Blackstar by David Bowie

A good album and a sombre feel to it before his death. Some of the songs have a melonic tone and his voice is good throughout. It is just enough to not over egged or overdone.

Play by Moby
Feb 13 2025

I have heard this many times over but it has some great tracks on there as well as a bit of fill. Its a little over long but the standout tracks Honey, Why does my heart feel so bad Natural Blues and porcelain are worth it. I also like the instrumentals like Everloving and the banging Bodyrock is also a grabber.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Feb 14 2025

I have heard this album before too. I really like the melocholy of Morrisseys lyrics and upobeat sounds of Marrs Guitar. I was too young to get into them first time around so never seen them live however this is an exceptional album. My light stays on for them

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Feb 17 2025

Another I knew well. Love the heavy Tom Morello guitar and the venom spitting the lyrics a real call to arms. F you I won't do what you tell me.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Feb 18 2025

Soulful Marvins voice is great here and I like the accompanyment with the talking bits. tight band some stand out tracks. A pleasent listen.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Feb 19 2025

I like Tracy's voice Ive heard it before but its been years and was nice to revisit it. Revolution song speaks volumes and Fast car is a classic. Most songs are great nice easy listen and chilled out vibe with an acoustic feel.

War by U2
Feb 20 2025

U2 get bad press but I liked this admittedly its a little over long and drifts off towards the end but Sunday Bloody sunday what an opener.

Harvest by Neil Young
Feb 24 2025

Not his best but dome good songs on here a little forgettable but worth a revisit

Feb 25 2025

I like Kanye West or Ye and a rapper I like his tone. I have his first 2 albums and Yeezus but lost interest in his later stuff. This album passed me by has some great songs on there however tails a bit off at the end and over long. A pleasant suprize.

Awesome love Massive Attack nice beats blend between singing and rapping chilled out but pionient.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Feb 28 2025

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Mar 11 2025

Excellent. Heard it before a a underattted album but Neighbourhood is a bit better

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Mar 12 2025

Not a Fall fan after seeing Mark E Smith smashed at Glasto ruining every song but this was suprisings well put together

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Mar 13 2025

Not really a Blues fan but found this quite sooything strangely. must have been the mood I was in.

Movies by Holger Czukay

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 18 2025

Love this album my dad used to play it when i was a kid lots of warm memories.

Synchronicity by The Police
Mar 19 2025

Not bad Stings voice is excellent in places

Mar 21 2025

Really liked this. Chuck D is a great rapper love the samples and mixing and production. Flava Flav just ruins it at times with his shouting and blurring out nonscense.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Mar 24 2025

No Back in Black but i love the trade mark sound of ACDC the stops the riffs. I even like later albums rock or bust for example.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Mar 25 2025

I like this some classics on there

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Mar 26 2025

I liked it. I didnt think I would but some good songs on here and a 60s chilled out vibe

Electric by The Cult
Mar 27 2025

Started well but the voice grated on me and it was a lot of unecessary solos and yeahhhhs

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 31 2025

Excellent album been in my collection for years. Every sone great on it feel the riff between Stevie and Lyndsey and the riffs in the tracks. The chain is iconic

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Apr 01 2025

Not my thing. Too busy

The Undertones by The Undertones
Apr 02 2025

Punk at its finest however it was over long and got a bit samey at times.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Apr 03 2025

over long but great voice i just dont like long tracks. plus not on spotify

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Apr 04 2025

Man im depressed now. Started off like Nick Cave then dropped off a cliff. His voice just too much. The odd song but an album it left me weary.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Apr 07 2025

Not something I normally listen to but I enjoyed it.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Apr 08 2025

Classic album owned and heard may times. A sound track to my Adolencense

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Apr 14 2025

I like this typical Rolling Stones rock n roll

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Apr 18 2025

Needed this today after two blues albums back to back. It had a Metellica feel to it without being all out metal more of a punk twist. It started very well then got so unbelievably samey. It just stopped registering it became white noise.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Apr 21 2025

Not the best but has that nice beat to most songs and catchy rawness that makes Depeche Mode

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 23 2025

Nice jangly sounds and catchy songs

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Apr 24 2025

its ok quick guitar and energy is always welcome but its a bit much at times Bruces voice is a little off and not many lyrics. It does what it says on the tin I suppose but Maiden have done far better albums.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Apr 25 2025

Suprisingsly catchy and good. a grower

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
May 01 2025

Good. I love Shane and the irish sounds that the pogues produce however a little over long.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
May 07 2025

Yeah I like it weird psychadelic at times but good voice very spiritual. It reminds me of the Flaming lips

Debut by Björk
May 08 2025

Pleasantly suprised I like the odd Bjork song but found her a little too weird and skreetchy at time but this albulm is great nice blend of dance, pop and compliments her sweet tones rather than skreetchy ones.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
May 09 2025

Not really my bag not stood the test of time however appreciate the voice and the musicianship.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
May 13 2025

Not bad a little slow in places easy listening

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 14 2025
Ten by Pearl Jam
May 15 2025

Rocky you have to be in the mood but at least 3 or 4 great songs on there. Even flow, Alive and Jeremy especially good. its just a bit over long and a little self indugent for a rock album.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
May 16 2025

Good voice over dramatic at times

Superunknown by Soundgarden
May 20 2025

People rave over Chris Cornal and yes some good riffs here but not ground breaking Black hole sun is a masterpiece but the rest blends into one

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
May 22 2025

Fabtastic Album owed it for decades it was nice to revisit it

The Specials by The Specials
May 26 2025

New Ska beat to this and some good tracks got the bounce and swig to it. I dont mind it but now 100% my thing

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
May 27 2025

Pleasent enough for Jazz I guess

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
May 28 2025

Its okay

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
May 29 2025

I quite liked this old school rock however it left me a little empty. It had all the ingredients but just didn't resonate

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
May 30 2025

Its well put together and I enjoyed it although not sure it left a huge impression well not as much as I would have liked being McCartney. Having said that the band tight and his voice is good got lots of hooks, thrills and spills its no Beatles obviously but its solid enough

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jun 06 2025

ok not really my bag. A bit forgettable could have been better but seemed lazy

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jun 09 2025

I really like Zep. Plants voice may grate some people but its rock n roll. jimmy Page is arguebly the best guitarist in the world with his licks which this album is full of. he manages to play lead and rytham effortlessly and the drums are so tight by Bonam arguebley the best drummer in the world at that moment in time.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jun 11 2025

Too experimental for me 8 min tracks too long without much diversity. I can see why some people like it and there are the odd sample mix that sounds good but overall not my thing.

Diamond Life by Sade
Jun 16 2025

Not really my thing but she has an amazing voice no doubt

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Jun 18 2025

Pharells voice is great its got a sick beat to most songs its well worked not really my genre but I was quite suprised in a good way.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Jun 19 2025

Good 80s synth i saw samples from other songs I had heard like basement jax which was a suprise. good voice and vibe

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Jun 20 2025

very long experimental piece. Not for me

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jun 23 2025

A good album and a sombre feel to it before his death. Some of the songs have a melonic tone and his voice is good throughout. It is just enough to not over egged or overdone.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jun 25 2025
Jun 26 2025

Not entiley my thing some aspect with the array of instruments was fantastic and the tempo and voices are good. It just has that combine harvester wurzles feel about it that niggles me a bit.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jun 30 2025

Hate Jazz like a cat on a piano and parping

Document by R.E.M.
Jul 01 2025

Michael voice is on point. I love REM since being a kid and their early stuff really resonates with me.

Melodrama by Lorde
Jul 02 2025

I love Lordes delivery on this album her voice is on point and she uses it as a instrument in itself. The tracks are solid especially Green Light it is a clever pop song with simplisity in the chords but made so much pionient with her voice married to it.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 03 2025

Not a huge fan but the slap bass and stand out tracks makes it a good album.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jul 04 2025

Really like this it has a nice flow. I like his voice and it's rock but not over done with unnecessary solos. Nice riffs and tight. I will listen to more by them

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jul 08 2025

Brilliant Dylan writes the most impressive Lyrics and folk based guitar and delivery marry so well. It took me years to appreciate how good he is and this is a prime example.Story telling hazy folky poetic

Night Life by Ray Price
Jul 09 2025

quite liked this country vibe slow down yeehaw whiskey shoot them at high noon cowboy jitty

Fragile by Yes
Jul 11 2025

A little overlong and some tracks are bleeps and samples of a min or so. Roundabout is fantastic and some of the tracks are ok Prog rock but nothing to write home about. some anoying piano on some tracks that is unecessary

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jul 15 2025

Was not what I was expecting real bluesy tones. I did not however appreciate 14 min tracks but I do think its a decent album more of a background affair though

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 17 2025

I hated Metallica until hearing this album. This took me by the hand a softly popped me into the chaos. Kirk is excellent on guitar throughout, James vocals are fantastic it is littered with great songs unforgiven, Through the never, enter sandman all amazing so is sad but true and where ever i may roam even the ballad Nothing else matters is a great song. Good stuff thatstood the test of time a gateway into the heavier stuff and pionners of the rock mainstream cross over.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jul 21 2025

The Bowie infulence is strong with this one. I like Iggy even the Stooges stuff but there are some great stand out tracks Passenger, Lust for life definetley up there.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jul 22 2025

I liked this. Amy had such a soulful voice and the production is great. her voice was one of a kind. It is not strictly my sort of genre but i appreciate it.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 23 2025

Great stuff from the Boss. Love his tone and his blue collar rock and roll. Some great storytelling here in these songs that paint a picture and takes you away. The guitar is also great and complements his voice.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Great Album I love Toni Iomis riffs and Ozzys voice is bang on. It has stoofd the test of time and gives its own dark edge to Rock. A real classic album that everyone should listen too at least once. R.I.P the prince of Darkness Ozzy a true showman on and off the stage.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 25 2025

I think he has a great voice but a little over the top at times with the theatrical. Want One was a better album this seems a little like the stuff left over.

Jul 28 2025

Norman at his best. I remember growing up with this album in the 90s and being at college. I was into Rock, pop, hip hop and unfortunately happy hardcore. This and Moby really changed the landscape of dance music. The mixing an sampling is fantastic and even when he writes a song like Praise you with it's awesome video it just rocks. Build it up tear it down at the beginning of Human Traffic really showed how influential Fatboy slim is to the dance culture. A fantastic album.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jul 29 2025

I liked this I like a reggae beat and this ticks boxes. Bob has a decent voice and the Wailers are tight. Nivce vibes for cooking to and bobbing around the disco its pleasant but not amazing but its not my first choice of genres.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jul 30 2025

Psychodelic Electronica!!! I liked it I didnt know much kraftwork beforehand but they were well ahead of their time. The odd track was too advengarde for me but it was overall very good. Will check out more

Aug 01 2025

Typical Rod really. Maggie May is one of the best songs he wrote if not the best so it's at least a point for that alone. The rest is not bad bit Dad rock he isn't really my bag don't like ehis voice much and he is a bit of a perv to say the least.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Aug 05 2025

Its got a heavy beat which you expect but it lacks in places. The Riffs are there and tracks like One which is a favourite of mine are outstanding but that is One exception. It Thrashy which you expect but musically metallica are better than this. its okay however the Black Album Metallica and even the live S & M version with strings and an Orchestra offers a more sophisticated and generally better version of them. Yes its Metal but thrash thrash thrash can be lazy and with songs like One and others they are better than that.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Sep 02 2025

I remember this album first time around. Love the chimbes of Squiyes guitar and lyrics and delivery of Brown. Some classic songs Waterfall, She bangs the drum and Reserection. A must for a MADchester Factory experience from an established band great baggy beats from Remi and super catch riffs

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Sep 03 2025

I liked this heard the odd album before but its got some nice melodies

Sep 04 2025

Heard this before it in with the four albums I have a anytime for from Muse. I like the UFO gimmick they use behind everything but Matts voice can be far too wailing at times. There are some stand out tracks the singles Knights, Starlight etc Map of Prob is also extremley good invincible is ok too. However its all a little preachy and his voice skretches on the ballads and he doesnt carry it well. The drums, Bass and Guitar from the trio are tight especially the drumming and Matts solos are a bit hit and miss. Its okay but not stood the test of time for me. I also found myself disappointed the few times I have seen them live all atyle over substance.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Sep 05 2025

It is okay just a bit dated nothing memorable really bit wishy washy nothing exciting or ground breaking yet not offensive.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Sep 08 2025

Another perhaps not lasted the test of time it is an interesting listen and quite pleasent they compriment each other well and harmonise well. A good listen all around. However not really my bag overall

Bad by Michael Jackson
Sep 09 2025

Away from contriversy about what he did otr didnt do and looking at this as an album stand alone so to speak .Some of the singles still have a decent beat. They are i agree cheesy and dated but for nostelgia they do hit the spot. Nice basslines nice beats his voice although not the best fits well. However some of it is pure dross away from the singles Liberian girl for example is woeful.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Sep 10 2025

She has a voice like Bjork meets Courtney Love. It's punchy and punk but it's also a bit boring too at times. A bit samey and I can't bsee me listening much to this again.

Sep 11 2025

It's okay not fantastic some of the instrumental are annoying and it's over long and dated I got a lot bored.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Sep 12 2025

Hard work screeching noise. The riff on the first track was groovy kind of awesome in places. The rest was just a mess if I am honest hard to listen to rough noises hard work I get it's experimental but geez have some cohesion I like a heavy track and a beat but this lacked anything like that.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Sep 15 2025

I like Dolly and her country twang. The good thing about Country it's telling stories and she tells them we'll her voice is excellent. I liked Travelling man it's a favourite of mine

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Sep 16 2025

I like getting the Led out every now and again this is a good album. Nice riffs I like the slow down versions and less manic stuff where Plant shoes off his voice. Not a patch on IV but still a good one.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Sep 17 2025

It's not bad Jake's voice is pretty good in places. Laura, Mary and Take your mother out are all good solid tracks. However that Comfortably Numb cover is dreadful I couldn't remember it being so bad. I can see they tried jazz it up and put glitter on it but geez they butchered it.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Sep 19 2025

Gritty bassy pumping nice riffs Iggy Pops vocals are also great, Its just a little samey it blends a little too well for me.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Sep 22 2025

Outstanding Disco album. Will Smiths go to for creating his own music. Danced around with the Vacuum on a Sunday doing housework to this classic. I'm the greatest dancer. Good beats nice vibe good vocals loved it

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 23 2025

Love Karen O her voice is just a melting pot of emotions that drag you in. Like a duvet the band are tight you can hear different emotions coming through some great songs on hear Zero, Skeletons and Heads will roll. I really liked the acoustic versions and how it stripped back to reaveal her voice more.

Purple Rain by Prince
Sep 24 2025

Not a huge prince fan it normally look how great I am and how women love me etc etc and the length of the last song the title track filled me with dread. However there are some great soulful tracks on here along with some poppy disco greats his voice is really good on this too and as well as the singles i didnt really dislike any track its good. I do not know how often I will return to it as a collective album but I liked it.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Sep 25 2025

Decent very Bruce Springsteen I like the old rock n roll country american blue collar vibe to it.

Revolver by Beatles
Sep 29 2025

Masterpiece although last few songs didn't hit as hard as you would want

So by Peter Gabriel
Sep 30 2025

Really like this. I know he was in Genesis and of Sledgehammer but a lot of this stuff is new to me. It's punchy with an 80s feel. I like it a lot

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Oct 01 2025

Some good pop hits Beat it is fantastic love the riff. Thriller is timeless and catchy but there is some drivel on here too.

Oct 02 2025

hypnotic beats I was going on a bike ride and this pulled me through. As a stand alone it seemed a little dated a good beat behind it but not much else at times . I expected more not for me

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Oct 03 2025

Very honky tonk. some elements are good you have to be in the mood I like story telling through lyrics and this has got it but it does grate a bit after a while.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Oct 06 2025

Brilliant loved it then love it now. Still seems fresh great riffs good vocals and beats lyrically good. Cool alround it kicks in all the right places

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Oct 07 2025

Rock opera at it's very best. It's a masterpiece at times great voice great arrangement and production. Bat out of hell the song is a full on in your face wake up and enjoy anthem. Two out of three is agood ballad and paradise by dashboard light is a solid duet that you can't help move to. There are some weaker points it is beginning to sound dated and it has some nothing song on there but even for the boom intro. It's worth 4 stars. It's like nothing else

Roots by Sepultura
Oct 08 2025

Shouty shit. It does have a good bassy driving riff and beat to it but the vocals are whack in my opinion. It like RATM with nothing to say well screetch.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Oct 09 2025

Good album solid riffs nice vocals. Some of it sounds dated but it's great prog rock probably their best album IMO

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Oct 10 2025

Not as I remember Super logic and Radiator out shine it some of it was wailly and a little bit much for me at times.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 13 2025

4 long songs. last track was boring first was great but in worn me down I hate Jazz really hate Jazz and this was slow moronic jazz

Different Class by Pulp
Oct 14 2025

Absolute Class in all senses of the word. A fantastic album by a fantastic band. I love this 90s classics galore and Javis is just legendary as a front man. Great lyrics, great style tight band whats not to like

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Oct 15 2025

Not bad started a bit slow but picked up at the end

Slayed? by Slade
Oct 16 2025

Has a distictive AC/DC style riffs even touching on Quo especially coming in from track 1. However thats the genre its good old play a tennis racket as a guitar rock n roll. crowd pleasing stomp. I didnt mind it I think Slade get a bad press as a glam rock joke but they did produce some decent songs and not just a novalty rock band. Although the vocals let this down at times kinda shouty and the lyrics are minimum but its rock out bouncy so has its place in my playlist of life.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Oct 17 2025

This is surprisingly good. A little prog rock/ grunge and dated however it rides the wave set by Pearl Jam with hints of Rage Against the Machine and Linkin Park which isn't a bad mix. I don't mind it it's well put together and flies well good vocals and thrashy sounds however it's not good enough to have a place in this list it is wishy washy and a little meh at times despite all its good points.

London Calling by The Clash
Oct 20 2025

A good album overall. It does dip a bit and it blends a little however some standout tracks

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Oct 21 2025

Shout NYC hip hop. That's not a criticism it's an observation. I like the Beasties I like MCAs squeaky yeahhh boi style of rapping. I also think it marries well with Mike D low tones. The samples are great on here it's no License to I'll or Hello Nasty and not as polished as 5 boroughs but it has a gritty rough appeal it's likeable but it does grate at times. As it is soon raw.

Oct 22 2025

Started of it sounds dated and a lot of the N word and homophobic references which seem a little wrong in the year 2000. I mean Eminem may have said them in the 90s playing the Slim Shady Characters but no excuse here. Then the later songs it got better and old school vibe well delivered and great rapping especially when the woman came in they helped well. Not bad nice break from guitar riffs

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Oct 23 2025

Not one of Kate's best in my opinion some good tracks towards the end. However her voice annoyed me at the beginning too wailly. I like Kate Bush but this album fell short I left feeling short changed it seemed thoughtless

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
May 18 2026

Nice tones from the female singer a celtic folk vibe. i quite liked the cover of Blue Moon. It was all preasent enough perjhaps a little long

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
May 19 2026

Great obviously Blister in the sun is the stand out track. A lot of fast acoustic style guitar nice vocals a bit samey but good stuff in the whole.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
May 20 2026

Jangly Guitars nice stretched vocals and an early San Fransisco sound. Songs are a little lyrically weak if im honest otherwise I thought it was okay may not revisit as Mamas and Papas and other bands do this style so much better

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 21 2026

I enjoyed this album I just thought it felt soooo long. I was like where is the end of it. Some great tracks I can't fault a lot of it but it just feels so drawn out.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
May 22 2026

Lyrically brilliant from Bob. He doesn't put a foot wrong here

Dirt by Alice In Chains
May 25 2026

Good and rocky to start with but I soon got bored with lack of variation

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
May 26 2026

Caught me at the right time this as I just watched EPIC and was blown away. His voice and persona. Some bangers on here too his voice carries it and shine through a good album. Really shone through

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
May 27 2026

Top stuff. Like Sabbath they bring heavy riffs and harrowing vocals from Lemmy. I enjoyed it more to them than Ace of Spades

A Northern Soul by The Verve
May 28 2026

It's not the best offering from the Verve. Ashcrofts voice is decent on this an dot offers Hazy guitars and flowing rhythm but doesn't quite hot the mark.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
May 29 2026
My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jun 01 2026

Not bad a little bland in places. Very 12 bar his voice and lyrics stand up. Not one song on here matches pump it up no real riffs Not horrible but not for me

Jun 02 2026

Not the best from the God Father of soul. It was a miss mash of jumbled up noise. May have been awesome seeing it live but via a recording it was beyond messy. Just noise no distinctive sound. I thought it better when Cold Sweat came on then noticed that the album had finished and that was a random track.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jun 03 2026

Loved this up until the last track which was car crash. Really cool 80s synth throughout with catch lyrics and great drumming

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 04 2026

Decent record Killing Moon obviously stand out track. However a lot a synth filled fun. His voice was great on this and lots a whirling guitar.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jun 05 2026

Its Punk very Ramones, perhaps a little Motley Crue and even Kiss in places punchy does a thing not that bothererd itll be good live its got attitude not much to dislike but doesnt massiveley speak to me. I can see it having a following and its quite tight at times and all over the place at others the guitars are good and drumming pretty good too vocals I would say he hold key. Nothing amazing middle of the road stuff

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 08 2026

Love Fleetwood Mac Stevie Nick vocals are unreal. Tight band funky rock songs 😎 Not quite the passion of Rumours but still good album

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jun 09 2026

I liked this chilled folk nice \guitar warm vibe and a decent voice and lyrics.

John Prine by John Prine
Jun 10 2026

Very Country I thought it a little over long and got a little bored. Some good stuff on here witty lyrics nice feel but a little mundane

American Pie by Don McLean
Jun 11 2026

3 stars for American Pie the song on its own. I didnt mind this album vincent is a also a great song although some of the latter songs felt like just fill.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jun 12 2026

I wasnt looking forward to this what with Brians allogations of assault and the fact its over an hour of screamy heavy raaaa hate the world lyrics and look at me I'm a deprived demon. However its got good riffs a hard bassline and real quality in places. I am not a metalhead but can appreciate good music and talent and there is a lot of that here. I have to detract the album from the contoversy. Once you have done that its pretty good for what it is . not my genre but it has something that draws you in. I remember The Beautiful People which is the highlight track still

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jun 15 2026

Bit weak from a decent band. Love Iggy but this was drosh at times. Started well then just dialed it in and didn't really get out of second gear

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 16 2026

This is a fantastic album starts typical Neil Young his voice croaking through with lovely guitar work on an acoustic very sedate folk then errupts later in the album to Rock N Roll with rral energy a fan of this one

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jun 17 2026

Some classic songs on this album real decent riffs catchy lyrics and a overall good vibe . However toward the end of the album the catchy classic riff element drys up rapidly.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jun 18 2026

Not a patch on later albums and although some nice riffs the vocal lack here. Lyrics are poor too they have had somne good songs in the past non of which are on here. They are a rare band that have got better in time. There is no gloss or clean beats here just muffled chuggy bass and distorted guitars overshadowing vocals blending into one . One or two songs are okay but seems an album of fillers no stand out tracks really. Shame

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jun 19 2026

Sexy cool smooth like silk his voice the vibe of this album is fantastic. I love it its got soul and blues and it just stands out.

Boston by Boston
Jun 22 2026

Love this pop prog American rock perfect ion

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jun 23 2026

Suprisingly good. I never really resonated with Thin Lizzy but I enjoyed this live album it is however a little long but hey its a live set so what would you expect. Nice riffs solid vocals a little Clarkson style Dad Rock otherwise its wasnt bad at all.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jun 24 2026

People think this is boring I think it's great it entertaining it's chilled it's acoustic it's loud it's experimental it brilliant

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jun 25 2026

Some great song but very dated angry young man syndrome. Piggy is ok and a few others Reptile etc Hurt but prefer Johnny Cashs version more point. Over all a lot of shouty shit with a few good songs. I like the way he whispers at times to offer dynamic but I had headache afterwards I guess you needed like them In the 90s to like them now.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 26 2026

Not th best but some great stuff here from Jeff. They write catchy pop inspired songs with nice melodies a little safe but still enjoyable

The Score by Fugees
Jun 29 2026

Still standing the test of time tight hip hop rapping without getting too gangsta They flow well and I love the in and out from Wyclef, Lauren and Praz. All three cementing hit afterwards Nice covers too made them their own while the originals shone Great album plenty of nostalgia

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Jun 30 2026

Her voice is obviously sweet and has a lovely tone. However without any substance behind Cardigans are best when playing riffs and adding something extra to the background but on this it is a little weak to be honest even Love Fool is kinda annoying and seems pointless however it is the standout track.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Jul 02 2026

Faster, Harder than a usual Manics album. Not really saying much I like the energy and do like this band but not this album.

2112 by Rush
Jul 03 2026

Are you Iron Maiden in disguise. It didn't resonate it's no Moving Pictures and sounds like soft metal meets prog rock. Ok but not awesome inspiring

Jul 06 2026

Not bad some good timeless songs not really my genre so struggled at times. Not a fan of a live album unless its is very well done someone in a smokey club. I appreciate the effort though and wouldnt turn off but would go to it either

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 07 2026

Top stuff from the Rock gods Iommi riffs and Ozzy's voice are unmistakably good. Real deep riffs and drop guitar and beats make this a fantastic album and cements their place in history Breathtaking not really a bad track only criticism is it could get wailing and grating if not I'm the mindset but today I was in that mindset.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Jul 08 2026

Just a series of squeeky voices daft noises and nonscense it garbage I dont get it at all

Jul 10 2026

Like Public Enemy this band has strong fight the power political vibes that I dig. Nice beats, lyrics and vocals. I knew the singles but the album as a while is good. Not amazing some flaws maybe a little dated sound wise but overall good message and nice beats.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jul 13 2026

Masterpiece jangly Marr and Vocals from Morrisey make this album irresistable like most Smiths albums melochaly lyrics nice riffs jolly sarcastic vocals great stuff

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jul 14 2026

My head dropped when I saw Guns and Roses Axels whiney voice and all the over the top cliches. However this album took me back to all that was good about them. Great riffs vocals drew me in instead of repeling me nice drumming some classic rock anthums mixed into the lesser know stuff which was interesting and a little underrated.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jul 15 2026

Amy's voice is unmistakable it's sheer brilliants effortlessly hitting the notes. This album is fantastic it offered that bossa nova sound tat was lacking in an Indie rock and pop filled market. It has also stood the test of time since her unfortunate passing. A real talent and a well put together album as well as her amazing voice the horns and background swing/jazz/ big band works ever so well.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Jul 16 2026

Great vocals very well put together sweet sounds chilled vibes very Kate Bush. Unfortunutly a little boring towards the end I got sick of it.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Jul 17 2026

Not bad blues jazz one for the background but it had something in places

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 20 2026

Not really one for Jazz but this wasn't too bad. As background or lift music or out for a meal it works. Foreground it's a different story

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jul 21 2026

Good rapping vocals are on point and it has a decent beat. Nice lyrics however it just feels dated and very samey the samples dont change much so was a little disappointed.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Jul 22 2026

I enjoyed this other than a handful of songs I didn't know much about these. Pleasently surprised they have decent rhythm and beats and the songs have a deep Massive Attack breakbeat feel dirty bass the vocals are also decent enough..I would revisit them.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jul 23 2026

Prog rock some nice riffs Sunshine is an epic anthem and great fun. The rest kinda blended a bit I think it needs more listens it was just okay

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jul 24 2026

Just getting in to PJ second album I heard of hers and I must admit I like her voice it has real quality. The songs are decent enough here without being amazing. Lacks a decent riff or two. In there and the lyrics ain't the strongest still it's pleasant enough

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jul 27 2026

Didn't know much about these recognised Layla from Clapton and it is one of the best rock songs of all time. However it is surrounded in Blues tracks some of which are tedious. Now I love blues normally but this is long drawn out self indulgence I was bored waiting for Layla. This is a 30 mins album stretched out to 1hr 16 mins and it's painful at times. I give it 2 for Layla

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jul 28 2026

Some great songs on here perfect for a summer drive along the country lanes. Great soulful voices and catch beats

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Jul 29 2026

Not bad it's not a patch on Pumpkins or even the Chillis but I appreciate the rock aspect of this album

Tical by Method Man
Jul 31 2026

I liked this but I like hip hop. Very WU Tang which is expected. It kicks nice beats and use of shinonbi and Kung Fu b movie slots and samples. Slow deep tones in the vocal style. It's good although you need to be in the mood to fully appreciate it. I also feel I should like this more than I really do.

Aug 03 2026

This was okay but got a bit annoying. It lacked lyrics and was a bit meh in places not enough to grab my attention I won't be back

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 05 2026

Nick Cave story telling at its best. He has this atmospheric sound to his records and not the best voice does spoken word and half singing or simply collaborates. My daughter hated this but I love Nick Cave you can just listen to him and he draws you near

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Aug 06 2026

An inspiring idea it just got annoying quickly

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Aug 10 2026

God Mother of Soul this has some classics on here her voice pops it's a great album with some great backing instrumentals that compliments everyone and everything

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Aug 11 2026

The Black Album allowed me to tap in to the heavier side of Metallica. I like this album good heavy metal sound to it. Love the riffs and stop start it is tight and you can have a raaa moment to it but you have eto be in a raaa mood.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 12 2026

Another from back in the day 1979, Bullet For Butterfly wings, Tonight Tonight all smashing songs. Really nice work here from Billy's vocals to the riffs and switch from ballad to rock anthems. I just think it was too long I get one day album one night but I struggle to listen to this in on ego it's just a top much. It's quite heavy and in bits brilliant in other areas hard. However it's a classic album that more than deserving to be here.
