A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

3/5

Somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3. Some of it was okay but generally meh.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

Horny teenager music (or rather, music for middle-aged people to remember when they were horny teenagers) . Over-the-top and entertaining.

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

2/5

Okay, but not my jam.

Pornography

The Cure

3/5

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

Great album. Maybe 4.5?

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

2/5

Weird old white people (men, likely) music. I liked "Wondr'ing Aloud." On the fence about the flute. No thank you to long interviews. 2.5

Metallica

5/5

I mean...

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

2/5

Somewhat Devo derivative, some SpongeBob robot episode? Liked The Model song. 2.5?

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

3/5

Liked generally. There were a few weird cheesy songs.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Typical traditional Christmas album. Some lovely voices. Phil Spector at the end is creepy. 3.5

Arrival

ABBA

5/5

Even the bad ones are pretty good.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

3/5

A few fabulous songs and a lot of filler.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

This was okay. A few songs I enjoyed.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

2/5

Last two tracks are a little more melodic and tolerable, but generally hated this and it made me feel angry and agitated.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

3/5

I liked some songs, but not something I'd listen to.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

2/5

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Some fabulous songs! Overall great!

Soul Mining

The The

3/5

This was okay. One great song.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

I hate when songs have long instrumental endings or solos that drag on. Hayes's voice is like butter.

808 State

2/5

Interesting, but not to my taste.

Rising Above Bedlam

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

2/5

Not to my taste. The couple songs with Sinead O'Connor were the best. Would give a 2.5 if I could

Pyromania

Def Leppard

3/5

Not my kind of music, but thought it was overall good.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

3/5

Enjoyed this. Would prefer to listen to songs individually rather than the whole album at once.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

5/5

So many amazing, iconic songs!

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Christine McVie’s songs the only bad ones. This album is one of the best albums ever. Silver Springs should have been included on the original album.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

3/5

Some songs I enjoyed on here. I hate talking on tracks.

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

2/5

This was okay, but not something I would ever want to listen to again if given a choice.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

Some great, memorable songs. Sexist, yes. Fun, also yes. Would definitely happily listen to.

Lost Souls

Doves

3/5

Pretty good. I really enjoyed some of the songs. Would listen to this again. Not crazy about the instrumental, synthesizer stuff.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

Hmm. Some okay songs, and one amazing song. Ideally I could give this a 3.5. I would listen to this album if it came on, but wouldn't make an effort to look for it.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

3/5

Good overall. A couple of bangers. Many of the songs sound similar to me.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

4/5

Quite enjoyed this. Made me feel like I was on vacation somewhere instead of in this winter hellscape. Fun album.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

2/5

Too many boring instrumental parts. Sounds like the Cure, minus the cheekiness and catchy melodies.

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

3/5

Traffic

3/5

A couple of good songs. Some terrible songs.

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

3/5

I liked this.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

One amazing song. Some okay ones.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

2/5

Disappointingly boring.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Neil's voice isn't my favourite, but he's an amazing songwriter.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

One of my favourite albums ever.

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

1/5

I really don't like this. Some of the songs were super annoying--equivalent to someone repeatedly poking you, but doing it loudly and as obnoxiously as possible.

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

4/5

Overall, very enjoyable with a couple bangers!

White Denim

3/5

I liked a few songs, the others were meh.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

A kickass album. A couple of songs are too loud for my old ears now, but overall very enjoyable. 4.5

Done By The Forces Of Nature
