Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

5/5

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

Brilliant

Green

R.E.M.

4/5

Love the first track and the unique use of mandolin. It’s unusual to hear that kind of gentle sound in rock context.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

5/5

Incredible arrangements, so many changes and colours and moods

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

Cool blend of synths and guitars. Sounds very 80s, but I can tell how this album influenced a few artists who came after.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

Funk, blues, jazz and everything in between.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Never knew I needed Irish folk punk, but this was fun. Not something I’d listen to on daily basis, but it was a curious new experience.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

5/5

First time hearing this album, but easily one of my favourite new era rock albums along with Wolfmother and The Hives. Love it.

Miriam Makeba

4/5

Interesting and beautifully recorded

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

3/5

Great musicianship, but not for me

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Very cool. First time hearing it. Can understand why Radiohead is so popular.

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

3/5

Beautifully mixed album. Light low end, but so crisp and clear. Not my usual listening, but an interesting experience non the less.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

5/5

What a classic

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

Love the guitar sound. Somehow the album sounds more dated than nirvana even though I can feel the era in the sound

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

3/5

Love this kind of music, although part of me can’t help but feel like it sounds like cultural appropriation, especially considering the era in which it was recorded

Manassas

Stephen Stills

4/5

Cool

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

5/5

Cool

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

4/5

Weird and unique

Medúlla

Björk

3/5

I love Bjork, I think she’s so unique and creative and smart, but this album, I wouldn’t call it pleasurable listening for me. It’s more like curiosity listening. I’m interested in the ideas, but I need to be in the right sort of mood to listen through the whole thing.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Very cool, layered 80s sound. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

5/5

I think I just love the sound of this era, the brass and strings arrangement, the warm vocals and soft drums and the dramatic and melancholic chord changes. Loved this album.

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

3/5

It was cool. Didn’t sound like something made in 2010.

Music

Madonna

1/5

Terrible. Couldn’t take it seriously with the ridiculous lyrics…

Gorillaz

3/5

Still not a fan. I was always a fan of Dan the Automator and Del, but gorillaz just never did it for me. I feel like it’s kind of neither here nor there. I don’t hate it. It’s just mostly kind of boring.

Killing Joke

4/5

Was cool. Kind of punk, electronic rock type of thing. Don’t know the correct genre terminology.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

4/5

It’s ok. Not my type of rock. But I understand the appeal.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Pretty cool. Comfortable rock.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

5/5

Loved it. Fun album

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

4/5

First track was really cool

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Cool. Like it.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

It’s ok

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

Classic

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

5/5

Classic

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

Sounds funny now. Association with silly characters in comedy movies. Like jack black etc.

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

4/5

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

Hearing after a long time. Some songs are really off key. And also it’s sometimes hard to take serious because of how much she over enunciates every word and how lyrics are a bit silly

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

5/5

Loved it

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Very 80s

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

2/5

Not my thing
