Gold

Ryan Adams

1/5

An album as s**t is the man who wrote it is a person.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Honestly one of his weaker albums, iconic though it is.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

3/5

A solid late 60s album, but ultimately not superior to many albums coming out in around that time. Final song is overindulgent at 17 mins, and the 5 minute drum solo was almost unbearable (although the song in it's original form is not bad) . I imagine this album is life-changing when under the influence, but only average in an everyday context.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

A good album which has clearly influenced a lot of other artists ( I've noticed that Coldplay lifted large parts of the album Viva la Vida from this album). Other than Nico's slightly distracting accent, an excellent record from start to finish.

Metallica

4/5

With the two big singles from this album being the main highlights in Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters, generally this is a high energy album and a good entry point for those listening to Metallica for the first time. Just a shame about Lars really...

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

5/5

Strong album both musically and lyrically the whole way through. The number of dick jokes throughout the entire album did make me wonder if Blink182 were involved in the making of it though...

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

5/5

A classic. Not much more to say really.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

A good album, but overall not an outstanding album of covers. Hurt is the standout and most famous track, but overall perhaps a little uninspired.

The Grand Tour

George Jones

2/5

Whilst I can understand the appeal of such an album to country fans, it ruined my day.

Van Halen

2/5

First album on this list that has made me so apathetic that I couldn't even finish the thing unfortunately.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

2/5

It wasn't bad, but it all sounded like direction less noise

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

One of the great modern rap albums. Ironically Poetic Justice (featuring now enemy Drake) is the weakest track.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

5/5

The soundtrack to many a good Western. Can't get much better in this genre

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

2/5

I think Jeru the Damaja was on the committee because that's the only way this album makes this list.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

Adele

3/5

So depressing, nearly caused me to drive my car off a bridge. On a technical level a good album though.

Their first album entirely made up of their own music and literally every single one is a banger. Arguably the strongest album from the moptop days!
