Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

Excellent album, I feel bad for only listening to a few smashing pumpkins songs now.

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

Excellent album, and it's American Idiot (the song) that introduced me to Greenday way back in 03/04 - good times. I was surprised to see hardcore Greenday fans say it is not really punk rather more emo. In a way, I agree but this is a fantastic album and listening to it again in 2025 is even more relevant thanks to the political lunacy.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

What an incredible album. Opening with a banger in Brown Sugar and then it just gets better. I've missed out by knowing just one song from this album!

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

3/5

Not my favorite, but appreciate the flow.

The Stone Roses

3/5

A good, but not great album. Fun to listen to and reminds me a lot of The Cure.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Not my kind of music but I'd happily listen to it at a cafe or a lounge!

Close To The Edge

Yes

2/5

Not my kind of music again, it's probably in the hippy category for me.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

Girls Against Boys

2/5

Sounds like a bit of something that NIN would be inspired from, but not my cup of tea.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

If there is a thing I really dislike, it's Christmas songs.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Superb! The riffs come flying and very entertaining to listen to. I'm surprised I was only familiar with 2 songs out of the entire album.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

Brilliant album. I'd heard of the Carpenters but never really checked them out - my bad. I also knew the song "Lovefool"but never knew who performed it. Now, I do.

Kid A

Radiohead

2/5

Radiohead is simply just not for me. I like a couple of their tracks, but overall it's just not my sound.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

There, now back to bands I know. I already knew Three Steps, Free bird and Simple man off of this album so I knew I would enjoy at least those, if not for all songs. But, pleasantly surprised at how well rounded out the album is.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

3/5

Beautiful vocals, engaging and nice but I don't know if there is much in terms of repeat value for me.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

Again an album where I knew only one song. I like several ZZ top songs, but they're spread out over albums and it's nice to be reminded of which ones are in what.

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

4/5

Honestly, I had no idea what to expect from a band with this name. Something political, weird? Not really, funky, beautiful music and perhaps something that sounded amazing from my new headphones. I am not sure about replay value, but this is great music.

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

3/5

What an odd album, punk, emo, ballad all in one.

LP1

FKA twigs

1/5

What is this shit?

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Love Clapton, so this one was easy. Already knew Layla of course, but the others were a pleasant surprise. Super chill to sit back and listen to.
