Good but not overly memorable album. I got massive Phil Collins vibes from it throughout.

I am fucking gutted. I found out the news yesterday and honestly I shed a tear. Ozzy and Sabbath have been a constant in my life since I was a teenager. Metallica were the first metal band I ever heard but I can easily go months or even years without really listening to them. Sabbath were the first Metal band that I loved and in 25 years I’ve never stopped listening to them and I can’t imagine I ever will. Onto the album, it’s one of the great debuts of all time and definitely one of the most influential albums ever made. This was the first album of theirs that I owned and I was instantly hooked. Top Track - Black Sabbath R.I.P Ozzy 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Hated this. Unfathomably dull.

Bawitdaba is a banger but the rest of the album is truly terrible.

Some really good songs on here but would’ve enjoyed it a lot more if they edited it down to one single album

So many classic songs on one album. Absolutely love it.

It would be easy to focus on the hits but the album as a whole is outstanding. No filler or duds, it shows why Bob Marley is such a legend.

This would’ve been a 5 star but my God Sex Machine drags. Way too long a song and completely killed my interest. Take that away and it’s an amazing album.

I would honestly argue this is the best album of the 90’s and up there with the best of all time. It’s faultless.

Not a terrible album but nothing really stood out to me. Quite forgettable tbh.

This wasn’t for me. If you’re into big band I’m sure this is a masterpiece but it took a lot to finish this past track 4.

Really liked this one. It may be sacrilege but the main reason it’s not a 5 is because as good an album as this is I prefer Blossoms and Rick Astley singing The Smiths to the actual Smiths.

Loved every second of this. What an album.

A couple of decent tracks on here but quite dull for the most part.

I had to get this score changed . HATED this on the first listen but gave it another go and now it’s one of my favourite discoveries from the list

Amazing voice. Way way way too long of an album to keep my interest. I reckon if u pick the top 10-12 tracks of this on their own you would have a 4-5 star album.

Really enjoyed this one. TTABEFTBOU is a classic but the rest of the album definitely holds its own.

Bawitdaba is a banger but the rest of the album is truly terrible.

I honestly hated every second of this. His voice is shocking.

Really enjoyed this. Had only heard Psycho Killer before but the rest of the album holds its own as well.

Unbelievable album. Loved every track. Some amazing guitar riffs.

Outstanding album. The title track is an absolute classic but the rest of the album holds its own.

Very middle of the road. Nothing terrible but apart from La Grange nothing memorable either.

Enjoyable album, a few tracks didn’t quite do it for me but there was nothing bad on here.

Take away the vocals and this would be a far better album. Some interesting instrumentals but can’t get the singing.

Some really great songs on here. Really enjoyable album. Will be keeping it saved in my regular rotation.

Was really enjoying this up until about the 45 minute mark then it started to drag big style. Some really catchy songs but it massively outstays its welcome.

A few really good tracks but the rest was very middle of the road

Some amazing tracks on here. I don’t think you can stop and start this and get the most out of it. I could potentially ask for this score to be changed at a later date as I think they are a band you need to be in a certain mood for.

Really surprised how much I enjoyed this. Unbelievable album

Nothing really to write home about with this one. Couple of decent tracks save it from being a 1

Take away superstition and this is a one star. Very disappointing album, whole thing sounds very flat.

Personally this album was good but doesn’t live up to its legend. Probably a generational thing, it maybe suffers from me having heard everything it has inspired and then has improved on. Undoubtedly though one of the most important and inspirational albums of all time

Kinda sad to listen to tbh. Syd clearly wasn’t in a good place during this. Still has a couple of good tracks but with his talent that is inevitable.

Love this album, love Gorillaz. Clint Eastwood is a BANGER

Alright album. Nothing spectacular on here.

Hated this. Unfathomably dull.

Really fun album, surprised how much I enjoyed this one. Some really catchy songs on here

Really good album. Smoke on the Water suffers from decades of oversaturation.

I’d say 4 really good tracks on here. The rest aren’t bad just average compared the albums best.

I hated this album from beginning to end. Awful singing, bland guitar. Simply terrible.

Interesting album. I think it needs a few listens to get the most out of it.

Found it kinda disappointing in the end. Started off good but dropped off massively. I liked this one years ago but tastes have changed since.

Really good album. Not the biggest Hip Hop fan but these guys are legends.

Loved it. Decided it was 5star by track 3. This should be much more widely known than it is.

Started very good but started to lose interest halfway through. Not terrible, not memorable. Very solid

Terribly dull album. Whole lot of nothing going on with it.

An album of two halves. I was loving this, to the point where it was maybe getting a 5, up until San Jose then it went downhill from there. Power of love pulled it back but an album that definitely could’ve done with being a good 20 minutes shorter.

Loved every second of this. Really surprised how much I enjoyed it.

Absolute classic album. Hard to find any fault in it.

Smashing Pumpkins at their very best. Phenomenal album. Love it from start to finish.

Really enjoyed it. Almost a 5 but didn’t have that one track to push it over the wdge

A decent half hour album dragged out way too long to the point where I was begging it to end. Love Talking Heads so was sooo disappointed with this.

OUTSTANDING album. Loved it from beginning to end. Only knew 2-3 songs from T-Rex before this and I wish I had have checked them out sooner. 70 albums in and so far this is my favourite.

Love this album and love The Beatles but I gave The White Album 5 and while good this isn’t on that level so it’s a 4 but a high 4.

Some classic Christmas tunes on here

Some good songs but do not like the vocals. Would be interested to hear another singer cover some of these.

Decent album, some good tracks but others are like elevator music.

Couple of good tracks but dull for the most part

Very dull album. Struggled to keep my attention at the end. Bonny and When Love Breaks Down were ok and save it from being a 1

The Stones have never done much for me but after a couple of tracks I really got into this.

Amazing album. Enjoyed every track. Never knew much about Supergrass apart from Alright but will be checking out more.

My knowledge of reggae is minimal at best but I really liked this one. Ended up listening to it twice in a row

Absolute classic album. Sadly over 25 years later it’s political message is still relevant

My favourite and imo the best Zeppelin album. IV is obviously the most famous because it has Stairway to Heaven on it but as an overall album I think this is vastly superior.

One of my favourite albums. Bought it on release day and have loved it ever since. Arcade Fires first three albums are one of the great run of albums in history.

Thrash metal isn’t really my thing but there’s some good stuff on here.

Classic album. Bowies best in my opinion. Not a bad track on here.

One of the most iconic albums of all time. An absolute classic

Giving this a 4 but the gap between 4 and 5 is razor thin. Brilliant album, the female vocalist in particular has an amazing voice.

Apart from the first track nothing really stood out. Nothing terrible on here but just some quite generic punk.

One of my favourite live albums ever. Love the rawness of it, it isn’t polished in the studio like most live albums.

Had very low expectations but this wasn’t that bad in the end. Black Cat is a banger.

First couple of tracks were good but the rest was hard work to get through.

Great album, not their best but still very good with a couple of absolute classics on here.

What an album. Brilliant from start to finish. Massive Beatles influences throughout.

Cyprus Avenue is a good song but apart from that a very dull album. Did nothing for me.

Terrible album. Couldn’t wait for it to end.

A very good album, after all I don’t think there is such a thing as a bad David Bowie album. In saying that it isn’t in that upper tier with the likes of Low or Ziggy Stardust but still brilliant.

Sounds a lot like 90s video game music

All time classic album. You can hear where so many have taken influence from it.

Jailbreak is a banger but apart from that the album was mostly dull. I was quite bored by the end of it.

Bloody brilliant album. Enjoyed it on the first listen. Loved it on the second.

Very good album from a very underrated band.

Really struggled to get through this one. It wasn’t bad per se, I just found it boring.

I’ve never liked this album as much as Marshall Mathers LP onwards but still there’s some really good tracks on here.

I hate this album. It’s not the worst I’ve had on the list but definitely in the bottom 3

Absolute masterpiece of an album.

Some really good songs on here but would’ve enjoyed it a lot more if they edited it down to one single album

Nothing terrible on here but a few pretty good tracks

Not the best Sabbath album but still very good. It’s good to hear the original version of Changes rather than the God awful version with Kelly Osbourne.

Painfully generic and utterly forgettable. Half an hour after finishing it I genuinely struggled to remember anything about it

I’m not the biggest Green Day fan but this album was a favourite when it originally came out. Been forever since I’ve listened to it in full but it still holds up to this day.

This is, without exaggeration, the absolute worst album I have EVER heard. There is not a single redeeming quality, it is actually a marvel how truly terrible this really is. The track Graveyard made me want to launch my headphones halfway through. Ironically by the end of the track I envied the dead, they didn’t have to hear this. This is only getting 1 ⭐️ because the system makes me give it so. In my headspace it is Minus 5 Stars.

Alright album, nothing terrible but nothing overly memorable either. I enjoyed it but am unlikely to revisit it.

Absolute banger of an album

She has a good voice but not my kinda music. Liked one song which saved this from being a 1⭐️

I enjoyed this but think it’s a grower. A few more listens and I could see myself bumping it up a star.

Love this album, from the first time I saw the video for Tonight, Tonight on Kerrang (R.I.P Kerrang) to now it’s always been in my album rotation.

Brilliant album. Played it three times today. I’m loving discovering acts like this that I had never heard of.

Some good songs on here but quite a few descended into background music.

An alright album that doesn’t lend itself well to this format. I think you’ll get more out of it with listening a few times.

I’m not the biggest Jazz fan. This was a challenging listen in parts but there was some good in here too.

I don’t like Jazz but I loved this. Brilliant album

Outstanding album. I only knew of Brain Wilsons solo stuff but in my opinion this is better than anything Brian did as a solo.

Hated it, awful singing, abrasive guitar work. Just bad

Good album but not as good as I remember it being. Under The Bridge is an all time classic song.

Probably my favourite album ever. It is faultless. John Squire might be the most underrated guitarist of all time. 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋

About 30 seconds in I was very dubious and this one but holy crap what an album. Stunned me how much I enjoyed it

She has a good voice but the music itself bored me by the end. Not terrible by any means just not for me.

A couple of good tracks on here but far from their best album

Beautiful voice, the only thing stopping this from a top score was the song One More Dance. I hated that one

Not bad but terribly average. Absolutely nothing memorable at all here

I’ve never liked U2, I honestly don’t get their appeal. That was until today, this album is bloody brilliant. I wouldn’t say I’m a fan now but I am willing to give them a go.

A few really good songs on here, Sharp Dressed Man is an absolute classic, but I thought it dropped off after Legs and nothing really stood out.

A pretty fun album that could’ve done with being a couple of tracks shorter or a bit more variance. It did get very samey by the end

Phenomenal, PHENOMENAL album. Maybe the best I’ve had so far. The word masterpiece gets thrown around all too casually but I think it’s entirely appropriate for this one.

Painfully dull album. Just under 40 mins of background music.

Decent enough album, some good guitar riffs. Vocals let it down though.

Couple of good songs on here but nothing special

Me 138 days ago: An hour long piano album?! Why the hell would I listen to that? Me when this generated: This sounds awesome! Bring it on. This album was brilliant and really shows how my tastes have changed since starting this project.

Pretty disappointed with this one. Didn’t do much for me at all.

Pretty good, held my interest all the way through. Far from the best rap album I’ve ever heard though.

PHENOMENAL ALBUM. The Boxer literally gave me goosebumps. One of the best I’ve heard so far.

Good but not overly memorable album. I got massive Phil Collins vibes from it throughout.

Overall a brilliant album. Only thing stopping it from getting all 5 stars is I thought Moonchild was quite boring.

Amazing voice but it’s just not my kinda music

Decent enough album without being anything spectacular. I almost wish I hadn’t liked it so I could describe Garbage by Garbage as Garbage.

This was going to be a one star until Reward. I loved that and everything after so it got bumped up a couple of stars

Didn’t like the first track, was dreading the next 40 minutes. Then Another Girl, Another Planet came on and it is an absolute BANGER. The rest of the album while good doesn’t hit that same high but still a really good listen overall.

Epic and massively over the top. I really loved it.

It took a second listen for the first couple of songs to click with me but after that I really enjoyed this one. It was nice to learn what Lynyrd Skynyrd were referring to in regards to Southern Man.

I’ll never forget hearing Enter Sandman as a kid and it was the coolest thing I had ever heard. That moment shaped my taste in music for the next 25 years after.

Hard to review this one. Had to listen on YouTube as it isn’t on Spotify. Even then I couldn’t find all the tracks so between that and the adverts it was hard to immerse myself in the album.

Outstanding album. It’s not up there with The Bends or Ok Computer but to be fair that is a very high bar.

I’ve always been, I would almost say snobby about ABBA. I kinda dismissed it as poppy bullshit. While I knew a lot of songs on here this was the first time properly listening to them. Boy have I been wrong. This was brilliant. Literally one song let it down meaning it didn’t get the full five stars but I actually feel harsh marking it down.

Never heard of this band before. Really good album. Giving fours stars but it’s razor thin between 4 and 5. Just lacking that one track that pushes it over the edge.

Wasn’t for me at all. If it wasn’t for Son of a Preacher Man it would be a 1⭐️

First listen I really enjoyed this, second time round a bit less so. Still some good tracks to be had though.

My God I hated this album. I honestly can’t think of one positive about it.

A couple of good songs but some of it very middle of the road as well.

Really good album, would’ve been a 5⭐️ if not for the B-Boy Bouillabaisse at the end. It didn’t do much for me

My God did I hate this album. This might be the worst one yet. Awful, terrible,

Bloody brilliant album. Fast becoming a fan of Neil Young.

One of my all time favourites. Pity none of their subsequent albums reached this level.

I’ve never been too fussed on Springsteen but this album was PHENOMENAL. Not at all what I was expecting. Hopefully he has more on the list of this quality.

Took a couple of lessons to click with me. Really good album. Some of the instrumental songs are amazing.

Really good album, very close to being top scores. It was just missing that almighty banger of a song to tip it over the edge.

Brilliant album. I’m becoming a big fan of S&G through this list.

Not the biggest Aerosmith fan. This was alright I guess. Nothing brilliant, nothing terrible.

Brilliant album for the most part. A couple of tracks towards the end were kinda middle of the road which cost it full marks.

Nice slice of teenage nostalgia here. I had settled on giving a high 4 star but then Basket Case came on and not only is it a classic, it is an all time BANGER.

Great album but as a whole didn’t quite reach the heights to give 5⭐️

Really good album, to be honest was not expecting much from it. Genius of Love is bloody brilliant.

Good album but I won’t be rushing to revisit it.

Brilliant album. I had always dismissed Springsteen but after two albums of his I am changing my mind.

A classic album but it is insanity that this is on here and Quadrophenia isn’t.

First four tracks were banging. If it kept that quality it’s easily a 4-5 star. Unfortunately it dipped after that and I HATED Brown Eyes and everything that cane after.

Really good album but there are better ones to come from The Clash

Not a fan of country but a good album if you are

Really good album. Cocaine Blues is absolutely brilliant

Brilliant album, one of the best post-Beatles albums out there.

Really good album, it was one track away from getting full stars

Was not expecting to love this album so much. It is absolutely brilliant.

Brilliant for 3/4 of the album but it really started to drag towards the end. Such a pity, shave 10 minutes off of this and it would’ve been in my overall Top 10

A proper chill out album. It lacked an absolute banger of a song to get all 5 stars bit still a very good album.

Outstanding album, absolutely brilliant. Get big Ali Farka Touré vibes from it. One of the best I’ve had in a while.

Brilliant album containing arguably the greatest song of all time

Good early punk album. Enjoyable enough without having an outstanding track on here.

Really good album, it would probably be a 5 but I don’t like their cover of You Really Got Me

Decent album. Not terrible, not brilliant.

Awful album. No redeeming features whatsoever

She has a great voice but it’s not my kinda music whatsoever

Brilliant album. That’s Entertainment is an all time classic track

Really good album. Had never heard the artist before, wouldn’t be against checking out some more of his stuff after this

Classic early punk album

Brilliant album. Puts me in mind of Funkadelic

Hated this at the start, eventually enjoyed it a bit but I could’ve done without the last two songs. The album was starting to drag by that point.

Absolute classic album. Packed with all time great songs.

On first listen I grew bored. Second listen I actively disliked it. I’m assuming given the band’s reputation that there is much better to come.

I hated The Gift but apart from that it was a decent enough album

Brilliant album, I’ve never heard Genesis before and definitely wasn’t expecting this.

Unbelievable album. My knowledge of Hip Hop is minimal at best but this is the best album I’ve ever heard in the genre.

Love the bluesy guitar work but cannot stand the vocals.

My God almighty this was dull. Was begging for it to end

Started really good but second half it dropped off massively

All time great album. Damn near every song on this is an absolute classic.

Not the biggest Country fan but this wasn’t that bad. Took me a couple of tracks to get into it though.

Couple of good tracks but mostly quite generic 80’s music.

First track is God awful. It does improve after that but still nothing remarkable.

Took me ages to realise it was King Louie from The Jungle Book. Really good album but not quite 5⭐️

Brilliant album. Wasn’t expecting much when it generated but really enjoyed this one.

Absolute classic album. So many brilliant songs on here

An album packed with Britpop classics. Take away the big hits though and the rest is very inconsistent .

I wasn’t fussed on the last couple of songs but until that it was brilliant. Will be checking out more of his work.

Brilliant album, I’ll be keeping this in my regular rotation for a while

As much as I like The Jam, Paul Wellers solo material has never clicked with me. I did enjoy this though so I will be more open minded listening to more of his stuff.

Really good album. Almost as good as It Takes a nation of millions to hold us back

Good enough album but not the best I’ve heard from Stevie Wonder. It’s lacking that mega stand out track, everything is kinda samey.

Really enjoyed this one which was surprising since I didn’t like the previous album, Sister, that I had from them.

Really good album. Not quite at the level of his work with S&G but very close

I HATED this. Truly hated it. This is potentially the worst album I have ever had the misfortune to listen to.

While I this isn’t my favourite Badly Drawn Boy album it is still brilliant. Been an age since I’ve listened to it but it will be in my regular rotation for a while now

Not bad per se but very unmemorable

Who’s Next - The Who A longtime favourite of mine. There’s so many classic tracks on here with no duds. Top Track - Either Behind Blue Eyes or Bargain

Such a frustrating album. At the start I was really enjoying it and thought it was a dead cert 4 or even 5 star. Then Mind Gardens came on and I didn’t like it one bit. The rest of the album was decent enough but I never got the enjoyment of the first part of the album back. Top Track - Have You Seen Her Face

I’ve always said I don’t like U2 but I got The Joshua Tree about a month ago and I really enjoyed it, even gave it 5 stars. This is my second album from them and while I didn’t enjoy it quite as much, it’s still bloody good. The line between a 4 and a 5 is razor thin. Top Track - I do hate going for cliche choices but it’s gotta be One. I need to work out at what point do I change my tune and say I like U2 lol.

I really loved this album for the most part but I had the same problem that I had with their debut album in that there is just that one track that I do not like one bit. Take I’ll Wait off this album and it’s a definite five stars. Top Track - House Of Pain

I’m pretty sure this was the first live album I ever owned. I’ve listened to the studio versions of all these songs countless times so I always enjoy the different take you get of them on here. Up there with my favourite live albums ever. Top Track - One

I struggled to score this one. While there were a few tracks I really liked, there were also more than it’s fair share of duds and I really started to lose interest during them. Top Track - …Mad Cyril

Apart from Work It there was nothing that overly stood out for me. It wasn’t terrible or anything but it’s one of those albums I will have forgotten I listened to in a couple of weeks. Top Track - Work It

Absolutely BRILLIANT album. I remember years ago when I first heard it I didn’t really like it but I grew to appreciate it over time. OK Computer will always be my favourite Radiohead album but this is a very close second. Top Track - Either Idoteque or How To Disappear Completely

I gave it a good go but it’s just not my type of thing whatsoever. Some of the songs reminded me of the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack but maybe that’s a result of having kids and listening to a lot of Disney music. Top Track - Désespoir for the sole reason that I found the opening really cheesy and it made me laugh.

This is a bona fide MASTERPIECE, it is simply brilliant. I’m not actually the biggest Fleetwood Mac fan but I do love this album. I honestly can’t fault it. Top Track - So many to choose from but either The Chain or Never Going Back Again

A really enjoyable album, I am fast becoming a fan of late 80’s / early 90’s Hip Hop. While there aren’t any bad songs on here it was missing some ineffable element that would make me give all five stars. Top Track - Can I Kick It?

Before starting this I would’ve never listened to a Jazz album and, despite it being listed as one of my worst genres on the site, I have found a few that I have really liked and given 5 stars to. This however is not one of them. I got bored of this pretty quickly which is not good for a 2+ hour album. I never got to the point where I would say I hated it but by the end I was barely paying attention to it. I don’t doubt that if you are into Jazz this is probably brilliant but it just wasn’t one for me.

This one is a really easy listen but beyond 2-3 tracks there isn’t that much that particularly stands out. It’s very much a middle of the road but solid album. Top Track - Steamroller

I got Swordfishtrombones a while back and I truly hated it but I actually quite enjoyed this one. It did take me a couple of tracks to get into it but that might’ve been a hangover from not liking his previous one. I will definitely give this another listen and if he has any more on here I will be a lot more open minded. Top Track - Jersey Girl

Honestly this one didn’t do anything for me, nothing at all stood out on it. I normally give every album at least two listens but I have zero desire to give this another go.

I thought Lauryn Hill yesterday was boring but holy crap that was Abbey Road compared to this. This might be the first album where I question why it is on here. As much as I hate The Butthole Surfers at least there was creativity there. This is remarkably unremarkable in every way.

Pointing out the obvious first, she has an amazing voice. Overall the album has the one unbelievable track and the rest is pretty good but never comes close to matching it. I did enjoy it but at the same time I couldn’t see myself listening to it all the way through again. Top Track - Cliche time, Nothing Compares 2 U

Bloody BRILLIANT album, I really loved this one. Another new discovery I had never heard of before and will be definitely listening to a lot more of. Top Track - My Girl

I’m actually really surprised how much I enjoyed this one. I know of Tears For Fears but have never listened to them before and I had them down as just being another generic 80’s band. This however was brilliant with one exception, I didn’t like the song I Believe at all. Gave it two goes and I just doesn’t click with me. Top Track - Everybody Wants To Rule The World

First couple of songs, didn’t like this then I got to The Light and I thought ok this is hopefully improving. Turns out that was the only song on here I enjoyed. Overall hated it, felt like it went on for an eternity.

No other way to describe him, the man was a genius. I’m pretty new to The Beach Boys, I knew the odd song but the first time I properly listened to them was when I generated Pet Sounds a couple of months ago. It completely blew me away. I had that same feeling today with Smile. It is a stunning album. Top Track - Cabin Essence R.I.P

Bloody hell it must be at least a decade since I last listened to this. I LOVED this when it originally came out. I used to be a massive Muse fan until, I have no idea why, I seemed to just stop listening to them. I really enjoyed revisiting this and I am 100% going on a Muse binge tonight. Top Track - City Of Delusion Hopefully Absolution is on this list cause it’s even better.

I’ve never gone out of my way to listen to a Madonna song before today and from what I have heard here and there down the years I’ve never understood her appeal. After listening to this I still don’t get it. The title track and Frozen are good enough songs but nothing special and the album as a whole I found kinda dull. Top Track - Frozen

I’ve been really hit or miss with Jazz so far but this is the first one where I find myself somewhere in the middle. I did enjoy it but nothing on it blew me away and I’m unlikely ever to revisit it. I will say though that I think if it was 10-15 minutes longer I would’ve started to get tired of it so at least it didn’t outstay its welcome.

I like Queen but when I say that if I listen to Queen it’s their Greatest Hits or a Spotify playlist. Obviously Killer Queen is an absolute classic but I honestly don’t think there’s another track that I can say I really rated that highly. It isn’t terrible it’s just meh. Top Track - Killer Queen

Five songs in and I was loving life and this was a sure fire 5 star. Then there was the back to back of Charlotte Street and 2cv which really did bore me. Luckily the rest of the album picked up again but those two songs are keeping it from top marks. Top Track - Four Flights Up

I got this one ages ago when I was doing this solo and didn’t like it at all, it was a 1 star. I actually revisited this a few weeks ago after I gave Daydream Nation 5 stars and it definitely clicked with me second time around. Listening to it today and again I really enjoyed it although not quite as much as Daydream Nation. Top Track - Hot Wire My Heart

Holy Crap this was BORING . I’m struggling to write much about it as I found it so unbelievably uninteresting. If I was to rank my bottom five so far this would certainly be in it.

While I admittedly don’t listen to a lot of rap music I did actually buy Dr Dre’s 2001 back when I started listening to Eminem and I really liked it so there was high hopes for this one. Unfortunately while I liked a few tracks, overall this wasn’t for me. There wasn’t anything that was really bad, it’s just that even the tracks I liked weren’t anything spectacular. Top Track - Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat

My last couple of Jazz albums have ranged from middling to boring so I’m glad to get a really enjoyable one here. Only negative is that I didn’t really like the final track Ingoo Pow Pow and that’s all that’s stopping me giving this full marks. Top Track - The Big Apple

I’ve never listened to this one before today but down the years I’ve heard so many people rave about it. It was good, I enjoyed listening to it but at the same time it didn’t exactly blow me away. I think it’s a grower though so I will give it a few more goes. Top Track - Pedestal

Up The Irons!! Love me some Iron Maiden but been an age since I’ve listened to them so I was very glad to get this today. This is one of the all time great debut albums. There’s some absolute classics on here. To be honest when you think of songs like Phantom of The Opera and Iron Maiden that have been part of their live sets for decades, I actually prefer Paul Di’Anno’s more raw vocals on them. Top Track - Strange World I can’t believe there’s only two Maiden albums on here so that’s me done with them already. Need to make a list of 1001 Metal Albums lol.

For 46 minutes of this album I was unbelievably bored and it had 1 star written all over it. Then the final track Dear God came on and it is bloody brilliant. Why the hell couldn’t the rest of the album be like that?

I absolutely LOVE this. It’s by far my favourite of any of The Beatles solo albums. There are so many brilliant tracks on here. I actually only listened to this a few days ago but I had zero objections to giving it another go today. Top Track(s) - Wah-Wah, My Sweet Lord, Awaiting On You All, bloody hell I could stick half the album on here lol

This might rival Gold by Ryan Adams as the most boring album I’ve had so far. It was completely unremarkable in every way. Seriously I’m writing this and I cannot remember anything about this album.

I’m not the biggest rap fan ever but this has been a favourite of mine since its original release. It’s main weakness, and this seems to be a trope of the genre, is that I could quite happily live without the skits. Top Track - Stan

I love me some Hendrix but when I say that I always listen to the hits. Listening to a studio album, I’ll be honest, massively disappointed. Apart from a couple of tracks it didn’t do anything for me at all. Top Track - If 6 Was 9

Really good album. I can’t fault anything about it but at the same time it’s missing some element that would push it to full marks. Top Track - Persephone

Really enjoyable album for the most part. There’s a few tracks that need a couple of listens. He has an amazing voice though. Top Track - Cry To Me

I found this one unbelievably dull. It wasn’t bad but absolutely nothing stood out to me.

The first Queen album I’ve really enjoyed from start to finish. Absolutely brilliant. Top Track - Obviously Bohemian Rhapsody speaks for itself but I really enjoyed The Prophet’s Song

I only know of Ray Charles from The Blues Brothers so I was expecting an album like Shake Your Tail Feather from the movie. It maybe a tad unfair but since there was nothing like that on here I ended up feeling really disappointed with this one.

If you had told me at the start of this that I would be giving Sister Sledge 5 stars I would’ve thought you were on crack but here we are. This is bloody brilliant, an absolute BANGER of an album. Top Track - He’s The Greatest Dancer

I didn’t mind this to start with but then it just kept going on and on and on and on. A couple of times I didn’t realise one song had ended and another had started as they sounded so similar.

Really strong start to this one but fell off a cliff at the halfway point. I do struggle with Blur. I like the singles but beyond that there’s very little of interest to me.

Enjoyable album but nothing spectacular. Very good background music

I haven’t heard this one in years, loved it when it originally came out and really enjoyed revisiting it today. There’s not one song on this one that I didn’t enjoy. Top Track - Remember Me

First three songs I was absolutely hating life with this one. It picked up a bit with A Sailors Life but even after that there wasn’t anything I was overly fussed on. For the most part I couldn’t stand the singers voice. Also a side note, potentially the worst album cover I’ve ever seen

All I’ve ever heard from the band is Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve) and to be honest I always thought they had just been a one hit wonder. I really enjoyed this one, on the first listen it took a couple of songs to get into it but second time around I liked pretty much everything on it. In saying that while I liked everything it needed a couple more stand out songs to get full marks. Top Track - I Don’t Mind

BRILLIANT album, best album I’ve had in weeks. Genuinely can’t think of anything I didn’t like about it. I don’t remember ever listening to Yes before but I will definitely be checking out more of their albums. Top Track - Long Distance Runaround

My good streak continues with an absolute classic and one of the great debut albums of all time. This took me an extra bit of time to listen to as I ended up repeating Paradise City 4-5 times, BANGER of a song.

I really enjoyed this one for the most part but not enough to give it all 5 stars. I only got one listen in so maybe with a couple more it will go up. Top Track - Never Understand

Holy crap I LOVED THIS ALBUM. Absolutely brilliant and funky beyond words. I was fairly certain it was gonna be a 5 star before the end of track 1. Cannot find a single fault with it. Top Track - Give Up The Funk, belter of a song

I had heard of the band before without ever listening to them. It took me a couple of tracks to get into it but when it clicked with me I ended up really enjoying it. I definitely think it’s going to be a grower so could easily go up a star when I do my second listen later. Top Track - Debonair but I also really liked Brother Woodrow/Closing Prayer

This one wasn’t for me. I didn’t hate it or anything but there was nothing memorable about it. It very quickly became just background music.

I love The Blues Brothers, it took me a couple of tracks for the penny to drop that that’s where I recognised JLH from. As for the album itself, I really enjoyed it, some really good Blues guitar on here.

Comfortably Numb is by far my favourite Pink Floyd song. The guitar solo at the end is one of the truly great solos of all time. As for the rest of the album, and I can sense the downvotes lol, I don’t really like it. With a couple of exceptions I find it quite boring especially towards the end. Top Track - Comfortably Numb

Never listened to Kanye before, all I know of him is it sounds like he’s gone crazy in the last couple of years. For the most part I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. There were a couple of duds but the songs that I did enjoy were brilliant. Top Track - Lost In The World

Never heard of the band before but I will definitely be checking out more from them. Really enjoyed this one, the singer especially really stood out. Top Track - Lately

The Beatles are probably my favourite band but apart from George Harrison I’ve never been that fussed on checking out their solo work. That being said I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this all the way through until today. I bloody LOVED it. I kinda expected the title track to stand above everything else but there are great tracks right there way through. At some point I’m going to have to do a Beatles solo binge and see what else I’ve missed. Top Track - Jealous Guy

I’ve been really hit or miss with Jazz albums throughout this. My previous Miles Davis album, Birth of the Cool, I loved and gave it 5 stars. This one however I really struggled with. At some points I was really enjoying it, other times I hated it. Part of it might be listening to it in work. I will come back to it someday when I’ve listened to it in a more chilled setting.

I am fucking gutted. I found out the news yesterday and honestly I shed a tear. Ozzy and Sabbath have been a constant in my life since I was a teenager. Metallica were the first metal band I ever heard but I can easily go months or even years without really listening to them. Sabbath were the first Metal band that I loved and in 25 years I’ve never stopped listening to them and I can’t imagine I ever will. Onto the album, it’s one of the great debuts of all time and definitely one of the most influential albums ever made. This was the first album of theirs that I owned and I was instantly hooked. Top Track - Black Sabbath R.I.P Ozzy 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Never heard of the band before but this was bloody brilliant. I’m surprised it has such a low average rating. I’ll definitely be checking out some more of their stuff when I’m done with my Ozzy binge. Top Track - Re-Ignition

One of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. That being said, while I do really enjoy this album, it isn’t up there with the best I’ve had from the generator so far. I think that speaks more of the quality of albums I’ve had rather than a slight against this one.

Anthrax are a band that have never really done much for me and today’s album didn’t change that. It’s not bad or anything, I was quite enjoying it up to a point. It just didn’t hold my interest all the way through. Top Track - I Am The Law

First listen I absolutely HATED this one but on the second go, while it isn’t the best thing I’ve ever heard, it has it’s moments.

I enjoyed this one without being blown away by anything on here. There isn’t that absolute banger of a song that will stick in my memory. Foo Fighters are a band I always feel I should like more than I do. I enjoy them whenever I hear them but they aren’t a band I ever go out of my way to listen to. Top Track - Exhausted

All I’ve ever heard from New Order is the England World Cup song World In Motion and despite the lack of John Barnes rapping on here this album was BRILLIANT. There wasn’t one track I didn’t like. Top Track - This Time Of Night

As much as I do try to be open minded with every album, when this generated I was fully expecting to hate this one. Surprisingly I enjoyed it, it’s actually a really good album. The only thing stopping it from getting all five stars is I didn’t like the song We Never Change. I found it very dull. Top Track - Don’t Panic

This was a pain in the arse to get the correct version but when I did I really enjoyed it up until a point. It did wear out its welcome about 3/4 through.

My second Nick Drake album. I wasn’t that fussed on the previous one but this one was bloody brilliant. I couldn’t sleep last night so this was a very rare occasion where I could listen to the album on my own with zero distractions and I definitely think that made a difference. I’m going to give Bryter Layter another go at some point. Top Track - Know

Loved this one, a really good album. I didn’t know what to expect from it since my previous two albums from Davis have been a 5⭐️ and a 2⭐️ so I’m definitely hit or miss with him. I’ll be keeping this one saved for a while.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL album. One of the best new discoveries I’ve had in ages. This will rank very highly when I’ve finished the list Top Track - Hero

My run of good scores comes to an end, four five stars in my last five albums. There were 2-3 songs I kinda liked on here but nothing I overly enjoyed. The rest I found to be quite dull. I’ve listened to it twice and it’s very unlikely I will ever revisit it. Top Track - The Man’s Too Strong

This one took me a bit to get into but once I did I enjoyed it without being blown away by it. Top Track - Les Yper Sound

The White Stripes are one of those bands where I could name loads of their songs but I don’t think I’ve ever listened to an album of theirs in full. I really liked this one, there wasn’t a bad song on here. In saying that apart from Fell In Love With A Girl there wasn’t nothing I would say was that spectacular.

Overall quite disappointed with this one. Definitely my worst Bowie album so far. The instrumental tracks at the end genuinely bored me. Top Track - Sound And Vision

Really enjoyed this, was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think much of my previous Elvis album but this had some great tracks on it. Top Track - Trying To Get To You

Short and sweet, I HATED this one. Could not stand his voice.

I really liked this one, I’ve had electronica albums in the past where I’ve enjoyed the start but they’ve worn out their welcome by the end but this kept my attention all the way through. I’m gonna keep it saved and listen to it some night I’m off work. I think I will get even more out of it in a more relaxed environment.

About halfway through Chameleon I knew I was gonna like this album. The rest of the tracks were really good but didn’t hit the heights of the first one for me. Overall a really enjoyable album.

First few songs I wasn’t feeling this at all and was starting to tune out a bit. Then Hanging Out And Hung Up On The Line came on and I really enjoyed it. After that the album clicked with me and I ended up really liking it. Gave it a second listen later on and it clicked with me from the start. Top Track - Leperskin

When I saw the artist name my heart sunk, I thought my time had come for Trout Mask. Fortunately that can wait for another day. I was kinda hit or miss with this on the first listen. Second time though I absolutely loved it. Ended up giving it a third go straight after which annoyed my kids to no end, they HATED this. Overall a bloody brilliant album. Top Track - Dropout Boogie

Really good album, I ended up listening to it twice back to back. While I did enjoy the album it was missing something, and I can’t pinpoint what it is, for me to give it top marks. Top Track - Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are

An ok album without being anything overly memorable. I enjoyed it but I’m unlikely to ever revisit it

I’m Your Man - Leonard Cohen Jesus H Tap Dancing Christ I absolutely HATED this. Honestly it might be my least enjoyable album so far. Two Cohen albums so far and I am not a fan.

Pop music isn’t my thing but this was a decent enough listen. I liked some songs, I hated a few, I was indifferent to the rest. Top Track - Don’t Tell Me

I don’t really get the Stones. This was alright but nothing overly special and that’s always how I feel if I listen to them. Just doesn’t click with me

Great album. I don’t listen to rap music outside of this list but this is one of the best rap albums I’ve had so far. Top Track - Temptations

There were two songs I wasn’t that fussed on but I loved the rest. Really good album overall, she has a brilliant voice. Top Track - Half Moon

Really good album, just lacking an indescribable element for me to give it all 5 stars. It might need a couple more listens. Top Track - Blood On The Leaves

It’s really good and has some catchy songs without being anything outstanding. Still an enjoyable listen though

Mixed bag with this one. I was hating it until Borrowed Tune. Picked up after that with the odd track I wasn’t fussed on Top Track - Borrowed Tune

Love me some Suede. Brett Anderson is one of my favourite singers. One of my easier 5 stars. Top Track - The Wild Ones

I don’t like country music so when I saw the cover and album title and thought I would absolutely hate this. How wrong I was. This was bloody brilliant. Loved it. Top Track - Big Iron

Brilliant, peaceful album. I listened to it in work but I will make a point of giving it another listen in a more relaxed environment.

Pretty good album. I enjoyed the instrumental tracks a lot more than the ones with vocals. An entire album of instrumentals would’ve been a sure fire 5 stars Top Track - Smokey River

Listened to it twice and, while it had its moments, overall it didn’t do much for me. Both times it sort of faded into background music.

First time I’ve had the same artist back to back. A vast improvement on yesterday’s album. In saying that, they weren’t exactly bad but I wasn’t too fussed on the instrumental tracks. Take them out and I’m probably giving this a 5. Top Tracks - Pusherman and Freddies Dead

I’m not sure if I don’t like Bob Dylan or if I just have to be in a certain mood for him. I one starred Highway 61 but listened to it months later and it wasn’t as bad. Today I didn’t enjoy this one but maybe on another day it might hit differently. I can only score it on today though.

Bloody hell I hated this. Absolute slog to get through. All I know of them is Born Slippy which is an all time banger of a tune so I had high hopes for this. Instead I was left utterly bored and disappointed.

I was absolutely dreading this. The only song I know of Billy Joels is Uptown Girl and I cannot stand that one. Luckily enough though it isn’t on here and this album is bloody BRILLIANT . Genuinely surprised how much I liked it. Turns out I had actually heard Shes Always A Woman before but the Fyfe Dangerfield version, I just never realised it was a cover. Brilliant song but I do prefer the cover. Top Track -Scenes From An Italian Restaurant

Before I even hit play this was getting top marks from me. Love Alice Cooper, I really hope I can get to see him live someday before he calls it quits. As for the album, it’s brilliant. Cannot fault it at all. Top Track - I hate picking the cliche option but No More Mr. Nice Guy is a classic for a reason They said it best in Waynes World, We’re Not Worthy!

At the start I wasn’t feeling this one but after a few songs I started to get into it. Overall while I did like it but it’s not going to be one that I’m gonna revisit regularly . Top Track - Damaged II

Much like yesterday’s album I enjoyed this one without it really blowing me away. I only found out afterwards about the Bowie mix so later I’m gonna give that a listen and see if I feel differently about it. Top Track - Shake Appeal

I’ve never heard CCR outside of the big hits but I was really impressed with this one. Not a bad song on it. Only got one listen in today but I will definitely go back to it. Top Track - Bad Moon Rising The line between 4 and 5 is razor thin.

Nothing special on here, not bad enough for a one star but nothing memorable enough for a 3 or higher

Didn’t like this one. The talking sections were terrible and I never realised that Dexys did One Of Those Things, I HATE that song.

Took a bit to get into, at times it did come close to becoming background music but it always managed to pull me back and regain my interest. Overall I enjoyed it and definitely worth another few listens.

I don’t have much to say on this one. It’s an album that I listened to and I forgot about it while I was listening to it. Unbelievably beige.

After Sade yesterday it’s back to back blandness. The only song that I had any sort of feeling towards was Weather With You which I truly hate. The shop I used to work in had an in store radio which played it twice a day so I’ve heard it enough for a lifetime. Apart from that there was nothing terrible, nothing special, instantly forgettable.

I had his album Either Or a while back and it got 1 star, an unbelievably boring album. This however was brilliant, enjoyed it right the way through. I’ll be keeping this saved for a while

I know a couple of songs of theirs but The Offspring aren’t a band I’ve ever bothered to go out of my way to listen to. That’s gonna change after this, bloody loved it. Top Tracks - Come Out And Play and Something To Believe In
