I enjoy wu tang but the lyrics were aggressive, it was repetitive and long. Rainy days and ice cream were highlights

Decent enough pop. Hurt, candyman and ain’t no other man are highlights

Oof this was great. Brown sugar and wild horses at the start are two absolute belters then holds its own throughout. Close to a 5/5

Really nice funk album- that lady and summer breeze bangers but easy listening throughout

I really felt like I’d enjoy this one, but it was incredibly boring over its 1hr+. The only variant being bizarre lyrics which seemed strange for the sake of it. Fireflies down the end was decent and that’s the good news was so bizarre it became enjoyable. Certainly won’t be returning

Couldn’t connect with this at all, just not my bag

Again high hopes for this one but was so incredibly bored by the end nearly gave it a one

I really tried to enjoy this but just couldn’t. Bloated songs into a bloated album that felt repetitive. Just not my cuppa

Loved every bit of this. An improved Nico at the start, Dylan-esque in parts and reminded me of sugarman in others. Interesting throughout

Didn’t like the songs I knew on this album and like the ones I didn’t know even less

Lord knows how many drugs were consumed in making this. Had its moments and could see them reaching for latter stuff but bit too left field to score higher

Undoubtedly a classic but felt myself drifting during parts. High 3

Such a good listen, will be going back

Second miles Davis we have had and equally as good

This was a teetering on the edge of mediocre until the final 2 songs lasting >10 mins each offered absolutely nothing. No chance of a return to this one and baffling it’s on the list

Lot o onions

Just didn’t get on with this. Safe, boring album

New one for me this and loved it

This for me is one of his weakest but it actually gets better as it goes on- the more ambient/eno it gets the more I enjoyed

First listen of Alice Cooper and sort of expected more. It was fine but not exactly shocking. I love the dead to finish was bizarre

I can only assume this made the list because the poor producer died trying to save it. Reception music

I enjoyed the majority of this in spite of its feature film length. God into spread into where are my panties gave me a real chuckle

This was a cracking Sunday listen

Decent guitar solos and cracking debut album. However found 1984 more interesting when we had that and this didn’t blow me away

Some hip hop heritage in this but just a bit too repetitive. Laid the ground work for a lot

This was a lot of fun, great tempo kept interesting. Girls wanna have fun and time after time are classics

Red alert and bingo bango are still cracking songs, wouldn’t rush back but a nice morning bop

Cracking album, packs a punch in it 35 mins. 3 massive songs and rest holds its own

Undoubtedly got couple of bangers but largely throughout found myself getting bored

Absolutely loved this from start to finish

I love a bit of VM and this starts really strong but it lost me near the end and slipped into a 3

About as dull as rock gets with Steve Tyler’s grating voice on top, not for me

I had never even heard of this let alone listened to it. Loved it. Lofi hip hop sound kept interesting throughout. Will be going back

This was dark, haunting and moving. Very cave. A lot for a Monday morning but absolutely loved it.

Unsure exactly why I needed to listen to this before I died but it was fine

This was guaranteed a three by how much American pie slaps but the rest was a bit of a damp squib

Not really my bag anyway but felt like this straddled a halfway house. Semi psychedelic whilst remaining bland, would’ve preferred if they’d pushed the psych further
