D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

All Ratings

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens

Gentle and listenable, nothing musically magical or groundbreaking though.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard

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

OK Computer by Radiohead

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".

Black Holes and Revelations by Muse

To borrow a track title: Glorious.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy

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

"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."

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor by Lupe Fiasco

Inoffensive, not bad, but also not for me.

Illmatic by Nas

Meh. Not for me.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

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

All Directions by The Temptations

25 by Adele

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

Pump by Aerosmith

Listenable. Like the different musical interludes.

Your New Favourite Band by The Hives

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

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

There's No Place Like America Today by Curtis Mayfield

Really can't decide about this one. One moment I really like it, and the next I don't!

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson

Solid

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine

Meh.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan

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

Metallica by Metallica

Another solid one. No complaints.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker

NFM

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of... by Arrested Development

New (to me) gem!

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

The Doors by The Doors

Neither here nor there

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry

Nope

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie

It was fine... Went on a bit.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys

Fine

Dookie by Green Day

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

In Rainbows by Radiohead

By far the best Radiohead album I've heard!

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire

Yup

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa

Amazing.

Cross by Justice

Meh

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair

Nope. Another non-singer.

London Calling by The Clash

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

The Rise & Fall by Madness

Fine.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd) by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Enjoyable.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah

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

Imagine by John Lennon

Yup.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company

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

The Man Who by Travis

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

Born To Be With You by Dion

Meh. Uninspired to make it all the way through.

Nighthawks At The Diner by Tom Waits

Nope

In Utero by Nirvana

Meh

Like Water For Chocolate by Common

I tried, but no.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp

Very listenable.

James Brown Live At The Apollo by James Brown

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

Parallel Lines by Blondie

I'd happily listen again.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian

Pleasant enough

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl

Good

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

Fine

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen

Still no

Moondance by Van Morrison

More than a one hit wonder

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle by Throbbing Gristle

Er, big no.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne

Mediocre

Like A Prayer by Madonna

Listenable

If I Should Fall From Grace With God by The Pogues

Musically ok... Vocally...

Meh.

WTAF!? Shouldn't have listened.

Fragile by Yes

Nope
