4/5

I liked it.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

They were very good. It's a shame they banged each other and ruined the duo. The downside was my mum kept trying to sing along

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Fun wee bangers

Common

3/5

New Wave

The Auteurs

This is boring.

Songs From The Big Chair

More like Cheers for fears - songs for a big cheer and because whoop whoop this is class

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

3/5

Fuck this is long.

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

5/5

It's a cold October day in 1984, you're driving down to the South of England. You rummage through the unfamiliar car and find a tape from 4 years before and you put it in. You finally see the sign for Brighton as the end of Happy Death Men plays. A fitting song.

Debut

Björk

3/5

Not my favourite album by her but IT'S ALRIGHT

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

Kick it!

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

A really strong first half but it really dips near the end. just like the bands trajectory.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

A full extra star for Helplessly Hoping

Faust IV

Faust

4/5

Very enjoyable, weird I never knew of them considering they're like proto-post rock. I'll enjoy listening to it again

Achtung Baby

2/5

Absolutely not.

In It For The Money

Supergrass

4/5

That was enjoyable.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Alot more mellow than I expected it to be. I never gave Black Sabbath a proper listen really

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

The "North American scum-someone Great-all my friends" run of songs is unbelievable

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

3/5

I think Guns N Roses mostly suck but they do have some bangers

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

Not bad but I feel like this same album has been done better. Some nice guitar work.

Buena Vista Social Club

2/5

Nice background music

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

3/5

A bit of the same but fun and short

3/5

This was FUN

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

3/5

Some pipes on your wan. Not my favourite songs by her but definitely an interesting album

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

4/5

I actually thought this was going to be one of those albums where it's like "yeh OK they're one of the OGs and they made new paths but now it's a bit dated and boring" but I really enjoyed it entirely. I listened to it a few years ago on the actual autobahn and I was way too stressed out to enjoy it. I hate not having half stars because 4 is a wee bit too high.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

2/5

I liked this when I was young and there's still some good songs and it was important 25 years ago but I'm going to rate it through modern lens

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

4/5

I love pavement.

Not a bad listen but definitely not my favourite clash songs

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Good background music, each song was different enough!

Dire Straits

3/5

Great guitar

Odelay

Beck

4/5

It's been years since I listened to this album and it was great revisiting it. I really enjoyed it.

American Pie is a banger and the rest of the album is quite nice. A decent listen

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

This was class

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

3/5

I started calling everyone toots and it made me want to go on the sesh in a weird way

Lauryn Hill

3/5

It was quite good

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

3/5

I used to really like this but listening back I wasn't that fussed.

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

Could not be arsed with them. Not terrible, it's just that everything they ever done was done better by someone better.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

2/5

I got very bored of this. Took like 3 days to finish. Sorry pal

The Undertones

4/5

Forgot how many bangers they have. Still very toothless for a Derry band nevermind 70s Troubles punk, which is impressive in its own right.

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

4/5

I thought this was class. You can clearly tell where Nirvana got their influences. Some ripping guitar.

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

I loved this album but I feel like they're slowly becoming cringe, but it was entertaining me and it was long. I think it'd be a 3.5 really. 3 is harsh

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

3/5

I appreciate this and the bizarre lyrics are great but sometimes the chamber pop aspect is a bit too much for me.

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

3/5

This was better than I expected, some bops

Green

R.E.M.

4/5

Not my favourite REM album but still very good and I would listen to it again

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

I think Prince is overrated. Not bad by any stretch but still overrated.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

4/5

How haven't I heard this before? I enjoyed it

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

2/5

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

4/5

This loses a full star because Butler was a creep.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

3/5

Unreal guitar but Mustaves voice annoys me. Peace Sells rips though.

I expected not to like this but I recognised pretty much all of the songs and enjoyed it more than I should.

3/5

3 seems low but 4 is too high. But I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Good lad for having a song called PLO style

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

4/5

Pj Harvey is the queen and I'll forgive her for supporting fox hunting

Maxinquaye

Tricky

3/5

I thought I'd like this more due to the trip hopness off it but I wasn't arsed to listen to it

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Class. I love the absolute jarring change of tone from the title song to the 2nd song.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

I thought this would suck but I was enticed by the use of the flute.

Magazine

3/5

I enjoyed this. Some bangers. It's the baseline of what I enjoy but doesn't fully scratch an itch. 3.5* in reality

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

3/5

I'm not really into Elvis Constello but I also can't help but enjoy the songs at the same time?

Meat Puppets

4/5

Proto-nirvana. Class though.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

I thought this was going to be heavy metal and not beach boys. Alright though

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

4/5

I remember not liking this that much after elephant as a teen but that's obvious now because it's definitely a much more mature album and I was a wee soft child. I really liked it and while it doesn't have the same level of bangers it just showcases how strong they were.

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

Perfectly fine. But I think it's overrated

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

3/5

I know this is supposed to be one of their best but it only has a few songs that are actually worth it. It's not a bad listen overall.

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

Radiohead always gets 5 stars. It's not their best album but still has some of their best songs. Thoms voice is incredible in this. Bones is underrated.

Smile

Brian Wilson

3/5

Very samey but not bad

New Order

4/5

I love new order but this album isn't my favourite. 3.5 Edit: I got technique and this mixed up. This is unreal.

Suicide

4/5

Technique

New Order

4/5

I'm such a sucker for 80s synths and this is no exception.

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

5 stars no notes. I also listened to the B sides like man O war and pearly because I want more. I also listened to the unfinished version of Nude because that's also amazing. OK I had loads of notes

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

Banger after banger

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

I'm ashamed that I haven't really listened to a lot of them but I they're definitely good.
