I knew Ice T was a rapper in his previous life. I've enjoyed him as a character on Law & Order. I'm not a big rap fan, but this album was at least interesting.

This album has been well known to me for over 40 years. It is a brilliant piece of punk pop the likes of which we will never see again.

4/5

Leonard Cohen has achieved legendary status in the realm of folk music. This album is an excellent example of 1960s folk music.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

2/5

Well, I'd have to say that this kind of music isn't exactly my bag. I did listen throughout and for what it is, it is well produced and aside from most of the lyrics it is clever and thoughtful.

Yawn

Very uneven 80s technosynthpop

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

5/5

An amazing collection of standards from a true giant.

The Libertines

3/5

Not sure how this album got passed over when it released, maybe they were a little past their niche time which probably would’ve fit in better in the late 70s, but for what it is, it’s an interesting mix of power punk that’s worth listening to

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Start to finish a interesting collection of 80s alternative new wave music

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

If you think you might like iron maiden, you will like this. It is surprisingly well produced, and the musicians clearly have talent.

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

Some of the albums in this collection of 1001 must listen are a little iffy, this one is not.
