Queen II

Queen

3/5

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

Not usually one for jazz, but this was pretty good. A mix of jamming and more Andalusian feeling music. By the last track I was a bit done but I could see the value

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

Country is not necessarily my thing. But I really enjoyed the slower, calmer country. I felt like I was sitting being serenaded by a campfire or slow mo montage on a horse back home to my family.

Ten

Pearl Jam

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

3/5

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

2/5

I can see why people like this. I however felt it was rambling and a bit much. It felt like I'd stumbled into a collection of drunks, drowning their sorrows in a bar. Not my vibe

4/5

Jazz is not my vibe but I felt like a cool cat

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

Some great songs on here but other than the songs you definitely know, it doesn't feel anything exceptional

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

4/5

Weird, but enjoyable. Loved the strange radio song

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Common

4/5

Me Against The World

2Pac

3/5

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

2/5

Track 1: Phaedra wavers between Dune and I Who Have Never Known Men Track 2: Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares is like I'm being pulled through a worm hole Track 3: Movements of a Visionary feels like I'm trapped in a computer doing a disk defragmentation Track 4: Sequence C feels more ecclesiastical like I'm in a space cathedral I can understand why people hate it. I don't hate it. But I'm not fussed if I never hear it again

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Felt like it wanted to be Bruce Springsteen but less successful. Some big gits but lots of just okay

#1 Record

Big Star

5/5

It's 70s and it just works, it felt cohesive and catchy and I'm annoyed I've only just discovered this

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Some big hits and a very certain vibe - this isn't an album held up by the 2 songs we all know

Urban Hymns

The Verve

5/5

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

5/5

It's camp. It's cheesy. It references Xanadu and the then Prince Charles. It contains Relax, Two Tribes and, in my opinion, the best Christmas song ever, The Power of Love

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

1/5

Who keeps allowing Tom Waits to make albums and who keeps allowing him on this list

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest
