New York Dolls

4/5

A delightfully energetic rock album, with some very memorable songs. 4/5

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

Some very iconic songs in this upbeat R&B album

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

An interesting, relaxed rap album. The piece entitled Jazz was particularly memorable

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

3/5

An interesting rock album, though not one that is exactly to my taste. This is Love stood as particularly memorable. Most of the other pieces were alright, though I think some of the lyrics were questionable

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

5/5

A delightful album, with mesmerising vocals and witty lyrics

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

4/5

A fun alternate rock album from the UK. A bit too slow for 5/5, but still a great album

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

5/5

A really weird and interesting alternate rock album, reminiscent of some of MCR’s early albums. It is rare to stumble on something quite like this

Pretenders

5/5

A really fun and original rock album

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

An undoubtedly talented rock musician, but this album was a bit slow for me

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

4/5

A really interesting and unique rock album, with some very memorable (if bizarre) pieces

Boston

5/5

Fantastic and iconic album

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

5/5

A classic rock album. Time and mimicry may have stripped it of some of its originality, but it was a very fun listen nonetheless. Joplin does an amazing job on the vocals

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast

Badly Drawn Boy

5/5

This was a very unique-sounding album

The Visitors

ABBA

3/5

The iconic ABBA sound, but not the iconic ABBA songs

Abbey Road

Beatles

3/5

I have never been a fan of the Beatles, and honestly this album confirms my initial impressions. Apparently, according to Rob Ager at least, this work inspired Stanley Kubrick when he directed the Shining. I hope for the Maestro’s sake that the bulk of the inspiration came from Throne of Blood (as his notes suggest) and not from this album. « Here comes the Sun » stood out, only because I distinctly remember waking up to this song after falling asleep watching a crackpot theory about The Shining Overall, the style and music is too languid

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

5/5

A delightful and longing collection

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

4/5

At, first, I didn’t think the style would appeal to me, but Time Will Break the World changed that

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

Great album, though not Joel’s best
