Brilliant album - really my kind of thing. Sweet Virginia is my song of the album with Let It Loose and Tumbling Dice being other highlights. My favourite first listen was Loving Cup

Inoffensive and pretty dated but I vibed with most of it, however it's an album I'll only listen to because of this. It's Too Late was my fav song of the album plus my fav first time listen

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Love Simon & Garfunkel but this didn't click with me. Homeward Bound was my song of the album (and best first listen) with For My Emily, Wherever I May Find Her being my honourable mention. Nothing really stood out to me, all very well written songs, but I'm looking for more than clever lyrics

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

Fucking adore George Harrison and this album. So glad this challenge got me round to checking it out. My Sweet Lord has been one of my favourite songs for who knows how long so that's my pick for song of the album. What Is Life and If Not For You were other highlights of the album with Let It Down being my favourite first listen. Actually just a flawless album

Really awesome, relaxing, melancholy album. Loved the music with Drive being my song of the album (and best first listen), with Man On The Moon and Find The River being other highlights

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

2/5

Found this pretty irritating, Stephen Malkmus' voice was the main annoyance but it was just noise for a lot of the album, not music. Enjoyed Summer Babe, which was my song of the album and best first listen and Here was also a solid listen but nah, didn't enjoy this

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

Venom

2/5

Don't know how to review this, there's a lot I dislike but also some great songs, and I'm aware how influential it was. Bursting Out was my song of the album and best first listen with Don't Burn The Witch and Buried Alive being other highlights. I like too much of it for it to be 2 stars but I can't rate it any higher

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

Liked a fair bit on this album, but also there was a lot that I didn't like, finding Young's voice whiny and the music too disjointed at times, but did like a lot on this. Speakin' Out was my fav song of the album and fav first listen with Lookout Joe and Tired Eyes being my other highlights

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

2/5

Not really keen on this lo-fi style and still don't know how to feel about Liz's voice after listening to 18 of her songs. I understand its importance and themes but it's not my thing. Never Said was my fav song and first listen of the album

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

1/5

Honestly quite a bad album, and the music I'd consider competent just was not my thing, too minimalist at times, way too repetitive, pretty boring and a lot of the time irritating.

En-Tact

The Shamen

2/5

You know, I went into this wanting to like this, despite all of the negative reviews on this site, and I did like some of it, but yeah, most of it wasn't good, too long and repetitive at times, fun to be had for sure, but not good. 666 Edit was my fav song and first listen of the album with Make It Minimal and Move Any Mountain being my other highlights

Great voice, great sound, great mellow album. Love And Affection was my song of the album with Tall In The Saddle (my fav first listen) and Down To Zero being my other highlights

Out of Step

Minor Threat

1/5

As somebody already wrote on here: I get it, but I don't like it. That perfectly sums up my feelings towards this. I hate disregarding music as just 'noise' but to me, that's all I got from this: loud noise.

On The Beach

Neil Young

Still not too fond of Young's voice but found it worked in most songs here. Ended up quite liking this. Walk On was my fav song and first listen of the album with Motion Pictures (For Carrie) and Ambulance Blues being my other highlights
