Sympathy with the Devil and Street Fighting Man are classics. I can generally take or leave the rest - it tends towards the bluesier, countrified sound of the Stones which was never my favourite side.

Lovely, whimsical. Think it needs repeat listens to fully appreciate but I like it a lot.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. I remember returning the CD back in 2004/5! Definitely front-loaded, but it holds up well and is just a fun listen all around.

Enjoyed this one. Great singing and arrangements, lots of fun. You don't really get a sense of the historical/racial significance while it plays, it goes down easily.

A tremendous album from start to finish. I love everything about it.

This is just a perfect album, fantastic highs but the whole thing is cohesive and varied. Amazing guitar playing throughout.

Want to listen again but this is great - heavier and more rocky than I'd expected. Title track is obviously phenomenal. Quite a unique structure of starting and ending with long tracks and having short punchy ones in between.

This has some great moments - I already loved Yeah Oh Yeah and the Book of Love especially - some of it washes over me. Some of it is almost purposefully annoying/kitsch, like Zebra or the boudoir/medieval track towards the end. I think it needs repeat listens for more songs to reveal themselves to me. All My Little Words, Promises of Eternity, Papa Was a Rodeo all have promise in this regard. But it's so long!

This is very much my thing - probably shouldn't be 5 stars because of 'Sentimental Journey', but I really really liked this one.

A beautiful record. I need to give this some more listens, but it's fantastic.

I can only imagine how mindblowing this record must have been at the time. Still a fun listen, though I don't think it has my favourite stuff of his.

Don't Think Twice is an absolute stunner, best song here. Hard Rain and Masters of War are great too, not sure if that's just familiarity speaking but they're heads and shoulders above everything else. Blowin in the Wind is great but overplayed so hard to hear it afresh. Harmonica and talking blues is definitely not for me on the whole.

I detested this. Self-indulgent, most songs are cheesy and boring to start with, then go about 2-3 minutes longer than they should.

I liked it, would listen again. The first track was great. Need to see that doc.

Brilliant. Their best. Know it well and remember buying it back in 2004! Maybe a bit underrated these days. They should have put the single version of This Fire on here instead though.

Very nostalgic, will always have strong memories associated with this one. Makes me think of friends and times gone by. Good.

This is incredible, what a record.

This is OK in parts. She has a good voice. But it's just really not my thing.

Great guitar playing throughout. Fewer great 'songs' than his best, but still a pleasure to listen to.

This is very good - benefits from me having heard it before as I think it could be a bit impenetrable otherwise. Sound and Vision is one of the best songs ever. Drums sound amazing throughout.

Loads of fun, great.

For some reason I wasn't that excited to get this one and am getting around to it about a month late. But I was a fool, it's very good and at least 4.5 stars. I'm rounding up.

Butt rock. Strutter is a banger but it's not on this one.

Heavier than I was expecting. Didn't stand out on a first listen.

Quite nice. Alegria Alegria stands out as a single. Was a bit hungover on first listen, so I should probably revisit.

This is very good - it's really well mixed, hits really hard and clearly.

I already know it's a 5, one of the GOATs. Listened to disk 2 which is also very good, though slight.

Listened to this the day after Odelay as I catch up. I much prefer the former, though I think this could be a grower.

I like it, it doesn't have my favourite/better known tracks by him, but it's very good recognisable within his style, if that makes any sense. I'm sure this will be a grower.

I put this one off for a long while but it was a very pleasant surprise. Starts off strong and strident, first two tracks are my faves. It's got a folky style I usually don't like but I appreciated this.

I love R.E.M., but I've never actually listened to this one in full and was a little disappointed on the whole. The production is a step down from the IRS records. But it still has to be at least 4 stars, as Orange Crush is on here.

Love this. Sounds immense. The singles are so good but the whole thing is unified and very enjoyable.

It's another 5 - can take them for granted but listening to the records they're just the best rock band going.

Could maybe be a 5. Sounds great production wise. Vocals obnoxious at times. Feels like a grower and know it's a classic, but a 4 for now.

Didn't hate this as much as I expected. I suppose as they're not as ubiquitous as they were when this came out. Made me ostalgic for 2008, first going to uni and them suddenly becoming massive. Still perhaps the shittiest set I've ever seen when touring this album though.

A bit like lift music.

I'm surprising myself by giving this a 5, but it's undeniable. Dad rock in its purest form.

Very good. Does sound a bit dated now, sound wise and also in some of the attitudes, but an enjoyable listen. The singles are massive high points.

It's county music

The first song (Yours Is No Disgrace) is pretty great. Definitely wears out it's welcome and actually becomes quite annoying by the end.

Odelay, but not as good. Had that Brazilian sounding track in my head for days

A perfect album. It's so varied and well executed. Obviously I'm a Prince megafan, but I finally get 'Adore', what a song. There are just absurdly good songs on here, and runs of songs.

This is a special record, amazing throughout. So influential. Great guitar playing, long and meanandering but also tight and without a wasted moment at the same time??

Thought this was on track for a 5 but it wavers at points. Extended version has way too many versions of Fu Gee La, why not remix something else? But I'm being unfair, it's very very good

Definitely can't take this all in one listen. Doesn't seem to have many songs and becomes a bit like a musical at points (The Trial). ABitW and Comfortably Numb are forever bangers. Maybe 3 will end up being harsh.

I need to give this repeat listens, but I can tell it's great. Feel like I could finally really 'get' Dylan. One of those records where you can just tell someone is at the top of their game and supremely confident.

Yeah this is pretty awful. Freak on a Leash is OK.

Second group after Shack that I've never heard of. This is pretty bad. No fun whatsoever.

Really frontloaded, as in the first four tracks are the singles or memorable tracks. Fades a lot as it goes on but a great start

Started this and wasn't feeling it all. Then cranked it loud and had a good time. Phantom of the Opera is the best song here. Transylvania is an enjoyable instrumental. They went on to be better but this is fun.

Has to be a 5. Quite unlike anything else. Heavy yet comforting.

Loved this. They're just a great guitar band. No one else has the sound they do.

Sounds great. Some of the words are a bit silly but overall an enjoyable listen. Nate Dogg is great.

Never listening to this again. It's alright for what it is and I recognise quite a few of the songs, that's as much as I can say.

Pleasant and tasteful. I could work to this and let it sink in more. Recognised a couple of tracks but a 3 feels right on a first listen.

Enjoyed this lots more than I expected, it's great.

Big and dumb. Jump is decent, that's about it.

A decent listen, can't get massively enthusiastic about it.

Absolute classic. Remember being repulsed and kind of scared by Venus in Furs as a 14-15 year old, the dissonance was really offputting. But now it's my fave on here, but I love all of it. Lots is said about this record but the variety isn't commended enough.

Liked this. Borderline 3 but listened to it twice and it grew on me. 80s US punk and hardcore is a bit of a blind spot for me.

Little Wing is one of the best ever. Spanish Castle Magic is also excellent. I want to listen to this more, it's mellower on the whole than I remember.

I'm glad Slipknot exist. I'm weirdly proud of them. I'm sure they'd hate this sentiment. Some of their stuff is good workout music. Better than Korn

Realising I love sprawling double albums. Kashmir, Wanton Song, Trampled Underfoot are brilliant, the first of those in particular is an astonishing song.

Maybe Elvis should have been a 3 - I enjoyed this lots more. Great energy, you really get a sense of his charisma through the record. A good birthday listen.

One of the first albums I bought when I really started getting into music at 13. Wake Up was my favourite then. This is really good, probably the peak of the genre.

Undeniable

Finally listened to this one in full, and yep it's very good. Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes is particularly good.

A perfect band. So odd and lopsided but also simple and childlike all at once. Where Is My Mind however much I hear it remains a perfect song.

Dictionary definition difficult second album. Not as immediate as Funeral, not as good either but it's an interesting listen and has some great songs.

Very enjoyable, killer rhythm section

First song is OK, good harmonies. But overall this doesn't belong on the list.

Crazy that this happened. Perfectly executed for what it's going for, more fun than I was expecting. For some reason I imagine sharing songs off this with my unborn son.

It's fine, quite annoying in places. Let me Roll It is good. Jet is better done by Alan Partridge. Always found it odd how the title track is different ideas just grafted together.

Very good

Feels slightly harsh, but very frontloaded and gets a bit samey by the end. But good driving music and the guitar tones are sumptuous.

I don’t think it's actually my favourite, maybe because it's the first I bought and I've heard it so many times. But of course it's a classic, some of the GOAT songs ever on this.

This is laugh out loud hilarious. I had lots of fun with this one.

Was going for a 1 but I liked the Gran Turismo menu music one. This chillout kind of music doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Enjoyed this quite a bit. Could do with trimming.

Are you going to give this a four?

Pretty good, unique sound. Suite Pee and Cubert are great. Remember Louisa burning this for me and highlighting those tracks. Wasn't really in the mood for this one though.

I don't actively dislike this like other 2s, but I can't give it any higher on first listen. Pleasant and not memorable whatsoever.

Was erring on the side of a 3, but some bangers just carried it through. But there's definitely quite a bit of filler here, like Speed Demon. Some of the Bad 25 outtakes should've been swapped in - Don't Be Messing Round is comfortably one of the best songs on the album if it makes the cut.

Borderline 3-4 as it goes on a bit but feeling generous. Lots of fun for the most part. They're better at the catchy snappy tracks than the long drony ones.

Fine. Didn't hate it but pretty unexciting. Good singer to be fair.

Maybe this could grow on me but not after one listen. Not massively compelled to revisit.

Probably the best album I've had so far. Even the 'lesser' songs are incredible, and it has about four the best songs ever written (Girl, Norwegian Wood, Michelle, In My Life imo).

Not what I expected Tim Buckley to sound like. Fairly explicit lyrics too! Could grow on me but the vocal style and instrumentation isn't my fav. It did lead me to Song for the Siren though, now that's a great song.

It's like a greatest hits album. Along with Definitely Maybe it's their peak.
