Hole

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

3/5

Idiosyncratic, eclectic and experimental rock. Well performed and produced.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

This album is close to perfect. One of the defining sounds of 90s alternative rock.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Roots

Sepultura

5/5

Surely one of the greatest metal albums of all time. Down tuned guitars and South American indigenous music.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

I love a bit of jazz and found this stuff fun and almost vaudeville-ian

Garbage

3/5

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

I'm a big sucker for arty, angular, punky guitar music so this album is definitely for me . Also my first time listening to the whole album. And really enjoyed the live tracks on the version I listened to.

Fever Ray

4/5

Classy, inventive and catchy electronic music with lots of interesting lyrical content. The Nick Cave cover was an added bonus.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

Melodramatic, retro guitar pop. Ok but a little overblown for me to really love it.

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

Spiderland

Slint

5/5

Clinical and intense, ferociously avant-garde guitar music. A true magnum opus.

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

4/5

Too long than it needs to be but plenty to like still, particularly for someone like me who's a tragic for indie guitar rock of a certain era.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

4/5

An old favourite of mine, great easy listening jazz with plenty of complexity.

I Against I

Bad Brains

5/5

Wow. First time listening to these guys and I get why they're so influential. Much more musically talented than a lot of hardcore bands I'm familiar with. Love the funk elements!

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Loved this hip-hop masterpiece. Funky and fun delivered with consummate skill.

Smile

Brian Wilson

2/5

Meh

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

4/5

This album grew on me though is somewhat overshadowed by their other stuff in my mind.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Le Freak is a total disco banger and the rest of the album is enjoyable enough.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

Some sublime moments on this incredible debut. Acoustic rock powered by Chapman's great voice and political lyrics.

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Can see why this album was a precursor to their popular breakthrough. Acoustic-ish guitar pop with a dash of the post-punk.

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

2/5

Too saccharine for my tastes

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

Pornography

The Cure

3/5

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

Bluesy, folky, soulful, well-executed album, the enjoyment of which has been undermined for me by its overexposure.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

3/5

You can sense the melodic pop wanting to eclipse the punk sneering.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

3/5

Enjoyable listen of some pioneering country rock

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

Atmospheric, avant-garde rock music. Whole album is class.

Immigrés

Youssou N'Dour

3/5

Long, repeating and interesting songs. A good intro for me to the artists music but it didn't draw me in immensely.

One World

John Martyn

3/5

Totally new one for me - both artist and album - and really enjoyed it. Woozy, warm, electronic-ish folk that seems way ahead of its time.

Risque

CHIC
