In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

much prefer this to OK Computer - Thom Yorke's voice much better suits softer music.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

Hurt is an all-timer, but the rest of this album feels like a covers album in a way Hurt doesn't.

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

3/5

Meh

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

Bowie has a base level of competence but I'm not going to return to this. It's not surprising that Fame and Young Americans are the two songs which have entered the Bowie canon.

Ramones

3/5

It's fine, I prefer more melodic or harder punk where the song writing is more complex

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

I like the riff rock, I dislike the prog rock. Only the strongest neutral feelings.

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

If this is the last punk album to break through into the cultural mainstream, at least it goes out on an unbelievable high.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

I can't tell whether he's being playful with the genre exploration or trying too hard to separate himself from Genesis but I cannot do listening to it.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Want One

Rufus Wainwright

3/5

Penthouse And Pavement

Heaven 17

2/5

The problem is that I cannot imagine anyone enjoying this record. It's new wave with the edges sandblasted down, it has left-wing lyrics packaged with such a glossy sheen they slide right over you.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

I simply don't care for it

Miriam Makeba

3/5

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

2/5

Marquee Moon

Television

3/5

I expected more given how well this album is spoken about.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

4/5

Raw Power

The Stooges

4/5

Dunno if I prefer the Bowie mix or the Pop one, but this album slaps regardless

Joan Armatrading

3/5

Close To The Edge

Yes

2/5

This is impressive in the way someone making a Lego model of your sleep paralysis demon would be: you can marvel at the technical prowess but the artistic direction is somewhat suspect.

Berlin

Lou Reed

3/5

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

2/5
