Is this my favourite Beatles album? Well, right now it is.

Elastica

3/5

Enjoyable, would listen again. Fav tracks - Waking Up, Stutter

Adele

4/5

My wife owns this album on CD. It's the pinnacle of 21st-century Pop. You'll never catch me listening to it; I consider it "chick music," but it's full of earworms, and Adele has an incredible voice.

The Clash

4/5

I'm still trying to figure out this whole rating thing. If "London Calling" is an easy 5 (which it is), then by comparison, this is a 4. Fav track: Police & Thieves

Teen Dream

Beach House

4/5

perfect hangover bliss can't tell if you're coming down or on the way up Fav track - Norway

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

I wish I could've experienced this when it was brand new. Love the album art It has plenty of great songs, but as an album, dare I say, it's a bit overrated. It lacks cohesion and is inconsistent in terms of quality (especially in the middle). Most pleasant surprise: Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding Fav Track: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

You don't rate this album, it rates you. It told me I was a 5, and my heart rejoiced. "Out of 10", it said, and I promised to be better.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

3/5

Smile

Brian Wilson

3/5

What an interesting coincidence to randomly be assigned this album the day after Brian Wilson's passing. RIP.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

5/5

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

3/5

I preferred the live versions on disc 2 (20th anniversary definitive master). I'll probably never listen to this again, but it was ok. Fav track: Now my heart is full

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

2/5

Could you listen to Marvin Gaye sing the phone book? Are you recently divorced? If you answered yes to any of the above, this album is for you.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

2/5

The falsetto is too false-ettoey

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

3/5

The sum is greater than the parts

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

2/5

equal (?) parts cringe,fun, stoopid, and not bad

More Specials

The Specials

3/5

Listened to this on the home stretch of a looong journey from the Yukon to the Bay of Fundy, without context or forewarning. Battling exhaustion and fog so thick you could eat it with a spoon, I asked myself "what the fuck is this music" before proclaiming, "this music is on drugs, I feel like I'm on drugs", and "we're going to die". Spoiler alert - we didn't die

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Have you ever started watching a movie and realized 30 minutes in that you've seen it before but didn't remember it at all? It's kinda like that. One day I will listen to this again for the first (3rd) time and I'll probably think it was pretty neat and then completely forget about it again.

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Moondance

Van Morrison

5/5

5 stars aren't enough. S-tier album.

En-Tact

The Shamen

1/5

Paul Simon

4/5

Lots of "buried treasure" to be found on this short record. A couple of new ones to me are "Duncan" and "Paranoia Blues". I prefer the demo versions, which I assume weren't on the original album.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

2/5

I can't believe people truly think this is a better album than "Moondance". I find the vocals here largely annoying, and the songs forgettable. Stop lying, you hipster posers, it's not that good.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

2/5

The Only Ones

2/5

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

2/5

Before listening to this album, I was never a Bowie fan. I'm still not.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

-1 star for "A man needs a maid". That tune pisses off the ladies and can ruin a whole party.

White Ladder

David Gray

5/5

David Gray is one of the greatest musical David’s.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

3/5

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

It’s like cilantro, you either love it or you’re an idiot.

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

2/5

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

1/5

I can't listen to this shit

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

2/5

This album is turning 25 in a few months. Wow. The fact that I didn't like this when it came out (I was 20) says a lot. In retrospect, it seems like something 20-year-old me might have liked, alas, no. The only part of this that has aged well is "In the End", thematically speaking. They were right!

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

It features a couple of classic tracks, but also includes too much filler and nonsense. And also, rap music sucks, and so does Atlanta.

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

3/5

I didn't notice when the album ended, and random related songs on Spotify were playing instead.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

5/5

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears
