The Score

Fugees

3/5

Not entirely my cup of tea, but I've always been interested in 90s RnB 🤔

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

Classic rock'n'roll!

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Kind of feels like a prototype of music that I like more...but not quite fully baked.

Ten

Pearl Jam

3/5

Good early 90s hard rock. Not completely my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the shredding.

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

Pretty classic, although also pretty overplayed...preferred him in the Beatles!

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Not my favourite album of hers, but very soulful and emotional.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

Now here's some classic soul/RnB. The author of so many songs that he didn't sweep the floor with himself!

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

4/5

Ooh, now we're talking. I have to admit i'd never heard of her, but that was very relaxing!

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

2/5

Interesting stuff...never listened to anything like it before. Pretty repetitive to my ears, but technically cool.

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

2/5

Not really my thing - hard to say whether it's technically good or not! Made it through though.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

Bit more up my street, very 90s, Beck vibes - nothing that'll stick in my head, but solid overall.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

There's some pretty funny stuff on there. I'm a big fan of "I'll be glad when you're dead".

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

another classic - i know several of the songs, but not the whole album. Not mega my thing but I can appreciate it.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

3/5

They've got a couple of recognisable classics, but I found the rest kinda un-memorable.

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

3/5

I love Blur, but I think it took them a while to get into their stride - i'd rate this album as "fine"

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Now we're talking...a classic double album. I could listen to this all day.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

Genius indeed...very catchy (and long, a double album)

Young Americans

David Bowie

2/5

everyone seems to love Bowie, and I definitely don't dislike his music, but this album...didn't have anything memorable on it :/

NEU! 75

Neu!

4/5

Wow - didn't know what to expect, didn't have high hopes, but that was great! Will check out their other work!

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

2/5

Generic 90s indie-rock...I'd rate it as "listenable" but definitely not "memorable"

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

1/5

Bit, uh, grimy for my tastes.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

3/5

Liked that more than I thought I would - never listened to hip-hop/RnB on purpose but it's nice focus music. Better than lo fit hip hop girl

Black Sabbath

2/5

I don't really get this style of metal. Can't figure out what they're saying. Old man yells at cloud.

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

3/5

Haven't heard of this guy, but it's fairly inoffensive easy listening.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

3/5

Blimey, it's the Father Ted song! The only catchy song on the album, unfortunately...

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

1/5

I agreed with my colleague on this one...utter garbage. Neither of us can stand it!

Violent Femmes

3/5

Another "fine" album...I'm giving a lot of 3s here

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

Another one that's not really my cuppa

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Great stuff, I hadn't listened to this album before, but it's definitely got the signature Fleetwood Mac sound. One thing I really like about their music is how crystal clear and well-produced it is.

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

Somehow missed this one. Not my fave though, bit pre-Smiths

Kenya

Machito

4/5

Ooh, another unexpected gem

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

Never listened to Willie Nelson before, but it's my kind of country/blues. Seems like this album is mostly covers, but they're all really well done.

Revolver

Beatles

3/5

It's the Beatles, so I think i'm supposed to give it 5/5, but it's not their best.

Basket of Light

Pentangle

4/5

Nicer than I expected from the album cover! I'll remember the artist.

Hotel California

Eagles

5/5

Top tier. I've always loved Eagles!

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Funkalicious.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

2/5

Decent music, another one that's not really my genre though.

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Pretty neat, the prototype of the electronic music I came to love.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

A favourite of my father's.

evermore

Taylor Swift

2/5

I never really got Taytay? It's all fine and easy to listen to, but it all feels so...shallow when you read the lyrics. It's been heavily tailored to GCSE English students.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

Ooh, 90s classic. More up my street

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

I like The Who, and it's a decent album, but i'm not sure if I think a live album is epic enough to include in the 1001 list!

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

3/5

Eh, it was fine.
