Close To You

Carpenters

3/5

Not bad album but definitely not for me.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Absolute classic album! One of their best. Of course "Gimme Shelter" is the biggest hit of the album but I do like the blues-ish songs: "Love in Vain", "Country Honk" and "Live with Me". Btw, "Love in Vain" was written by Robert Johnson. The title song "Let It Bleed" is pretty good as well. The only weak song is "Monkey Man". "You Can't Always Get What You Want" closes the album in great style. A bit repetitive but nice song.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

1/5

I never got into funk music and this album keeps me away from it. Found it bit boring, chorus are too repetitive and tiring. Gotta be honest, I skipped the last song, so damn boring.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

1/5

When this popped up I thought "not again". I've seen this album in so many different lists and tried to listen to it before but never passed from the second or third song. I finished the album but didn't listen to any song until its end.

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

Nice one! I'm wasn't familiar with this album, actually not very familiar with Bowie's work but I liked this album.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

Good stuff. I knew the song Wild World thanks to Mr Big wonderful cover. Later I found it was a cover from Cat Stevens and gave the album a play. It was refreshing to get to play this album again after so many years. My favourite song is "Hard Headed Woman" that reminds me of Jethro Tull.

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

1/5

Joan Armatrading

5/5

What a voice!! I have never heard about Joan before and this was a great surprise! What brilliant album!

Black Sabbath

5/5

The album that started it all! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Black Monk Time

The Monks

3/5

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

Ahh Classic American hip-hop!

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

4/5

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

If you forget that is Elvis you might end up enjoying this album, or part of it as it is too mellow for my taste, too many ballads. The 3 last songs are totally forgettable.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

5/5

The 3rd album of one of the most amazing, wonderful and brilliant three-album run in the music history "Machine Head" is an absolute classic hard rock album. The band was on fire! The synergy is extraordinary, everything fits perfectly: Lord's magical keys, Blackmore's delightful riffs and solos, Glover's perfection and Paige's precision and Gillan's golden voice! Favourites: Highway Star, Lazy, Space Truckin', Never Before, Maybe I'm a Leo, Pictures of Home and Smoke On The Water (yeah got tired of this song even though it is a classic). Magnificent album.

Debut

Björk

3/5

1984

Van Halen

5/5

Classic VH ! The album starts at the 3rd track for me as I got tired of Jump and Panama over the years. The drumming on the beginning of "Hot for Teacher" is just crazy, probably the best song of the album. "I'll Wait" is the weaker song of the album. The album ends very well with "Girl Gone Bad" and "House of Pain".

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

1/5

It could be used for background noise but it is so boring even for that.

Joanna Newsom

5/5

Whoa ! This is something else, not your usual hits and radio friendly music. If you are a close minded person don't even give it a try . If you want background noise then skip it. It needs time to digest it, to get yourself familiar with her voice, arrangements and the wonderland where this album lives in. Once the initial shock pass one can discover the wonder of this fairy tale inform of music, only more complex, unusual and unique. "Monkey and Bear" is my favourite song of the album.

Kenya

Machito

5/5

I was expecting not to like this but ended up playing this album three times! Nice discovery!

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

5/5

Well, well, well. One of the best live albums ever!

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

5/5

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Blood, Sweat & Tears

Interesting fusion of jazz and rock.

Dry

PJ Harvey

4/5

The Only Ones

3/5

Nothing remarkable

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

All songs are forgettable except for "Superstition" that is better played by Stevie Ray Vaughan's btw.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

Phrenology

The Roots

4/5

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

4/5

Jeff Beck! This was the first album that I checked Wikipedia before hitting the play button as I don't like Clapton playing. I first discovered Yardbirds because of Jimmy Page and then Clapton and Beck but never properly played any album before before this album. I never like Clapton as guitarist and found him very overrated player, fortunately this album features Jeff Beck on guitar and was the reason I give it a go. This is a studio album and features original compositions. If you like rock music from '60s you are in for a good treat.

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

Not only a classic but an excellent album.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5
