Peter Gabriel 3

Peter Gabriel

5/5

Best Peter Gabriel album

Diamond Life

Sade

5/5

Smooth as butter.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

Very interesting and original album. Not quite my thing (and I think I prefer Doolittle), but would definitely recommend.

Marquee Moon

Television

5/5

Great album, Marque Moon (song) is a jam

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Best live album of all time.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

Maybe not the best, but the Nirvana album I come back to the most. Cobain's screaming through "Where did you sleep last night" summaries it for me.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

5/5

Absolute classic — some of the best vocal harmonies in rock music.

Moby Grape

4/5

Good late 60s rock n roll, along the lines of CSNY and Buffalo Springfield.

Kenza

Khaled

3/5

Pretty eclectic album, some good funky moments. Worst part: cheesy Imagine cover. Overall, a good listen.

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

3/5

Pretty fun and energetic album — this stuff probably shines live.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

One of the best albums by one of the best to ever do it. Both the acoustic and the hard rock parts are fantastic — every time I hear the start of Powderfinger I'm instantly transported, one of the most vivid songs ever written.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

5/5

Great album, classic theatrical and hard rocking Queen.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

5/5

Love this album — has a dirty, sleazy vibe throughout, with sleek late 70s/early 80s production and the unmistakable Marianne Faithfull's raspy delivery.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

I'm not a huge The Who fan, so this doesn't do too much for me, but I can see how this album would be mind-blowing in 1965 — from this time distance, I'd rather listen to the late 60s material from The Rolling Stones (and The Who themselves!). My Generation (the song) is a timeless classic, though.

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

This was almost a 5/5 for me when it came out. I cooled a bit towards it over time — I think their earlier stuff, although less catchy, has more of a staying power.

Gorillaz

4/5

Not my favourite Gorillaz album (that's probably Demon Days/Plastic Beach), but it's a great mix of hip-hop, trip-hop, and experimental pop/rock that Damon was into at the time.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Total banger of an album.

New Forms

Roni Size

4/5

Drum & bass bible — the bass line from Brown Paper Bag lives in my brain rent-free.

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

I have a feeling Pulp will be one of those 5/5 bands once it finally *fully* clicks with me — as of now, this is some really cool stuff, and Common People is an absolute anthem.

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

Powerful last album by David Bowie — his death came as complete shock as the album was bursting with creativity and freshness.

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Absolute classic. Even when Led Zeppelin blatantly steal, their interpretation of blues classics explodes from the speakers. I listened to this album way too much in the past, so I do not play it often anymore, but I still think it's a 5/5.

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

3/5

Was expecting to dislike this, but actually it's quite a pretty album! Will probably give it another spin in the future.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

3/5

This was a solid, interesting album. I will need a few more listens to see where I converge with it, though.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

4/5

This is a fantastic classic rock album that I wasn't very familiar with previously. I think with more time this one might become a 5/5 favourite for me, along the likes of Layla, and early Neil Young.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

Phenomenal album — half great pop singles (Running Up That Hill, Cloudbusting), half progressive experimental pop à la Talk Talk.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

Not my favourite OutKast (that's probably Stankonia), but still, a great stuff.

Shleep

Robert Wyatt

4/5

I quite enjoyed this — quirky and whimsical!

The xx

4/5

Classic indie album — shoegaze for the club.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

I love pretty much everything by A Tribe Called Quest, and this is also a great one. One star less for not being The Low End Theory or Midnight Marauders.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

Fantastic album, ethereal, beautiful music. It's really a 5/5, but on a regular day I usually don't have the patience to go through a Sigur Rós album in full, hence, 4/5 for my personal taste.

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Pearl Jam is possibly my least favourite of the big grunge bands, but it's hard to deny that this album is an absolute classic — the track list reads more like a best of compilation than a debut album.
