The Doors

3/5

Very typical 60's sounding psychedelic rock that defined that genre in that era

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

3/5

Not always sure what to make of this album in terms of the tone. Each track brings something different and unique to the album. Goes from easy listening soul to James Bond style music to something out of the Lemon Jelly playbook. I had hoped for a standout tune as per Michael’s “Cold Little Heart” but alas this is pleasant enough to have in the background but doesn’t warrant a detailed re-listen

Fragile

Yes

3/5

A range of genres. Rock one minute, medieval the next, instrumental, funk. Always love the unique sound of Jon Anderson's vocals. Feels experimental given Rick Wakeman's influence on synthesisers and the new sounds they were producing. But there are better Yes albums than this one

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

Starts off with one of the best known White Stripes songs. Some great tracks in the unique White Stripes style, but none quite match that opening track. Get Behind Me Satan is probably a more balanced album.

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

This album feels like witnessing the birth of the mega band that Queen became. Killer Queen is the obvious stand out track but this has so many less known moments that signal their signature style

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

1/5

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

3/5

Very mixed styles. Some I really enjoy and some I can’t get through and skip! A couple of bangers though

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

Really enjoyable album!

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

Another album with mixed styles. Scores highly in part thanks to the all time classic, Every Breath You Take.

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

1/5

Yeah this is pretty awful sounding. It’s like the band members all made the most bizarre tracks independently and then they mixed them altogether later! Appreciate the experimentation just not the result!

NEU! 75

Neu!

3/5

An album of two half’s. First half is relaxed, almost reminiscent of Vangelis. Fleetwood Mac or Thomas Newman. The second half is when the singing starts and detracts from the quality in the first. A nice sounding album when instrumental!

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Very pleasant listening!

Copper Blue

Sugar

2/5

Generic 90s rock!

Kenza

Khaled

3/5

Nice to have some variation from all the rock music. I mean Imagine was a surprise but in general this was reasonable

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

5/5

Fantastic album! So many classics on there!

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

4/5

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

One stand out track 😂

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

5/5

Lovely bit of jazz!

Common

4/5

I generally don’t enjoy hip hop but this album by Common has some great tracks to have pleasantly playing in the background

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

4/5

Such a unique sounding voice. Enjoyed listening to this if you don't listen too closely to the lyrics and ignore the personality of the man himself!

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Distinct Belle & Sebastian sounds but feels a little homogeneous

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

Some great funk with tracks that aren’t afraid to be long listens

Superunknown

Soundgarden

2/5

Not awful but got bored of this quickly

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

2/5

Feels almost too archetypal 50s country

Boston

4/5

Great opening track and nice background rock thereafter

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Another album where one song is just just so much more well known generally than others

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

4/5

Great album. Lots of fun!

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

Obviously Walk This Wsy is a classic. Everything else is generic and bland so splitting this down the middle

OK Computer

Radiohead

2/5

Not really my cup of tea. Can hear moments of good music but overall in the minority by saying this was not for me

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Absolute classics

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

3/5

You can see where the White Stripes took their influences from

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

Enjoyed the random spoken word

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

3/5

Lots of fun whimsy that becomes too repetitive. Brimful of Asha is obviously a classic though

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

3/5

Like all others have said, this is so similar in style to the Beatles it’s almost mistakable for them. Just doesn’t reach the same heights as their doppelgängers

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

4/5

Reminds of Billy Bailey’s impression of Billy Bragg

Pornography

The Cure

2/5

Couldn’t get into this. Just seems slightly discordant

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Feels quite like a jam session in the studio than an album. Love All Along The Watchtower
