Solid album but a few too many slow tracks for me. Led zep 4 is way better

Moby
4/5
Loads of recognisable songs, for some reason I haven't listened to this all the way through before. It is awesome, love the variation between tracks. Do feel it tails off a bit towards the end and could have had a couple cut
The Smiths
4/5
What a band, shame morrissey is a prick. Prefer the queen is dead
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
The good tracks are so good it brings up the rating, bit of filler but overall a great album
Dire Straits
3/5
Down to the waterline a great opener. Southband again and sultans of swing are both great but beyond that extremely mid. Absolutely love the dire straits guitar tone
The Velvet Underground
1/5
Properly hate this, a chore to get through
Alice In Chains
5/5
One of the best metal albums ever. Easy full marks
Soft Machine
1/5
Sounds like it was just improvised jazz jam sessions. Long and definitely won't revisit
Sheryl Crow
2/5
Quite liked the first song but the rest I found boring, not my kind of thing
Paul Simon
3/5
I like Paul Simon, I liked the opener and I liked some other bits, but graceland is way better
Aerosmith
2/5
Sweet emotion is a classic, walk this way needs run dmc (I'm sick of that song anyway), big 10 inch record was kinda fun. All it does is add substance to my point that Aerosmith are a greatest hits band. Bland
Jean-Michel Jarre
3/5
I like it, very scifi and sounds a lot more recent than the date it was released
The Associates
3/5
Some cool tracks on here, have never heard of the band before. Listened to the deluxe version and all the added tracks felt unnecessary. Goiny by original track list it's a solid 3, nearly 4
Led Zeppelin
3/5
Solid album but a few too many slow tracks for me. Led zep 4 is way better
Astor Piazzolla
1/5
Elavator/hold music

2/5
Not my kind of thing. Wasn't bad but wouldn't go back to it

4/5

The Byrds
2/5
It good but I definitely won't listen again, not for me
Deerhunter
2/5
Even the band sounded bored. 2 okay songs
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
2/5
It's very generic blues. There's a couple of songs that would be fun in a bar but too many guitar solos which aren't interesting
Also, clapton is a prick
Air
3/5
Better at that star but decent
Eels
3/5
Front loaded. Good nonetheless
Scritti Politti
2/5
Not a fan of this I'm afraid. Usually like this kind of music but this doesn't do much for me. Couple of decent tracks but not something I'd revisit

Enjoyed this but one song was annoying

Ghostface Killah
4/5
This is so good from someone who doesn't love hip hop that much. If it weren't for the skits and a couple of tracks that could've been cut this would be a 5. Shakey dog and the champ both incredible tracks and I'll definitely revisit this album
The Killers

4/5
Prefab Sprout
3/5

4/5
If bob Dylan and Sam fender were good
Faust

Yikes

Much better than that terrible concept album

Never really liked pavement, as an album it’s okay but loses me for a bit. Good album closer
The Stooges
3/5
Iron Maiden
5/5
William Orbit
1/5
Bit boring isn't it
The Electric Prunes
2/5
Just weird
David Bowie
2/5
Brian Eno
2/5
It’s ambient so it’s never getting a high score, works as background music I suppose
Van Morrison
4/5
Okay this is really good. Definitely going to come back to this one
Beatles
3/5
It's sooo long
The Chemical Brothers
4/5
Proper dance music
Hole
5/5
170 albums in, this is the first one I've given a 5 that I'd never heard before. From the opener all the way through to the end it's hard, chaotic, passionate, brilliant
Method Man
3/5
Elton John
5/5
It's long but great the whole way through
Laibach
2/5
Kind of liked the first half but good god it got real bad and dragged at the end

2/5
Louis Prima
4/5
Some toe tapping swing, love it
LCD Soundsystem
3/5
This was way too long, some really great bits in it but needed 30 minutes cut
Funkadelic
3/5
Some super funky parts to this but I do feel like the songs are a touch long at times and they need a few more ideas to keep me interested
a-ha
4/5
Groovy
Beatles
4/5
Sparks

Enjoyed parts of this but other bits kind of annoying

3/5
Far from his best imo

4/5
Delightful

Fleetwood Mac
5/5
Ray Charles
4/5
Who doesn’t love some smooth big band country jazz

Really weird album, loads of extremely short songs that largely sound unfinished

RIP ozzy

3/5
Fats Domino
4/5

It's salsa, I likes the trumpets

5/5
Just unreal
Bonnie Raitt
3/5
Great vocals, didn't love the music but it was good enough
Frank Ocean
3/5
Used to hate this, has grown on me but some songs could definitely be cut near the end
Black Flag
2/5
Quite fun at the start but it seemed to get progressively worse as it went on
Bob Dylan
3/5
For a boby Dylan album I enjoyed this. Was leaning towards a 4 but there were a few bits where I was a bit bored
Kid Rock
1/5
Truly dreadful. My life was better before being subjected to this album
David Gray
5/5
Stunning
Fatboy Slim
3/5
Hole
4/5
Another great hole album. Never paid attention to this band until doing this list
Prince
3/5
There's some great tracks on this but a lot just felt a couple of minutes too long, kept flipping between 3 and 4 but settled with 3 during all the critics
Circle Jerks
3/5
Went to see these guys play this album in full ata show but missed the whole thing queueing at the bar
Stan Getz
2/5
It's a jazz album I'd struggle to distinguish from thousands of other jazz albums
John Grant
5/5
Absolutely loved the variation and the song writing is excellent. Feels like a very love it or hate it record, 5 from me
John Cale
2/5
It's certainly an album
Paul McCartney and Wings
4/5
Knew how to write a song
Wu-Tang Clan
5/5
Hip hop has never been so good
David Bowie
4/5
Are there too many Bowie albums on this list, yes. Do I think this one should be on here, also yes
TV On The Radio
3/5
Definitely not their best but there are some great songs on here
Radiohead
5/5
Their best album
U2
2/5
Very much a singles band from what I’ve heard
Elvis Presley
3/5
Dude could sing tbf
Alanis Morissette
5/5
So many bangers on one album
Brian Eno
2/5
Weird doesn’t always mean good
Rahul Dev Burman
2/5
Probably not the best soundtrack for the gym
Jamiroquai
3/5
Wish some of the songs were shorter, could’ve been a 4
Deep Purple
4/5
Child in time one of the best songs ever written
Frank Zappa
2/5
I think I need to be on drugs for this
Beatles
4/5
Possibly my favourite Beatles album
Metallica
4/5
If it weren’t for the pointless instrumental I’d give this a 5. One of my favourite Metallica records
Goldfrapp
1/5
Went my whole life thinking goldfrapp were a pop duo. They are in fact this nonsense
Tom Waits
2/5
Quite a few songs sounded like someone was randomly hitting bins
Raekwon
2/5
18 songs is too many songs. There’s a lot on here that should have been left on the cutting room floor. There’s were instances where I liked what I heard but they felt fleeting. Shame
The Smiths
3/5
Starts really well but the last 2-3 songs are pretty pointless. Sadly brings it down a point
The Teardrop Explodes
1/5
Well that was forgettable
Frank Sinatra
4/5
They make it sound so effortless
Michael Jackson
5/5
Not even his best album. No one has ever or ever will come close to the king of pop
The Smiths
4/5
Some serious bangers on this. Been a long time since I heard it and was assuming I’d give it a straight 5 but not quite as good as I remembered
Doves
2/5
Didn’t mind some bits but it did feel like a somehow worse elbow at parts
Public Enemy
4/5
Angry album this one
Michael Kiwanuka
3/5
Pretty good, will I listen again? Probably not
Christina Aguilera
2/5
Really felt like this album was never going to end. Took me 2 days to complete it
Underworld
3/5
Sitting at home in the middle of the day probably isn’t the desired environment for an album like this. I love underworld, think they are one of the best electronic live acts going but I don’t really enjoy listening to dance music outside of a gig environment. A generous 3
The Kinks
2/5
Discovered today that I don’t like the kinks
The Jesus And Mary Chain
1/5
This isn’t for me, was bored throughout
Primal Scream
1/5
Bit shit innit

The Zombies
1/5
A slog
Janis Joplin
4/5
Incredible vocal performance throughout and the songs are pretty good too. Well earned 4
Dire Straits
4/5
Really enjoyed this, knew the hits and thought the filler was all pretty nice
Isaac Hayes
4/5
Mad how 4 songs that go on for 45 minutes keeps me interested throughout. Some huge sound on this and sounds quite far ahead of its time
Terence Trent D'Arby
4/5
Loved reading about this guy, sounds insane. Great music though, I love the 80s
Massive Attack
3/5
Enjoyable
The Slits
1/5
I am not sure what this vocal style is but I never want to hear it again
The Police
2/5
One belter of a song, the rest not so much
Alice Cooper
3/5
Some really good bits in the album ruined by a bit of nonsense
John Lennon
1/5
Absolute shite made even worse by the final song oh yoko
Arcade Fire
4/5
Very good, started slow but grew into it
Malcolm McLaren
1/5
A very annoying album
The Byrds
1/5
Found this pretty tiresome
Country Joe & The Fish
3/5
Not what I was expecting, maybe sound better on lsd but enjoyed regardless
Ella Fitzgerald
2/5
Took me nearly 4 months to finish this one, what a slog. The 6th disc was completely unnecessary
SAULT
3/5
Some really cool bits but a load of shite on here. Just squeezes a 3
The Beach Boys
3/5
Better than their other material for me. Still not mind blowing
Eagles
3/5
Not as bad as I was expecting
Cornershop
1/5
Hate it
Sonic Youth
3/5
Better than expected, had boring moments

3/5
Thought these were a soul band
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
Very good

4/5

2/5
Pretentious innit

1/5
Idk who this is and I don’t like it
The Kinks
3/5
Grew into it
The Icarus Line
4/5
Enjoyed this quite a lot, never heard of them before

4/5
Heavy
The Flaming Lips
4/5
Really great throughout
Blur
3/5
Besides the hits this really didn’t do that much for me
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Very good, should’ve watched this guy at glasto instead of the howler of a performance by charli xcx
Elton John
4/5
Indian sunset such a great song
Orbital
3/5
Certainly was electronic music
Sufjan Stevens
4/5
Very nice indeed
Minutemen
2/5
Today I found out where the jackass theme tune came from
The Specials
2/5
I just don’t like this kind of music. Gets a point for the recognisable songs
Solange
3/5
Very very average
The Undertones
3/5
Forgot I saw these live until this listen
Public Enemy
4/5
Very cool. Especially like the slayer riff
Liz Phair
2/5
Dragged
Jacques Brel
3/5
Closing your eyes and pretending you’re sat in a courtyard in south France drinking bottles of red on a warm clear night really adds to the experience
Led Zeppelin
3/5
Sorry lads but there’s a lot of tracks here that shouldn’t have made the album. When it’s good it’s great
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
Recognisable hits on here
The Police
4/5
A rarely enjoyable police album
Nirvana
5/5

4/5
Love a bit of steely
Tortoise
1/5

4/5
Tunes

4/5
What a prick
Dexys Midnight Runners
2/5
Found this to be largely quite irritating
Muddy Waters
2/5
Pretty generic blues, really didn’t blow me away
2/5
Absolutely mental. There was a bit around half way through where it resembled music. Not a good album but glad it was included on this list
Common
3/5
Nice background music
The Everly Brothers
4/5
Surprised to know so many of these songs
Radiohead
4/5
Remember it being better. Still great
Morrissey
2/5
This one didn’t need to be on here
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
I don’t get it
Pink Floyd
5/5
Don’t think you can claim to like music if you don’t like this absolute classic. Some of the best guitar work ever recorded
Jethro Tull
5/5
Why have I never listened to this in full before. Completely brilliant
Nightmares On Wax
2/5
Loading screen music
Deep Purple
3/5
I love deep purple but I don’t think live albums belong on this list. Space truckin went on way way too long. Being there I’m sure it was great but it doesn’t translate on record
Radiohead
2/5
I like some Radiohead albums, I don’t like this one
Björk
3/5
Pretty weird, kinda dig it
Electric Light Orchestra
1/5
Snoop Dogg
4/5
Never saw myself enjoying a snoop dogg album

2/5
It was very 90s

3/5
Good at points, boring at others
Robert Wyatt
1/5
Truly terrible
DJ Shadow
3/5
Really liked the las track, wasn’t massively won over throughout

2/5
Really not my kind of music, found it really boring. Better than 1 star though

4/5
Quite a few hits on this one
Alice Cooper
2/5
Sorry Alice but this wasn’t great
Beatles
4/5
Might be their best

3/5
Pretty mid

1/5

4/5
Got time for simz
Pearl Jam
5/5
Very easy 5. Back to back hits

This was so long
Syd Barrett
1/5
This one ain’t it

3/5
Acdc found a sound and stuck with it
Nanci Griffith
3/5
Nice enough, thought it was Dolly Parton. Wouldn’t listen again
Khaled
3/5
The cover of imagine really threw me off
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
Bruce at his very best. He should tour the album
k.d. lang
3/5

Always found his vocals very odd. Was alright as an album
Mudhoney
2/5
A couple of bits were okay I suppose

Should probably leave this guy loretta
Stephen Stills
3/5
Average
Todd Rundgren
4/5
Really interesting album, some bits unnecessary but when good it really goes off
Supergrass
4/5
Fun album
Silver Jews
2/5
Got excited by one of the songs but checked and saw the album was over and it went into similar artists, that was better
Kate Bush
2/5
Not my favourite Kate bush album I’m afraid
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
Thought everyone hated this album
The Gun Club
4/5
Very enjoyable
Madonna
3/5
She was an hour late when I saw her and had to cut like a prayer. Anyway this album was mid
Various Artists
4/5
Must have made so much money from royalties. Basically every song on this is the version that I know through movies, retail stores, tv specials, etc. apparently this guy murdered someone
The Temptations
3/5
Sexy music
Richard Hawley
4/5
The orchestral arrangements in this are fantastic
Supertramp
5/5
First time I’ve given supertramp a proper listen and I’ve been missing out

About time I listened to this in full, never will again. Horrendous, absolutely baffled how it’s popular
The Beta Band
1/5
Is it over yet
Michael Jackson
5/5
I don’t respect anyone’s musical opinion if they give this anything less than a 5
The Stranglers
2/5
It’s just not my thing and that’s fine
Joan Armatrading
5/5
How have I never heard of her before, superb

3/5
Very surprised to not absolutely hate this, some nice background music

As someone who loves heavy music it’s a pretty easy 5
Roxy Music
2/5
I think I just hate everything Brian eno has involvement with
OutKast
4/5
Would be a 5 if not for the annoying skits
Orbital
1/5
Agree with the guy who hooked up at a Halloween party with an Asian girl dressed as a cat, this album sucks. This music only suits 5am in a field with a light show
Derek & The Dominos
1/5
Horrible average blues, a terrible version of little wing and spent the entire album waiting for Layla
Shack
3/5
Didn’t mind it, probably won’t listen to it again and not sure it belongs on a list like this

2/5
I just don’t get it
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
Damn this goes so hard to start, unfortunately does fall off but it’s a strong 4 for the first 7 songs
Miles Davis
4/5
It’s just so damn smooth
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Great at the start and end, but if a lull in the middle. Don’t really care for stones albums, singles are usually top quality
Belle & Sebastian
2/5
Bit boring isn’t it
Fela Kuti
3/5
It’s impressive but I won’t return to it

It’s the best I’ve heard from them but I still don’t particularly like it

5/5
So good, game changer for metal
David Bowie
4/5
Remember that bbc show life on mars? Was class that. Might rewatch it
5/5
So many massive tunes on this, especially assassin and knights
Kings of Leon
2/5
Even when this band was supposedly good they sucked
CHVRCHES
4/5
Very surprised to see this included, great album but their second one is better
Linkin Park
5/5
Genre defining and the first album I ever got, still know all the words
Green Day
4/5
Call me basic but I prefer American idiot

4/5
Trails off a bit at the end but this is still when they were good
Muddy Waters
4/5
Blues 101
Faith No More
4/5
Funny how epic is the worst song on this album. Loads of bangers, war pigs cover not needed

4/5
Hot chip have always been one I felt like I should give some time so glad this came up, lovely listen
Ali Farka Touré

Blue Cheer
3/5
Nice guitar tone

4/5
Don’t usually care for industrial metal but this was cool
The Black Keys
2/5
When an album has this many songs they either all need to be decent or it needs some monster hits, this hit neither of those criteria
The Magnetic Fields
1/5
69 love songs is way too fucking many. This should’ve ended at like 10. A properly painful listen
Fiona Apple
4/5
A pleasant listen for sure
Mercury Rev
3/5
The fuck was the last track about
Nick Drake
2/5
Not my jam

2/5

2/5
Felt like a wannabe a lot of different artists
Buck Owens
2/5
Did a good job of making me go to sleep during a 13 hour flight
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
It’s a generous 3 as I like the chem bros as a live act, not usually the kind of thing I listen to at home
Prince
4/5
The Smashing Pumpkins
2/5
This was too long, should’ve cut half the songs
Mekons
1/5

Hanoi Rocks
1/5
Well that was generic
Calexico

3/5
