If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

I listened to them before. I forgot how much I liked them. Since this is rating the alblum I am giving a 3. This is because I like all thier music about the same and cannot distinguish what one of thier alblums is getter than another. I would give the group a 4.

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Classic. Always Good to hear al alblum by one of Rock's Founding Fathers. I smiled because I thought of Richie on Happy Days.

3/5

Liked the alblum. Like JJ. But this is the extent. I enjoyed listening but JJ and the alblum is a one time listen through.

Classic Band, Classic alblum. Rounded up to a 4.0

Elephant

The White Stripes

3/5

One song does not make a classic alblum. But a very good song can and did raise it to an average 3 rating

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

Arular

M.I.A.

2/5

I give it a 2 just based on the Sanford and Son tease.

Dizzee Rascal

2/5

When I think of "Rap" and/or "Hip Hop" this is the stuff I think of. Not really music in my opinion

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Completely enjoyed. Every track was quality. As close to a 5 as possible. 4.49. 7 o'clock news/silent night song was thought inspiring.

The Cars

5/5

I forgot how much i liked this alblum. Remembered all the songs. Found myself singing (badly) to all the songs. Brought back fond memories of friends and good times. This album is one of the best debut alblums ever. I feel forced to give a 5 star rating.

GREY Area

Little Simz

2/5

At least it was in English.

Born To Be With You

Dion

3/5

An above average listen. I was surprised to see it was released in 1975. When listening I thought it was much earlier

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

3/5

My definition of a 3. A pleasant and enjoyable listen. Would not purchase. No songs that I loved and no songs that I found horrible. A good average alblum

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

2/5

A very "dream like" melonic listen. Like being in a trance.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

2/5

Not a fan. I was surprised that they had 2 alblums in the top 1001. I was even more surprised they came up so soon together.

Illmatic

Nas

2/5

Not a RAP fan. But I imagine that this alblum would be considered a good one. It seems to have all the ingredients that I think of when I think of RAP.

Dry

PJ Harvey

3/5

Never heard of her. I was pleasantly surprised. She sort of reminded me of a cross between Anne Lenox, Cindi Lauper and Blondi (I know dated refences). This a good example why I am glad I took the time to join the group and expose myself to new/different music.

LP1

FKA twigs

3/5

Background music. Nothing to much write home or here about. Nothing that stuck as a reason to listen to again

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Wimsical light hearted 80s sounding alblum. No substance or memorable

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

The definition of a classic rock alblum. Found myself smiling while listening to the popular songs. Enjoyed listening to the non released songs. A solid 4.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

A lite enjoyable alblum. I enjoyed

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

3/5

I liked it. Bonin in the boneyard was upbeat as was the rest of the alblum. It deserves to be in the top 1001 alblums.
