Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jan 26 2026

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

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 28 2026

Very dodgy middle but brilliant maximalist pop either side

Disintegration by The Cure
Jan 29 2026

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

Be by Common
Feb 04 2026

Surprisingly good

High Violet by The National
Feb 06 2026

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

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 10 2026

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.

Scum by Napalm Death
Feb 12 2026

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

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 13 2026

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

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 17 2026

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

Arular by M.I.A.
Feb 19 2026

Full force kaleidoscope of sounds

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Feb 20 2026

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.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Feb 25 2026

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

Dookie by Green Day
Mar 02 2026
Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Mar 05 2026

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

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Mar 09 2026
Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Mar 10 2026

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..... by DJ Shadow
Mar 11 2026

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

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Mar 12 2026

Mad as a box of frogs but brilliant anyway

Ctrl by SZA
Mar 19 2026
Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Mar 24 2026

Very glam, very musical/music hall

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Mar 26 2026

Sad. Really sad. Not sure why an album recorded in these circumstances and so obviously the product of someone deeply unwell (and therefore not very good at all) made it onto this list.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Apr 03 2026

Dull. Repetitive. And dull.

London Calling by The Clash
Apr 07 2026

Absolutely brilliant. Not sure how I managed to go so long without listening to this.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Apr 15 2026

Banging

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Apr 16 2026

So deeply french. Sunday mornings.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Apr 17 2026

Oh god. This has not aged well.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Apr 23 2026

Can't stand his voice

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Apr 24 2026

Cool as you'd expect from Curtis.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Apr 30 2026

Brilliant. All about the drums.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 12 2026
Odessa by Bee Gees
Jun 18 2026

There's a lot going on here. Some of it great, some of it weird.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jun 19 2026

Beautifuleven if a whole album is a bit much

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 22 2026
Ten by Pearl Jam
Jun 24 2026
Guero by Beck
