Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

I'm not sure I love the tinny vocals on a lot of the tracks that are common for that genre in the 80s. The Yo Yo Man is a bop though.

Tommy

The Who

3/5

Enjoyable. Crisp vocals and enjoyable riffs. I also got a bit more into the lyrics of this and found a new Christmas song. I don't think I've ever listened to an album all the way through that it a story about a character - so an interesting first for me.

Elvis Presley

4/5

Thoroughly enjoyed the energy of this album. Interspersed with some real crooners but I don't mind a soppy love song tbh. Trying to Get to You and I'm Counting On You are personal faves. Definitely an era defining release.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

3/5

I'm surprised You're Crazy isn't more widely known. Best song on the album - those guitars!!! Have to say a couple of their songs are pretty bad - but overall a really fun listen.

The Joshua Tree

3/5

Semi-enjoyable mum-rock

Stardust

Willie Nelson

2/5

Beautiful lyrics and songs overall... probably each best enjoyed for me in isolation. September Song is obviously a stunning piece.

With The Beatles

Beatles

1/5

Till There Was You is quite nice but I'm surprised this album is on the list - it's quite forgettable. Constant harmonising lol.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

I love Steely Dan. I'm cruising in a Porsche alone a California coastline lol.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

Cream

4/5

Weird ending but pretty nice overall

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1/5

Does Anthony Kiedis think he can rap?
