This album is nice and sounds great. The themes it touches on are powerful. I went in having only heard Fast Car and it’s still a great song. Overall this album wasn’t for me but can I still say it’s a good album, just probably not one I’d listen to again.

Some powerful statements in this album and a real insight into Compton. Another album that wasn’t for me as I’m not massively into rap but can understand it’s significance.

Got a couple of songs in and just wasn’t me for. Didn’t really like this one

Really enjoyed this one, was more my style. It was nice to explore a bit more of Cream having only previously heard Sunshine of Your Love

I was excited to get a Metallica album. I’ve listened to Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning and quite enjoyed both. I did not enjoy this one. All the songs just felt unnecessarily long and I found myself checking to see how long the song had left. They really dragged this one out and it didn’t really hit for me.

Pretty solid album for me. Some nice songs but nothing really stood out to me. Overall it was fine

Surprisingly good, really grew on me as the album went on. I went in expecting something new and different and it was very much what I got! Definitely one to listen to with good headphones to get the true effect of the various sounds that play throughout.

Another experimental album. Was relatively enjoyable but sometimes felt like background noise cause I tuned it out a bit. Solid album though

Pretty solid album. Nothing too exceptional for me, Clocks is one of their biggest songs and it’s the highlight of the album for me

A surprise to be sure but a welcome one. Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected, really enjoyed the vibe of this album, I really enjoy good classic country and this feels like a great example of that genre.

A very nice, chill Jazz record. Feels perfect chucking on whilst you're working or having it in the background. Miles Davis is great and this is a solid album!

Love a bit of Michael Jackson. This has some absolute bangers on it but it’s probably not quite my favourite MJ album. Still a great listen though!

Didn’t think this one was anything special, got a bit bored halfway through so not the greatest album on this list

Solid Christmas album, loses a star for Phil Spector because I don’t like him

Very different and interesting album. Some of the songs would’ve been right at home on a later Beatles album, really give a vibe of the Beatles at their most experimental or the Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd. Interesting stuff!

Pretty nice sounding album, I do like The Smiths and their sound. Nothing really stood out to me, the title track is as preachy as you'd expect and grated me a bit.

It's fine, Morrissey sounds pretty good but the album itself doesn't feel all that special. Interesting that I got the Smiths and then Morrissey straight after. Whilst the Smiths album doesn't lose a star for containing Morrissey, his solo album will.

Eh, pretty bland tbh. Another experimental noise album, another one that I tuned out of about halfway through. Nothing too impressive tbh

This was a fun one, I love a bit of Johnny Cash though most of my favourite songs by him weren't actually on this one except for Folsom Prison Blues. This was a really fun listen, I greatly enjoyed Johnny's banter with his unruly audience and the fun he was having. You could definitely tell this was live with his voice cracking and breaking at various points.

Yeah this one wasn’t it. Boring, uninteresting and Nico sounds awful. The backing music was okay but this is not an album anyone needs to hear before they die. In fact, if I had died before listening to this album, that would’ve actually been preferable.

The album grew on me as I went on. It initally felt a bit comical but after doing some research that was the roots of the Beastie Boys so that makes sense. Wasn't really for me this one tbh but I didn't think it was terrible.

Really nice sounding album, quite enjoyed this one. Nothing really stood out to me but it was a nice listen

I really liked this, only know a little about The Who which is mostly just their big hits including Pinball Wizard which is from this album. I'm a sucker for a good concept album and this album telling the life of Tommy was such a fun listen. Incredible album!

Surprisingly good. A lot of the instrumental songs reminded me of Pink Floyd which was a big plus. Overall, quite enjoyed this one!

Wow this album was incredibly good. I really liked Somebody to Love. The whole vibe of this album was great and I can see why it's in this list!

Wasn’t too bad, sounded pretty good. I like the Kinks but I felt there was nothing special about this album.

I do enjoy a good concept album telling a story but just couldn't really get into this one. Just felt really dreary and nothing really stood out to me.

I think for me this album falls into the same category as a fair few albums on this list. It didn’t blow me away but I didn’t hate it. It was just fine.

This felt very “I’m 14 and this is deep”. The messages were strong but I couldn’t stand the delivery. This isn’t really my genre so didn’t really enjoy it.

And I thought Tommy was good. This was even better, wow! I’d never much of the Who outside the two big songs on this album (Baba O’Reilly and Won’t Get Fooled Again) but the rest of the album is so good! A truly great album!

Nah this one wasn’t for me, could not wait for it to end. Genuinely one of the worst albums I’ve encountered so far.

Actually really enjoyed this. When I saw the album, I did get them confused with the Yardbirds but quickly realised they were a different band. This album sounded great and you can really their influence from the Beatles. Some of the guitar work would’ve fit right in on Beatles for Sale or Rubber Soul. Overall a very enjoyable album!

This has been the best album I’ve been given so far. I actually went and listened to it again I enjoyed it so much. It has three of my favourite Led Zeppelin songs on it being Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker and Ramble On. Of my top 5 Led Zeppelin songs, those three are all there. The rest of the album was just as good and felt like it had little to no lulls! A great album!

I thought it was okay. Was a solid live album but didn’t think it was all that good. Should really be 2 stars but they were sounded like a solid live band and had some good Hendrix vibes which bought them up a Star

Actually quite enjoyed this. Really gave me vibes of George Michael, Scissor Sisters and Robbie Williams. There was another artist this reminded me of and it took a bit for me to get it. I had the song in my head and eventually it clicked. Canned Heat which I then discovered was by Jamiroquai so turns out I had heard them before. This album was fun and funky, solid 4 stars from me!

Had Led Zeppelin II two days ago so wasn’t expecting Led Zeppelin III so soon. Led Zeppelin II blew me away but this one was a bit underwhelming. Immigrant Song is a banger way to start an album but it wasn’t quite as entertaining as Led Zeppelin II. It was still a solid album but probably because I had LZII so recently, it was hard to get that one out of my mind and I kept comparing it to that

This was a really solid album. Great vibe and it sounded great as well. I quite enjoyed thrasher, I love a good harmonica!

Immediately from the album cover I didn’t think I’d like it that much. Discovering it was Nick Cave gave me a bit more interest but overall not his best work. It sounds okay in parts but otherwise it’s just noise.

I’ve never listened to Marilyn Manson before. It took me 1 and a half songs to discover I never wanted to again. I left the album there and will not come back to it.

Was excited for Stones album. My dad is a massive fan but I’ve always been more of a Beatles guy. This was a great album, didn’t blow me away like the 5 star albums I’ve had so far but thoroughly enjoyed it. The opening and closing tracks are really good. Overall, a great listen!

I’m a massive Nirvana fan so you’d think I’d have checked out the other grunge bands making waves in the 90s. I know a little bit of Pearl Jam and one Soundgarden song but never listened to AIC before. They sound great and I can’t believe I’ve never checked them out. They’re a great mix of Nirvana and Pearl Jam and I’m a new fan! This was a really great listen, some really interesting lyrics and some great grunge sound!

This was a really fun listen, sounded great. They gave me vibes of stuff like The Clash which might be a cliche to say but they’re in that vain. Great album!

A god to guitar fans around the world, it’s surprise that Jimi Hendrix is someone I don’t really listen to much. This album was a lot of fun, Jimi was great on it and that meant his guitar playing was brilliant. Great album!

This album was never going to get less than 5 stars from me. George Harrison is my favourite Beatle and this is my favourite solo Beatle album (first one on the list so far that I’ve listened to before!). I maintain that this is the best solo Beatle album as well. It has so many great songs like My Sweet Lord, All Things Must Pass, What Is Life and Behind That Locked Door. You can see how many ideas George had had during his time with the Fab Four and this album really shows how far he had come as both a musician and songwriter, he was getting too good to not be taken seriously by John and Paul. A phenomenal album and my favourite so far!

Some nice 90s rock in this album. It was nothing special though, like it was just fine. Don’t know if there’s any outside history that warrants its being in this list, because it just sounds like an average 90s rock album. Overall, it’s another smack bang in the middle album.

Yeah nah this sucks. It’s just noise for 40 odd minutes, half of it doesn’t even really sound like music. Feet Music was okay but it’s very difficult to get through all the songs before it. Everything else was pretty much utter crap.

This was a great listen, it’s Otis Redding so it was a given before even going in. A lovely blues album this one, not much else to say really!

I had to find this one on YouTube and some of the songs were muted so I didn’t get the full experience. I did like it more than I expected as some it would make decent ambient music and honestly some good headphones, lying in the dark on my bed with this album would probably be pretty solid. Still though, seeing as the album is over 2 hours long this only boosts it from 1 star to 2.

I like the eastern instruments used in the album but the rest of it sucked

Mariah as expected sounds great, she has a phenomenal voice but unfortunately most of this album is pretty bland. There’s nothing exceptional about it except her voice which is being wasted on these tracks that all sound the same.

Like probably a lot of people, I only really know the Queen hits and whilst there are a couple on this album (including their biggest one), I was a bit let down by this. It was fine, Bohemian Rhapsody, You’re My Best Friend and Love of My Life were all great but most of it was just mid.

As a huge Nirvana fan, I know that Kurt was a big fan of the Pixies and they were influential on the band. This album was a lot of fun and it sounded great. Outside of track 2, which I didn’t really vibe with, I thoroughly every track on this album. Nothing was super special but as a whole it worked!

My dad loves this album so I was excited to see it pop up. I’ve never actually listened to it before and only know Anarchy in the UK. I gotta say, I was whelmed. It sounds good but it just didn’t blow me away

This was great fun. No idea what was being said but the tracks were bangers. Love a good bit of world music!

Try as I might, I’ve never really been able to get into Bowie. I like a handful of his songs but most of it just doesn’t appeal to me. Not to say this album is bad, Changes is great (though I think the cover for Shrek 2 that he appears on is better). Solid album but not for me
