Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

Quite an interesting and peculiar album, not necessarily nice to listen to, but I can tell that there is some ambition behind it. Also it is cool that albums like this could be done at all.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Elephant by The White Stripes

Some really good songs especially Seven Nation Army and The Hardest Button to Button but there were also a couple of songs I didn't enjoy as much.

All Directions by The Temptations

Pleasant funk but nothing special

Da Capo by Love

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman

Sincere by Mj Cole

They call it House but I think it's Trash!

Play by Moby

I'm going to give Play by Moby a 4/5. I think it's a really good album, I was vibing while I was listening to it. It had some really good songs and I might be influenced by nostalgia but I was considering giving it a 5 for a while. It's not completely consistent though, there are a few times that are a bit boring tbh. Did enjoy it a lot though, listened to it two more times despite already knowing how I would taste it.

The Wall by Pink Floyd

One of my absolute favourite albums ever!

Hunting High And Low by a-ha

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie

I was at first a little bit unsure whether to give this a 4 or a 5 because it's a bit of an uneven album. There are songs that are absolutely amazing and then there are those I haven't even heard before. Finally I landed in giving it a 5 just by the fact that there are more great songs here than most artists have during their entire career.

xx by The xx

xx by The xx is very comfy, it's something you put on and just want to bathe in. I have listened to it a couple of times now and it's all very nice. The only singular tracks that I can recall is Shelter, but that is because Birdy made a cover of it. That version is much more traditional in that it doesn't have that vibe of ambience surrounding it as the original does. Anyway I can only give it a 4 because I feel like it's missing an edge somewhere, that might make it better but it might also take away what makes it great.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Queen II by Queen

In getting strong rock opera vibe from this one and it keeps getting better the further on it goes. Then, at the end, there is an actual banga time in Seven Seas of Rhye that in a way crowns the album. Reminds me a lot of the Flash Gordon soundtrack they did later on because that one isn't a "singles" album either

The Score by Fugees

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley

It's an OK album, it's just feels a bit tired

The Joshua Tree by U2

One of my favourite albums of all time.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen

Sulk by The Associates

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors

Really nice album, glad I across it

Illmatic by Nas

I understand that this album is held in high regard, but I don't understand it myself. Sure, it isn't bad but I think it's a bit boring.

Dirt by Alice In Chains

Gris Gris by Dr. John

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan

Smash by The Offspring

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz

The Doors by The Doors

Apple Venus Volume 1 by XTC

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

Feels more like political spoken word than rap. Not very relevant politics either so there is not that much value to it anymore, the style is also quite dated, but fine nonetheless . I do like "Television the Drug of the Nation" it's a good track.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea by PJ Harvey

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz

John Barleycorn Must Die by Traffic

It was a pleasant listen, nothing really stuck with me though. Got different vibes, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jesus Chist Superstar and perhaps Uriah Heep (the flutes).

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields

There are a few good songs on this album but most are just weird little dittys. Didn't finish it though because one of the tracks made me feel physically ill.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes

Blur by Blur

Blur by Blur has two big hits, Beetlebum and Song 2, but the rest of the album it pretty good too. Maybe they could have cut a couple of tracks from it and made it a bit more tight, but it's still really good altogether.

Parachutes by Coldplay

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile

The Clash by The Clash

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's

Marquee Moon by Television

My first reaction to this was "oh, this is budget Talking Heads" but it turned out to be an enjoyable album. I especially liked the titular track Marquee Moon.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin' by 50 Cent

Live At The Harlem Square Club by Sam Cooke

Slayed? by Slade

Revolver by Beatles

This is a lovely album, it makes me happy. All the songs are good!

1999 by Prince

A couple of good songs, a couple of ok ones but the rest just seems to be self indulgent jam sessions.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

It's an alright, pretty pleasant album

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield

Son of a Preacher Man is iconic of course, and The Windmills of the Mind is a good song too, but the rest of the songs don't really come close to that level. Nice in general... Nice but forgettable.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

Boston by Boston

Basket of Light by Pentangle

Diamond Life by Sade

Diamond Life by Sade was a very nice album, pleasant chill vibes. Made me think of smooth jazz or Bossa and had some of that 80s naivety about it. Only Smooth Operator stands out really, giving it a 3/5.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers

Shaft by Isaac Hayes

Aja by Steely Dan

The La's by The La's

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

The Libertines by The Libertines

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo

Made In Japan by Deep Purple

Imagine by John Lennon

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde by The Pharcyde

There was one or two decent songs there but didn't enjoy the style in general

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

The Cars by The Cars

Feels like dad rock that tries to be cool. It's pretty good though, despite that

Brothers by The Black Keys

Who Killed...... The Zutons? by The Zutons

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins

I can't give this album more than a 3. Yes, it has some very good songs on it, and I'm not only talking about the hits. The problem is partly that it is way too long, but also that it becomes a bit samey for me and the last few songs are so tired.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison

A very boring album that is also easy too long. I can understand why his fans would like to have a live album too listen to, but it does not belong on the 1001 albums list. Even if not considering the controversies that has surrounded him, this album doesn't deserve more than a 1

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra

A very nice and chill album, something to listen to in the wee small hours perhaps. I imagine a very late night, listening to this album on an old vinyl player, in a dark room, very much a vibe.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Nice and jazzy live album, Sarah Vaughn has a lovely voice. It seems like she has a good sense of humour as well.

The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd

One of my favourite albums of all

Boring, boring dad rock
