The Black Crowes

I feel as though this record is the link between the big 80's rock n roll bands (eg Boston, Kiss) and the early nineties Motley Cru, GnR, Bon Jovi

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

1/5

Fucking hell, how did this make it into the 1001? Sat through 2 tracks then switched back to Elvis Costello. Reminded me of vintage porno soundtrack and not in a good way. My disappointment cannot be described with letters and words.

Hard to get into the groove just listening on Spotify. This music needs to be experienced within the context that it was intended - a sweaty, smoky dance hall with a massive Disco ball

4/5

Cool, unique

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

I listened to GD religiously from 1999 to 2003 but stopped after nimrod and warning which were pretty shite. This on the other hand is fucking epic. Obviously I'd listened to the big hits but the rest of the album is sublime. Especially the 9.4 minute true certified banger, homecoming. GREEN DAY - YOU ROCK!

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

2/5

More melancholic than the last record. Life is not all party

Live / Dead

Grateful Dead

5/5

Never heard this band before but heard of them. Didn't expect such sophisticated rock n roll jazz. Would have been amazing live but instead they passed the time driving on an over cast day in Western France

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

Aces

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

5/5

5 stars, mainly for nostalgic reasons. I remember listening to Narayan while riding on a particularly gnarly fairground ride age 14. It blew my mind then and it still does

Adele

3/5

Started with a couple of bangers but the rest started to all sound the same

The Stone Roses

3/5

Rage Against The Machine

3/5

Overrated

Deeply awesome - the inspiration behind velvet revolver and alter bridge
