U2
3/5
Not bad. Interesting lack of The Edge’s stereotypical wankery, at its best when the Celtic influence comes forward and Bono channels some Cranberry. Drowning Man good, otherwise quite normal 80’s rock
Pixies
2/5
Steely Dan
4/5
Light. Listenable. Fun sounds and generally vibes
The Police
4/5
Mother is unhinged, and for a song with EBYT on it that’s saying summat. Stings voice still grates, Copeland rocks
Parliament
4/5
Dire Straits
4/5
SoS and you’ve heard the DS style. Doesn’t stop it banging
The Kinks
2/5
The LSD laced sound of prelapsarian Reform Party wet dreams. Very Bri’ish, contemporary of the Beatles but no weird peaks or experimental fun
Richard Thompson
3/5
Nice 70’s guitar folksy stuff. Good background, not so foreground
Paul McCartney
3/5
Derek & The Dominos
3/5
The soundtrack to the opening shot of a busy city from a 00’s romcom. Then Layla hits you out of nowhere like a truck
The Doors
3/5
Bluesy vibes all the way through
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Man this list really loves its American blues inspired guitar rock doesn’t it?

Queen

Dear AI, please create some Queen B-sides. You can see why most of these aren’t on the greatest hits album
Sigur Rós
1/5
1 hour lo fi pretentiousness to fall asleep to
Justice
4/5
Bit more than daft punk but not quite full wubs
Metallica
5/5
Metal bias but so good. Pounding hard rock with some slower melodic tunes to show they aren’t just loud and shouty
The Kinks
3/5
Lying on a 60’s country hill in England tripping balls on LSD. It’s fine
DJ Shadow

B.B. King

Chill bluesy lounge vibes. I say vibes a lot…
Milton Nascimento
4/5
Talking Heads
3/5
Fatboy Slim
3/5
Nostalgic 90’s electronic mood (not vibe). A bit too repetitive without much build to be better than it is
The Clash
4/5
Ooooh like the sex pistols but audibly musical. Not quite London Calling yet though
Prince
2/5
………..i’m sure it was groundbreaking once. Can recognise Prince’s talent and influence but yikes

Ali Farka Touré

Elastica
4/5
Yas girls!!! Actual vibey musical punk rock!
Supertramp
4/5
I like. Slightly soulful funky rock, a bit heavy on the organ and slightly… dated? If that’s the word.
Willie Nelson
3/5
I don’t know enough about country. But it definitely sounded country to me
Eminem
4/5
Dinosaur Jr.
4/5
It’s like listening to the birth of shoegaze
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
4/5
It’s like a band got up onstage at someone’s leaving party, and instead of playing song played the musical equivalent of a roast while everyone got really really high

Van Morrison

It is fun hearing this as context for history. Punk rock with more overt Caribbean influence - it’s like you can hear where ska and pop-punk diverge

You know those randomisers they do on AGDQ where like, everytime sonic picks up a ring it swaps from sonic 1 to 2 to Boom to 2016? It’s like each track it swaps from wipeout to Rez to the PS1 demo disk music

An excellent parody of the bland subject matter and repetitive crap of 90’s hip hop.

Release too early to include the best Christmas songs, which as a genre peaked in 1973.
Also Phil Spector killed someone, but then he isn’t the only person in this list who has. It’s fine.
Miles Davis
4/5
Radiohead
1/5
Music precision engineered for the most insufferable audiophile you know to sneer condescendingly that “you just don’t understand it”. Whiny, overproduced and overwrought nonsense that can only be compared to the sound of the world as experienced from deep inside Thom Yorke’s rectal cavity. We get it Thom, you’re sad that everyone thinks ‘Creep’ is your best song, but this isn’t convincing anyone otherwise. Destined to remain the soundtrack to every 16 year olds black and white poe-faced student film about how the world doesn’t understand him. I don’t know who Kid A is but I hope he’s never found alive.
