Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

5/5

Morissey sounds pretty flat, as always. Great album filled with the usual The Smiths depression, hopelessness and dark humour.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

3/5

Amazing voice. The vocal runs induce goosebumps. Decent album, some amazing songs, a few good ones and some fillers. Definetly earned its place on the list.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

This album sounded great as a 19-year old, but with each passing year it seems to lose its shine. Love the bass slapping and funky sounds, but it just feels a bit boring. Scar tissue is still a beautiful song.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

Interesting album, tin whistles, irish folk and some punk rock. Good album if you enjoy songs about grief and sorrow, and the common folk.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

2/5

Quite boring. Not my cup of tea. Album sounds a bit like a collection of lullabies. Very soothing

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

1/5

One of the albums ever. Too minimalistic for my taste, decent background noise for working. In my opinion this album does not deserve its place on the list, but I might be missing some backstory.

Being There

Wilco

3/5

Never heard of the artist before, but its a good album. Very pleasant sound, with influences from many different artists and sounds. If this album is only the 3rd best album by Wilco, I'm very excited for the other 2!!

Boy In Da Corner

Dizzee Rascal

2/5

A few good songs, but all in all not that good of an album. I can see its meaning to British rap & grime, but the songs didn't really make me feel anything.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

Great album!! Love the sound. Having listened to later SD's albums, this one has more of a soft rock sound, and less jazz vibes. Very pleasant album to listen to. Only a fool would say that has to be my favourite from this album.

Vulnicura

Björk

2/5

A very very odd album. It does seem very personal, and Björk does really seem heartbroken. Not a terrible album, but maybe its just a bit too artsy for my taste. Did not really enjoy the album, but it was an interesting listem.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Excellent album. Bob Marleys voice is really soothing, and the album makes it feel like everything is good in the world for a while. Many fond memories associated with this album.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

I have never liked Dylans raspy voice, but the lyricism on this album make up for it. Every song feels like its own, well written little story, full of yearning. I've never listened to a full Dylan album before, but I definetly will be giving his discography more attention after this listen. Easy 3, close to a 4

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Enjoyed the album. A smooth sound, and its very interesting to hear the similarities to more modern indie rock albums. None of the songs really stood out, but overall a good listen

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

I really like Zep, and while Physical Graffiti is not their best album, its still a great album. Really enjoyed the funky Trampled under foot, and ten years gone is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs. Really like the mix of different genres, but the album feels a bit long.

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

2/5

Angelo Badalamenti vibes. Weird album to be included in this list. I don't find much to say about it. Not bad, not great, quite atmospheric but I cannot find a reason why I'd have to hear this album before i die.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

Beautiful album, definetly earned its place on the list. Some of the songs feel even too cluttered with the "wall of sound" style. I do like the harmonies though. Some of the songs sound christmassy - propably because of the flutes, tambourines and chimes. I was wondering why Sloop John B sounds so familiar, but found out it's used as football chant!

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

3/5

Not what I expected based on the album and band name. Very smooth and chill album, good for relaxing. Beautiful voice.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

Good. Nice soft rock.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

Very experimental album. Not a big fan of half the songs being instrumentals. Sound and vision is a great song, I really like the repetitive, stuck instrumentals a lot of the songs have. Bowie never fails to be cool, love the otherworldy sounds and themes of Low.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Guitar playing seems to be carrying this album. Down by the river has amazing guitar riffs, and is a really good song. Overall the album is decent, it has aged really well, and is hard to imagine it being from the 60's.

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

2/5

Can't stand the throaty voice of Waits. Definetly unique album, but not for me.

Marquee Moon

Television

3/5

Suprisingly good album, will have to give it a re-listen later.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

3/5

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

I like Bowie, but this album is definetly disapointing. One song can not carry the whole album.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

A strong 3, a very good album. An interesting collab, tho is does just sound like an extension of arctic monkeys.

Suicide

2/5

What a weird album. I do like the sound, its very unique, but still somehow falls flat.

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

Nice and calm album, Me and Julio is definetly the best song, no other standout songs.

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

1/5

I cannot handle another full album of ballads without a single drum snare. Not my kind of music, couldn't think of a situation where one would listen to an album like this.

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Smooth

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

4/5

Will need to give another listen. A good rock album.

The Number Of The Beast
