Five Leaves Left
Nick DrakeI've never listened to Nick Drake before but I know some people love him. Unfortunately I'm not one of them. I gave up on this dreary rubbish after 4 tracks. 1 Star for his pleasant voice.

Piano is not my thing but this album is quite nice to listen to. The sound production is excellent. I listened on Spotify through the Harmon Kardon system in a BMW 740. It sounded very good.
Not a great album , it really shouldn't be on this list. Sounds like Bowie trying to copy Paul Weller and failing miserably. Two good tracks. I'll let other people decide what they are.
I'm not a big jazz fan but I've been listening to it recently. This is a very well known album. I've never listened to it but I recognised many of the tracks which have made their way into TV shows and adverts over the years. A short album which seemed to be over before I'd really settled into it. A pleasant enough 38 minutes
Another dreary , boring album. Why is it on this list? It has no redeeming features whatsoever. If I could give it zero stars I would.
I enjoyed this album but I have to question whether it is exceptional enough to be on this list. Other bands around the early 90s were doing similar things. 4 stars for being good but not brilliant.
Beach boys 17th studio album was hailed as a return to form after some lackluster releases. It's a departure from their early surfer sound but still has the harmonies although not as layered as before. It's a nice enough album to listen to and the songs carried some important messages back in the day when protest songs were popular. I probably won't listen to it again for no other reason that it's not really my thing.
I'm a metal and heavy rock fan but I just don't get this noise. Plenty of other bands were making a racket like this at that time Nothing ground breaking.
A fun , foot tappin fusion of swing , jazz , blues etc but when it was released in 1956 it was already old fashioned so this is hardly a ground breaking album. Yet again I have to question why an album is on this list. I enjoyed it and tapped my feet but I won't listen to it again.
I'm not a big HipHop fan but this is ok. Not quite ground breaking having been released after De La Souls debut album but it got plenty of good press back in 1990. It passed the time when I was driving but I won't listen to it again
Available on YouTube. Satirical musical theatre. Some amusing lyrics sung in a stereotypical deep German female voice which adds to the comedy. Not the kind of thing I'd choose to listen to.
He undoubtedly wrote some fantastic songs and many acts covered them but Bob just can't sing and his nasal twang is awful. I've never understood his popularity.
I found myself tapping my feet and singing along but after about 5 tracks it began to sound the same. On it's release in 1956 swing had been around for a while so it's hardly ground breaking and was about to be blown away by rock n roll. Pleasant enough but I won't listen again
Beautiful songs played and sung beautifully but after about 4 tracks I was bored. Too slow for my liking
Classic 70s rock album packed with great tunes. This album is right up my street.
Atmospheric electronica topped with Liz Frasers ethereal vocals. Beautiful sounding album although not my usual choice of music.
A delicious slice of psych country rock , if there is such a genre. Classic late 60s Americana. Great album.
Had my feet tapping from the first note. Not usually the kind of music I listen to but I'm going to seek out more Funkadelic.
I didn't like this when it came out and I don't like it now. Soporific electro soft pop.
Neil Young has , without doubt, some great songs but he has many many more duds. The first track on this album , Cinnamon Girl,is a cracker. Down by the River could be great but is 6 min too long. The rest are turgid.
