The Stone Roses

4/5

One foot in the 80s, one in the 90s. Plenty of light jam and pop harmonies. Should have been on the Friends soundtrack. Goes from pop to jazz to funky, a great listen.

Eagles

4/5

Wild how many absolute hits were on this album, couple of stinkers but a genre defining album with massive hit appeal.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

Raw and filthy, hard not to love it but certainly the times have changed, lots makes you uncomfortable, that was kind of the point. The constant back and forth between Dre and Snoop makes even the lesser known classics absolute bangerz.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Gets better and quite good by the end, but the first few tracks don't do the album justice.

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

Five star classic from front to back. Honest, raw, fun, memorable. An actual album, and a damn good one, not just a collection of random punk tracks.

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

3/5

Starts fun, then crooner/sad. Classic honky tonky lighthearted country, followed by some love songs.

Basket of Light

Pentangle

2/5

Fun but not my cup of tea. Varied! Some joni mitchell esque numbers too.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

Some absolute hits and everything listenable, I remember being blown away by this album when it dropped, and it's aged pretty well.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

Covers but his voice and style are so iconic is carries the whole thing

Joan Armatrading

3/5

Clear voice, great melodies.

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

3/5

Chill, happy flow.

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

5/5

Really good, poppy, gritty at times, lyrically complex, really good.

Very

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Light and breezy harmonies. Great cover of 'go west'

Rocks

Aerosmith

3/5

Had much of what made later Aerosmith great, but peters out by the end.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

2/5

Irish jams, a mumford band. Turkish song of the damned was fun.

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

3/5

Fun, unexpected brit new wave fun.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

Light and breezy, chill rock. Feels like a direct precursor to jack johnson type "vibes". A pleasant listen.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

5/5

Haunting and truly goth in the original sense.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

2/5

Not their best work, some haunting melodies but no earworms

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

4/5

Her vocal chops shine through the most on the tracks you've never heard. Better than I remember.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

5/5

Track to track, a pop delight. Cindi's 4 octive range shines on classics, and her cover of Prince's 'when you were mine' is a perennial favorite. A perfect pop album.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

Some massive hits, some classic crude interludes, some surprise funk. A early hip hop classic.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

3/5

solid hip hop, catchy, the good stuff.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

4/5

Enjoyable, fun really. An air of fun and newness and lightness and inside jokes.
