Suicide

5/5

Exactly the sort of grinding repetitive synth noise that I love. Happy with this find. Although I was not quite prepared for the trauma of Frankie Teardrop. Lovely coincidence that the song and album features on the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere which I watched later in the day on a flight.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Quite incredible how old this album is and that TRS are still recording and touring.

Queen II

Queen

3/5

This album was mostly unfamiliar to me, apart from Seven Seas of Rhye, which I absolutely loved as an 10, 11-year old. It brings strong memories of listening to the Queen Greatest Hits while playing a fantasy role player book called City of Thieves. The entire album seems to fit that genre for me.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Sounds so contemporary!

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Definitely a classic, so much misogyny though

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

3/5

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

The album that made me properly become a Radiohead fan.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

A classic.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

4/5

This was huge when I was at university, ‘Frontier Psychiatrist’ seemed to be on student radio all the time. Fun album.

Scissor Sisters

3/5

Keep thinking I'm listening to Elton John. Fun; little bit too bouncy for me.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

5/5

This was such a big album for me in my early-mid 20s. Love it.

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Some absolute gems.

Vivid

Living Colour

3/5

Sounds so contemporary for a record from 1988.

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

2/5

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Impossible not to be drawn into Sinatra’s smooth style!

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

4/5

One of a kind voice. Love the Bowie influence on this one.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

2/5

Social commentary.

Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

I remember this taking the world by storm back in the late 90s but somehow it never connected at that time. Now I see the similarity with Calexico, right up my street - not to mention it's español.

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

2/5

Very much reminded me of Paul Simon and then it turned out that’s because they featured on an album from when I was small. Or perhaps even before that. Good facts.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

3/5

Odd, proggy, chaotic - a forerunner of GOAT? My first introduction to this band was via The Simpsons and it’s an association that won’t budge.

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

2/5

I want to like it but it's so very country.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Classic but also a little uneven. And yet..a classic.
