The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters · 1 likes

3/5

Foo Fighters kind of missed me when I was getting into music, they were big for a lot of school friends but I was into a different genre. Knowing that this was their first album shortly about Cobain's death, it makes sense but there isn't really a big single in there for me. Cool to listen to considering the context though, would definitely like to try more Foo in the future

We Are Family

5/5

Amazing, so many added to my liked songs. What an album, only wished it was longer lol

All Ratings

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

More amazing songs on here than I realised

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

This really didn't feel like any Prince I'd heard before, then I realised it was his ninth album? Very different, had elements I like but not sure it's one I'll listen to often

Tommy

The Who

4/5

Interesting, another one I'd heard before but nothing new stood out. Always liked the rock opera album and a couple songs I hadn't listened to in years

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

Knew Sunshine of your love pretty well but haven't explored the album, the only song that really hit me though on this was the Ulysses one? Good to explore, probably my least favourite so far though

Foo Fighters

3/5

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

It's hard for me to listen to Reggae stuff because it was on all the time growing up and I wasn't a fan. This album however has some great riffs and showed me a different side, especially as again, only know the real big hits from Bob Marley. Fun listen, probably won't be regular though

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

3/5

So I'd never heard of Joni Mitchell? Interesting to read about her, not my kind of album but I liked how different this was to everything else I'd been recommended so far! Good for a history lesson

The Coral

3/5

Good option today, mostly due to knowing Dreaming of You really well so it was cool to listen to the rest of the album. Wasn't any other highlights for me there right now but I'll listen again for sure

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

I've heard many jazz songs or jazz-inspired songs, but not listened to an album like this, especially during that era. Really interesting to listen to, especially after reading the wiki about Duke. Need to listen to again when I'm feeling it more

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

4/5

Fun album, basically a whole album dedicated to baby maker songs?

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

This was 70s dude, definitely need to listen to this again

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

Great album, so much nostalgia for me in this! Lots of great nights out lol. Some songs I hadn't heard in years, need to go through and save some

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

Good to educate myself on lots of little bits id heard before but not known it was from this album?

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

4/5

Interesting album, short but very listenable, really gave a vibe of like noire style detective music? I will listen to it again for sure

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Heard a few covers in my time of these songs, some had a Beatles vibe that I genuinely thought was from them? Good to learn about

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

2/5

This didn't quite get me hooked on anything? Interesting to listen to, nice vibe, but like no song in there I was like "I have to get that in my liked songs!" which is a shame

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

4/5

Had some real Rush vibes which I loved? Honestly cool album, different, not what I pictured with Genesis?

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

2/5

Meatloaf is not for me lol. Looooong songs, a bit same-y? Veeeery sexual. There was a couple I quite liked though

Low-Life

New Order

2/5

Didn't know anything about New Order, still probably don't tbh, didn't have any standouts for me sadly! Listened to the whole thing though, wasn't unpleasant lol

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

Fun to listen to! Not as big as Ziggy for me but some songs here I know and like!

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

4/5

I'm really enjoying this album? It's proper classic English, chill listening with some real funk and rock elements in it? Super addictive, one of my favourite discoveries so far

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

2/5

I've always had this pop up on my recommended but not really fully listened to it? I love AM but unfortunately this wasn't it for me? Rhythms are so similar between each song and AT doesn't do enough to interest me on vocals. Real shame!

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

God yes finally my first 5 star! This album is probably one of my most listened to for a good number of years, it was instrumental I think in my transition to slower genres of rock and indie. This was also the album that got me into The Black Keys. I absolutely love it and every track is brilliant! So good to listen to it again after a good while

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Blondie had soooo many bangers all in the same album!

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Really surprised me, it had an early Bob Dylan vibe to it? Nebraska was such a good song! I honestly really was shocked, loved it

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

Really varied voice and vibe range, never listened to the Doors before

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Sooo many good songs I never knew were tears for fears in this! Everybody wants to rule the world instantly went on my likes, what a song. Really enjoyed this one

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

4/5

This is going to need multiple listens, but I was pretty blown away with the lyrical writing. I'm not sure I've listened to Leonard Cohen before? But it was a big surprise tbh. Definitely going to have a few more listen throughs, really good recommendation

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

Was interesting to read about, but no headline Radiohead songs for me here? And I loved Radiohead back in my late teens and early 20s? Never listened to that album though, fun to try out!

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

Biggest highlight for me with this album, the bassist? I definitely need to look up who did bass for Duran Duran! Fun to listen to

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Never heard The Rolling Stones first album? Beatles vibes for sure, fun to listen to! Also, the Rolling Stones wrote I Just Wanna Make Love to You?!

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

3/5

Enjoyed it more than I thought it would, definitely wasn't like the pop stereotype I thought it'd be? Interesting lyrics, instruments and vibe. There was actually a song or two in there I'd definitely listen to again

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

4/5

Soooo different and fun, loved this! More crazy punk please

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Fun one, not a vibe I'd match with what I thought the Police was like? Couple in there I need to listen to again for sure. Gave me Rush vibes?

Phrenology

The Roots

3/5

Didn't know about the Roots before this, including that they were the house band for Jimmy Fallon? Interesting again to listen to even when it's so far out of what I'd normally listen to

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

2/5

Interesting listen, especially after reading about the disappearance shortly after. Still got more to do. Manic definitely isn't my style of rock but maybe I'll discover some me songs through it

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Mr Blue Sky on this album? What an album!

Peter Gabriel 3

Peter Gabriel

2/5

Very Peter Gabriel, lots of glockenspiel, didn't really wow me

Immigrés

Youssou N'Dour

2/5

The most different thing I've listened to so far on this list, good different for sure. Enriching but not something I'm going to come back to regularly sadly!

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

5/5

Omg this album was sooo good, it had so much nostalgia of tracks I've absolutely heard back in the day. Multiple ones added to my likes list. So good!

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

5/5

Amazing, so many added to my liked songs. What an album, only wished it was longer lol

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

Great vibe, very soul and funky. Something I could definitely get in the mood for every now and then!

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Lots of songs I've loved on here for years but I've never listened to the whole album? So good and so good to remind myself of PJ!

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

Loved this album since I was like 15? So good to hear it again after so long and add some liked songs too!

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

3/5

Haven't listened to it enough yet but pretty fun, different rock for sure?

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

3/5

Knackered after big trip and tattoos but I will definitely listen to this soon! I'm gonna give it like what I think I'd rate it against Tommy I guess?

Kenya

Machito

3/5

Honestly could be a great movie soundtrack? Need to listen more to detect the afro-cuban inspirations but it's great Jazz!

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Always a great album, amazing songs, just need to listen to it more to hear the less well-known ones

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

Haven't listened to yet due to holidays, super interested though I do like a few well known otis redding songs!

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

3/5

This album goes hard lol, I probably haven't understood a big number of the references, cool to listen to a Public Enemy album though and hear songs from Flavor Flav

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

Not any of the bigger songs I know from BD in here but a good listen

The Undertones

3/5

Many great classics on this one, what a great first album!

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

3/5

To be listened to

Close To The Edge
