Can't hate on Franky boy. A joy to have on in the background but that's about it, certainly blends together after awhile

3/5

Started off a lot stronger than it finished. Maybe 6/10

Talking Heads

2/5

Fun House

The Stooges

2/5

Adele

2/5

No doubt Adele has a powerful voice - I just can not for the life of my listen to it after hearing some of these songs a million times. Ads, supermarkets, radio etc. have ruined it for me

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

2/5

Certainly something I would normally never gravitate towards. Didn't hate it. Don't know if I would listen again though 4/10

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

2/5

What is that noise?? 3/10

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

Think I might've enjoyed this the most out of Talking Heads 6.5/10

Foo Fighters

2/5

Dookie

Green Day

1/5

Do you have the time to listen to me whine? Probably not. 2/10

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Surely has some of Bob's best work - Natural Mystic, Jamming, Waiting in Vain, Exodus and the other obvious picks that absolutely everyone knows. Still holds its own. Classic

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

1/5

Tried and gave up

Real Life

Magazine

1/5

More brit rock, gave up

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

2/5

Good listen but probably won't return. There are some very low lows in this album.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

1/5

Did not interest me at all

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

1/5

To put it in English terms - absolutely dreadful

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

I mean how could you not like this. Pinnacle of pop music. Also highlights how important a short concise album is with no filler, banger after banger

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

1/5

Couldn't do it to myself. I tried listening to this awhile back... maybe one day I will build the courage to grit through this. I liken it to a blender, tolerable for a few seconds but you don't want to leave it on for longer than that

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

2/5

Didn't hate it, probably wouldn't relistened

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

Wasn't terrible. Not my type of music whatsoever so probably wouldn't listen again. Relies on quite a few shock lyrics that are a bit cringey and that's coming from a rap fan...

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

Gah I've tried a few times to like the album and just can't do it. Obviously some classics on this. Just can never get over the runtime and don't gel with the skits inbetween

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

4/5

Easy listening, surprisingly good. Not much of a Beatles fan 6.5-7/10, pleasantly surprised but nothing groundbreaking for me

Fleet Foxes

3/5

Have to agree with some of the other reviews, feels a bit bland and preachy at times. I don't hate it but I don't love it - a few good songs.

Close To The Edge

Yes

4/5

Yep pretty bloody good. Keen to give this one a few more listens

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Hell yeah this was great. Very enjoyable listen although I can't help but think I'm listening to Black Sabbath at times

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

Some absolute crackers on here. I feel like they are holding the album up, a few forgettable tracks inbetween 6.5-7/10

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

1/5

More english rock that doesn't inspire me at all

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Certainly not the best rolling stones album... Jeez actually sort of bad at times. A couple good songs to hold is up above copping a 1

I Against I

Bad Brains

2/5

Sounds like really generic 80's rock to me that I don't vibe with. It wasn't a horrible listen and at times caught my attention but I don't think I would return any time soon 4/10

Damaged

Black Flag

2/5

Not my style but a couple of hits

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

Need to revisit again. Easy listening 6/10

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

3/5

6.5/10

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

6.5-7/10 - this one took awhile for me to come around on. Extremely varied but I can find some songs tedious at times. The amount of English Rock and Rambling on this list certainly doesn't help in this case

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Might actually be the first Bowie album I enjoyed. Need to give it a couple more listens to digest I think potentially 7/10

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

4/5

Finally something other than rock! Enjoyable 7/10

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

1/5

Not my type of music eh...

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

1/5

Honestly just sounds like some dude jamming in his bedroom and not anything fully fleshed out

Dire Straits

5/5

Certified banger. Good variety and some of the lesser known songs are great. Enjoyable album

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

Not terrible but not inspiring

Berlin

Lou Reed

3/5

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Can't hate on Franky boy. A joy to have on in the background but that's about it, certainly blends together after awhile

The Blueprint

JAY Z

3/5

Not a huge Jay Z fan. As a bit of a hip-hop head I can't help but get excited to hear some on this list. A couple crackers - the opener has a fantastic beat, Izzo, heart of the city and renegade. Wouldn't call it a classic album at all but maybe a couple classic songs that embody the 2000s sound - The Nas callouts are embarrassing too

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

2/5

Ehhhhhh maybe would prefer their second album

Paris 1919

John Cale

2/5

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Ain't no superstition

Eternally Yours
