3/5
Quite fitting that the first one would be from a fellow West London raised British Asian and it did connect me with the culture. Not much of a hip hop guy but I did enjoy it while it was on and was nice and upbeat.

3/5
Quite fitting that the first one would be from a fellow West London raised British Asian and it did connect me with the culture. Not much of a hip hop guy but I did enjoy it while it was on and was nice and upbeat.
Depeche Mode
3/5
Thought this one was decent but I wasn't super into it. There were parts where I was boppin about (mainly to the synth lines) but also parts that didn't really hold my attention.
Steely Dan
3/5
It’s kinda giving 70s sitcom theme tune. The opening track is one of those songs that you know from somewhere but don’t realise it. I thought this album was nice and a pleasant half an hour but it didn’t make much of a lasting impact on me.
Bob Dylan
2/5
Would’ve probably been more positive towards it if it was shorter but it’s 73 minutes of acoustic-ish music that I’m not really feeling. Harmonica is always fun though.
Talking Heads
3/5
Lots going on in this one. Quite liked it and was interested in what was gonna happen most of the time. Bass player poppin off (pun intended).
N.W.A.
4/5
Really enjoyed the tracks towards the beginning of the album but I started to lose interest later on. Fuck the police.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
3/5
Thought this one was nice even though I am not much of a (non-heavy) artsy prog man. Lots of pretty instrumental parts so might be nice for bed time.
Black Sabbath
5/5
RIP to the GOAT, you made my life infinitely better in ways you will never know
Frank Zappa
4/5
Pretty much just 40 minutes of Zappa going crazy on the guitar and it slaps
Jorge Ben Jor
2/5
Not that keen on this one. Wasn’t offensive to my ears but didn’t find it engaging besides some funky bass lines.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
2/5
Didn’t really feel this one apart from some of the instrumental parts. Never really liked Piece of My Heart much to be honest.
ABBA
4/5
I think this is the first time I’ve ever listened to a full ABBA album despite liking the hits for years. Love the bangers on this, less keen on the album tracks.
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
2/5
Pretty cool if you want to feel like you have been transported back in time for half an hour but I didn’t really connect on a musical level.
Harry Nilsson
2/5
Only really liked Without You, which I never knew wasn't a Mariah Carey original, and thought the rest was fine (except Coconut). Not much into singing-focused music anyway.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Always liked this one less than the other early Zeppelin records due to the lack of heavy riffs and more acoustic parts but I enjoyed it more than I remembered.
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
I quite liked this one and the atmosphere that it set. I feel like The Killing Moon is a very familiar song, but I can't figure out why.
Blood, Sweat & Tears
3/5
Not my normal kind of thing, but I did like it. Saxophone and funky bass are always good things.
Joan Baez
1/5
Sorry diva but I wasn’t feeling this one at all
Dire Straits
3/5
Some parts that I enjoyed but also long parts that I found a bit boring to be honest. We got saxophone and slap bass though so that's something.
Caetano Veloso
2/5
I liked some of the instrumental work on this one but overall wasn’t very keen
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
2/5
Got a bit bored to be honest, don’t think this one is for me
Billy Joel
4/5
Had a good time with this one. Lots of songs I already knew despite not knowing where they came from before.
Lambchop
2/5
It’s quite nice and chill but didn’t make much of an impact on me
Beastie Boys
4/5
This was a fun one, didn’t enjoy the whole album but there was a lot of cool stuff going on. Sabotage will always be a banger.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
Enjoyed this one but it is a bit samey
Judas Priest
4/5
HEAVY METAL. Painkiller and Screaming for Vengeance are their two masterpieces in my opinion but I do like this one too.
David Ackles
1/5
There was a musical theatre production at my school every year and we used to have to watch bits of it in assembly. This album made me feel like that (derogatory).
The Doors
3/5
Overall pretty neutral on this one. There were some parts that I liked but I found some songs to be a bit boring.
Beck
2/5
Was fine but I wasn’t very into it
Ice Cube
3/5
A lot of the lyrics were very cringe, but I thought this one was fine otherwise
John Coltrane
2/5
I'm not a jazz man but good saxophone playing John
Talk Talk
3/5
This was a pleasant listen, although I don't think it really grabbed me enough for a repeat listen in future. I really like the album cover.
Tears For Fears
4/5
Got the obvious bangers in here but I thought the other tracks were vibes too
The Mars Volta
4/5
Gets a bit too indulgent and overlong at times for me, but it's pretty sick overall
Pere Ubu
1/5
Wouldn’t necessarily say I liked this one but I was intrigued by it
Throwing Muses
3/5
Decent listen, although not fully my kind of thing
Dusty Springfield
2/5
Not really my kind of thing but it was cool to be transported back in time for a bit I guess
Bebel Gilberto
2/5
Kinda nice as background music but that’s about it really for me
The Rolling Stones
3/5
I never really got into the Stones, except for a few songs, and none of those are on this album...
Metallica
5/5
Ride the Lightning is my favourite album of all time and this is a close second
Marilyn Manson
3/5
To be honest I didn’t hate this one as much as I was expecting to but it is a bit lyrically cringe at times. Dude is a wrongun too but that’s another story.
Antony and the Johnsons
1/5
This kind of music (singing focused with minimal plain sounding instruments) is probably my least favourite of all
Bee Gees
2/5
Ok, but where are all the boogie tunes? These ones are slow and boring.
Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
Fairly neutral on this one but I did find it pleasant while it was on
Bee Gees
2/5
Second dull pre-disco Bee Gees album in three days, generator please stop this my guy
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Starts off with a run of worldies but loses steam a bit for me after that, still good though
De La Soul
3/5
Fairly enjoyable listen, although it doesn't quite hit fully for me
David Bowie
2/5
RIP but I didn't like this very much
Arrested Development
3/5
An enjoyable listen, although too much preaching for me

2/5
Kinda fine to have on as background music, but I don't think I would ever put this on as it didn't do much for me
Yes
3/5
Decent listen but not really something I would choose
Public Enemy
4/5
Bit overlong but I quite liked the vibe of this one
Nightmares On Wax
1/5
I could name 1001 more albums not on this list that are more essential than this. Just background music really I don't know what else to say.
Michael Jackson
4/5
Not as keen on his extracurricular activities but I do enjoy the odd bit of MJ from time to time. Lots of bangers on this one.
The Mothers Of Invention
1/5
Sounds a bit like switching between stations on a broken radio, and all of the stations are playing the duck song
Willie Nelson
2/5
Not really my thing but nice songs Willie
Jethro Tull
3/5
Don’t really have much to say but that was decent I guess
Wild Beasts
1/5
I hate this, get it out of my ears
(For the record I would have given it 2 with no vocals)
Bill Callahan
2/5
Actually ended up liking this one more than I thought I would, but still not really my thing
The Police
3/5
Message in a Bottle bangs, but I found the rest just kinda fine
Milton Nascimento
2/5
Not really up my alley but I don’t hate

2/5
Unseasoned music by a lemon and herb band
Eagles
3/5
Not much to say really just kinda average
Metallica
5/5
Hard
Thelonious Monk
2/5

Ladysmith Black Mambazo
1/5
Can’t be dealing with acapella but at least it wasn’t by annoying drama students doing pop songs this time
The Adverts
3/5
Was decent but I don’t have much to say
Pink Floyd
4/5
They really did bury my favourite guitar solo of all time in an 80 minute concept record

2/5
Was fine but I reckon they can do better
The Darkness
3/5
Didn’t enjoy the whole thing but it’s good fun at times
Kanye West
4/5
Thought this was really good to be fair (as Nazi music goes)
Bad Company
3/5
Sometimes dudes just want to rock out

1/5
I didn’t hate this but it’s not my thing at all
The Specials
3/5
Good fun although not something I would listen to normally

Didn’t like it very much

Jimi Hendrix

Thought this one was enjoyable but not one of my favourite hip hop records I have heard on this list

3/5
Was enjoyable but just kinda average
Culture Club
2/5
Not gonna lie I thought this was mid and Karma Chameleon isn't actually as much of a banger as people claim it is
Paul Simon
3/5
Every opportunity to hear fretless bass is a gift, so for that reason I legally can’t rate this any lower
Donald Fagen
2/5
Fine to have on in the background but this one didn’t grab me in any way
The Young Rascals
2/5
The Beatles at home
Deep Purple
3/5

Not really all that fussed by this
