Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Jan 17 2026

Gentle and listenable, nothing musically magical or groundbreaking though.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jan 18 2026

Music to dance to. Repetitive but musicality galore, evidenced by a demo with an out of tune piano!

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jan 19 2026

I probably fall into the target audience for Radiohead, but even as a prog lover I just don't get them or the hype. Fairly "meh".

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Jan 21 2026

Not my normal genre, but plenty of meat, passion and stories that need hearing and learning from as much today as 35 years ago!

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 22 2026

"Let's sing about something different, not just the same loved up stuff others are on. What's no-one singing about? TV dinners. Let's write a song about TV dinners."

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 24 2026

Meh. Not for me.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jan 25 2026

Started well, but lost interest as it went on...

25 by Adele
Jan 27 2026

Quality voice and brilliant song writing. More than just the hits and the Bond themes.

Pump by Aerosmith
Jan 28 2026

Listenable. Like the different musical interludes.

Jan 29 2026

Sometimes there's a reasons why songs are relegated to mid album and not released as singles... On the plus side, it was over in 28 minutes.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 30 2026

Quintessential eighties. Starts and ends well, but a bit flat in the middle.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 02 2026

Meh.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Feb 03 2026

Some potential in the melodies, but just don't understand a singer who can't sing.

Metallica by Metallica
Feb 04 2026

Another solid one. No complaints.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Feb 05 2026

NFM

The Doors by The Doors
Feb 08 2026

Neither here nor there

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Feb 10 2026

It was fine... Went on a bit.

Dookie by Green Day
Feb 12 2026

Removing the nostalgia from the equation, it's average.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Feb 13 2026

By far the best Radiohead album I've heard!

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Feb 15 2026

Amazing.

Cross by Justice
Feb 16 2026

Meh

London Calling by The Clash
Feb 19 2026

Title track not the best. Was rating better until the racist cultural appropriation towards the end...

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Feb 22 2026

NFM, but fine. At least I can spell "Latifah" now...

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 23 2026

Yup.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 24 2026

4.5 stars... Not perfect, but better than most!

The Man Who by Travis
Feb 25 2026

I thought I remembered all of this album, but apparently not!

Mar 03 2026

Live is a whole different ball game. Only a pro can pull it off! Could've done with less screaming though!

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Mar 05 2026

Pleasant enough

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Mar 06 2026

Good

Moondance by Van Morrison
Mar 10 2026

More than a one hit wonder

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 20 2026

Fine

Arrival by ABBA
Mar 21 2026

Nice to hear famous ones in context...

Raw Power by The Stooges
Mar 24 2026

Forgettable but fine

Tommy by The Who
Apr 04 2026

Excited at the prospect...

Heroes by David Bowie
Apr 05 2026
S&M by Metallica
May 13 2026
Frank by Amy Winehouse
May 16 2026
Rocks by Aerosmith
May 18 2026
Junkyard by The Birthday Party
May 21 2026
Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 22 2026

Why is the worst song on the album the most popular!?

Blur by Blur
May 23 2026
Dry by PJ Harvey
May 25 2026
Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 31 2026
KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jun 09 2026
Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jun 18 2026
