The Number Of The Beast
Iron MaidenHasn't aged all that well, but some great tunes. Might have given it 5 stars except for the terrible first song "Invaders."

Hasn't aged at all well. A mix of silly pop songs and white boys trying to sing the blues.
Really liked this. Didn't know much about the Cure before but found it really interesting and atmospheric.
Decent pop singer songwriter stuff. Not really my thing but some huge hits. Would have given it a neutral 3 stars except that her whiny nasal voice really started to grate by the end!
Electronica for middle aged middle class White people, but some super catchy tunes in the first half of the album. Gets a bit generic ambient towards the end.
The point at which Metallica shift from a metal band to a stadium rock band? Some great songs (that have been overplayed to death) and some filler. Metallica lyrics are always pretty stupid but here it seems like they're trying to be deep but failing massively.
I tried to give it my best shot but I just really didn't enjoy this at all. I'm sure at the time a woman singing about being empowered sexually was unusual and ground-breaking...but the music did nothing for me.
Had never heard of this band... Heard that it was Americana which sounds like something I would like. In the end it was decent but it didn't really grab me.
Hadn't listened to this in ages. Forgot just how good it was. Great proggy rock.
Didn't really get into this at all. Quite background-y. Maybe if I knew more about hip-hop I would be more impressed?
I'd never really listened to Patti Smith before but I liked this a lot. A little punky, a little Doors-y.
Some interesting stuff but a lot of funk-disco jams. Kind of liked it but it didn't grab me.
I enjoyed this. It was some fun kind of pop rock and roll. I don't really understand why it's in the 1001 albums list though? Was tossing up between 3 and 4 stars but gave it 4 because I really liked Watching The Defectives.
Hasn't aged that well but I suspect inspired a lot of 80s hair metal. Some great cheesy tunes.
I really liked this. Poignant and sad in places but really good.
Probably quite influential on all the garage rock bands of the noughties but I didn't find it all that exciting.
Some great songs in amongst a bloated concept album that probably isn't quite as clever as Pink Floyd think it is. Gave it 4 for the classic songs but someone really should have had a word.
Well this was very country. The older I get the more I like folksy/country music. This was a bit twangy yee-haw for me but I didn't hate it. I was surprised it was as recent as 1965.
I'd heard of Adam and the Ants before but never actually heard them. Not what I was expecting but also not very exciting. Kind of standard 80s glam rock/new wave?
