Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

5/5

Saw PJ this year and she's just as good live as she was back then

Rush

2/5

Has it aged well compared to similar bands? I'm not sure, it's just the start of my musical journey!

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Still unsure if this one aged well. It was a great narrative though, from start to finish.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

5/5

What can you say about such a classic album that's not already been said. Really enjoyed taking the time to listen to this in one sitting.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

1/5

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

5/5

Nice to go back to where it all began!

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

3/5

Not as good as I remembered it to be.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

Ahhhhhhaaaaa

Close To You

Carpenters

5/5

Still one of my favourite albums of all times. One of the world's most underrated female drummers and so sad we lost her so soon.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

5/5

Saw PJ this year and she's just as good live as she was back then

Leftism

Leftfield

5/5

I do hazily remember Leftfield as the music to come down with (with a touch of Primal Scream in the mix of course). It's still a worthy album with nots of interesting sounds and layers - I've enjoyed the Thursday afternoon time travel to the early 1990s !

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

2/5

Not sure this one aged well at all!

Black Metal

Venom

5/5

Loved having this as my Sunday AM soundtrack !

The Stranger

Billy Joel

2/5

Has not changed my pre-existing opinion that this album sucks.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

It's been a while!

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

5/5

Absolutely a classic

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

2/5

Xtina has a few decent moments on this one but there's some doozys.

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

5/5

I did enjoy this, not every track but what it represents. Slim Shady captures a specific time when young white disenfranchised men plus an epidemic of heroin brought the trailer park reality of America to the world stage. I think it's a really important album.

Bossanova

Pixies

5/5

Ah sweet Frank always a pleasure ❤️

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

3/5

This album is the reason I joined 1001, to extend my listening to albums I steered clear of due to assumptions I'd hate it! I actually really liked a lot of these tracks. Old mates a Trump supporter so I'm not going to pay to see him but enjoyed the listen.

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

What an amazing story behind this album ❤️ Bowie was the best, the most talented the cleverest and funniest. Faced death with strength and determination and gave us this beautiful gift.

Pump

Aerosmith

1/5

God, that was dreary.

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

Looking forward to this one!

Snivilisation

Orbital

4/5

1977

Ash

5/5

The boys from Downpatrick - what a lovely place - oh yeah !

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

5/5

I get so sad and upset when I listen to an album of such brilliance, with a talented writer, multi-instrumentalist and someone so pained that they stabbed themselves to death. Rest in peace ES. I'm so sorry everything was so shitty for you here x

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

2/5

Well, this is unexpected ! Can't wait :-) ... Hmm ok. The ole vibrometer wasn't as fun as expected !

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

5/5

What can I add that hasn't already been said. This inspired so many great bands, obviously a classic.

Real Life

Magazine

3/5

Never heard of this band - but was excited to see they are an offshoot of the Buzzcocks. That first riff hooked me - it's rad !!! As it went on it was ok ... not earth shattering but pleasantly different

Gris Gris

Dr. John

3/5

It's a 3 for novelty value. Not something I'd choose to play on the regular!

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

I love you Nick 💗💗💗

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

5/5

Great live band, love the aesthetic - LOVE A FEMALE DRUMMER Can't get Ring my Doorbell out of my head now !!!
