Live Through This
Hole
I don’t feel like time has been kind to Hole. None the less this is a decent enough grunge album but I can’t help but feel that the songs lack melody and interest. I’ve picked this album up a few times in the past and this is probably the last time I listen to it all the way through.

Superunknown
Soundgarden
More grunge! Another half decent rock band with a few too many cliches from the genre. Not a favourite but not terrible by any means.

Elephant
The White Stripes
Haven’t listened to this album in a while. This was the last through and through great Stripes album and it’s a real banger. A bit of a departure towards a bigger sound whilst staying true to their roots, something which their later albums didn’t achieve quite so well.

Parallel Lines
Blondie
Bit of a surprise this one. Never listened to the full album before and all I can say is I understand the hype and the love for this band. But it’s not really cuppa tea but good for party music.

Jazz Samba
Stan Getz
First time listening to this particular album. Samba De Uma was the standout. The rest a little too smooth and sweet for my tastes. Obviously ridiculous musicianship

L.A. Woman
The Doors
One of the most overrated bands of all time. Can’t help but feel that the only reason they’re so celebrated is due to Morrison’s death.

Blur
Blur
A bit of an old childhood favourite this one. I remember thinking how different it felt when it came out, especially compared to their previous output. In hindsight, there’s a fair bit of filler in between the good tracks but this still holds fairly well

La Revancha Del Tango
Gotan Project
I mean, don’t get me wrong it’s pretty nice instrumental hip hop mainly. But top 1001 albums? Nah. Gimme some Apollo Brown if you wanna go down that road.

The 80s wasn’t kind to guitar music

Sea Change
Beck
Another album I haven’t listened to for 20 odd years. Pretty nice but a bit uneventful. I did save Lost Cause and Paper Tiger to my playlists.
