Don’t really know what to expect from this one, but I’ve got another car journey coming up, so here goes! OK, that was certainly an experience. For such an iconic soundtrack, I expected a lot more. Even the songs everybody knows seemed quite flat. Won’t be listening to it again.

God, flashback to our old house 25 years ago...I'd totally forgotten some of these songs (Nite Club, Little Bitch) but this brought them flooding back. There's also the feeling of being 17 and back in Watford tied to some, particularly Message to You Rudy. Excellent album to start this project!

First look...I'm not sure I've ever listened to this as an album before. I only recognise two songs off the top of my head. To my surprise I preferred it to Back In Black. This might be because I was listening to it in its natural habitat, ie on a long car journey.

Don’t know what i expected from Nick Cave but it wasn’t this. Really enjoying it. It’s been pointed out to me that Nick is going full David Byrne and now I can’t unhear it.

Don’t really know what to expect from this one, but I’ve got another car journey coming up, so here goes! OK, that was certainly an experience. For such an iconic soundtrack, I expected a lot more. Even the songs everybody knows seemed quite flat. Won’t be listening to it again.

Really not my sort of thing. A lot of these songs are classics, so they’ve been everywhere for decades, proper Radio 2 fare. Having said all that, you can’t deny the quality, and the Quincy Jones production really shows.

I have always struggled a bit with Anohni's falsetto, but clearly I just needed to listen to a full album. This is some powerful stuff.

This is OK, but I kinda think if I wanted this sort of light country folk, America and Crosby, Stills and Nash are right there. Not quite sure what it's doing on this list. On Sir Frances Drake starts off well and then goes into the self-indulgent noodling that I hate. Ride The Wind - the worst kid of elevator music. So...no, it's not OK, it's mostly shit.

Oh my God, i didn’t realised David Cassidy was doing a cover of How Can I Be Sure! Oh my God, this is the band that did Groovin’?? This is nice MOTR 60s pop. The variation in song styles is a good thing, which is not always the case. Would listen again.

I like Bluegrass; I don't really like country. This seems to hit the spot between them, and I quite like it. Very Dolly Parton.

This album seems to be “Let’s throw together any old shit and see what works.” Some does, some doesn’t, but they’ve neglected to take the bad ones out. Seriously, 31 tracks? Also, its like Mountain Goats fronted by Lou Reed. Didn’t work for me.

This was ok. Filling it under TMGN (Too Much Guitar Noodling)

OMG it’s the album we got three copies of that all skipped! Yay vinyl!

I’m sure this was a great gig to be at, but it kinda leaves me a bit cold. All the audience participation bits don’t really do it for me. I love Sam’s music, but I’d much rather have the studio versions.

Not expecting to enjoy this much, but here goes... I have to say i slipped through songs I already knew. Show Some Respect is a straight ripoff of the Nutbush City Limits beat. Let’s Stay Together is OK, i guess. Steel Claw is Tina does Meat Loaf.

Could have reviewed this blind, having listened to the LP a hundred times. Great MOTR rock, not really dated since it came out in the 80s.

Didn't get all the way through the album, but what I heard was...OK. I'm sure in 1969 it was radical, but half of it sounded like they wanted to be the Rolling Stones.

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. For me the archetypal Kraftwerk album is Autobahn, but this is a very close second. Your can’t beat zoning out to this.

OK. I'm a 12 yr old schoolboy and I'm writing shit lyrics with my two friends, and then someone offers us the chance to put them over 4 million samples and make a record. Cool! There's some great sampling work in this - can't believe at one point I found myself thinking, "Is that really a bit of Musique du Burundi??". But none of it makes up for the fact that the songs, as with all Beastie Boys songs, are puerile garbage. I hated this so much. I'll reluctantly give it one star for the samples, and because I can't give it zero. It also explains why I hate Lonely Island so much, because this is all I hear.

I didn’t mind this, but it’s pretty forgettable. There seems to be a swathe of artists currently who, to me, make basically the same sound.

Not really my wheelhouse, but I didn't mind it. Better than the Beastie Boys by a country mile.

That was pretty good, heard a bunch of the tracks before obviously, but I liked the last two tracks.

What can you say. An album I can listen while wandering round the house, as I’ve committed so much of it to memory.

Well I loved this, but then I was always going to. Bit of Dolly Parton, bit of Oh Brother Where Art Thou, fabulous.

I would not recommend This album to anyone of an anxious disposition. Having said that, I’m loving it. The first track starts as an Autobahn ripoff, but then goes darker. Just had a thought - if you’ve ever played the board game Mind Management, this is the audio version. Or that might just be me.

Wasn’t so keen on the title track but I liked some of these songs. Some are reminiscent of early Talking Heads.

Not a massive fan of this one. Ray Charles does Frank Sinatra? No thanks. I'm not ashamed to say I listened to about 30 seconds of each song before skipping on. It's really bland.

Looking them up on Wikipedia: they sound really up themselves. Listening to this album: they sound really up themselves.

Hmmm, wonder what this is like... I was always going to fanboy over this album. I love it, particularly The Big Country, which to me is up there with Take Me To The river.

Why does this website insist on linking you to expanded versions? So I’m listening to the standard version of this album instead. It’s never struck me before how country Lynyrd Skynyrd are; I don’t have a lot of time for country music, but I love this. Would you call it kinda country blues? The first time i heard it would have been sixth year at school, so…1978? A friend brought it in to play on the common room record player. Anyway, top choice. It might be over 50 years old but it fits beautifully with the current music scene.

Well that was…OK. For lift music. There wasn’t a track on this album that couldn’t have been done better by Ska Cubano.

This was very of its time, lots of prog rock noodling and faux national pride. The music felt quite Mike Oldfield to me, and like Mike Oldfield it’s much better when people aren’t singing over it.

Before this, my experience of Massive Attack was Unfinished Sympathy. I now see what I’ve been missing out on. Loved all of this.

As with so many John Lydon projects, this would be better without John Lydon. Seriously, the guy’s a dick. I can see how this was a classic of its time, but I can’t get past what I know of the lead singer.

This is kinda jazzed up Young Marble Giants. It’s OK but not totally for me. Makes me tired.

I’m not sure I’ve ever listened to this album completely before, just heard the classics. And they are classics. Perfect album for listening to while chilling out in the bath.

Never been a fan of George, but I’m not too partisan about it, he’s just…there.

An album with an overarching storyline? What a concept.

Didn't know what to expect from this, but I didn't mind it. Skirted far enough away from country to be acceptable!

I’ve forgotten how long ago it was that I last listened to this completely, but almost all the songs are ingrained in my head. The first of these albums that I’ve listened to straight through twice. I would give it 5, but I’m docking a point for Van being a douche.

Yep, that's some interchangeable britpop right there. Better than Oasis, but for me that's not a high bar.

Well that was underwhelming. David should have kept his song to himself and let them be consigned to the scrapheap of history. Harsh but fair.

Until today War just meant Low Rider to me, but I like this. Great accompaniment to housework!
