2/5

This is clearly rubbish, but it was so over the top and daft I found myself quite enjoying myself.

Not really my bag - it builds and builds but never goes anywhere

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

It's pleasant enough

Crosby, Stills & Nash

I much prefer the legend of the Smile sessions to this album

Some great slide guitar on here, would listen again

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

I probably hadn't listened to this for 15 years and had forgotten how good it was (side one especially)

Led Zeppelin

3/5

My least favourite of their first 4, but still has some great moments

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

I love this album

A classic. I feel like half of my record collection wouldn't exist with Murder Mystery or What Goes On...

Live / Dead

Grateful Dead

1/5

Turgid

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

2/5

I preferred this to Smile. Not really my bag, but not unpleasant. Dreamer was my highlight

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

2/5

This was new to me. A bit bland on first listen (like Prefab Sprout without the tunes!) but enjoyed it more second time round. Heatwave was my standout track

The Yes Album

Yes

It's always a pleasure to stick this on

Meat Loaf

1/5

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

4/5

I have a massive soft spot for the Drude, and this is one of his best. Safesurfer is a long time favourite

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

3/5

It's a good not great album but the highlights (Burning Wheel and Kowalski for example) are genius

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

4/5

A national treasure. Amongst strong competition, this might be my favourite of her albums

Pink Floyd

2/5

Killing Joke

3/5

Lovely stuff

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

3/5

A classic

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Home to one of the best one-note guitar solos of all time. One of NY's best

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

4/5

Sublime

Adele

1/5

This was a real slog for me. So depressing I couldn't get through more than a track or two before turning it off. A thoroughly miserable 48 minutes

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

Still sounds great. Beautiful and menacing in equal measure

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

2/5

Dense and soupy. I think I would have to live with this album for a long time for it to fully click.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

3/5

The start of the greatest run of albums in history?

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

2/5

I am sure one day I will grow to love Steely Dan, but today wasn't that day.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

New to me, I enjoyed this.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

3/5

The Who at their most bonkers, good fun and I Can See For Miles is an absolute tune.

Snivilisation

Orbital

4/5

This was new to me. Thoroughly enjoyed it, Crash & Carry, Kein Trink Wasser and Are We Here? all superb

Iron Maiden

1/5

Not one I'll be listening to again

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

2/5

Jump Into The Fire is an absolute banger which deserves to be played loud

2/5

I actually enjoyed this more than I expected to, the first half especially

Goo

Sonic Youth

4/5

Love this, side 1 in particular

Songs From The Big Chair

All of the worst 80s pop stereotypes in one place. Everybody Wants To Rule The World is the best thing here

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

1/5

Elevator music

Raw Power

The Stooges

3/5

Great stuff. Search and Destroy still blows me away every time

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

2/5

Good concept but I found the songs pretty forgettable

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

10 year old me would have confidently told you this album was the pinnacle of human achievement. I must have listened to it 1000s of times back then. Pure nostalgia.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

2/5

Enjoyed this, perfect for a Sunday morning

The Stranger

Billy Joel

This wasn't as bad as I expected, and I actually quite enjoyed the first couple of tracks before the schmaltz took over

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

I love this album

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

I'd never listened to the full album before (though There She Goes, My Beautiful World was played at my wedding). Absolutely loved it, too many favourites to list.

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

2/5

It's overly long, but there's a few bangers on here

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

3/5

Lovely stuff.

Bad

Michael Jackson

1/5

Ronseal. (but I do still have a soft spot for Smooth Criminal)
