Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

2/5

Lyrically suspect, drugs would have helped. Sounded sufficiently different to get to 2 stars.

You Are The Quarry

Not going to waste my time listening.

The Cars

3/5

Some familiar bangers, but otherwise…

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

Better than the previous album. Sounded more varied and the bonus of the more familiar tracks

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

2/5

Thankfully redeemed by Time Bandits. Just saying.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

More interesting than the other albums so far....gospel choirs, mandolins everything and only one vaguely familiar song. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

Thought I'd enjoy it more, American folk inspired, woody and Leadbelly, but sadly not so much.

Violator

Depeche Mode

2/5

I remember jolly depeche mode. Not sure what happened, height of the start of EDM and you get EM no D unless I’m missing something.

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

happy to listen again.

Skylarking

XTC

2/5

Didn’t really engage me, no hooks, no singles, I think I went to sleep.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Not overwhelming. I can see the attraction, would need to listen again.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

The Residents

2/5

To be honest, if you got to the end of the album, you deserve 5 ⭐️. I came close and award myself ⭐️⭐️. Which is what the album gets.

Shadowland

k.d. lang

3/5

I thought the country bits were ok, the other bits not so much. It all had a very 50s feel.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

3/5

I listened to it 3 times, not my genre, but not offensive.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

3/5

Probably listened to this 2 or 3 times as I inadvertently put it on repeat. Not against it, seamlessly followed one after the other. Went to sleep…

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

Um Spellbound er that’s it…

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Spotify seems incapable of playing an entire album. I must heard Whole Lotta...multiple times, the rest of the album is a mystery. What I did hear reminded me of the Stones album from earlier. I can understand why drugs played a key part in this era's culture.

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

3/5

Mostly interesting.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

That's more like it....

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

3/5

listened went to sleep.

Achtung Baby

4/5

In spite of Bono, still a fan. Not their best, but not far off. Forgot how good it was tbh.

A Wizard, A True Star

Todd Rundgren

1/5

One track was enough, the rest of the album didn’t make it any better

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Will listen again.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

3/5

If you asked I would say this is what I thought a country album sounds like. Which isn’t true, but it sounds like it should be. This is one of things I like about country- its variety. That’s all I have.

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

2/5

Noise...

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

Thought I’d enjoy it more, still several bangers. Have it in cd somewhere, so must have made an impression in the past.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Big voice, good tunes, more like this…

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

2/5

Lyrically suspect, drugs would have helped. Sounded sufficiently different to get to 2 stars.

The Rolling Stones

3/5

They tsole a lot and didn't credit it I would imagine. But enjoyed it.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

3/5

Yep, listened, probably don’t have time to go back. Liked what I heard…

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

4/5

Close harmonies, who needs Graceland?

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

4/5

Sounds out of its time which is probably what they wanted

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

I thought it was ok, very Dylan. I have other things to listen to now…

Meat Puppets II

Meat Puppets

2/5

Not moved one way or the other tbh. Probably genre defining but didn’t care much.

Arular

M.I.A.

1/5

Truly excreable? Apologies for spelling. I imagine some coked up record executive thought this was a good idea.

Pyromania

Def Leppard

3/5

Unmoved.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Still a classic, strange their best was so long ago.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Decent. Many hits which are still hits.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

3/5

Against all odds, not against it in the end. Would probably give it another listen if time allowed.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

3/5

I listened to it, I wasn’t against it, I remember little of it now.

No dub, sold a pup…would need to pay me to listen to this again.

3/5

Not Takk, but ok

Elephant

The White Stripes

3/5

Saved by...not against it

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

4/5

Contemporary of kraftwerk, mostly ignored probably because he was French. Before EDM was a thing. Liked then, like it now.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

some standards there...fun.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

Not my genre, but listened to it while flossing. Enjoyed the flossing more.
