Some good tunes in there, not entirely my cup of tea. I think the cult following of this album does a lot of carrying in it’s ratings

Technique by New Order
Jun 26 2025

Good blend of their characteristic sound with acid house, sounds of edm, good background album i can’t say any one song in particular stood out

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jun 27 2025

A good album with some exceptional artistry in there, though a long one. It takes a mind like Harrison’s to throw so much music at the listener and say enjoy

Pretty much every song on this album is great. You need to actually ~listen~ to this album, if you use it as background music it feels like another hour long set on the local golden oldies radio show. But when you take the time to listen to the songs, hear the lyrics, this truly takes off as a culturally significant musical piece

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading

An album that surprised me - when i drew it i groaned and thought it’d be a punish. How wrong i was. I must echo other comments that she’s like an early Tracy Chapman. Great listenability on this one, opens with a banger and the subsequent music is excellent

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jul 03 2025

An interesting sound, just not to my palate

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jul 04 2025

I thought i was being punked, pulling Kraftwerk two days in a row. Alas. Not to my taste

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jul 07 2025

An epic live example of true blues, so good

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jul 08 2025

Good bluesy rock

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jul 09 2025

Fun listen, an unearthed hidden gem

Parklife by Blur
Jul 10 2025

Yeah good not bad not great

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 11 2025

What an album to draw on the day of the big mans death. A masterpiece start to end, you can really hear their blues roots in this, and the sounds that defined a whole new genre growing from that. Rest in peace Ozzy, and thank you for the music

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jul 14 2025

Could be a 5 if the second half were as strong as the first. All in all, one heck of an album

Low by David Bowie
Jul 15 2025

A very Bowie album. Not my favourite of his, and the experimental stuff hit and miss

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jul 16 2025

You can’t beat Cash singing about being a criminal, love at a prison. This album is an all timer

Jul 17 2025

Some good tunes in there, not entirely my cup of tea. I think the cult following of this album does a lot of carrying in it’s ratings

Suede by Suede
Jul 18 2025

Could be Oasis, could be Blur, could be Pulp. Need i go on? Not a bad album, but boy was Britpop a congested genre in the 90s

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jul 21 2025

Some interesting sounds in this, the sort of music you put on, grab a whiskey and enjoy in your man cave when you want to actually pay attention to the music

In Utero by Nirvana
Jul 22 2025

Lots of noise in between some good music. Angst angst angst. I dunno as i get older i seem to lose interest in Nirvana

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

10/10. What an album. You can really hear their blues notes coming through as they lay the foundations for a whole new genre. This is not a 10/10 metal album, it’s a 10/10 generational album that paved the way for so much more. Rest in peace Ozzy 🖤

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jul 25 2025

Not the best of Dre of Snoop. Doesn’t really age well either. Ah well

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jul 28 2025

Some pretty epic producing in there, makes for a good bit of a ‘background music’ when chilling. No particular song stood out. Fell like those lo-fi music youtube video at times

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 29 2025

Not a bad album, nothing truly stood out and i will admit at times i was easily distracted from the album. It’s a shame we can’t half star, but i can’t keep giving out 3. Alas 2 it is

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jul 31 2025

I remember IBIATCL coming out as a child, and loved it. I then remember it being on singstar. This album feels like a group of fellas playing singstar, guitar hero and rock band and just having a fucking good time. It’s not Hall of Fame material, but it’s a bloody fun time

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Aug 01 2025

Up there as one of the greatest debut albums of all time. No crumbs

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Aug 04 2025

Barry B Benson once asked, “you like Jazz?” No, to be honest, not really. This is a good album, perhaps great to those who like jazz. But i can’t hack it. Regardless i’ll give it four

Ten by Pearl Jam
Aug 05 2025

One heck of an album, starts so strong, but does patter out by the end

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Aug 06 2025

Just an Oasis/Blur/Pulp B-Sides album really

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Aug 07 2025

A very good quality live recording for it’s age. But it’s long. Very long

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Aug 08 2025

It’s funny seeing how polarising KoL and this album in particular is… well i enjoyed it. I can understand how his voice can grate at times. All in all a solid album

Marquee Moon by Television
Aug 11 2025

Nothing really jumped at me, one song played and i recognised it and thought “ooh i know this song” yet here I am I can’t even tell you what song it was. It’s not a bad album, but it was really just fine

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Aug 12 2025

A pretty good album comprising tracks you won’t hear on the radio unless it’s on a Sunday evening “deep dives show”. I particularly liked Heaven - very Bowie-esque, reminded me of Heroes. The link took me to the deluxe edition with the reworks and alternate versions and the album lost me there. So this rating is on the 79 track listing.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Aug 13 2025

Really not my jam, felt like the world’s longest piano ride. Generous 2 to acknowledge that it is skilled musicians at it

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Aug 14 2025

There’s some good blues in there, but it’s not the best J L Hooker blues. Ironically the songs i enjoyed the most had no collabs

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Aug 18 2025

Some genuine classics on here, all timers - the rest is as others mention- very debut album filler

Live At Leeds by The Who
Aug 19 2025

Not massive on The Who, not massive on live albums - outside of all-time famous live performances. So yeah

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 20 2025

NC&tBS are very polarising on here - seems to be 5 stars or 1 star, not much else in between. This album is okay. I actually like many of their songs, but this feels like they’ve thrown everything save the kitchen sink in order to be labeled avant garde. Some classic NC&tBS sound in there, but overall it was too much for me. Like Rocky Horror without the genius of Richard O’Brien

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Aug 22 2025

Meh

Moving Pictures by Rush
Aug 25 2025

I’d always only ever heard of rush… i wish it was still heard of…. Instead of hearing this

Who's Next by The Who
Aug 26 2025

i’ve become a bit dissociated with The Who of late as my favourite Radio Station has played them to death. But this album was good, very good. However i’ve had my fill for a wee while

Closer by Joy Division
Aug 27 2025

love a bitta joy division

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Aug 28 2025

Quite fun, not really a genre i vibe with but i appreciate it nonetheless

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 29 2025

damn, right in the feels

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Sep 01 2025

i didn’t realise i’d entered a cosy new york coffee shop…

War by U2
Sep 02 2025

A real classic from U2. The hits on this one are timeless, the stuff in between has it’s moments, but definitely not their best imo. Still love it regardless

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Sep 03 2025

my calculator made better noises during high school calc

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Sep 05 2025

i love a bitta Ella. But i could not listen to this entire thing through. I got the gist after disc one. It’s beautiful music don’t get me wrong. But did i need to hear this before i die?

Melodrama by Lorde
Sep 08 2025

The last of her good albums i fear

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Sep 09 2025

This was a fun one. Cool hearing the various songs that’ve been covered and sampled. This is definitely one i’m glad I’ve learned about through this list

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Sep 10 2025

Was this just one long smiths song?

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Sep 11 2025

pretty boring folk rock. After 11 songs i thought i must be close to done. Nope

Harvest by Neil Young
Sep 15 2025

Pretty dull innit

Abraxas by Santana
Sep 16 2025

Pretty funky music, an interesting blend of genres

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Sep 17 2025

this is a fun album, very on brand, i enjoyed the whole thing

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Sep 18 2025

Feels like The Doors met The Who, and spawned an organ loving punk pub band. I didn’t hate it, but can’t say i’d listen again

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Sep 22 2025

I enjoyed this. I’m familiar with DM, but not this album. It sounds exactly as i imagined it would, but better

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Sep 23 2025

A quality album, with some excellent music. Seems to lack that punch that the Stripes had
