Linkin Park
4/5
Reminds me of being an angry teenager. I enjoyed this album, the mix of beats, rock, hip hop and angry yelling is a fun mix.

Very cool. Listen to this album walking through a city at night and it feels like a soundtrack.

Louis Prima
3/5
Very clear vocals and easy to bop along to. I like a good scat as well. I probably wouldn't listen to it again but it was enjoyable to have on in the background.
De La Soul
2/5
I thought I looked old school hip hop but this didn't really do much for me. There was some funky tracks in there and some classic tracks which I have heard samples from in Krafty Kuts sets.
Earth, Wind & Fire
3/5
I thought I looked old school hip hop but this didn't really do much for me. There was some funky tracks in there and some classic tracks which I have heard samples from in Krafty Kuts sets. Africano is the best track, quite a funky beat and some nice changes.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
I like some of the sounds, particularly the electronic sounds. I can barely hear the lyrics though. Living in Paradise is my favourite track from this album.
Curtis Mayfield
2/5
Some tracks had me grooving but generally didn't feel anything for this album.
Talking Heads
1/5
Forgettable album. I learned where the song Psycho Killer came from.
Metallica
4/5
Pretty good album. I get why it is so famous. Enter Sandman is the best track but Wherever I may roam is my second favourite. I liked the energy of the album.
Sonic Youth
2/5
I feel like an angry teenager in the 90s hanging out in the park. This also reminds me of Scott Pilgrim.
Portishead
2/5
Beats are interesting but I can't quite hear the lyrics.
The Zombies
2/5
Forgettable psychedelic rock album. Not really for me.
The Mamas & The Papas

1/5
Not for me.
Scott Walker
3/5
I enjoyed this one, really clear easy voice.
Prince
1/5
Not feeling anything for this album. Some of the grooves are funky but not really enjoying this album.
3/5
I enjoyed this. Nice grooves had me bopping along.
David Bowie
2/5
A better David Bowie album but still not for me.

Song 2 and Beetlebum are great but the rest of the album didn't make any impact on me.

2/5
I'm still not a country music fan but this was easy to listen to

I didn't feel anything for this album.
Slayer
2/5
Not my kind of metal but I enjoyed it.
Joni Mitchell
2/5
Nice easy listening album. I enjoyed it.
Elliott Smith
1/5
Not for me. Easy to listen to but I didn't feel the deeper message.
Mike Oldfield
2/5
The start of this was epic but quickly devolved into something I wasn't too keen on
Alanis Morissette
4/5
Great album. I really enjoyed the energy and the lyrics behind the songs. Nice to hear where the Ironic song originated.
Talvin Singh
2/5
I like electronic music but this wasn't really for me. I liked the combination of sounds but it wouldn't be something I listen to.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
I enjoyed this album, I need to read more into the lryrics but a few songs were good and I enjoyed Californication.
Sister Sledge
4/5
Really enjoyed this album. Most tracks had a great funk to them. He's the greatest dancer and we are family are my favourite tracks.
Ms. Dynamite
2/5
Smooth vocals but didn't really do anything for me.
Rod Stewart
1/5
The lyrics told a story and had meaning but the music felt like an era that wasn't for me.
The Notorious B.I.G.
1/5
This album wasn't for me. I'm sure there was a better context for listening to it but none of the tracks really stood out to me.
Bob Dylan
2/5
I'm having trouble standing his voice but I did like Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I'll go mine).
Radiohead
2/5
I liked some of the beats but the voice and lyrics were so slow and I couldn't really see the deeper meaning.
Dusty Springfield
2/5
Easy listening. I liked the later part of the album more.
The Doors
2/5
You don't hear guitar solos like this anymore. Easy to listen to but I got bored after a while
Robert Wyatt
1/5
Some beats were good but this album didn't interest me.
Jefferson Airplane
3/5
Enjoyable rock album. Somebody to Love and White Rabbit resonated with me the most and had me grooving along to them.
Kate Bush
4/5
I know Running up that hill from Stranger Things but the whole album is decent. Kate has a good voice. The album does scream 1980s and has the synths to prove it.
Tortoise
2/5
Nice instrumental album. A bit forgettable but interesting to listen to
Bonnie Raitt
2/5
Easy to listen and clear vocals. Nothing extraordinary from a soft country album.
Brian Wilson
2/5
Sonically very interesting but there was so much going on that it was tricky to follow and just felt all over the place.
Buena Vista Social Club
4/5
Really easy to listen to and great sounds. I've listened to it a few times before and find it unique and enjoyable.
Bill Evans Trio
5/5
A great jazz album. I did not like the mix in headphones, having a bass guitar next to my left ear felt unpleasant. Once I changed to mono it was a great easy listening album.
Waylon Jennings
2/5
Probably the easiest country album I have listened to. We had it all was my favourite track.
Metallica
2/5
I found this album less interesting than the black album.
Shivkumar Sharma
2/5
I listened to the original on YouTube and the one on Spotify. It isn't really for me, the music is nice but not something I would go out of my way to listen to.
Deep Purple
3/5
Fun album with some funky tunes as well as some toe tapping parts.
Run-D.M.C.
4/5
Really fun album. My favourite tracks are Walk This Way and It's Tricky. I'm not sure if all the lyrics are still acceptable for today's society.
Rage Against The Machine
2/5
Loud and angry. There are some interesting tracks but it all blended together for me.
Supergrass
2/5
The song Alright brought back Donkey Konga memories but the album was forgettable for me.
3/5
I went in with big expectations on this album being one of the most popular albums for one of the most popular groups ever. Some of the songs were great (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, With a Little Help from my Friends) and a good number I respected for being very different, experimental and interesting. Overall though this album didn't leave a huge impression on me, it's standout for sure but I can't see myself listening to it much again.
Ray Charles
4/5
Beautiful voice and music. Everything about it felt silky smooth. It did feel more like dinner party music and the slower tracks were a bit more suited than the big band tracks.
Janelle Monáe
2/5
Nice clear voice but the different styles throughout the album were a bit jarring for me.
Baaba Maal
2/5
This album wasn't for me. I couldn't get into it but it was great to hear it for its cultural value.
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
Some enjoyable tracks such as Dreams. The other tracks didn't really stand out to me. It was good to hear this album as I can hear the influence in other albums later on.
David Bowie
2/5
Highest production David Bowie album I've heard. Not something I would listen to again.
The Pogues
3/5
There is an under current of Irish music to these songs but there are many different styles throughout. I think my favourite track was Metropolis.
Ramones
2/5
All the tunes sound very similar to me except with different lyrics. They are fun though.
The Waterboys
2/5
Easy to to listen to but didn't really appeal to me.
David Bowie
2/5
Another David Bowie album. While he has a unique voice this album didn't appeal to me.
Jane Weaver
2/5
Nice electronic beats and alternative vibe. A bit dream poppy.
Nirvana
3/5
Nirvana but a bit quieter. Still struggled to hear the lyrics.
Steely Dan
4/5
Quite liked this one. Really easy to listen to and quite groovy in parts with some instrumental tracks in between. Vocals were quite clear.
Eels
2/5
I liked the Beautiful Monster song. It was in Shrek so it was nice to recognise it. Album was ok, not really my vibe.
John Lennon
2/5
Aside from Imagine I found this album a bit boring personally.
The Who
2/5
I enjoyed the sound of the first song. It was interesting hearing a historical rock and roll group.
Willie Nelson
3/5
Nice voice, easy to listen to
The Killers
3/5
Mr Brightside and Somebody Told Me were fun. I like The Killers sound, it's quite unique in a sea of modern rock music.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
2/5
Black Sabbath
2/5
Cowboy Junkies
2/5
A bit too slow for me
Cyndi Lauper
3/5
It was fun hearing Girls just want to have fun and time after time.
U2
4/5
All really distinctive sounding tracks and it doesn't feel like a rock record from the early 1980s, it feels more modern than that.
Norah Jones
4/5
Really enjoyed this easy listening album.
808 State
4/5
The beats are really cool. Feels like I'm in an old techno club or disco.
Tito Puente
3/5
Fun album which had me bopping around. It wouldn't be something that I would go out of my way to listen to but it does put me in a positive upbeat mood.
Björk
1/5
I really wanted to like this album but while it has many styles I found it wasn't resonating with me at all.
Public Enemy
2/5
Roni Size
3/5
Nice background music that had me tapping my foot.
Erykah Badu
2/5
Nice soul music but didn't catch me
Deep Purple
2/5
Some fun classic rock and roll but didn't really feel like I was at the concert.
Motörhead
2/5
Classic rock and roll, the different songs did blend into each other for me but if you like this sound then that is not a bad thing.
Don McLean
3/5
Nice singer with clear vocals and calm music. American Pie and Vincent were my favourite songs.
Kendrick Lamar
1/5
Some powerful songs and lyrics especially the last song. However it's not an album that stuck with me.
Yes
2/5
Nice to hear the origin of the first song, rest of the album was fine.
Nas
1/5
I wasn't feeling this album. I'm not really into this form of hip hop.
Donovan
2/5
Very slow at the beginning of the album. Bert's Blues stood out to me.

2/5
None of the album really caught on for me.
Dire Straits
2/5
Bit slow for me but nice rhythm and beat.
Muddy Waters
3/5
Easy listening, clear vocals.
Shack
2/5
I liked Re-instated but nothing else really stood out to me.
Rahul Dev Burman
2/5
Not having the context of the movie doesn't help. The music is nice and mostly easy to listen to.
Dexys Midnight Runners
3/5
I liked the instrumental track The Teams that meet in Caffs. I like all the horns in the tracks, good fun.
Electric Light Orchestra
3/5
Psychedelic pop music. Fun to listen to but I wouldn't return to it often.
Linkin Park
4/5
Reminds me of being an angry teenager. I enjoyed this album, the mix of beats, rock, hip hop and angry yelling is a fun mix.
Tom Tom Club
3/5
Fun pop, I enjoyed the beats of the first couple of songs and under the board walk was fun to sing along to.
King Crimson
2/5
I preferred the middle of the album more with the more instrumental tracks. I'm not a big progressive rock fan though.
Buzzcocks
2/5
Interesting punk music. Did feel a bit like the same song a number of times over though.
Janis Joplin
2/5
Lyrics were interesting and had a strong messages. Not really my kind of music though.
Derek & The Dominos
2/5
It's OK, easy to listen to. Layla was fun to hear and its later in the album.
Sinead O'Connor
3/5
Great voice! I feel to get the most out of this album you need to really pay attention to the lyrics as if it's like poetry.
fIREHOSE
3/5
Surprisingly I liked this one. It was nice to have on in the background.
Billie Holiday
2/5
I felt like I listened to a lot of slow dance songs. I like jazz but this was a bit too slow and a bit too much for me. She has a great voice though.
The Band
2/5
It's ok. Not really my kind of music.
Beatles
3/5
I always feel pressure reviewing a Beatles album due to how popular and influential this group was. I enjoyed the album, sonically it was interesting with lots of stereo effects. Yellow Submarine is my favourite track.
Arcade Fire
2/5
Didn't find it that interesting.
Elvis Costello
2/5
Lots of interesting lyrics. Not the album I found the most exciting.
Leonard Cohen
2/5

Led Zeppelin
2/5
Really good drumming on this album.
Astor Piazzolla
3/5
It's ok. A bit samey at times.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
2/5
Didn't really stand out and I'm not into punk
Missy Elliott
2/5
Nice beats but I need to understand tnt culture more to get more out of it.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
4/5
I enjoyed this one. Free Bird is the best song but a number of the tracks had me tapping my foot.
Foo Fighters
2/5
Didn't feel much from this album. Just felt like regular rock.
Ray Price
2/5
I felt like I was being serenaded. Good for a dinner party. Not a big fan of country.
The Dictators
2/5
It's OK. Still not a big punk fan.
Björk
2/5
Nice beats and grooves. Still working to warm myself up to the lyrics.
Marty Robbins
2/5
Yeehaw! Very clear voice but at the end I felt I had my fill of cowboy music. The Little Green Valley was my favourite song.
Stevie Wonder
2/5
A great voice but this album felt uninspiring.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
2/5
Janis Joplin has a strong voice but the album wasn't for me. I liked some of the extended songs, you don't hear many of them nowadays
Spiritualized
2/5
Not really into psychedelic rock but there were some long odysseys in this album
2/5
Long tracks were interesting but the album didn't interest me.
Pretenders
2/5
It was interesting to hear the song Brass in Pocket as I didn't know where it was from. The album itself was ok, not really my kind of music.
Jimi Hendrix
2/5
Pretty good guitar playing.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
2/5
It's ok.
Violent Femmes
2/5
The lyrics were interesting and the first song was a classic.

1/5
One of the most country of country music albums I have heard. Not really for me at all.
The Prodigy
5/5
Really enjoyed this album! Great fun mix of electronic and rock!
Miles Davis
5/5
Very cool. Listen to this album walking through a city at night and it feels like a soundtrack.
Ananda Shankar
2/5
Some tracks had me vibing. The Ocean was an interesting time. Would I listen it it again. Probably not. Jumpin Jack Flash was a wild start to this album.
3/5
Enjoyed parts of this album. Felt quite modern and interesting.
MGMT
2/5
Aside from the mega popular tracks (Kids, Time to Pretend and Electric Feel) the other tracks felt a bit unforgetable.
R.E.M.
2/5
Didn't really stand out to me
Elvis Presley
3/5
So I like Elvis's music. There is something infectious in it that is really catchy but I had only listened to the hits. This album hits in some ways (Blue Suede Shoes) but there were a number of tracks that just didn't resonate with me. It was interesting how inoffensive the music was on a deeper listen.
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
2/5
Didn't really find it that interesting.
Aretha Franklin
3/5
Enjoyable
The The
2/5
It's OK, didn't get me really.
Billy Joel
3/5
Nice song writing
3/5
The famous songs are great but the album as a whole was ok.
Beck
2/5
Bit slow for my taste.
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
1/5
This is one of the first albums I have had trouble working my way through. At times the noisy element of it just grinded me the wrong way. Some of the bluesy and hip hop elements were there but then a wall of distorted guitars would come flying at you.
Beatles
3/5
Nice sounding album but wasn't ground breaking for me.
Patti Smith
2/5
Gloria started out strong. The rest of the album didn't really make me tune in.
Frank Zappa
3/5
Enjoyed this one. The instrumental aspect was quite interesting.
Neil Young
2/5
Bit too soft and slow
The Beta Band
2/5
A little bit fun.
David Bowie
2/5
Didn't really drag me in.
Beck
2/5
The sound of the 90s! Some of the beats were cool and I liked the hip hop and scratches but the singing was forgettable.
The Go-Betweens
2/5
Didn't interest me at all
Doves
3/5
First half of the album I quite liked but the second half didn't really appeal to me.
B.B. King
4/5
Really enjoyed this. Great music and really nice singing.
Beatles
3/5
This really felt like a mix of experimentation. Most of the tracks flew past my ears. A few were good and Revolution 9 felt like something I would hear in a modern art gallery.
The Band
4/5
Quite enjoyed this one. Easy to listen to and a good mix of instruments.
Jimmy Smith
3/5
I like jazz. Do I like organ jazz? Less so. However this was a nice surprise.
The Temptations
3/5
Cool sound.
Minutemen
1/5
Felt like an album of sounds but maybe it was my mood today but I couldn't wait for the album to finish.
Television
2/5
Didn't stand out to me.
Rush
2/5
Some good tracks but not stand out.
Queen
3/5
This album has some mammoth hits so I was interested in the rest of the album. The hits are bangers and rightly so (Bohemian Rhapsody and You're my best friend). The other tracks are OK, nothing in particular stood out but Queens sound is unique.
John Martyn
4/5
I quite liked this album. Very easy listening.
Drive Like Jehu
1/5
I couldn't wait for this one to finish. It was really hard to listen to.
