At Budokan

Cheap Trick

3/5

Surrender still seems like the standout track.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

3/5

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

3/5

Seems like it would have lots of depth on repeated listens.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Eccentric, fun, excellent.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

2/5

Ok sixties record. Nothing particularly stood out.

Tapestry

Carole King

5/5

Really excellent. Sounds like an intimate conversation with a close friend on a Sunday afternoon.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

Some good tracks, but never quite matched the hype.

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

2/5

Nothing remarkable.

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

2/5

I'm sure it's great, I just can't seem to get into Latin Jazz.

Revolver

Beatles

3/5

Good album, but not magic for me.

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

Very good, one I've always heard of, but never listened all the way through before.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

2/5

Not really my thing.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

1/5

So dull.

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

2/5

A bit too confused and erratic for me.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

Not really a bad album, just nowhere near as good as the previous two, and the mix is awful.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

2/5

Take Five I already knew, as the intro music to Secret Life of Machines. Don't think instrumental jazz is that interesting for me.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

Ok rock album, but the longer jam sessions make it feel unfocused to me.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Already knew it from long ago, and a nice folk album with familiar classics.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

I remember the excitement of it coming out, but I didn't really get it then, and not sure I do now.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Good, now seems very straightforward Rock'n'Roll.

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

More varied than I'd imagined for a 'straight up' rock album, generally good, but not amazing.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Excellent album, and one of my favourites from Led Zeppelin.

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

4/5

Very good, always heard about it, but never listened intently before. Some of the vocals/guitar are a bit piercing and atonal. But I guess that's part of the theme.

Miriam Makeba

3/5

Was good, probably doesn't sound as groundbreaking now to a western audience as it did on release.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

2/5

Go your own way and chain are good, plus the mixed male and female vocals are nice, but otherwise a pretty dull album.

The Yes Album

Yes

2/5

Prog still isn't my thing, too many things happening at once, doesn't feel like there's a real cohesive song anywhere. The Clap was interesting though, as a single guitar piece.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

3/5

Seems good, didn't listen to all of it.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

3/5

Seems good, quite mixed, doesn't feel revolutionary to me, but I wasn't there at the time.

Real Life

Magazine

3/5

Didn't have a long listen, seemed interesting, but sounded uncomfortable at times.

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

Excellent pop-punk album.
