Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

The final side is unnecessary. The first three sides are phenomenal.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

Very dodgy middle but brilliant maximalist pop either side

Disintegration

The Cure

3/5

The faster songs are brilliant, dreamy new ordery style. The slow ones are like mud.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Obvs

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

All Directions

The Temptations

Common

4/5

Surprisingly good

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

5/5

High Violet

The National

3/5

Awash with sound but it's only when the band pick up the tempo and create a sense of urgency that it really delivers

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS IF IT'S LIGHT OUTSIDE. This album made no sense to me, in fact I found Nick Cave to be quite boring until I went out into the wet and windy night. As soon as I stepped out, this became a rich and rewarding listen. Dark music for dark times.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

1/5

Demonstrably awful

Scum

Napalm Death

3/5

So not my bag but three stars for effort. 28 songs in 33 mins.

Gorillaz

2/5

Disappointed I didn't like this more but I just don't think I get Damon Albarn

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Not as many hits as you'd expect but still a joyous album

The Only Ones

3/5

Arular

M.I.A.

4/5

Full force kaleidoscope of sounds

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Brilliantly of it's time to the extent that the only way to fully appreciate it would be to listen whilst on an acid trip.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

4/5

Rubber Soul

Beatles

3/5

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

2/5

34 minutes of dreary music punctuated by one good song, "A Forest".

Not my bag

5/5

Brilliant. So ahead of it's time. Stella liked this one.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Possibly the best pop album ever?? Their absolute peak.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

Elvis Presley

2/5

Having never listened to an Elvis album I didn't know what the expect. What I got was a while bunch of ideas masquerading as songs. Each one undeveloped as if it didn't really matter whether the song went anywhere because that's not what he was really about.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

Really liked this, just not sure when I'd listen to it, it's so moody!

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

4/5

Mad as a box of frogs but brilliant anyway
