For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

3/5

#1 on the random list. Great starting point. Didn't know a lot about this album prior.

The Cars

3/5

#2 in the list, great album with some bangers!

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

#3 on my random list, Absolute classic. One of the the first albums I remember listening to as a kid. The opening 3 tracks: So Far Away, Money for Nothing & Walk of Life are a great opening, then gets a bit slower and deeper. Ultimately ending with Brothers in Arms. Classic rock album.

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

Certainly what i'd normally listen to, but something I just put on in the background and enjoyed.

Blondie

4/5

When this came up in the list I thought, oh this will be a good one. Lots of the absolute classic Blondie tracks that I grew up with. Heart of Glass is an all time favourite. One Way or Another and Hanging on the telephone compliment this further. Was torn between a high 3 or a low 4. Heart of Glass gets it the 4 stars.

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

3/5

Not my favourite fatboy slim album (that's You've come a long way baby), but some good tracks here, (Going out of my head and Everybody needs a 303). Is it repetitive, yes, but it it bad? No. Solid 3 star album for me.

Tommy

The Who

2/5

This came up in the offering today, at first I was keen because everyone knows pinball wizard right? Sadly for me anyway that was the only hilight, I'm not a huge fan of rock operas and this one was both long and largely boring, so long that I didn't even finish the album. If it wasn't for Pinball Wizard I'd probably have given it as single star, but because of pinball wizard (and the fact that I quite like pinball) i'll give it 2 stars.

I lasted one track. This was not my groove thing at all. No idea how this made the list, still it is educating me on stuff I don't like.

White Ladder

David Gray

3/5

Felt like I've listened to this album before, but I haven't. It's pleasant enough but very generic. Babylon is the standout here though have heard it hundreds of time but never took any notice of the artist or album.

Radiohead

4/5

Certainly not my favourite Radiohead album, but it's good, not 5 star good, probably not even 4 star good, but it's better than a 3 star album. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would. Thom Yorke has an amazing voice, so that rounds it up to a 4.

Rap isn't my thing. Gave it a listen and it's ok, not sure if it's just my general dislike for rap but this didn't do anything for me.

I don't feel like this was an album I absolutely had to listen to, but I have and we now move on.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

3/5

After listening to this, particularly "blame game" I know know why Lewis Hamilton is going out with Kim K. Rap's not my thing, probably never will be, but this was OK.

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

It's one of my favourite albums of the grunge era, it's unrefined, yet refined at the same time. The trackseven flow, alive, black and jeremey are punchy, raw and explosive. While the back half of the album (Oceans, Garden and Deep) become more mellow and almost melt away. Porch is the notable exception here as it really is a jolt after Oceans. Maybe it belongs in the first half, but maybe not? Later Pearl Jam albums (vitalogy on) became more refined but Ten really captures the sentiment of the era.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Heads will roll is an excellent track. That song alone gives this 4 stars in my books.
