Mothership Connection by Parliament

Full albums a banger from start to finish. Its hard to listen without bopping your head throughout Standout - it’s hard to single one out, you've gotta listen to it start to finish. I did like handcuffs a-lot though.

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Didnt really resonate with me at all, sorry janis. Shes a very good singer dont get me wrong

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Dec 31 2025

Probs best radiohead album Stand out - Jigsaw, Nude, Videotape

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 01 2026

Better than expected. Tom waitsy. Too bloody long like. First half better the the last half. Standout - get ready for love, hiding all away, there she goes my beautiful world

Blur by Blur
Jan 02 2026

The death of brit pop in album form. Sounds like 5AM at the after party. Be good if you stopped picking me fave albums of all time Stand outs - beetlebum, your so great, death of a party, strange news from another star

Disintegration by The Cure
Jan 05 2026

The end of robert smiths attempts of writing pop music, after kiss me and head on the door. All three albums are amazing. Some pretty bangers - plainsong, pictures of you, lovesong are the best 3 openers ever. Lullaby is a classic. Does tail off near the end. I prefer his more depressing earlier stuff like

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 06 2026

Terrible. Dunno how Antony keidis has made a career out of being a terrible singer with terrible lyrics. Everything starts OK then he starts singing. Stand out - breaking the girl, I could have lied

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 07 2026

Grand. Best listened too live, stood in a field at 1AM too out of your mind Stand out - emotional haircut, i used to, change yr mind

Jan 08 2026

Forgettable, its a one and done record ill likely never play again Standout - on some faraway beach

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jan 12 2026

Full albums a banger from start to finish. Its hard to listen without bopping your head throughout Standout - it’s hard to single one out, you've gotta listen to it start to finish. I did like handcuffs a-lot though.

Hard to describe this as anything other than a masterpiece. It was already one of my top 10 albums of all time so hard to not give it anything other then 5/5 Rock and roll suicide is great. When he goes YOURE NOT ALONE! Ya know, ya feel like youre not alone :( Five years is the greatest intro ever Starmans amazing. I keep watching the TOTP clip and when he starts hit little pointing thingy with mick ronson you realise hes just the greatest rock star of all time. And the other three spiders from mars are hull/driff lads so whats not to like.

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Jan 15 2026

I dunno what makes this stand out from any other jazz album. Its just jazz man

Spiderland by Slint
Jan 16 2026

Worlds second best black country new road tribute band Stand outs - good morning, captain. (10/10 song), Breadcrumb trails

Melodrama by Lorde
Jan 20 2026

Not for me. Imagine it would be great if i was a 14 year old girl going through puberty though Standouts - green light, the Louvre

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jan 21 2026

You want it darkers class, the rest is a bit old man dying samey

Jan 22 2026

Not bad. Does needs a second visit. Steely dan-ish. Standouts - south California purples, I'm a man

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 26 2026

MASTERPIECE Makes you wanna sip whiskey and smoke fine cigars Standouts - they aint one, but 7

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 27 2026

I played this for my daughter and she started crying. Sign of greatness Got my man adrian belew on guitar, whose just swell. Standouts - march of the pigs, heresy, hurt

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jan 29 2026

I feel i awarded this unfairly cos im full of cold. That said who wants deee-lite at 7am on a wet and windy January, when you are full of cold

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jan 30 2026

Ba duba duba duba du - derr duuu Top bass The only jazz album i like!

Feb 02 2026

This was great. Bit bright eyes-y. The last half of the album really made it for me.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 03 2026

Absolute banger. Peak new york cool Standouts - get innocuous!, north american scum, all my friends, sound of silver And lets be clear that new york i love you but you're bringing me down is the best song ever written ever, ever

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Feb 05 2026

A solid 3. But i do love lou barlow, so Biased. Really liked soul and fire, and sister

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Feb 06 2026

Think i had this on while getting a massage one time

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Feb 09 2026

You cant really hate anything here. A great album to stick some wallpaper up too. Classic bangers - you make me feel so young, pennies from heaven, under my skin, anything goes

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Feb 10 2026

I like the line “falls wanking to the floor” from time. The only way you’re gonna trip up doing that is by walking. The mental image of bowie having a wank while having a walk is humorous to me. You cant do both at the same time, surely? Anyways, i do love this album. Especially side B. Time to Lady grinning soul is such a good run of songs. Drive in saturday is also one of his best evers. That said its not as good as ziggy. Its a solid 4.5. I even think its not as good as station to station or Low. I think if it had john, im only dancing on like it was meant too it may have pipped a 5. Alas, i went 4.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 12 2026

Roadhouse blues is class. The rest is pretty standard doorsness. Not the best doors but not the worst

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Feb 13 2026

Its harmless dull good fun.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Feb 16 2026

You cant hate dusty. Voice like delightful soup

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Feb 17 2026

If this was a soup it would be chicken & veg. Its ok but not what you wanna eat

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 18 2026

I forgot how good malibu is. I do prefer the other two hole albums but this was pretty good. A STRONG 3

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Feb 25 2026

Pleasant music from a devious bastard

Brothers by The Black Keys
Feb 26 2026

Could be the most overrated band of all time. Just find em really dull and repetitive.

Homework by Daft Punk
Feb 27 2026

Orite but bit repetitive. Nowhere near as good as discovery. Da funk is a standout

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Mar 02 2026

Didnt really resonate with me at all, sorry janis. Shes a very good singer dont get me wrong

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Mar 04 2026

Not great is it. I really like “a quick one” but this is just daft I can see for miles is good like

Ramones by Ramones
Mar 05 2026

Sometimes you just need dumb punk rock

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Mar 06 2026

Tell ya what, i did quite like this. Enjoyed the dolphins and sweet cocaine very much. Didnt care too much for everybodys talkin’, just cos nillson kinda stole it and made it his own and a million times better. Well done fred xx

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Mar 10 2026

God damn fantastic album. Underrated and overshadowed by take me out, which is a good song, but theres so much better on the album Jacqueline, tell her tonight, darts of pleasure,michael, come on home get big top thumbs up.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Mar 13 2026

I tried listening to 40 seconds of it and gave up

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Mar 16 2026

I like this. Kinda gives me punk velvet underground vibes.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Mar 17 2026

Dont listen to anyone else its getting a 5 Maggot brain is the best guitar solo of all time. Eddie hazel is better than hendrix i tell ya Can you get to that may be the best funkadelic song ever Hit it and quit it is again/super stupid - peak eddie hazel. I like the way its kinda psychadelicy 60s rock more than funk. Ya certainly cant pigeon hole funkadelic I sure as hell wish i were in that recording studio when this was done.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Mar 18 2026

I dunno man. Seems a bit shite to me

Kimono My House by Sparks
Mar 19 2026

Good clean fun. This town aint big enough is my new karaoke song. Amateur hour is also great Love sparks me

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 23 2026

I dont get him. Just sounds like any other modern hip hop. Nout remarkable or groundbreaking about it I dont get how hes a genius when he wont shutup and his dick being free and yams. Maybe im not cool enough

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 24 2026

Kendrick got nothing on the smooth buttery soul of Isaac Who else is banging out 19 minute soul classics Who knew chef from south park was this good!

Cross by Justice
Mar 25 2026

Brings back happy memories of being fucked in a field at glasto xx

Microshift by Hookworms
Mar 27 2026

I actually quite like this Shame about the rapey cunt

Station To Station by David Bowie
Mar 30 2026

I mean …. MASTERPIECE Station to station is the best ever bowie song. Golden years makes ya boogie. TVC15 makes ya wanna shout OH MA TVC 1 5. Stay is the funkiest song in the world and has the best ending ever. Could go on. But I’m biased and love bowie too much.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Mar 31 2026

Not great miles, should be ashamed of yourself

Calenture by The Triffids
Apr 01 2026

Shite

Apr 02 2026

It annoys me that i enjoyed alot of this. Guy garvey is obviously a pint man, every other lines about pints being class. I can respect that. Drinking in the morning sun i can only assume means pints for brekkie. Alot of the songs sounded like theme tunes to BBC2 comedy dramas. Did like audience with the pope and the fix. Cos of the theme tune-ness Best songs bones of you. Does slap although its a bit of a bends radiohead era rip off

Apr 03 2026

MASTAPICE not me fave floyd but its a classic aint it. Always loved breathe and time. Brain damage and eclipse are the best ending ever too. Classic roger. You have to listen to it start to finish really dont ya

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 07 2026

I found this quite unremarkable hippy nonsense. Sick of hearing about woodstock crosby. Until our house. What a lovely song. Gets a 3 just cos of our house.

Apr 08 2026

I actually enjoyed revisiting this far more then I expected. I think it must have been the nice weather or something. The Linda songs are the best ones

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Apr 15 2026

I think weve all found an album we can agree on. That agreement is its shiteness

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Apr 17 2026

Was a bit gutted this wasn't sugar ray. Every morning is a banger

Pornography by The Cure
Apr 20 2026

I love pornography

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Apr 21 2026

If i were 14 id have loved this

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Apr 22 2026

I both found this shite and weirdly alright at the same time

Parachutes by Coldplay
Apr 28 2026

Bends rip off

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 29 2026

I find his voice a bit annoying after a while but i cant hate it, especially Olivers army - which might be one of the best songs ever written. He's like an english new wave bruce Springsteen a bit

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Apr 30 2026

Knopfler is clearly a very good guitarist but i cant really say anything particularly stood out. Sultans of swing is orite. But youre never gonna bang the album on are ya

May 04 2026

I can respect this, and appreciate its pretty good if your into that sorta thing, but i certainly aint no fan

Be by Common
May 05 2026
May 06 2026

Grand stuff, some pretty songs here. If anything its a bit long. I do like the jackass theme too

Dust by Screaming Trees
May 08 2026
L.A. Woman by The Doors
May 11 2026

Nout wrong here. Peak pissed morrison. LA woman the song is mumbley greatness

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 12 2026

Not bad . I dunno what else to say really. Man sings like foghorn leghorn

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 18 2026

I mean perfect album aint it. After hearing the first half 1,000,000 times the last half of the albums even better. I could listen to hand of doom forever. Just dirty funky little bassline. Rat salads amazing. Fairies wear boots makes ya jump up and down. Makes ya think fairies are real and that Very happy memories of sabbath at download while Ozzy was still able to perform.

Debut by Björk
May 19 2026

Kinda think its great. Shes in a league of her own aint she. Human behaviour is otherworldy

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
May 20 2026

Pretty nice sea shanties. Lady singer has a lovely voice. Some of if bizarrely reminded me a bit of post rock, matty groves ending was like acoustic silver mt zion

Roots by Sepultura
May 22 2026

Right bloody onslaught. Ratamahatta was like a brazilian salsa dance off. Roots bloody roots is class. Full album doesnt know when to stop. Dynamically its just loud start to finish.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
May 28 2026

Masterpiece! Absolutely love tom. Love the dark and dingy blues. Love the beautiful twisted ballads. Songs like on the nickel and rubys arm are very beautiful and pretty. That whole run of albums is great, blue valentine, swordfish, rain dogs. I get his voice is a bit hard to get into but when you get it, ya get it.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
May 29 2026

I meaaaaaaan. Love it. All albums should just have 8 songs on it. Love gangland and invaders too even though our stevie harris hates em. Everything else is just a banger

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jun 01 2026

Gonna upset some people here. Beyond tiny dancer the rest is a bit forgetable. Very much a greatest hits man for me

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jun 02 2026

Its a bit uncool to like foos these days. However, arguably the first four songs are really good. Weenie beenie coulda been on in utero. Ill never forgive dave for blowing it with melissa auf der maur though so i can never respect him, the tosser

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jun 04 2026

Is a classic. Lee ronaldo was always an influence on me guitar playing when i was a young lad. I do prefer other sonic youth records. First 7 songs are great however but i do think this one is a bit long like

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Jun 05 2026

Beyond like a prayer is they any need. Unexpected prince gave it a 2

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jun 08 2026

I quite liked this. Solid pop bangers. Our lips are sealed is great. How much more sounded like “i want the one incant have” to my ears.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 09 2026

Not my cuppa but clearly objectively good. “You know im no good” lyrics are great. Shoulda said “and sniffed me out like I was takeaway” though as i would have found that far more relatable. Rhyming door with roger moore is also a fantastic rhyme.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jun 11 2026

I hated everything about this

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jun 16 2026

As far as metal goes its probably as good as it gets. Took me back to being 15. Orion is great innit. I still prefer kill em all however

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jun 17 2026

Unlistenable nonsense

Arular by M.I.A.
Jun 19 2026

Thought it was well crap

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jun 22 2026

Yeah arguably great but just not for me. Clearly not as good as back to black. Can see shes still finding her feet

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Jun 23 2026

Yeah this was proper good. Love that all the songs blend into eachother. The first like 6 songs are great. Some proper sweetness from nina with the occasional punky bite. Step on me is a bit pavementy in places. And bloody lovefool is a perfect song aint it.

Jun 24 2026

Found it a bit crap beyond kinky afro and step on. Like a bad indie band. Can ya stick to the weird dance inspired stuff please. Gets a 3 just because step on is ridiculously good

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jun 26 2026

Yeah this was great. You gotta listen to it in the right context, i was doing a lovely sunday afternoon in the sun pulling some weeds out me garden. Enjoyable. Not as good as blue

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jun 29 2026

Classic but not their best. Rikki is amazing. The song pretzel logic is class. WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE SHOES?? I dunno but i wanna know

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jun 30 2026

Second song got me

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jul 01 2026

Grand yet every song pretty much sounds the same. Uneventful

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jul 03 2026

That was a trip. Cant imagine ill revisit anytime soon but was certainly not what i expected

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 06 2026

Dunno what everyone else was listening too cos this was amazing.

Tommy by The Who
Jul 07 2026

I cant stand up their own arse who. I like their early 60s stuff ( A quick one is miles better concept album type who) but as soon as he started swinging his microphone around giving it the rock star big ones i lose interest

Vulnicura by Björk
Jul 08 2026

I do like bjork but cant see why this is on here. One for bjork fans, not for joe public. Nowhere near as good as her other albums either - but indeed very beautiful stuff if ya already like bjork

The Cars by The Cars
Jul 09 2026

DUNG GER DUN… YOU GAVE ME JUST WHAT I NEEDED (just what i needed…)

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jul 13 2026
Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jul 14 2026

I like this. I dunno what i like about it especially, but very easy listening

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 15 2026

00:15 into around the world - WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Its a shame it only lasts 10 seconds cos it just gets worse from then on.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jul 16 2026

Everyone likes nirvana dont they. The hits are massively overplayed but enjoyable, drain you is still class etc.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jul 20 2026

Is a classic aint it. Best 90s album by a British band? Could very well be

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jul 21 2026

Aqualung and locomotive breath are fantastic. A very good 3

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Jul 22 2026

I like the nuttiness of this. Kind of get a weird tame impala-ness about it, especially the drums. Sounds like he recorded it in his bedroom

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 24 2026

Easily their best , especially if you combine it with come on pilgrim. Its in my top 30 albums somewhere

Jul 29 2026

I dont really think you need any fatboy slim beyond youve come a long way baby. Pretty much of its time and rather repetive. Need some E’s and it to be 1996 i reckon to truly appreciate it

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jul 30 2026

Kiddy fiddler

Pink Flag by Wire
Jul 31 2026

An inspirational band that inspired aload of shite

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Aug 03 2026

Couldnt be arsed with this one

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Aug 04 2026

Certainly not me fave but some crackers. Since ive been loving you is a top 5 song i reckon. Tangerine is very pretty. Could give or take immigrant song

Odelay by Beck
Aug 11 2026

Some bangers here. The singles are great. Gets a bit lost near the end

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Aug 14 2026

Takes me right back to being 15 this. Think every song is a banger. And wake ups great. Was on the bloody matrix wannit. FREEEEEDOOOOMMMM! YYYYEEEAAAAAAHHH!
