Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

Crown of Love and then Wake Up, wow. Shame the singer’s a perv.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

6/10 Not as timeless as eg Funeral by Arcade Fire, but a lot of fun. The big hits are phenomenal but the rest feels a little shallow.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

8/10 Octopus’s Garden and Bring Back That Leroy Brown are cut from the same cloth. Otherwise simply excellent, but dragged down by one bat-shit song.

Illmatic

Nas

4/5

7/10 Nas isn’t the most engaging rapper over the course of a whole album, but there’s so many all-timers on here it’s an undeniable great

Foo Fighters

3/5

6/10 Fascinating to hear that Foo Fighters sound fully formed straight out the gate. Odd to hear it without it being on any of the huge hits.

Bossanova

Pixies

5/5

9/10 Incredible!

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

4/5

7/10 AC/DC always deliver exactly what you expect of them

Morrison Hotel

1/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

7/10 I loved so much of this, but there’s too many long, meandering, ABABABAB songs to hold my attention throughout

Transformer

Lou Reed

5/5

10/10 I love that Bowie production, I love the weird songs, I love the sheen of cool over the whole thing. Completely my speed
