My 1001 Albums Journey

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

2/5

Worse than I could imagine

Violent Femmes

3/5

Ahead of its time!

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

2/5

A surprisingly good chilly commute soundtrack but I will never willingly listen to this again

Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera

1/5

Proficient guitar playing but the only way I could tolerate this was by imagining I was torturing my sadistic directors with it Edit: quite like the ballady ones if I picture Mike Patton singing them

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

2/5

Loved the first song, but not sure I can do a whole album

Stardust

Willie Nelson

1/5

What’s the worst thing you can hear while you’re going down on Willie Nelson? “I’m not really Willie Nelson.”

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

2/5

Nice for a while, a bit samey

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

I don’t enjoyed this! They are good musicians

Virgin Suicides

Air

3/5

Track 4, I’m going to listen to Dear Prudence instead

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

David Bowie

4/5

There once was a man named Bowie Who was partial to a bit of go-ey He liked ‘em young But kept it fun, Don’t worry you’re too old, Zoe

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

1/5

Pretty grim 😂

Black Sabbath

1/5

I prefer Spinal Tap I’m 90% sure Tony Iommi came back to my house for a smoke in the 90s though

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Fab, reminds me of some seminal moments in my life

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

2/5

It’s okaaaay, I wish this was out of ten so I could go right in the middle with 5. I wanted to give her more points for covering Prince but Spotify says she gets nearly twice as many listeners a month and that made me angry. Sorry Cyndi

Back In Black

AC/DC

2/5

Couple of bangers but a bit shrieky

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

I don’t like live songs on albums so knocking it down a point, and I like it Ruffin so minus another point, but still pretty damn good in the GRAND scheme of things

Bad Company

1/5

Relatively competent, but a little soulless for some reason. I don’t believe he can’t get enough of their love and I don’t believe he’s ready for love, or he feels like making love either… The Coldplay of Hard Rock Super Groups? Also disappointed because I got them confused with BadBrains who I was quite looking forward to listening to

Ten

Pearl Jam

2/5

I felt more tender to this than I anticipated, stumped old age

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

1/5

Like Rudy Tchaikovsky on speed?

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Stone Cold Classic
