5/5

Thick sticky aural jam. I throughly enjoyed this album- and I don’t expect to.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

I truely believe it’s a metal masterpiece and an excellent depiction of its era. However, listening to it in 2025 I can’t help but think it’s theatre rock- it could and should be a Broadway musical. High energy and extremely animated. A good way to start the day, adds 2.5x speed to whatever you’re doing.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

3/5

Can appreciate the complexity of the arrangements but his voice just depresses me in a way that I don’t want to be.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

Bringing It All Back Home

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

David Bowie

3/5

Purely rated on personal preference, it’s hard to be objective because I don’t enjoy the style of music. It’s very unique and an interesting listen.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

1/5

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

3/5

Odelay

Beck

3/5

It’s a good background album to have on maybe at work. It’s not overly enthralling nor offensive. It’s almost a blend of surf rock, groove and pop. I can see a small subset of bands sitting in this genre, non of which I’ve listened to since I was young.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

3/5

I’m sure it’s a great album for the genre but It’s not for me

Stankonia

OutKast

5/5

And epic addition to the hip hop category, bringing an instrumental flavour relatively unheard from the south. I like it a lot

1999

Prince

5/5

I’ve honestly never listened to Prince in length, and I’m only sorry I didn’t sooner. I thought the album was an an education on how pop should be done. Untwined funk and soul- it was brilliant.

Dust

Screaming Trees

4/5

I really like this album, it reminded me of mashup between Alice in chains, audio space and a twist of country. An Easy listening album, nothing too polar about it.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

Not many things better than blues is there?

It didn’t blow my mind. It was a nice album to listen to but it didn’t evoke anything from within me

I’m realising pretty quick that I’m not a Bowie fan, I know that’s a criminal offense- so I do apologise. Thankyou for the opportunity to listen however.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

Street Signs

Ozomatli

It really was a great pleasure to listen to this album, I enjoyed it alot. Peak 90s

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

Fun album, excellent for the 70s too

The Stone Roses

3/5

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

2/5

It wasn’t as outstanding as some of the other albums I’ve listened to, not to say it wasn’t good, just by comparison- was lacking a bit

Violent Femmes

5/5

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

2/5

Ten

It was nice but it didn’t blow my mind in the way that other albums did.

Kendrick Lamar

Chelsea Girl

Nico

1/5

Really makes me feel better about my karaoke game. Really not for me this one, hard for my ears to swallow.

The Undertones

3/5

Was pretty good but not as iconic (for me) as something like the Ramones. Different styles I know but can’t give everyone high marks

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Thriller

Michael Jackson

Even if you don’t like him, the album was significant wasn’t it.

2/5

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

What a great album! I didn’t realise how many songs I (first) knew, and (second) liked! It had an excellent range of tracks and tempos and thoroughly enjoyed it! Thankyou so much!

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

Pretty good. Can’t argue

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

5/5

You want to hate it but it’s almost a guilty pleaser. Outside of linking park, they’re the peak of nu metal- a mash of hip hop, scratching, metal by angry young men rejected by too many women. A Peak 2000s album that crossed from a sub-genre to mainstream.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

It was a pleasant listen, a good album for a spectrum of ages I’d say. Wasn’t as genre defining as some of the albums I’ve listened to

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

It didn’t blow me away. Johnny cash had more of a profound impact on me.

Back In Black

AC/DC

5/5

Pretty iconic. Raspy voice, instantly know who it is and what they’re about.

Traffic

2/5

Personal preference, nothing to do with the greatness of the album

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

5/5

Thick sticky aural jam. I throughly enjoyed this album- and I don’t expect to.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

5/5

I feel bad for all the 5 stars I’ve given now, because this was 100% deserving. A great album

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

This

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Iconic album. Completion nostalgic for me. I remember when this came out on cassette and my mum dropped me at a friends house. My friend and I listened to it with one headphone each ontop of a stack of hay bails on a really sunny evening- that was way before the world went to shit. Fun album!

GREY Area

Little Simz

3/5

Really great album.

En-Tact

The Shamen

3/5

It’s like the 80s and 90s conceived an album in space.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

Blur

2/5

I thought I’d like it more to be honest. Some very impressive tracks on it though.

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

2/5

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

2/5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

3/5

Without knowing the band and lead singers history- it’s essentially listening to a raspy pained voice for a while.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

2/5

I can see how influential this was, and what artists were inspired by this. It wasn’t something I’d listen to again but glad I listening to it- pretty good tracks on it but didn’t enjoy the entire album

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

1/5

5/5

Great album

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

4/5

I actually really like the album personally, it feels like a big 60s edging experience. Like Jefferson aeroplane are about to bust-out on stage directly after.

No Other

Gene Clark

3/5

Was a good listen

Street Life

The Crusaders

5/5

Sensational. This is by far the best album I’ve listened to, objectively. Top 1%

The Cars

3/5

Germs

3/5

Medium well done punk, at its finest.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

4/5

I liked the long builds and the first half of the album was great. There were a few tracks that were industrially scratchy/repetitive- so you have to be in the right mood for it. But a great album, very interesting

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

1/5

Can’t say i appreciated this album in any way. Not my jam at all.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

Fun album
