Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

Cuban Jazz? Not sure how much it's jazz. Love the instrumentals, the ones with lyrics not as much. Instrumentals are more upbeat, lyric tunes are more ballady. I like Candela a lot though - tune with words

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

3/5

Very good, but not exactly my type of a thing. This is one of those albums where I had no idea how big it was at the time. It seems like almost every song is something I'm pretty sure I heard on some movie, TV commercial or TV show in the late 90's. Not sure if I'll go back to this but I do appreciate it

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

3/5

Old dirty, jangly punk rock that's just a bit too dirty and jangly. Not bad but not my fav

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

2/5

Interesting, I guess. But kinda slow and boring. Not my thing

Pelican West

Haircut 100

4/5

Very 80's, did not like it on 1st listen. 2nd listen proved much more enjoyable with the horns and the happiness

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

3/5

Meh, mid

Good stuff but it's a proven fact that drum machines are the devil so ya know.....

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

4/5

Love it! I definitely hear from this album the beginnings of the late 90's-early 00's emo sound

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Nothing really stands out to me on this. Nothing bad about it but it did nothing for me

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

2/5

The Byrds weren't that great to begin with and now I'm supposed to listen to a country version of them? No thanks. There are so many better versions of 60's country out there. This isn't one of them. I do love the album cover though!

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

4/5

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

4/5

Never heard of these guys before! Love the album and will definitely be listening to it again. Nothing too flashy here, just good old (not that old) indie rock similar to Franz Ferdinand or Cage the elephant

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

Don't need to listen to this again...but I will. An absolute classic that even (maybe especially) non-nirvana fans should give a listen. This is an album to fall in love with Kurt Covains voice

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

4/5

Instrumental all the way! No egotistical wierd singer hanging around too mess shit up!

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

1/5

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

All That You Can't Leave Behind

2/5

Nothing wrong with it. But really nothing great though. So far I would say this is the least worthy album to be on this essential listening list
