Stan Getz

5/5

As soon as this album was generated I knew it would be a good one. So incredibly feel good and chill. The guitar, the saxophone, the vocals. Perfect

4/5

Love love love the cure. Such a distinct moody sound with very reflective instrumental parts.

Odelay

Beck

3/5

Never listened to this album before and I really did enjoy it. Some songs I absolutely loved but others I just couldn’t get into. Spanned so many genres which was impressive but as an album felt a bit inconsistent

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

3/5

Listened to all non unplugged songs on this album and a few unplugged. It was nice to listen to it all together. Cobains vocals are so raw I love the contrast from what they usually sound like.

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

I’ve heard some songs by the offspring before and they’re pretty good. I would’ve loved this album when I was 15. It felt very very mid, nothing particularly special

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

2/5

Good album just not my cup of tea really.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Oh to be 20 tripping out to this at Woodstock 66. Hendrix is one of my all time favourite musicians and this album is one of his best.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

Heard a few of these songs before. I did like this but it was pretty average, nothing really stood out to me

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

Really beautiful album, I loved the quality of his voice. So gut wrenchingly beautiful.

The Undertones

Definitely paved the way for many modern bands today, some absolute classics in this album. Pretty solid

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

The Beatles! Need I say more? Not my personal favourite album but still some great tracks!

Heads will roll got me going in the library! There were so much better songs on the album which was nice

Superunknown

Soundgarden

2/5

This album was fine. I did enjoy but wouldn’t jump to listen to it again

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

Been really enjoying country and folk recently so this album really scratched that itch. There’s a good reason Bob Dylan is so famous! An almost perfect album

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

1/5

Some parts were pretty funky but the songs were just way too repetitive, it really didn’t hold my attention

Not really my type of music at all.

Portishead

3/5

I do quite like Portishead, pretty nice stuff

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

I can’t deny Stevie Wonder is a legend but this album just didn’t hit as much as I thought it would. Still good though!

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

1/5

I do really enjoy Rock and metal but this just wasn’t doing it for me.

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

I’ve always been aware of the kinks but never really listened to them that much. I didn’t realise how much they sounded like the Beatles! Good vibes

2/5

Björk is such a pub quiz answer. I wasn’t a huge fan of this but I see the vision

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

Loved the fusion of all the genres, jazz electronic music, reggae, soul, masterfully done. Sometimes music like this can get a bit repetitive which this was at point but not enough to be boring.

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Love a bit of R&B/Soul, I did enjoy this indeed

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

I wonder if the killers knew what a defining album they made. Some classic tunes on this album

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Stevie wonder has such a beautiful quality to his voice. Love him

3/5

Pretty good album and I love the pixies but not their best

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

This whole album felt like a prank I wasn’t too keen
