Bullshit.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Yeah it was fine! I like the beginning of Down By The River, but ultimately it's not as interesting as CSNY or Harvest or anything.

1989

Taylor Swift

3/5

It was totally fine! It had a few really memorable ones, like Style and All You Had To Do Was Stay, but I find the lyrcis very difficult to listen to. Feels like arrested development honestly.

1984

Van Halen

2/5

This album isn’t great, despite some of the songs on it being great. Feels like a late stage greatest hits with some unnecessary filler in it honestly. Panama fucking rules though.

Garbage

1/5

This album sucks. I much prefer Garbage 2.0. Stupid Girl is obviously a banger but otherwise it's pretty void. I can see why it's on the list because it was influential, but a lot of the time the first pass of something is pretty crappy, and that definitely applies here.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

It's great! If I hadn't heard it a million times I would have loved it :)

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

3/5

It was pretty good. He's definitely my fave Beatle and the songs are good. The album, as an album, however, is not great but whatever.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Oh yeah it was fine whatever

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Yeah it was fine, kinda passed me by. I like the hits, who doesn't?

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Yeah great songs obviously! Wish it wasn't a live album, what's the point?

Play

Moby

5/5

Yeah! Heard this album a million times and it still predominantly slaps. There are a few lulls but it's hard to fault.

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

Totally fine.

Moving Pictures

Rush

3/5

It was fine, nobody needs to hear an album of Rush though, the hits will do.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

I enjoyed this! Again, feels unnecessary to be a live album

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

2/5

Forgot it was on

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

4/5

Really enjoyed the first half of this. Tails off pretty badly but who cares.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

Yeah, pretty good. One of the better ones so far.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

Some great ones! I feel like there are better Ray Charles albums though.

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

1/5

Horrible.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

4/5

Excellent! Tails off in the middle a bit so not perfect but I liked it a lot.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

1/5

To be totally transparent I didn’t give this a proper go. I got about two songs in and gave up. I don’t want to listen to a live Deep Purple album, why would anyone want to?

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

Pretty good! Passed me by a bit but that’s not uncommon.

Metallica

3/5

Yeah! Fine in a certain mood. Couldn't make it through it while working though.

LP1

FKA twigs

2/5

Couldn't do it. It's like she's trying to be as abrasive and amelodic as possible, and has somewhat succeeded. It's not cool, it's not fun, it's dull.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

Yeah good enjoyed it, bit overplayed in my book

Out of Step

Minor Threat

1/5

Couldn't do it, sorry. Not on a Thursday, not any day.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

Yeah! fine.

Kimono My House

Sparks

4/5

Yeah this was good! You forgot that Sparks have some psuedo-hits

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Yeah, it seemed fine. Wasn't really (and rarely am) in the the mood for a whole album of this.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

Not his best.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

It was great! Walk On By is too long though and two versions? Bit of a joke.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

It's got some 10/10 songs, but it's not The Score is it?

John Prine

3/5

Yeah fine! A bit forgettable honestly.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

1/5

No.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

Pretty good, most of it passed me by except for Pulled Up honestly.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

2/5

Yeah I guess it was fine. Boring.

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Pretty forgettable one really.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

The worst Smiths studio album I've heard, and I've heard most. Still decent.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

4/5

Not the best. I like mid-career Prodigy more. And late really. This is a bit rave-y for me. Poison is nice though and a few others.

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

It's the best one. Although it's also the most Brexit Radiohead album, so I think I'm starting to get even more sharp a gauge on The Creator.

Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

Not as good as I remember but still good.

The United States Of America

3/5

Not for me. Some cool moments but ultimately couldn't get through it without turning it off.

Common

4/5

Excellent first half, ok second half.

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

2/5

Couldn't do it. Too much sheep-like shouting for my taste.

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

It was pretty good!

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

It was good! Kinda passed me by but some of the songs are great

Fleet Foxes

4/5

Great! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Hard to fault other than maybe a touch same-y.

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

2/5

Kind of forgot it was on. Put on Stone Roses after instead and that was much more fun.

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

3/5

Yeah it was standard Morrissey. This boomer really loved mid Morrissey

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

Really enjoyed it!

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Very mid

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

4/5

I like this a lot!

Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

The White Room

The KLF

1/5

Would give it zero stars if I could. Just boring unlistenable trash really.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

1/5

Bullshit.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

It was fine! A bit loose for my taste.

Le Tigre

3/5

yeah good album!

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

2/5

Not for me.

Black Sabbath

4/5

Yeah good! Not as good as Paranoid but certainly listenable

On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

It wasn't really for me

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

2/5

I like that one song, but mainly shit.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

Honestly wasn't sure if i gave a shit about this album, but it's fucking great. Parachutes is probably better overall but they're both kind of perfect.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Didn't listen but know it well, great album!

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

It was pretty good.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Great!
