Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

3/5

The opening song goes HARD, rest is pretty groovy. I love the basslines. Fav song is ‘Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough’.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

3/5

Loads of iconic songs, second half is better than the first. I prefer ‘Bad’, but Michael’s vocals are brilliant in this album. Fav song is ‘Billie Jean’.

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

The title song is SO PRETTY. This album is so Zach Bryan coded with all the harmonica. “Everything dies baby, that’s a fact but maybe everything that dies someday comes back” PERIOD. I love that line. Such a beautiful album overall. Fav song is ‘Atlantic City’.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Second half of the album isn’t as good as the first half. Fav song is ‘Wild Horses’.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

Holy groovy. I love 90s rap. I really like the guitar in the title song. Fav song is ‘My Adidas’.

Moon Safari

Air

2/5

Very funky album. Really pretty instrumentals but also really hot songs. Fav song is ‘Sexy Boy’.

Pornography

The Cure

5/5

Very short album. Very gothic, very dark and mysterious. Similar to She Wants Revenge or Siouxsie and the Banshees. Fav song is ‘Siamese Twins’.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

2/5

Very cute album. I prefer his folky stuff to his more jazzy stuff. Aoibhe reckons the album sounds like something from the ‘Adventure Time’ soundtrack. Fav song is ‘One of These Things First’.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

2/5

Very full of life. I prefer the songs with less organ i think. Fav song is ‘Back At The Chicken Shack’.

Copper Blue

Sugar

4/5

Very fuzzy/hazy, dirty basslines. I LOVE the guitar solo in ‘A Good Idea’. Very summery album. Fav song is ‘Man on the Moon’.

Horses

Patti Smith

4/5

I read Patti Smith’s book, but I hadn’t listened to much of her work, so I’m excited. Holy angst. Very groovy, yet also very punky. The second song has a reggae vibe? I don’t like the spoken word song so much. Fav song is ‘Redondo Beach’.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Very on theme for today. A load of absolute classics. Fav song is ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’.

Odelay

Beck

3/5

I only knew ‘Loser’ before now, so excited to listen to a new album from Beck! Second song is bluesy with rap? Lots of hiphop influences. Fav song is ‘Hotwax’.

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

1/5

Very dark and grimy. EXTREMELY long album. I’m kinda scared of these songs… Fav song is ‘(Well) Dusted’.

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Dead Kennedys

3/5

Very OG punk. Sounds exactly like Sex Pistols to me… I like the bass in the third song. Very political? Nearly every song sounds the exact same bro. Fav song is ‘Let’s Lynch The Landlord’.

Blackstar

David Bowie

1/5

This album TERRIFIES me. It’s just kinda unsettling. I get it’s about him dying because he had cancer but come on now. Fav song is ‘Girl Loves Me’.

Infected

The The

2/5

Pretty unique sound. Not at all what I thought they’d sound like. Fav song is ‘Angels of Deception’.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

3/5

Very different to ‘Golden Brown’ which was the only song I knew from The Stranglers. Some very unique songs on this album. Fav song is ‘Peaches’.

Low-Life

New Order

2/5

Pretty different to the other stuff I’ve heard from New Order, not for me tbh. I quite liked the first song though. Fav song is ‘Love Vigilantes’.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

1/5

Not my cup of tea tbh. Fav song is ‘Let the Good Times Roll’.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

Prime example of hard rock. I love the guitar, I don’t really like the vocals though tbh. Fav song is ‘Black Night’.

The United States Of America

3/5

Most of the songs are kinda scary, sounds like smth out of an arthouse horror film. A very long album. Fav song is ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

I love this. Genuinely so groovy it’s unreal. Straight bars. I don’t enjoy the song with the vocal sample though. Fav song is ‘Method Man’.

Penthouse And Pavement

Heaven 17

1/5

Not a big fan of synth pop but the album is very 80s. Some pretty groovy songs tbf. A lot of very unique songs… Seems to be a political statement. Fav song is ‘Geisha Boys And Temple Girls’.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

Very excited to listen to this one, I love Fleetwood Mac. I prefer their older stuff, I have to say. Fav song is ‘Think About Me’.

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

1/5

Can’t say I love listening to albums in different languages but at least I can improve my French? Pretty cute songs but not a bit of me. Fav song is ‘Le dernier repas’.

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

Very long album. A lot of futuristic stuff going on, not my fav thing in rap. There’s some rlly fast rapping here, they’re talented tbf. Fav song is ‘Ms. Jackson’.

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

2/5

First part of the album is very trip-hop, Massive Attack coded. A bit slow and mellow for my taste… The second part I enjoyed more, very Inhaler coded. Overall though I prefer smth more exciting. Fav song is ‘Fountain Stairs’.

The Score

Fugees

3/5

Lauryn Hill is truly an icon. Some pretty iconic songs in this album, so I have to give it credit. Overall a pretty good album. Fav song is ‘How Many Mics’.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

1/5

Only knew like two songs from Nina Simone going into this. She’s a phenomenal vocalist. I don’t really like this genre of music however. Fav song is ‘I Love Your Lovin’ Ways’.

The Slider

T. Rex

2/5

I didn’t know many T. Rex songs before this but I loved the ones I did know, so I had high hopes. I have to say I was kinda dissapointed, it wasn’t great. Fav song is ‘Baby Boomerang’.

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

I like a bit of his solo work, never heard him with his band. Pretty groovy iwl. I don’t like the slower songs as much. Fav song is ‘Next Time Round’.

Vivid

Living Colour

3/5

I was expecting 80s synths, I was NOT expecting this. Some unreal guitar solos !! Wasn’t prepared for the hip hop track in the middle? Fav song is ‘Middle Man’.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

3/5

I knew some of Joni Mitchell’s work but not all of it, so I was excited for this !! She’s an incredible vocalist, but tbh I didn’t really care for this album… I much prefer the folky guitar songs to the piano ballads. Fav song is ‘California’.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

4/5

I was really excited for this one ! Soundgarden are a staple of the grunge genre, and Chris Cornell is incredible. Fav song is ‘Black Hole Sun’.
