Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Messy and never perfect. The way blues based rock and roll should be. Aside from White Album, best double album in rock history

5/5

messy punk n wave. Their finest

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

4/5

I love this thing. Cocaine anger never came across so good

4/5

Sea breezes and the Bob are boring prog. Production is awful. Still squeezes out a brilliant first half and a great last 2

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Docked because of last track

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

Can’t find a fault here

Like A Prayer

Madonna

3/5

Like a prayer the song is a stunner. And all the other singles work great. But non singles including duet with Prince are mediocre to bad. Glad she tried though

Different Class

Pulp

5/5

Even album tracks are mostly great. Parklife aside. THIS IS BEST IN BRITPOP

The Stone Roses

5/5

Some is too simple (sugar spun sister) but the highs (I wanna be adored, I am the resurrection, this is the one) make this the classic it is

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Like speaking to someone who is high but really is speaking truth. Just hard to get figure out where they are initially

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

It’s…good. Not for me I guess

Scott 4

Scott Walker

4/5

Get behind me sucks. Most of the rest is great. Old man never left

Paris 1919

John Cale

4/5

Not the masterpiece it has the reputation as but still damn solid.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

4/5

Incredibly flawed in the first half (long promised road aside). Second half hits all the depressing highs.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

5/5

Return to this more than Closer. So it has to be their best for me

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Messy and never perfect. The way blues based rock and roll should be. Aside from White Album, best double album in rock history

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

4/5

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

4/5

Sometimes funny, sometimes groovy, always nasty and mean (in a good way). Not going to return to it, but its reputation is valid. Funny enough, collabs with PE folk are weak tracks.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

2/5

Has good elements to it. But it lacks the humor and melody of early 10cc, the popcrsft of Roxy Music, and the muscle of King Crimson. More Yes than those bands, not a positive for me

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Have always liked this album. “Being Boring” and “Jealousy” make a nice bookend of slower songs. Yet it’s the faster paced songs “How Can You…” and “So Hard” that show more that PSB wit. The rest is ‘fine’ to mediocre though, and creates too much ennui. Prefer the album before (“Introspective”) and after (“Very”).

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

2/5

Positive: great sounding album. Creates a vibe like making an album late night on good substances with your buds Negative: at best pleasant, and at worst boring. not an album I would return to. If Crosby’s name wasn’t attached it would be a curio from the period with a small cult

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

2/5

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

4/5

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

3/5

Standard stuff. Couple of a good numbers but no better than most stuff you here in any bar in town

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

4/5

Solid soul album.

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

3/5

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

A fine album with some classics but this is not my fav Neil Young

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

3/5

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

2/5

Ok album a couple really good tracks (Single, Flipside). But other than Tracey Thorn’s soothing vocals, there is much here that would distinguish this from similar late 90s electro pop
