That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Some great tracks: Shining Star Happy Feelin' (has such a great breakdown with a lovely bassline) Africano But I'm not a fan of some of the slower ones...

The World is a Ghetto

War

2/5

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

Not an album I would seek out to listen to again but some catchy tracks - I just prefer more energy in my sounds...

The Joshua Tree

5/5

A monster of an album - I'm not a great fan of U2's later stuff but this is a classic.

Led Zeppelin IV

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

1/5

Stylish one trick pony that leaves me cold after the first track.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

3 stars and only because I love Paint It Black so much. When they're good, they're really good, when they're bad they're awful!

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

I could listen to some of these tracks and never tire; Breathe is a timeless masterpiece that is so evocative my words can't do it justice. While it has a lull in the second half it finishes strongly with Eclipse. Visionary work that deserves its hype.

The Clash

The Number Of The Beast

I think Satan will be disappointed to find out that his number is actually a 2.

Only By The Night

Kings of Leon

They sound good but I much preferred the lowfi sounds of Youth and Young Manhood

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

It was better when Keith wasn't singing. There I've said it and you can't make me take it back. It feels mean to give this only 3 stars as it has 3 iconic tracks but the rest of it is average at best. Oh f*ck it, it can have 4 stars, I'm feeling generous

The Rise & Fall

Madness

3/5

Brilliant and tedious, mainly tedious.

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

Each song sounds like the long winded intro to an indie track repeated 22 times

We Are Family

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

2/5

Eurgh, this is why i dont rate Bowie in album form. 2 stars but only because of that Stones cover and the fact he managed to drop the lyric "Time! Flexing like a whore, falls wanking to the floor" which made me lol

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

This one passed me by at the time despite being the kind of thing I'd have listened to. (Perhaps more popular in the US than UK?) I'm really not sure what to make of it, it needs at least a couple more listens before I decide. Giving it 3 but it could be a 2 or a 4 with time!

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

The sound is definitely of its age now but, leaving aside the covers, the Beatles really knew how to write great pop songs.

My Generation
