The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

2/5

Smash

The Offspring

1/5

Really poor album. I love punk rock but they ain't it

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

I do like this.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

5/5

The best album of all time.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

2/5

Indian Sunset is gruesome and cringe worthy, even for the 70's. Holiday Inn was ok actually. I do like Homie Clothes So Tiny Damn, Son. All the songs are too fussy and some of the strings are oppressive. What is the deal with that chorus on Nasties? I didn't care for his piano playing. It sounds the same on every song.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

3/5

Very interesting. I liked hearing the original source of samples for some hip-hop classics, but this is not something I would listen to again.

The Stone Roses

4/5

I'm surprised that I haven't listened to this before. It's a good album. I liked the Resurrection and Waterfall songs. I will listen again, but solid album at one go.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

I didn't register but everybody knows this album is good..God Only Knows and Caroline No are top-ehelon

Basket of Light

Pentangle

2/5

Nothing really stood out. The songs with the male singer are a drag. The woman singer sounds much better. I feel like this would be better without vocals as background music for a BBC period piece.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

Glad I heard this. Reminds me of City of Good soundtrack (I'm well aware that it predated that movie, but it's what I, a white boy from the USA heard). I loved it

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

2/5

Weather to Fly is that straight-up Beatles descending chromatic but it works well. Overall group reminds me of British Sea Power and a little of early Coldplay. Not bad. Oof the Fix is in song is terrible

The Clash

5/5

Stunning album. I'm partial to the US pressing which came out with Complete Control added because that's the one I grew up with. The UK version is flawless.

Skylarking

XTC

2/5

I liked the first track. Then it seemed like every other track was a slip. I made it few several though and it was better than I remembered but Dear God is one of the worst songs ever recorded.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

The hits really are the ones that stand out. A whole lot of sax on the album tracks. Head Over Heels is a terrific song that I kind of forget exists.

Cypress Hill

3/5

Good beats but never a fan of B Real's flow

Station To Station

David Bowie

5/5

Title track is a wonder. Love TVC15. Word on a Wing and Wild is the Wind are two of Bowie's best vocals. This is one of his best works

The Yes Album
