Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

1/5

Awful. High pitched singing. Same piano chords and safe guitar

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

Yeah not bad. Not sure who's listening to this other than middle class teenage girls in their giving the finger to their parents after Ben told they can't stay out past 11pm

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

2/5

Good enough album. Where is mind is obviously miles above everything else

The College Dropout

Kanye West

5/5

Know this album well. It's excellent start to finish. Hard to listen to him now knowing his feelings on Nazis. He committed career suicide and it has tarnished his legacy

1984

Van Halen

2/5

Encapsulates that sound synonymous with the 80s. Lots to like here. Some great tracks for road trips.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

Hard to believe this is a third album by an artist from 1965. It sounds so new, timeless and mature. Such a high quality recording. A really great album. Blown away listening to this.

The Band

4/5

Interesting music. Very familiar sounding. Either they were ahead of the game or copying the styles of the time. Definitely getting Beatles vibes but quite enjoyable.

Street Signs

Ozomatli

3/5

Lots to like. Upbeat. Worldly. Positive messages with a nice hip hop vibe to it. The album does get a bit long in the tooth after a while.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Straight up classic rock album. No bad songs, no filter. Flows really well start to finish

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

1/5

Dear lord this music had a time and place, really hard to listen to all the while evoking a picture of a young Ron Howard.

Low

David Bowie

4/5

Very good eclectic mix from Bowie.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

2/5

Some great songs on here I've heard sampled and played in movies.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

4/5

As so often with these albums I've never heard they have one maybe two really strong sounds usually at the start then the rest of the album is just a bit flat. This one however is great all the way through

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

1/5

Yeah instrumental hard rock. Ok I'll just be over here waiting for tomorrow

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

3/5

I'm a big fan of live albums and this is no exception. Would've been quite the trip to see these boys live back in the day

Marquee Moon

Television

1/5

Had to turn it off.

OK Computer

Radiohead

3/5

A good album start to finish. It's a bit self indulgent. Wasn't a fan of their music when it came out but after hearing it in a Father Ted episode I grew to enjoy some of it

Trio

Dolly Parton

3/5

A nice collaboration of three quality singers.

Guero

Beck

3/5

Good album. Maybe if I had bought the CD in the 2000s I would have forced myself to listen to again and again.

Berlin

Lou Reed

2/5

Strange album dynamic. Doesn't flow well.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

Some lovely jazz

Paul Simon

4/5

Really nice album. Lots of great story telling and what seems like making up the songs on the spot but hey it's Paul Simon so in sure he took his time constructing the album. Maybe Julio helped him down by the school yard

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

1/5

I think I was expecting Chaka Khan upbeat afro funk not the harmonious Chaka Zulu.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

2/5

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

Gold

Ryan Adams

1/5

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

5/5

Finally an album by a rap titan. This record along with 2001 are two of the best produced records of all time. Eminem became a household name and has stayed top of the game since this release
