Like most Dire Straits albums, pretty good with one absolute cracker of a track.

Aja by Steely Dan

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees

Blue by Joni Mitchell

Cloud Nine by The Temptations

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

This is the sound of 80's America. Probably should be more than a 3 as the classic tracks still sound amazing, felt the rest of the album has dated a bit.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos

Amazing album then and still is today.

War by U2

Document by R.E.M.

Bounced between a 2 and a 4. I doubt I'll listen again but can see how this would have been very influential.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3

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

Crazysexycool by TLC

Achtung Baby by U2

A grudging 4. Theres no denying that this was an epic reinvention of a band and that the album is full of great tracks. My dislike of the band and particularly Bono shouldn't really colour the review, so a 4 it is.

Make Yourself by Incubus

Sneaky 3. I was ready to give a 2 but as an album it works better than the individual songs. Doubtful I'll listen again though which is normally a prerequisite for a 3.

In Rainbows by Radiohead

Cited as a classic for a reason. Quite beautiful.

My Generation by The Who
