1/5

A bit meh. Sledgehammer was the only "good" song.

Fragile

1/5

Really not for me.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette · 1 likes

5/5

The soundtrack to my teenage years. The angst I felt but not really understanding the words being said. Just enjoyed the pain expressed. Today, the songs hit differently. A joy to really listen to AM sing. A classic for a 90s girl.

...And Justice For All

3/5

I've never really listened to Metallica. Pleasantly surprised that I didn't hate this album. Some interesting songs. I think Blackened was my favourite.

Not my favourite of The Beatles albums but I do like the kookiness of The White Album. Good listen.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

Not my genre of music but I can appreciate the music and in particular the percussion used. Not an album I'd listen to again.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

I was expecting not to like this at all but pleasantly surprised. Nice, easy listen.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

2/5

I find this one hard to review...it wasn't what I was expecting at all. 4 songs that all blended into one. VERY experimental for the time. Early synth use. Not for me but can appreciate it's ahead of its time.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Always liked the well known songs of Tears for Fears but never listened to the whole album. Really enjoyed it and will give it more listens.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

I'm surprised at how many Isley Brothers songs I knew considering I didn't think I knew any. Great listening for a sunny day.

Controversial opinion but I don't like Michael Jackson. There are some very good songs on here but I don't like a few. I can see why people love it but Im just not a fan. Will give it another listen.

Sadly not for me. Wasn't even the album with that semi famous song on it. A little bit meh for me.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

5/5

I love this album.

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

1/5

Really didn't think much of this album. It's Hippop and not very good. Boring, basic and his voice is grating.

Van Halen

2/5

I thought I was going to like this album as I love a bit of 80s rock but, maybe I just wasn't in the right mood as I just didn't gel with it. Sorry! Hate to say it, the only bit I like (I didn't make it all the way through) was the opening riff of Ain't Talkin' Bout Love and that's because it's samples on Apollo 440's Ain't Talkin' Bout Dub, which is a cracking piece of music.

The Blueprint

JAY Z

3/5

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

3/5

Surprised that I didn't have this. Some of the music is really good. Some of the vocals, not my but can't fault it really.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

Takes me to the early 2000s, being in a dirty indie club with sticky floors and being drunk on Jack Daniel's. Great memories. Good album.

Green

R.E.M.

2/5

I know people love REM but I just didn't like this album much. Maybe I just like the well-known songs.

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

3/5

Reminded me of The Doors. Don't know if this came first or the doors did. I quite liked it. Never heard of the group before.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

5/5

Cracking album. Makes me wish I could still go to raves.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

2/5

I wanted to enjoy this album. I wanted to like James Brown. But I hate to say it, I really didn't. I hate live albums, especially when you can hear the screaming in the background. Sorry, but not for me. Not an album I enjoyed.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Stunning. Incredible album.

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Great album. Love a bit of Depeche Mode!

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Dark and moody. Just perfectly Leonard Cohen.

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

A mixed bag for me. Some songs I liked, some I didn't. Definitely one I need to give another listen.

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

2/5

Interesting listen. As an example of post punk, I'm sure it's great. But I can't say I enjoyed it.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

1/5

Meh. Sorry, but stings voice grates on me and I hate the reggae vibe

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

What an incredible album that really showcased the talent of Kurt Cobain. Loved it.

Penthouse And Pavement

Heaven 17

1/5

Sadly I don't feel this is an album I needed to hear before i die.

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

3/5

The storytelling is incredible, took me to a dingy bar where I was drinking whiskey on the rocks. Sadly I listened while on a drizzly morning dog walk. Very good album.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

3/5

Not bad. Not great. Some interesting songs.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

I've never really listened to Metallica. Pleasantly surprised that I didn't hate this album. Some interesting songs. I think Blackened was my favourite.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

2/5

I do question why this has made the list. Nothing remarkable. Nothing that stood out. Janelle has a lovely voice but it did feel a little generic.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

1/5

Liquid Swords

GZA
