The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

1/5

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this project it’s that the words “concept album” fill me with dread 😟

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

I love Dexys. Kevin Rowland’s voice is simply Joyous … a happy hour spent dancing round my kitchen 😀

Loved it … great songs performed by one of the greatest soul singers of all time. What more do you want?

The Wall

Pink Floyd

1/5

I listened to this album many years ago when someone older and wiser than me told me I should. I’m now older and wiser myself and I’ve listened again … It’s still terrible.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

2/5

Very average … a couple of good songs stand out at the start but then fizzles out and I was bored by the end. There are better Arcade Fire albums.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

Loved it … great songs performed by one of the greatest soul singers of all time. What more do you want?

The Stone Roses

5/5

Great album … Great songs … No fillers.

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

Not listened to this for a while .. a great album, admittedly not Bowie’s best, but great nonetheless. Does make me sad though 😢

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

3/5

Not heard before … but recognised quite a few tracks. Pleasant enough but probably won’t listen again.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

5/5

Loved it when I first heard it 35+ years ago. Still love it now. Solid 5.

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

A classic album that I assumed I would be giving 5 stars … but on re-listening, half the album is faultless, the other half has very much a B-side feel. Shame it wasn’t a 10-track masterpiece.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

Good album but sounds dated … enjoyed it more in the 90s.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

3/5

Motörhead doing Motörhead 👍

I Against I

Bad Brains

1/5

Not familiar with the band … not for me.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

3/5

First time listen … would listen again 👍

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

A great album … can’t get better than opening with Debaser (maybe they should have put that last 😆)

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

A great live band but not their best album … Some great songs … some OK songs. On balance I’ll give it 4.

So Much For The City

The Thrills

2/5

Vaguely recognised the cover … checked my collection and found that I own it. Have no recollection of buying it. It was OK but not very inspiring.

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

I love this album … all killer 😜

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

Solid 80s rock 🎸

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

First time listen (and second and third). A great album 👍

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

2/5

Not a standout for me … probably wouldn’t listen again.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

2/5

James Brown is great and I would have loved to have seen him live in his heyday … But this album isn’t great.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

1/5

I liked the beats at the start … but by the time they”d looped through EVERY song I was very bored. Not for me.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

I love Dexys. Kevin Rowland’s voice is simply Joyous … a happy hour spent dancing round my kitchen 😀

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

2/5

First time listen. I thought I’d like it. I don’t. Disappointing.

Deep Purple

3/5

I liked it .. but deducted a star for excessive guitar solos and unnecessary fade-outs 😀

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

3/5

Good vibes 👍

Street Life

The Crusaders

2/5

Great start, but disappointing thereafter.

All Hail the Queen

I guess 80s rap just isn’t my thing

3/5

Not my favourite genre … but wasn’t bad.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

2/5

Average … pleasant enough but won’t listen again.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

4/5

After reading the reviews I didn’t think I’d like this and was expecting listening to be a chore … Reader, I loved it! Different and interesting and strangely soothing 😀

Reign In Blood

Slayer

1/5

At least it was short 🙉

808 State

1/5

Too repetitive (and yes, I know that’s the point).

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

A good Bowie album … Golden Years is in my top 10 Bowie songs and Wild is the Wind is also great … but not enough in the rest to make it 5 stars.

Raw Power

The Stooges

5/5

A classic … the cover art alone is worth 5 stars 😍

Ramones

4/5

Yes, it’s all the same song …. But you’ve got to admit it’s a great song 😀

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

2/5

Perfectly fine big band album … but won’t listen again.

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

Never really listened to much Dinosaur Jr … now realising I should have listened to more. I liked the noise 😃

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Thought I’d like it more … OK but nothing more than that. Not rushing to listen again.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

1/5

I listened to this album many years ago when someone older and wiser than me told me I should. I’m now older and wiser myself and I’ve listened again … It’s still terrible.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

2/5

Pretty average …. Needs more oomph

Teen Dream

Beach House

2/5

First one on this list where i hadn’t heard of the band … didn’t do much for me and not sure why it’s here.

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

1/5

You know it’s a one star when you’re checking how many tracks are left from song 3 onwards.

Fleet Foxes

3/5

I liked it … but not rushing for a second listen

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Some memorable songs from the 80s that I liked more than I did in the 80s ….

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

4/5

Can’t beat a bit of ramshackle psychobilly punk rock 😀🤘🎸

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

It’s not bad .. but he was.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

4/5

Excellent album … with added Iggy Pop (What more do you want? … he’s vibrating!!)

Sea Change

Beck

3/5

Gloomy Beck is not my favourite Beck.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

2/5

Running out of ways to say OK but pretty uninspiring … unlikely to listen again.

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

2/5

Weller doing Weller

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

1/5

Dull

Live Through This

Hole

3/5

Courtney Love was irritating in the 90s so Hole kind of passed me by …. but I liked it 👍

The Clash

5/5

Class

Synchronicity

The Police

2/5

I liked a couple of songs … the rest range from forgettable to terrible (Mother … I’m looking at you 👀)

Pyromania

Def Leppard

3/5

Sheffield’s finest rock hair metal band 🤘

Maxinquaye

Tricky

4/5

A long-time favourite. Martina & Tricky’s styles complement each other perfectly.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

A great soul album … but hoping for better from Curtis elsewhere in this list.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

2/5

I didn’t think I’d like this one after reading the Wikipedia summary … but I was pleasantly surprised. It was fine (but still not my thing)

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

Hmmm … thought I’d like this one more. I think it was too long. I stuck it out because I was waiting for Hurt (and yes, the Man in Black does it better).

Murmur

R.E.M.

2/5

Honestly, I like REM but this didn’t do much for me. No match for their later 90s output.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Not really my thing, but I can see why it is highly rated.

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

3/5

Perfectly fine reggae music

The B-52's

2/5

Fun .. but forgettable

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

5/5

Quiet brilliance ❤️

Head Hunters

Cool 😎

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

3/5

The White Stripes have made some great albums … and some average ones.

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

3/5

A great debut from a fun live band … I liked it, but not sure it’s stood the time test. A solid 3 from me.

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

3/5

It’s a grower … I liked it more the longer it was on. Old Whore’s Diet is a highlight.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Another perfectly fine reggae album 👍

Boston

2/5

Perfectly fine 70s cheesy rock.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

2/5

I was looking forward to listening but found it a bit disappointing if I’m honest … I didn’t hate it … but I didn’t like it much either.

War

2/5

Bonio is very shouty on this one.

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

2/5

Initial reaction … Who? 🤷‍♀️ Wikipedia … Oh No 😔 Reviews … I’m really going to hate it Track 1 … let’s hope they are all this short Track 2 … I quite like his voice, maybe won’t be so bad Track 5 … who’s the girl? A bit screechy Track 14 … He sounds bored now. Track 34 … halftime break ⬇️ ⬇️ Track 35 … back in (it’s all a bit same-y) Track 48 … that seemed like a really long pause between tracks - I honestly thought it had finished 😔 Track 53 … time for another break 🥱 ⬇️ ⬇️ Track 57 … I think he’s losing it Track 68 … this is my favourite track (skip to this one if you’re cheating 😉) Done ✔️ Feels like I deserve some sort of reward. I’ve awarded 2 stars for effort .. but I will NEVER be listening again.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

Pleasant but not rushing to listen again.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Full disclosure … I’d count myself as a fan but hadn’t heard this before. I liked it 👍

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

1/5

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this project it’s that the words “concept album” fill me with dread 😟

Picture Book

Simply Red

2/5

Simply average

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

3/5

I’m a big PJ fan … but I’ve never rated this album much. I prefer angry 90s PJ to moody 00s PJ.

The Joshua Tree

2/5

Meh .. downhill after the first 3 tracks

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

👍

Repeater

Fugazi

2/5

Passed me by at the time .. I think I would have liked it back in the 90s, but not so much now.

Medúlla

Björk

3/5

Bjork doing her thing … I liked it 👍

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

2/5

A change in sound from their earlier stuff … not sure it was for the better.

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

Classic

Tracy Chapman

4/5

This album was a favourite when i was in my teens … listened again and I still love it (but not quite 5 stars)

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Obviously it’s a classic with numerous outstanding tracks … but it is too long (double albums should be reserved for greatest hits … which I suppose this is!)

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

2/5

One (maybe one and a half) good songs strung out into a whole album … yawn

Slayed?

Slade

3/5

Slade doing Slade as only Slade can 👍

Either Or

Elliott Smith

2/5

Who/Why?

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

I’d forgotten how many great tunes were on this album 👍

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

2/5

Not really my cup of T 😉 … but didn’t hate it.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

3/5

Classic 70s. I liked a lot 🤘

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

Presumably a coincidence that I got this the day after we lost Brian. Not heard the album before … love the cover art and only knew the first song (from the late great Kirsty MacColl version … had no idea it was a cover until today). Overall, it’s not Surfin USA .. but I enjoyed it.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Great album … but probably overplayed. Felt a bit like an extended advert.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

2/5

Radiohead doing Radiohead …unfortunately. I’m giving it 2 stars but only because I liked track 2.

Rapture

Anita Baker

2/5

Very little to say on this one … not really my thing but pleasant enough as background music.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

2/5

I liked the two big hits … surprised by the number of covers in the rest. Didn’t love it.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

2/5

Too short … but also too long 🤷‍♀️

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

Classic 🤘

1999

Prince

3/5

Some great songs and some mediocre (too long) songs

Very

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

It’s Pet Shop Boys … enjoyable enough but not the best Pet Shop Boys album.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

Highway to Hell is obviously a classic track … but not enough here to push it to a 4. Back in Black is better.

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

4/5

Liked it more than I remembered liking it 👍

Black Sabbath

4/5

Classic 🤘 RIP Ozzy

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

This was my first Elvis Costello album on this list … but reading the reviews I can see I should expect a few more 😂 Luckily I”m a fan, but I wasn’t familiar with this one. It was fine … I’m looking forward to Spike 👍

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

There are no doubt some great tracks on this album … but it is way too long and by the time I got to the end I’d forgotten them 🤷‍♀️

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

I used to own a Supergrass ironing board cover but it wore out from too much ironing … 5 stars for imaginative early 2000s merch stall goodies … 4 stars for the album 😀👍

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

It was fine.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

2/5

Not sure I needed to hear this album before I die

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

2/5

Unremarkable

The College Dropout

Kanye West

1/5

Not for me

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

Of all the Radioheads this is the best Radiohead 👍

Dog Man Star

Suede

5/5

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Probably more of a 3 if I’m honest … but I’m giving it 4 for the nostalgia value 😊

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

2/5

Never heard of them … liked the beats and the vocals were cool but just too samey all the way through.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

I wasn’t expecting to like it but I got my groove on 🕺🏻

Aja

Steely Dan

1/5

Forgettable.

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

3/5

I like it. Thank you very much 🕺🏻

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

2/5

OK but forgettable 🤷‍♀️

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Small Faces

4/5

The A side is a solid 5 … but tainted by the “concept” B side which I can’t give more than 3 for … so let’s go 4 😀

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

More crooner-y than expected. It was fine but won’t go back to it.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

This is a very good album … but it somehow feels too long even though it’s quite short 🤔

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

3/5

An average Stevie album

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

I like it … not a lot … but I like it

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

A few great songs and a few average songs. I listened to the UK version … I’ve loved Mother’s Little Helper since I heard the Mary Coughlan version when I was a teenager, but Paint It Black is undoubtedly a great song…. Don’t understand why they didn’t include both🤷‍♀️

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

Overrated

Play

Moby

3/5

Some truly great tracks in the first 15mins … but quickly peters out.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey is and always has been a tool … but I like it 👍

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

👌

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

1/5

Never heard of Dr O … will probably never hear him again.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

I remember my music teacher at primary school teaching us Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds … at the time I had no idea it was a Beatles song but I’ve loved it ever since (she also taught us when I’m sixty-four which I loved not so much 😁)

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

Radiohead still doing Radiohead

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

2/5

I’m sure it’s excellent if you like this sort of thing

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

4/5

I really liked this one … every track unique in its own way and Uncle Nick popping in on The Sweetest Embrace was lovely ☺️

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

2/5

another one I’ve never heard of … didn’t do much for me

The Specials

5/5

Classic

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

Iconic … but felt too long and too repetitive

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

4/5

It may be hardcore … but it’s not a different class

Joan Baez

2/5

Disappointing if I’m honest … I guess I don’t like folk music as much as I thought I did

Elephant

The White Stripes

3/5

I like The White Stripes. I like Jack White … he’s a fantastic live performer who I’ve seen many times. There are some top tunes on this album (which I own) but I hardly ever listen to it. I don’t know why.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

4/5

This was great.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

Too long … and really not my thing.

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Marvin Gaye doing Marvin Gaye

3/5

Great singer. Great songs. 👍

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

4/5

I really liked this … much more than I expected to 👍

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

I played Are You Experienced ALOT during my teens. Not heard this one before. I was expecting more of the same but it is very different … in a good way 👍

Rubber Soul

Beatles

3/5

An average Beatles album is still a pretty good album 👍

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

3/5

I liked the singles … but the rest was pretty average

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

4/5

Excellent debut

Vivid

Living Colour

3/5

Vaguely remembered them … didn’t know any songs but was a perfectly fine 80s rock album.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

1/5

I like Can I kick it? but didn’t much care for the other 13 inferior versions of Can I kick it? .. and to be honest the bit I liked most about Can I kick it? was the Lou Reed bit

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

3/5

I was a bit dubious as this followed another hip hop album that I really did not like … but I should have known that the Jurassic 5 boys wouldn’t let me down 😎

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

3/5

A good album … feels like more than a 3 but at the same time I’m not sure it’s a 4 🤷‍♀️

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

The Residents

2/5

I was intrigued after the first couple of tracks… but by the end I was over it.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

3/5

I liked it but was also slightly disappointed… i expected to love it

Fragile

It wasn’t terrible … but I still don’t like Prog Rick

Love it ❤️

Movies

Holger Czukay

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

2/5

Standard rock … but not for me

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Solid Bob

Transformer

Lou Reed

5/5

Perfect … another album that I listened to on repeat in my late teens and even though I haven’t heard it in several years all the memories came flooding back and I sang along to every word. Loved it ❤️

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

1/5

I tried. I really did. Why do they have to be SO LOOOOOONNNNGGGG 🥱

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

A bit short and a bit samey … but otherwise perfectly average OK album

Tidal

Fiona Apple

2/5

I’ve heard of Fiona Apple but her music has until now passed me by. I was expecting something quite rocky/grungy after reading the reviews … but I was disappointed (and bored by the end).

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

3/5

Fun times … I liked it 👍

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

3/5

I was pleasantly surprised … didn’t think I’d like it

Superunknown

Soundgarden

2/5

Average American rock

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

SuperFly 👌

Basket of Light

I liked the ones that everyone likes

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard is here … boo wop!

Solid Air

John Martyn

2/5

Might have pushed it to a 3 if he hadn’t mumbled the entirety of the lyrics

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Not my favourite Chili Peppers album … but still quite good. Marked down to 3 due to length.

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

3/5

Reminiscent of stuff I was listening to in my late teens… would probably have liked it much more then, but still enjoyed it.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

4/5

Ok. I’ll admit it. This isn’t bad.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

In common with other Stevie albums on this list there are 4 or 5 fantastic tracks on this album and 4 or 5 ok tracks … so I can’t give it 5⭐️

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

2/5

I’m sure I heard a tune or two in there somewhere which were somewhat enjoyable.

I have nothing bad to say about this album … but just didn’t click for me.

Milton Nascimento

3/5

Cool 😎

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

2/5

Average … but a bit too long.

On The Beach

Neil Young

2/5

It was fine … Neil Young may be a great songwriter, but he is not a great singer.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Unmistakably Leonard Cohen … a great album but doesn’t have the nostalgia of the earlier ones.

Os Mutantes

3/5

Pleasantly bonkers 🤪

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

3/5

Wouldn’t have ordinarily chosen to listen to this type of thing but I liked it

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

Slightly disappointed … It wasn’t bad but I expected more from such a classic album

Born In The U.S.A.

Bought this album off the back of Them Changes … love the album art … love Them Changes … Funky but maybe a tad too many fillers.

Imagine

Jealous Guy is a great song .. but I like the Roxy Music version more. Imagine is also a great song … but I feel like I’ve heard it too often. The album was fine, but I thought I’d like it more.

Good songs. Whiney voices 🙉
