Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

Great start to an album. Death and guns everywhere. Then some songs get a bit samey and I lose interest in the story telling. Important album as I believe it started to paved the way for outlaw country. Big iron on his hip

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

Dat bass. Not my favourite Yes album, I think it is a bit inconsistent at times. But when it hits, it hits! Yours Is No Disgrace, such a great opener. The lengthier tracks allow them to develop themes and actually come back to them, feeling like they are actually more cohesive pieces than the shorter counterparts. Squire's bass lines are magnificent. Some great catchy bits here.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

Peter Gabriel

2/5

This score was going to be a 3, but the second half of this album is a proper drag. I thought maybe I’d like it this time? I especially enjoyed Red Rain and Don’t Give up. Great musicianship. But when the “world music” influences come in… no thank you. Reminds me of Toto in the worst possible way.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

2/5

Why is this on this list?

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

4/5

Mike the prog riff machine. Lots of fun and he was 19 when he made this.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

2/5

Sorry Kate. I’m bored

The xx

2/5

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

4/5

There are some really good tracks here. Some others could’ve done with not being here. If this had been trimmed to a 40min album could’ve possibly been a 5* for me

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

Abstract, complex but engaging the whole way. What a great album. First time you listen to the album you don’t really know where it is taking you, but what a ride!

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Dead Kennedys

5/5

Punk landmark. Still hitting hard today. I really like how it feels like they are on the verge of a nervous breakdown at all times. This is what punk should be.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Great album. Catch melodies, good riffs and makes you want to get on the car and drive away.

Os Mutantes

3/5

Either Or

Elliott Smith

5/5

Iron Maiden

3/5

Some good songs, some less memorable. Like Paul Di Anno’s vocals but nothing hits peak epic like in their later albums. You can see glimpses of it, just not there yet.

Future Days

Can

4/5

I don’t know what is going on. I think I am a bit distressed by it. However still sort of fascinated.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

2/5

Definitely boring

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

5/5

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

2/5

This was… interesting. Odd world music vibes mixed with religious chants.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

5/5

Epic. Ian Gillan sounds horny.

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Best grunge band. Best Pearl Jam album. I don’t think there are bad tracks here.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Lush and beautiful. Always a pleasure to listen to.

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

Not the same highs as the Bon Scott era. Great driving album. I’ve been too long, I’m glad to be back… pepepewpew

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

Funky but doesn’t bring me back for more

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

3/5

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

2/5

Will not go back to this. First song, Bob Dylans cover is probably the best.

Live / Dead

Grateful Dead

3/5

Meandering but enjoyable

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

Breaking the law breaking the law dumdumdum Some good tracks, it gets quite samey. Lyrics are pure corny metal. For those that thought Judas Priest was cooler, go listen to Painkiller

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

5/5

Grandiose album. It has a way of grabbing you and taking you on a different journey every time you play it.

The Stone Roses

4/5

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

The riffs, the grooves, the flow. An album that is difficult to sit still to. When I was a young teen I was listening to hip hop quite a bit and then my Dad gave me this album. Changed a lot of things. I had forgotten how many killer riffs are on this album.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

So close to giving this a 5. I don’t think I ever listened to this album from start to finish. It has all the great grunge components and it just delivers.

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

Horses

Patti Smith

5/5

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

You know? This was quite fun. Unexpectedly so

The Real Thing

Faith No More
