Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

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

Music in Exile

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

2/5

Channel Orange

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

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
