Funeral

5/5

What a album. A wall of sound. A fantastic debut. Awesome live band too. Sadly diminishing returns of late and Win being a sleaze bag have ruined a once great band.

Violator

Depeche Mode · 1 likes

5/5

A classic. A dark synth stunner. An album that has been with me since I was 14 or 15. It's a lifer.

Well, this knocked my socks off. How I've managed not to hear this before I have no idea!

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Excellent.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

5/5

A classic. But why, on theUS version, the Farley mix of Come Together? The Weatherall remix is superior! Excellent cover art too

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

What a voice. A record that should be in every collection.

Dust

Screaming Trees

3/5

The grungiest of grunge. Where Alice in Chains got their ideas from? What a voice, which only got better with age.

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

A stone cold classic.

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

3/5

Smooth. Late night whiskey drinking music.

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

1/5

…Baby One More Time is a fine pop song and is the highlight of the album. It’s downhill from there…. Soda Pop is criminal and how do you make a cover of The Beat Goes On so bad. Utter bobbins.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

Very solid album. Holds up well. Very listenable. Some great MCs

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Great album. Holds up really well after 30 years.

Van Halen

3/5

My first time knowingly listening to a VH album. Sounds like someone wanted to be Black Sabbath and ended up inventing Hair Metal I bet every 16 year old boy loved them. The RHCP of their day. FUN but that Kinks cover and the Ice Cream song can do one.

Roots

Sepultura

3/5

Hard. Needed a few listens to work through the layers.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Some great tracks here. Feels like it could be split up into 3 different albums. Heroes is a excellent whopper of track but makes the album feel unbalanced. Particularly along side the second half of the album.

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

4/5

The BBs ticking all the boxes. Tight little album.

Gold

Ryan Adams

3/5

Ugh, my first RA album back in the day. It's fine but he's a awful turd. 💩 out of 5

Funeral

Arcade Fire

5/5

What a album. A wall of sound. A fantastic debut. Awesome live band too. Sadly diminishing returns of late and Win being a sleaze bag have ruined a once great band.

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

A classic. A dark synth stunner. An album that has been with me since I was 14 or 15. It's a lifer.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Smoooth. Very listenable. 70 years later it holds up incredibly well.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

Slick debut album but…. too much going on. Lots of bells and whistles, possibly too many. Tightrope is a massive ear worm. A very talented musician/show person. On my “must see live” list.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

UK VERSION - Fine. First line of the first song is....“What a drag it is getting old” It’s my birthday today. 3/5 US VERSION - Bumped up a star for Paint it Black. 4/5

Solid Air

John Martyn

5/5

More like Solid Gold.... One of the best.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

5/5

My favorite TH album at the moment. Peak TH IMO

Elvis Presley

4/5

Fun Rock'n Roll album. You only need one Elvis album in your life and it’s this one. One point for the cover which is a classic.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

2/5

Weak sauce here. Weird choice for the list. Definitely better electronic albums out there. One good song Hey You... even that sounds tired after 27 years. Bonus point for having Nik Kershaw on a track.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

🤘🤘🤘🤘 Repeat Play 4/1/2026

Pump

Aerosmith

3/5

2.5 rounded up to a 3 for the big singles.

A stone cold classic. My number one top album of all time.

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

3/5

Fine. I prefer less rawk in my prog.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

4/5

Excellent choice for Easter Sunday 🤘🤘🤘 Fun.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

I was expecting to dislike this. Judging the cover I thought I was going to get bloated Vegas Elvis. Turns out this is an enjoyable country soul album. Two classic tunes in The Ghetto & Suspicious MInds push the final score from 2.5. to a 3.

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

5/5

Pretty much part of me at this stage. I know this album too well!

Feast of Wire

Calexico

4/5

Good solid album.

Skylarking

XTC

2/5

This is very English! All over the place. Horrible 80's production. Yet I can hear so many bands that took inspiration from this sound. Field Music, Jellyfish, The Decemberists and Ben Folds Five for example.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

Lovely.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

5/5

Perfection. Gets better with age.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

4/5

A claustrophobic, intense album. I've grown to love this album over the years. Definitely not a album I need to listen to all the time but I appreciate it a little bit more every time. My intro to John Prine too even though I didn’t realize that at the time.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

The indie/alt Beatles/Stones. A fun listen. Very English.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

3/5

I See A Darkness

Bonnie "Prince" Billy

3/5

It’s fine. I liked this more than I was expecting to given my previous attempts with BPB. I could see myself coming around to this album more in future. I just to be in the right mood. ☹️ 2.5 rounded up to 3 for the cover art.

The Band
