Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

5/5

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

5/5

Loved it. I only knew Pink Moon and thought Drake was a slightly overrated singer songwriter. This album was rich and varied

Beautiful Freak

Eels

4/5

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

I am a big Neil Young fan. This is him and Crazy Horse in optima forma. Ranging from small, intimate songs to full on grunge, angrily slapping the guitar heavy on distortion. This band was versatile. The opening en the ending versions of My My Hey Hey capture this perfectly. I would recommend listening to Live Rust though. It is Live Rust, but contains more tracks including a couple of absolute classics.

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

I get the cultural impact and it has some great songs, but a lot of this album is just noise.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

I didn’t know a single song before listening. I like that it was less pop than the Pet Shop Boys I knew and realised it sounded more like Depeche Mode. Honestly, just listen to Depeche Mode for a superior sound

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

4/5

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Talvin Singh

2/5

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

3/5

Catchy tunes, but nothing memorable

Adele

4/5

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

3/5

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

2/5

To be honest, the album got a bit boring. No goor listening if you’re not in a club setting

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

4/5

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

3/5

Started with a couple of bangers, bit Adamson lost me halfway through. Nick Cave saved the day at the end

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

Elton John is known for the wrong songs. This album is one banger after another

The Modern Lovers

4/5

If The Velvet Underground and The Doors had a lovechild who grew up to be an angsty teenager

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

This is prime Rolling Stones. Ending the sixties with a banger

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

3/5

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

2/5

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Ananda Shankar

2/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

4/5

I knew the hits, but never listened to the whole album. It’s surprisingly good.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

3/5

Either Or

Elliott Smith

2/5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

2/5

NEU! 75

Neu!

2/5

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

3/5

Play

Moby

3/5

The album has a couple of well known bangers, but all in all it felt a bit subdued? Monotonous maybe. It didn’t live up to its reputation

World Clique

Deee-Lite

2/5

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

2/5

Black Sabbath

3/5

Black Sabbath was still looking for their sound, they found it on their second album. Still, it had hints of the great music to come

With The Beatles

Beatles

2/5

This is a weak Beatles album. Covers and mostly forgettable songs. Please please me would eank higher for being their debut and on A Hard Days Night the hit machine started to roll. Sandwiched between these two, With the Beatles is forgettable and an unnecesary inclusion in this list

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

3/5

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

I am a bit biased. I was born in 1981 and The Prodigy was very much part of the soundtrack of my formative years. I hadn’t listened to the album as a whole in ages and it was a blast to hear it again. I was going to give the album five stars, but on an honest relistening, soms songs felt like fillers and some tunes got repetitive. Still, take me back to a nineties party and I will dance to The Prodigy all night
