The Doors

3/5

Liked the live versions of all the songs honestly but some songs definitely were sub par where the mixing between the vocals and the instruments were shambolic.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Great album with some solid tracks such as Midnight Ravers, No more trouble and of course Concrete Jungle. However, with all its charm it isn’t a perfect album, all day all night for example wasn’t a song I’d put up there with the rest of the album.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

Although I’m not as familiar with first generation rock and roll as I would like to be, this album really was a great introduction to the genre and songs like blueberry hill, so long and the fat man’s hop are songs that I truly did enjoy and wouldn’t be surprised if they made it into my regular rotation in the future.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

2/5

Very unique album at least in comparison to the rest of the ones in the book, for an artist that was rejected 6 times before finally getting accepted into the rock and roll hall of fame I’d have expected more variety and well Rock and Roll. But that being said I cannot rate this higher than a 3; heck, I’d only realistically give it a 2/5 as out of the 6 songs in the album there was only one that truly stood out as a good song (The model).

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Aretha my goat. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire album.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

Classic.

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

1/5

What made this album qualify for this list? Pure rubbish from the get go. Half a song is a dude running his mouth that LA is the home of the body bag. Another is this dude giving a monologue about an ongoing war in his community while shouting out the various gangs in the 90s. Also calling yourself an OG while you haven’t been formally initiated into any gang for that matter might actually be the saddest thing to do with the album as a whole. Listening to Yoko Ono screaming her way through her “performance” at MoMA for 10 hours might be better than this shit.

Pump

Aerosmith

3/5

Not the best Aerosmith album I’ve heard. Good enough to get a 3/5.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

When a live album sounds studio recorded it’s a testament to how good they are. Solid 4.5/5.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

1/5

Horrid Henry wouldn’t make people listen to this

Let It Be

The Replacements

3/5

As much as I enjoy rock and most of its subdivisions, this album was genuinely a mixed bag. The instrumental portions were phenomenal but the vocals were so below average that it sucked the life of out the song. Solid 2.5 to generous 3 out of 5. The vocalist ruined it for me.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Honestly pretty good excluding the overused tik tok song.

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

3/5

Quite enjoyable although every song sounds the same. Can’t give it higher than a 3.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Very enjoyable album. With genuine variety between songs and a form of music that holds up in the 21st century this deserves an easy 4/5.

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

1/5

Unique instruments aside, absolute dogshit album.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

Immaculate album, genuinely one of the better jazz albums I've heard. Solid 4/5.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

3/5

miss the old Kanye, straight from the 'Go Kanye Chop up the soul Kanye, set on his goals Kanye I hate the new Kanye, the bad mood Kanye The always rude Kanye, spaz in the news Kanye I miss the sweet Kanye, chop up the beats Kanye I gotta to say at that time I'd like to meet Kanye Jokes aside, pretty decent album. Solid 3/5.

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

2/5

For the amount of good stuff I’ve heard about the cramps, this album was disappointing to say the least. Vocalist was bad and the lyrics were just plain nonsense.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

3/5

Freebird carried the album with a few decent songs otherwise but nothing above a 3 is justifiable.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

Although I'm usually a sucker for Jazz, visiting a chunk of the jazz clubs in Manhattan almost every third weekend during my time there, this album did not resonate with me as much as I would've hoped. The jazz sounds so basic which has never been the case with most other jazz albums I've heard, this truly felt more like a band you'd find playing on a Saturday night at a reasonably fancy restaurant to appease your mood after seeing that abysmally small portion size. A 3 is justifiable for this album in particular.

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Great album with some extremely popular tracks that despite being overplayed both in movies and certain clubs, still are bangers that you can listen to over and over again. Solid 4/5.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

Genuinely one of my favourite albums of all time. Phenomenal as always 5/5.

The Suburbs

Nothing remarkable but a fun listen nonetheless. 3/5.

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

David Bowie

4/5

Very enjoyable album but bowie’s voice despite being as unique as it is falls short at certain times with his vocals going out of tune every now and then. Solid 4/5.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Nothing special. Just another Rock album with a few good songs in a sea of mid.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

2/5

Not a terrible listen but man the songs just DRAAAAAAAAAAG on and on. 2/5

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

2/5

It’s mid, just plain mid. Dude sounds like he’s on the verge of being blackout drunk. Horrid vocals. The only reason this isn’t getting a 1 is cause the instruments HARD CARRIED this album.

Tical

Method Man

Instruments are good. Vocals are unique but not in a good way. I understand that this is a Celtic band but the want to sound like a Viking while singing really isn’t it.
