What a way to start this journey with an absolute banger. Saw Oasis live so I can't give any other rating than the full 5 stars. Biblical.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Legendary. In my childhood I often heard Iron Maiden and especially this album.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

2/5

Psycho Killer is a classic. Overall the album is fun but not really my cup of tea.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

Beautiful. Makes me wanna light a cig and have a whiskey.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

A classic.

Kenya

Machito

3/5

I love jazz but I’m not familiar with this combination. But I’m liking this more than I expected!

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

2/5

This took me to the local pub. After a few beers, this album would hit hard, but otherwise it’s a bit too boring for my liking.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

Fun, rock n roll itself. Made my foot move along the beats. I would listen again but nothing really stuck out for me.

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax

2/5

It’s a vibe but because of the length, this album became boring.

A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

2/5

Okay so I actually enjoyed the beats and the groove. However, this didn't bring any major new elements that I haven't heard before. I don't usually go for this type of music and this didn't change my mind.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Marvellous album. Made its job to create the Christmas spirit :)

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

Another absolute classic. Paradise City gives me chills in the best way possible. What a memory lane.

The Slider

T. Rex

4/5

Wasn’t familiar with this album before but it’s pretty likable. T. Rex is always a safe bet. A solid album.

Hysteria

Def Leppard

3/5

A solid rock album. Nothing groundbreaking. I only knew Pour Some Sugar On Me so this album did not have the memories aspect. That’s why it gets 3/5.

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

”Every Breath You Take” did and will always do something to me. Also, honorable mention to ”Murder By Numbers”, sick track! Overall, the album was mediocre. If I could, I would give 3,5 stars.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

2/5

Damn, I really wish this album had more variation. Some songs just sounded the same to me. The Doors is amazing but this is just not my favourite album from them.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

5/5

Now this is what I’m talking about!! I just love that damn guitar. Usually I don’t like songs that are super long but with this, I don’t mind it at all. Vibes are immaculate.

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

Honestly the album is beautiful, I am just rarely in a mood for this type of melancholy.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

2/5

It’s fun and energetic. I just don’t see myself returning to this album.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

I appreciate experimenting but no. Extremely anxiety inducing.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

5/5

Aah, I’ve totally forgotten about “Lovely Head”, what a tune! I learned it again that trip-hop has my heart. The vocals are insane. I absolute adore the seductive and mysterious vibe this album gives.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

2/5

I have to admit that I’ve always struggled with Neil Young and this album was no exception. The songs don’t vary enough for my liking and his voice doesn’t do anything to me. But “Southern Man” was pretty good and it got added to my playlist!

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

3/5

”Take On Me” is one of my least favourite classic songs but I think overall the album is pretty solid.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

3/5

Nice background music, pretty enjoyable and chill. Nothing special.

Let It Be

The Replacements

3/5

I was scared when I discovered that this album contains punk as I’m not the biggest fan of it BUT I was pleasantly surprised when solid rock and chiller songs strated playing.

Revolver

Beatles

3/5

I prefer other Beatles albums.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Jeez another Neil Young’s album for this week. I preferred this one though because it had more variation and it was more energetic. Liked the violin on “Running Dry”.

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

This album woukd hit while being drunk or even tipsy. Not my favourite album from Daft Punk.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

a pleasant surprise

The Stooges

3/5

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Occasionally kind of repetitive. I enjoyed “A Strange Boy” a lot, apparently a song needs few guitar chords and I’m hooked.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

2/5

Adele

4/5

Yes. Absolute ride on a memory lane.

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

3/5

3/5

Very noice, liked “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” a lot

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

A decent jazz album

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

2/5

This album didn’t deliver, it gave me nothing. Meh. I gave it 2/5 because of the the few pretty nice but kind of mid guitar solos

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

1/5

i’m shocked but not in a good way. A couple songs left me speechless because of how bad they were.

Queen

3/5

Yes the Queen sound is there. Not a total fan.

3/5

What a banger is "Lost in Music"! If I had existed in the 80s, I would have seen myself dancing in a disco to this

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

3/5

Honestly my exceptions were low but this was a decent album. I probably won’t return to this but it was alright.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

2/5

What a snooze fest. This is the type of music that gives me nothing.

3/5

for me the problem with the most hiphop albums are that they are just too long and kind of tiring. I just have to be in a mood to listen to this and that happens rarely. but however I understand why some people absolutely vibe with these type of albums
