The Youngbloods

2/5

Until today I've never listened to The Youngbloods. I quite enjoyed this, I enjoyed the progressive nature of some of the songs. Standout tracks for me were Darkness, Darkness and Quicksand. Not sure I will revisit it but I enjoyed what I heard.

For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

3/5

This was something that surprised me. I enjoyed the guitar and thought there solos were great.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

2/5

I initially quite like this but felt that it just droned on and on at the end. Just couldn't tell one song from another and it all just sounded very similar.

Want One

Rufus Wainwright

3/5

This was very different but actually quite enjoyable.

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

I am huge fan of a band called Opeth who list Rush among their influences. This was very evident and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this.

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

2/5

Not really much to say about this. Quite a boring album.

Alice Cooper

3/5

System Of A Down

The La's

2/5

Other than the song that everyone knows this was quite a boring album.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

I not ure if this was deliberate bit I got this album the day after the death of Ozzy Osbourne. This album is just amazing. Osbournes unique vocal style, Iommi's heavy riffs, Butler and Ward providing excellent rhythm. Thee guys made metal and Ozzy will be greatly missed by all RIP Ozzy 🤟🏻

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

The Cure are a band that has evaded me almost entirely but I have to say this was excellent. Will be looking at their other albums.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

1/5

Probably the most boring thing ive listened too so far during this. Awful.

Roots

Sepultura

4/5

This is absolute peak Sepultura. This is an album I actually own and haven't listened to for a long time. I really enjoyed re-visiting it and fell in love with Sepultura all over again.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

3/5

This is a very solid live album from what I think is quite a mediocre band.

The Only Ones

3/5

This was ok. Some interesting moments but not a band that I will be looking at again

Meat Puppets II

Meat Puppets

Truth

Jeff Beck

3/5

I enjoyed the bluesy and cool feel but can't see where the "Heavy Metal" elements are that are so often stated on this. Also one star down for Rod Stewart on vocals. Can't stand the guy.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

4/5

Great album. Love the mix of genres. I'm very lucky to have seen them live at Download Festival 2009. I should listen to more of their albums really.

Very

Pet Shop Boys

1/5

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

1/5

I don't know what this was and why it's held in such high regard. Absolutely awful. Nonsense lyrics about mustard and custard. Never going back to this or have any interest in his other work.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

3/5

I actually enjoyed this quite a bit...until I read about this guy. Wow a racist nonce who basically owed his whole career to black music.

Abbey Road

Beatles

3/5

In my early twenties I found the "1" greatest hits album amongst their CD collection. For one summer I loved The Beatles and then I never really went back. I enjoyed this album but it hasn't ignighted that love for them again. Obviously the cover art is iconic now. I will await more Beatles albums to see if that love comes back.

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

3/5

This reminded me of the soundtrack to one of my favorite movies Drive. Really enjoyed some of the tracks but it got a bit samey after a while.

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

3/5

A bit of Elvis never hurt anyone really.

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax

1/5

I'm starting to realise there is quite a lot of bring shite on this list. This is one such album...1 hour and 15 minutes of the same boring beat. Why is this essential?

Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear

1/5

I listened to 3 songs on this and got bored. Not my thing really.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Initially I did not like this. But I enjoyed the last few songs.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

3/5

I enjoyed this musically but found it was all the same towards the end. I also had no idea what a horrible racist Eric Clapton was.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

2/5

Layla is the only reason to listen to this very generic blues album.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Not a note out of place. Perfect.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

I listened to the first part of this album as I ran out of time over a busy weekend, but wow it was great. Will put this on my list of things to listen too again and get on their back catalogue.
