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.

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

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

Another Green World

Brian Eno

4/5

Mostly calm, quite experimental, quite good.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

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.

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.

2/5

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

'70s in 1986? No, thanks.

Africa makes it interesting and exotic.

4/5

Simple, original, good.

Rattus Norvegicus

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.

It might be a classic but not my taste of music.

Very talented.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

3/5

1967. but not bad at all - especially for country music.

War

4/5

'I can't believe the news today.' - The situation is the same now, 05.03.2026. Have not heard it for long years but it still works.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

2/5

This albus shows almost everything I hate about the music of the seventies. Nice album cover artwork by the way.

Rush

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

3/5

Speaking about similar style, I prefer Tori Amos' music way more.

The Undertones
