In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Interesting listen. Has a definite vibe. Requires more listening

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

Needs more listening. Some standouts, very Britpop.

Moving Pictures

Rush

2/5

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

Some fairly uninteresting instrumental tracks and some uninspired rock tracks (on first listen anyway)

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

An album I was very familiar with beforehand, so can't compare to my other ratings really. I took this as an opportunity to listen to the mono mix for the first time and I liked the punch it has. Of course a fantastic and classic album but for me misses out on the fifth star just due to the amount I replay it compared to the albums I love most.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

A chill album for comfortable chill listen. I liked it

En-Tact

The Shamen

1/5

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

2/5

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

2/5

Not my thing but sounds like a decent reggae record

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

A comfortable listen. A bit ploddy at the start but it picks up towards the end. Not a fan of In the Ghetto (knew this one before) but I love Suspicious Minds

Beautiful Freak

Eels

3/5

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

3/5

Surprisingly enjoyable and honest

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

2/5

Pretty cringe lyrics but perhaps overall not as bad as expected

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Some cool gospel influences and despite the song variety, holds together nicely

Blur

4/5

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

2/5

Could have worse but unlikely to play again

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

3/5

Enjoyable listen - not normally within my musical remit but I would potentially revisit.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

Enjoyable

Purple Rain

Prince

3/5

Very 80's. Some great guitar work here

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

A chill and enjoyable listen

Opus Dei

Laibach

3/5

Strange but intriguing. A Queen cover in German in there threw me a bit of a curveball.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

3/5

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

5/5

Great album. Discs 1&2 contain 18 hits and 0 misses. Disc 3 is still enjoyable but should be viewed as a bonus rather than as part of the album

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

A fun listen and absolutely deserves its place on this list

Joan Baez

3/5

Not my cup of tea really but quite peaceful

Skylarking

XTC

3/5

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

4/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

New wave is not my thing, but not a bad listen overall

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

Music From Big Pink

The Band

4/5

Enjoyed more than I expected

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Sail Away

Randy Newman

4/5

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Enjoyed more than expected.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Great album, never listened to Deep Purple past Smoke On The Water but I enjoyed this a lot.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

4/5

Only ever heard of these guys because they supported Queen for a couple of tours in the '70s and their concert staple Now I'm Here is dedicated to Mott, but I'd never actually listened to anything they recorded. Enjoyed it a lot.
