We can call it music but it is far, far from enjoyable.

Wild Gift

5/5

What a brilliant band and superb album!

Rubber Soul

Beatles

3/5

Not as bad as an average Beatles album. It is almost good, actually.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Too '70 for my taste but not a bad album at all.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

4/5

Pioneers.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

One of the best metal albums of all time. Flawless, heavy and creative. The Number Of The Beast and one or two Megadeth are the others on the very top.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Half of it is too tapid for me. The other half is all right - although I do not like this genre.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Good songwriter. The Clash, Red Hot Chili Peppers and so many others can be heard here before they even existed. The bass player, Bruce Thomas, must be mentioned.

Movies

Holger Czukay

3/5

Quite strange, artish, unique and ahead of its time. Some parts were entertaining, some were not so much for me.

#1 Record

Big Star

2/5

Very '70s. Naive (vacuous?), simple, boring. Not my taste at all. 2 points, closer to 1.5.

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

Not bad, not good, not my taste. With the original Behind Blue Eyes on it!

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/5

A very good reggae album. I can not stand reggae music.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

3/5

Very good in its style.

Fred Neil

2/5

Nice, deep voice, original, personal but quite boring music.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

2/5

Jazz is OK but bossa nova is very far from my taste. Sounds brilliant and, listening objectively, it is a very good album.

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

Strange, interesting and good enough.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Lovable.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

2/5

Unique and very '70. Not my music.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down

The Dandy Warhols

5/5

A REAL band playing real music. I liked it very much.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

2/5

If you like the music of the 70s... I do not.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Got it on 25th of December.

The Cars

4/5

Not bad. Better than most of the others from the 70s, actually.

The Stone Roses

4/5

I feel too much Beatles in this music for my taste but it is still very close to five stars.

Sail Away

Randy Newman

3/5

Very, very good, perfect but not my style.

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

1/5

Perfect name. Perfect music - for The Blue Oyster Bar.

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

1/5

We can call it music but it is far, far from enjoyable.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

Elvis. That's it.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Pop. I'm on fire and Dancing In The Dark are fine. I was born far from the U.S.A.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

4/5

Mostly calm, quite experimental, quite good.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

Oldie. Not bad, nothing special. It is very strange that the album is named after a Bob Dylan song released some month earlier and covered here as the first song on it. 3 points, very close to 2.5.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

2/5

Minimum amount of music.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

2/5

Yes, but no.

Foo Fighters

4/5

Raw. Liked it very much.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

I was not fond of this album when it came out. My opinion changed during the years. Do not forget that this is not the original cover art. That is even better than this one. NINGHTRAIN! 4.5 points, lets say 5.

Van Halen

5/5

WOW!!! Sounds very empty - only the three instruments plus the singer, nothing added.

I Am a Bird Now

Antony and the Johnsons

2/5

No, no, no, thanks. This voice irritates me. So does the music. :((

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

Almost as boring as 1969 made me believe. 2.5 points.

Fragile

Yes

2/5

Oh, no, another progressive rock from the 70s. Mood for a Day is very good classical guitar composition.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Small Faces

2/5

Very '60s. Not my taste. Toy Dolls fans: original Lazy Sunday (Afternoon) can be found here.

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Better than the most of the albums I had to listen here. 3.5 points

The Stranger

Billy Joel

2/5

Not good, not bad. Gave me nothing.

Musical personality goes a long way.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

2/5

Very far from what I call music.

Heaux Tales

3/5

An average R. Stones album.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

5/5

What a debut.

Tres Hombres

Very '70s but, exceptionally, I liked it. Three musicans, nobody else.

Skylarking

XTC

2/5

'70s in 1986? No, thanks.

Joanna Newsom

3/5

Quite unique and interesting but not as good as strange. Her voice is hmmm, divisive.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

Africa makes it interesting and exotic.

On The Beach

Neil Young

2/5

Very '70s. The sound of this era irritates me. Quite boring.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

Simple, original, good.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

The first three songs and one, two more are fresh, simple, melodic. The other half is average.

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

Very good.

Close To You

Carpenters

2/5

Oh, how sweet, soft and kind. And how far from my taste. It could be good in 1970 when released. When I heard Carpenters' version of a The Beatles song I could say nothing but Help. 1.5 points.
