A Hard Day's Night

Beatles · 1 likes

5/5

From the first iconic note to the end, practically every track is a well known favourite! I think its the first one where every song is an original Lennon/McCartney song. Really enjoyable to listen to

Still not a Coldplay convert! A couple of good songs. Point for each

3/5

Some good singles off the album, some of the other songs were more fillers

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

1/5

He's not a bad songwriter and plays guitar well but he can't sing. Every song was dirgy! The last one Joan of Arc was bearable but I'm not sure if that's because I'd made through the album!

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

2/5

Not as strong as their slightly later album Doolittle. But interesting as you can see their development between the 2

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

2/5

I've not listened to much of this music but I quite enjoyed the first CD. It was good background to work to. The 2nd CD was a but more of a struggle

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

Really enjoyed the album. Good songs, well crafted. The guitar in This is Love really reminded me of Captain Beefheart!

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

5/5

Vespertine

Björk

2/5

Some tracks were pretty good, she has got an amazing voice. It felt quite seasonal to be listening to it in December. Other tracks were a bit too avant garde for me. But I'm tempted to give it another listen - could be an album that grows on you! But for now...2 stars

GREY Area

Little Simz

2/5

Not what I usually listen to but I didn't mind it. Lyrically ok and any album that has Michael Kiwanuka on it can't be all bad!

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

Some well polished tracks, good vocals and mixture of genres. Possibly a bit too long!

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

2/5

Jazz isn't my thing but a couple of the tracks were easy listening. Hes definitely talented. Ideal music to listen to in a smoky jazz club at 3am!

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

Moondance

Van Morrison

The Blueprint

JAY Z

2/5

2 stars because there are some good samples on there!

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

1/5

Nothing different to any other band like this around at the time. Not sure why it's in the list!

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

A few well known tracks on this album, but quite a few I didn't know. Can understand how some of them didn't make the Best Of albums! But good all round production, and what else can you say about the vocalist and musicians!!

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

Not that much of an Oasis fan but still a good album with some cracking songs

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

Who can't like an album that has 'out of sight' in its lyrics! I like The Kinks and there are some good songs on it, but there must be stronger albums than this that could go on the list?

System Of A Down

2/5

It's a shame as I was really looking forward to listening to this. It's not bad, but didn't quite live up to my expectations. You can tell what singles came from it

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

David Bowie

4/5

Typically Bowie, some good tracks, others not so. Mick Ronsons guitar is great though. The album generator missed a trick putting this up on 7th January, it should have been the 8th or the 10th.

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

Okay, not the best vocalist but such a good album. I'd forgotten how much Climbing Up These Walls reminded me of the Comsat Angels

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

Would have been 5 stars but Run For Your Life is...problematic!

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

2/5

I should like Coldplay more than I do. Musically they're pretty strong but vocally Chris Martin can sing at a pitch bordering on something only dogs can hear

Nowhere

Ride

3/5

I quite liked it. A bit too long - had it been 35 minutes it may have got 4 stars!

Germs

2/5

Don't mind a bit of punk sometimes. Never heard of these...think I know why

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

3/5

Not really aware of Missy Elliotts work but I really enjoyed the album

The albums that have come up this week have been challenging. I'm feeling a bit jaded! Too many songs on this record, only 1 or 2 of them any good. Self indulgent, 3 sides too many. 1 star

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Personally not their best one, but still good

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

A mix of styles but surprisingly I really enjoyed it!

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

1/5

I am surprised this is in the top 1000 albums, am I missing something? Sounded like American 1970's glam rock
