Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

3/5

I really like it when he’s not shouting like a drunk old man. Unfortunately he does that quite a lot. The instrumentals are beautiful

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

One of the greatest albums from one of the greatest artists of all time. Starting off very strong, hard to top this one

Document

R.E.M.

2/5

All the songs sound the same to me. I think the songwriting sucks too, they repeat themselves constantly. Don’t think the lead singer has a nice voice. Some of the instrumental parts are cool but doesn’t make up for the rest of it being pretty lacklustre. Wasn’t a very enjoyable experience overall

Elvis Presley

3/5

“Those blacks do make some good music… let’s steal it”. The guy does have a very captivating voice though, gotta give him that

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Loved it! I’d heard of steely Dan before but could never tell you one of their songs. Was expecting more of a rock album for some reason. Recognised the MF DOOM sample from operation doomsday straight off the bat, knew I would like it once hearing that. Obviously recognised peg too, that’s a great song. Love this genre especially from this era, could listen to it all day. Was bopping along to every song. Will definitely listen again and will explore more of their music too.

The Specials

4/5

Reminds me of being a kid, enjoyed it

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

2/5

Meh.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

3/5

I thought I’d dislike it more than I did. Know idea what the fuck he’s talking about half the time but the production made it listenable. Sounds like a musical

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

1/5

This is the album satan puts on to get his army of demons hyped up for an attack on heaven. Sounds pretty cool but makes for an awful listen.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

1/5

My god his voice is annoying

Snivilisation

Orbital

2/5

Was hoping I would like it more as I do generally like this genre, but it left a lot to be desired to be honest

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

2/5

I hate her voice

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

4/5

Just about steals a 4 from me. Drags a bit at times but I do quite like jazz. Can imagine it was amazing to see live

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Feel like I’m listening to super hans. Not bad but not my cup of tea

Shalimar

Rahul Dev Burman

4/5

Don’t judge a book by its cover. I actually really enjoyed this lol

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

1/5

This shit sucks

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

3/5

Pleasant listen, not really my thing though. Probably won’t listen again

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

Didn’t mind it tbh. Got a bit bored towards the end as it all started to sound very similar but was bopping my head to most of the songs

The Bends

Radiohead

3/5

Not really the biggest fan of Radiohead, don’t quite get the hype to be honest. Some songs are okay but all a bit bland imo

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

I love albums that try to take you on a journey and this definitely does that. I love when artists put effort into clean transitions between songs too, it heightens the whole feel of the album. It’s weird but I guess that’s kind of the point. Critically acclaimed for a reason

Stankonia

OutKast

5/5

I fucking love this album. OutKast have never missed, not once. If you don’t rate this a 5 then I hate you and we’re not friends

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

Anything by MJ is gonna be great but this one isn’t quite up there with off the wall or thriller for me

Foo Fighters

4/5

Sick

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

3/5

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

1/5

I feel like I’m tied to a post hanging over a fire whilst they dance around in circles singing these songs in their weird cult. There’s a lot of weird hippy shit on this list and I am not a fan of it at all

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

Just about steals a two as the instrumentals aren’t horrendous but my god the singing is so grating

The xx

3/5

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

2/5

Not for me

Pretenders

3/5

I don’t mind it but I’m just so bored of listening to rock albums from the 70s and 80s. Could the guy who made this list not have branched out a bit more?

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

3/5

I really like it when he’s not shouting like a drunk old man. Unfortunately he does that quite a lot. The instrumentals are beautiful

Arise

Sepultura

2/5

I always like these albums for the first couple songs, then I just get so bored of it and my head starts to hurt. Little something called variety never hurt anyone but I guess that’s besides the point for artists like this

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

Revolver

Beatles

3/5

I get why they were so popular in the 60s. I don’t get why we still need to listen to them now

Winter In America

Gil Scott-Heron

3/5

Feast of Wire

Calexico

3/5

Not bad

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Unreal album, pioneer for females in hip hop which we love to see. Is a little fluffy though, could cut it down a little bit. Doesn’t quite cut a 5 for me but I’m not mad if you do give it to this

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

2/5

The Joshua Tree

2/5
