Scott 4

Scott Walker

5/5

If you only buy 1 Scott Walker recording then this is it. Worth it for the bass line in the 'Old man's back' alone

Rio

Duran Duran

2/5

Its ok, pop and a little lightweight but they did ok on it so good for them

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Great album, totally immersive listening

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

Gimme some truth is a personal favourite and obviously imagine and jealous guy are big songs but not moved by rest of it.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

3/5

Me Against The World

2Pac

1/5

Not for me, repetative

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

4/5

Tina and Chris really stand out on this album

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

4/5

Enjoyed it, tripped out late 60s isnt an easy listen but its fun

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

3/5

The kind of 1st album where afterwards the band splits and goes onto better things

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

Not for me but the band can play

Country Life

Roxy Music

3/5

Arty pop is my best discription. Very good in places

Caetano Veloso

1/5

Music is good but he cannot sing

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

3/5

Hasnt aged well, Billies voice sounds rough and I dont think it pairs with the style of music. But hey thats just me so 3 stars just because its Billie Holiday

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

Great album, captured the band really well. Prefer this to the studio albums

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

4/5

Sounds older than it is but I quite liked it.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

2/5

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

5/5

Oved it

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

5/5

Solid album

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

If Carlsberg made Christmas albums then they'd be hard pressed to beat this one. 5 Stars all the way

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

For me it's the production values that save this record. Some outstanding tracks but also some filler. The Everley brothers cover shows they had run out of material and ideas

The Modern Lovers

4/5

You just know that many UK Punk bands must have heard this and took its energy.

Da Capo

Love

1/5

Dross, must be a generational thing

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

1/5

If indie did prog rock then this is it, self indulgent with nothing for the mob. I imagine a lot of critics will love it for that but for me it's an album you are supposed to like and you end up clinging to snippets of excellence.

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

4/5

OK some dodgy lyrics but really enjoyed this album, some great music

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

4/5

Great album, as soon as it finished I put it straight back on

Maxinquaye

Tricky

5/5

Can't believe I missed this 1st time around, fantastic album.

The Score

Fugees

1/5

Yesterday I had Maxinquaye by Tricky, it's hard to grasp that both albums were from the same year. This one is empty, devoid of originality and sounds very old

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Good album, a genius at work

Achtung Baby

5/5

Following Rattle and Hum was always to be difficult but this album is almost a different band. Thoroughly enjoyed this classic

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

1/5

Not one for me, it became wall paper music after a while, probably better suited to a Starsky and Hutch episode

Synchronicity

The Police

1/5

It's 1983 Punk, new wave, post punk have been and gone, tail end of new romantics are about, goth and pyschobilly are established, British bands are trying jazz influences, UK indie bands are exploding everywhere. This album shows us what tripe the mainstream was feeding us Shite!

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

4/5

The only acceptable metal band, love it
