2/5

Production is okay, the vocals and lyrics are not Definitely could've died without listening to this album

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

2/5

I appreciate the incorporation of African music, but after reading other reviews, I'm not sure how ethically this was done. Wouldn't listen to this again, but maybe I should stop reading reviews before I listen to the albums! Just found out he was married to Vivienne Westwood, I appreciate the taste Also love organically discovering samples that I didn't know about before

The Rolling Stones

2/5

It's good, but it's an album of covers and probably won't listen to again, although I definitely appreciate their original music more Favourite: Carol

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

The Poet

Bobby Womack

3/5

Great start. Love the bass guitar in Lay Your Lovin' On Me Very funky

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

We started off very strong until I got to the covers, Mr Postman was amazing but I wasn't very partial to the rest of them. I love the harmonising in You Really Got a Hold on Me Can't wait to listen to more Beatles!! Favourites: All I've Got to Do & All my Loving

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

2/5

Its good... but it's not great A lot of the songs are too long and just blur into eachother, which isn't always a bad thing but not this time I like the vocals and the jazz elements

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

I froth me some electric guitar I’ve noticed a trend with old albums incorporating the harmonica, which I love it Bring It on Home especially the transition into electric guitar WOW Just a really good album with some great hits that all gels well together (minusing one star for Moby Dick, what was that???)

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

3/5

Not amazing but good for a debut album, I guess. Why do I keep getting debut albums!!? Music is catchy but the vocals are a bit grating Favourite: California Waiting and Talihina Sky (very beautiful closing song)

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

Even though I was born in the early 2000's this album makes me nostalgic for a more fun time Favourite: (3 is) The Magic Number (duh)

Peter Gabriel

2/5

Not really my vibe. I enjoyed the tuba (I think) in Excuse Me, I feel like I don't hear that very often I definitely think the last few songs on the album saved it for me Favourite: Modern Loven and Here Comes the Flood

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

3/5

An objectively good album of all their hits and I'm sure it sounded amazing live Just not my type of music, and did not bother to finish listening to it

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

All started to sound the same by the end, but still a good album

Protection

Massive Attack

1/5

The WORST album to listen to on the stair master, it made 20 mins feel like forever I can’t appreciate the artistry but I just did not enjoy

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

4/5

I love love love Frank His voice is just so beautiful His songs make me so nostalgic, they make me wish I was living in an old movie I love his incorporation of various instruments, the harp!!! Minus one point because all the songs start to blur together after a while

The Velvet Underground

2/5

I don’t know if I’m uncultured or not but this did not hit the mark It was just boring

Dire Straits

4/5

It has the Sultans of Swing so obviously it just can’t be a bad album. This is a GREAT debut album I really enjoyed it

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

Fatboy Slim will always remind me of Derry girls Started off strong but every song is just soooo repetitive I had to skip most of them towards the end The hits are great and there's a reason they're popular, but I don't think that should justify this album being classed as one of the best of all time

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

2/5

Ehh tried it a few times and couldn't get myself to finish it

Atomizer

Big Black

1/5

Arular

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

As someone who doesn't like metal I liked this! The songs did all sound similar though

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

Classic dad rock, can't go wrong The guitar solo in Still In Love With You was beautiful, would've been life changing hearing that live Why did I think the backstreet boys sang The Boys are Back in Town whoops Favourite: Dancing in the moonlight (the sax :PPP)

Feast of Wire

Calexico

3/5

Kind of a random mix of genres but it works. Very elevator music vibes at times, but not in a bad way at all. Probably wouldn't listen to again

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

Wouldn't it be nice is just a great opening song Some of the songs are a bit slow and drag out, so the album feels inchorent at times I love their harmonies

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

3/5

There are some great songs, but they just get lost in the album it is soooo damn long. I feel like Hey Ya just doesn't fit the whole vibe of the album, but not complaining

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

3/5

I really like his voice. Maggie May is a great song

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

2/5
