Metallica by Metallica

Bit dull - unlikely to revisit.

Brothers by The Black Keys

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes

Always loved this. Forgot how good it was

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra

Just wonderful.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

Familiar favourite

Moving Pictures by Rush

Not as terrible as I feared.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground

Not my go to VU Album - but my, it’s good

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers

Ridiculous teenage angst. Love it!!

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Yeah. Remember why I didn’t ever listen to this album end to end. Couple of gems - generally pants

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea by PJ Harvey

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes by TV On The Radio

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

You had to be there I suppose…

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen

Usually see Springsteen as a Playlist artist. Make your own setlist and pretend you're at a 3 hour show. Not enjoyed listening to Springsteen album in it's entirety as much as this one.

All That You Can't Leave Behind by U2

What is it with the late 90s / early 2000s. Put all your singles as first 3 tracks and then the album fizzles rather than builds. In fairness - I expected to hate it - but wasn’t terrible

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo by The Byrds

The Byrds. I like The Byrds. Oh dear - what the heck is this?!? No issue with the genre shift - just that it is so pedestrian and has absolutely no place on this list.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp

Like a bit of Goldfrapp. Not spectacular- but a good listen.

Rubber Soul by Beatles

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age

Be by Common

Let It Be by The Replacements

The Bends by Radiohead

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Dog Man Star by Suede

Connected by Stereo MC's

Probably the best album that absolutely shouldn’t be on this list.

The World is a Ghetto by War

Close To The Edge by Yes

Yes. I’m not enjoying the prog albums. Unsure why these are so iconic and therefore making this list. Not terrible - but will never revisit

Face to Face by The Kinks

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

This instead of 'Orange' on the list?! Tell me Orange is on the list. Nobody needs to listen to this album before they die.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) by The Kinks

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons

Didn't like this album at the time. Genuinely surprised upon listening today. A lot to appreciate.

Parallel Lines by Blondie

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods

Reign In Blood by Slayer

Disintegration by The Cure

Lovely surprise. Definitely will listen to again.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

Another surprise. Dirty yet melodic. Not what I expected. Sounds fresh given stuff from that era has aged terribly.
