The Velvet Underground

5/5

Was already a fav of mine - a go to album for when I'm trying to get to sleep or a rainy day. Every time I listen to this album I'm reminded of the first time I listened to it in full. I'd gotten the keys to my first ever flat in the city and spent so long getting my new room decorated that I had to get a late train back to my Parents' house so I listened to this on the walk through the rain to the train station. Pale blue eyes is one of my favourite songs of all time

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Really enjoyed havalina - quite dreamy and a great ending to the album. A solid album with a cohesive vibe but still takes from different genres for some contrast - great to just have on in the background.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

2/5

I remember quite liking Monk's stuff in the past but this album is kinda weak to me. On monst of the tracks it feels like there's an instrument missing - they feel incomplete.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

Elvis Presley

4/5

Decent album - can't really go wrong with a bit of Elvis

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

There are few things I love more than Simon and Garfunkel. America is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever written.

Fleet Foxes

3/5

Was expecting a lot more from this as I know some very cool fleet foxes fans and the album cover is gorgeous. I was underwhelmed.

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

4/5

Pretty good. Nothing spectacular but a solid country album.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Damn you Phil Spector. Horrible man, some amazing albums.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

I swear anything Paul McCartney touches turns to gold (fuh you incl.). This album is so fun and filled with Whimsy. Title track is obviously a classic but the whole rest of the album is just amazing also.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

5/5

Has a great energy to it

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

5/5

I mean... I actually need the vinyl variant with the actual zipper on the front. Brown sugar is a classic. Wild horses is perfect. The whole album is gold. What the hell was in the air in the early 70s??

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

1/5

Shite

Basket of Light

Pentangle

4/5

British folk music will forever feel very nostalgic to me as a Scottish person and I really like the psychedelic and south Asian influences that come through in this album. The album does feel a bit monotonous which made it drag a little in my opinion. (Might be better as background music so will hold onto it for studying)

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Title track is odd - it's experimental but doesn't really hit for me - although it does fit really nicely with the concept of the album it's just not the most enjoyable listen I appreciate that the album has running themes and a fun concept but it's not something I think I'd seek out. In the morning of the magicians is a pretty good song and has a cool pink Floyd esq feel but less immersive.

Peter Gabriel 3

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Very cool album cover. It's a good album but doesn't really stand out much for me.

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

I find this album to be incredibly overrated. Common people isn't a bad song and I think it's probably the only one that doesn't feel like filler, that said I still don't find it particularly groundbreaking. Maybe I'm just too middle class for this but I don't think it's making as big a statement as people make it out to be.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

I don't really have many thoughts on this. It's not bad but I wouldn't listen again.

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

2/5

Was gonna say it was decent but too unoriginal but actually listening to the lyrics I hate this. More than half the album is just about wanting to marry rich and spend his money but in a 'female-power' way. It's so stupid and superficial. Also hate the album cover - girl clearly has no fashion sense so why does she need the money anyways

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

4/5

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

It's solid but doesn't really stand out to me.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

I always forget how much I love Dusty Springfield. This album has some bangers but doesn't completely blow me away.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Have had this album on cd for a while and had never actually listened to it all the way. Good album.

Heroes

David Bowie

5/5

Love Bowie so so much. Heroes is a very sentimental song for me as with many Bowie tracks. Also loved beauty and the beast and secret life of Arabia.

1984

Van Halen

3/5

It's not bad but it didn't really do anything for me. Doesn't feel like there's really any heart to it.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

5/5

This is my favourite album of all time. I'm not exaggerating. This is one of the greatest albums ever made and I simply couldn't live without it. It was my top album on Spotify last year and will be my top album this year. It's actually not funny how much I love this album, the cd was like £60 and is my most prized possession. Fuck I love George Harrison. I dream about George Harrison far too much. George Harrison. It's impossible to even say what my favourite song(s) on this are because I love every single one. I listen to this album all the way through at least once a week.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

4/5

Iron Maiden

4/5

Wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did - always had this idea of iron maiden being super metal and I do like metal but sometimes it's too much for me. this was a lot chiller than expected and really easy to listen to. Will defos listen again.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

4/5

Fun listen

Music From Big Pink

The Band

5/5

I know it's not really the point of this but I love when it gives me an album I know and love. Probably the best rendition of 'i shall be released' I've listened to and the cover art is the coolest. I have this album on CD and it's an easy reach for me.

Imagine

John Lennon

5/5

Had never listened to this album in full but have loved jealous guy for forever. Overall a great album. I love listening to the Beatles' solo stuff and noticing which aspects from their stuff as a band came from each of them.

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

It's a really solid album but slightly over hyped in my opinion. Think my expectations were too high but I can't really fault it.

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

I get the appeal but it's not my exact cup of tea, the vocals are beautiful but a little cutesy for me

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

3/5

Wasn't a big fan
