Rage Against The Machine

5/5

This album blew my mind at first listening. It’s is in my top 60 best albums of all time and will never leave this list. Powerful, relevant political and social commentary, Tom Morello changing the guitar game for ever, great rhythm section and an incredible Zach De La Rocha spitting some of the most powerful vocals and raps hitting you between the eyes. 10/10

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

One of my all time favourite Jazz Funk albums. I covered this in highschool with my band. Timeless album!

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

Ground breaking album with some great dis tracks… shame that Snoop is now Maga…

War

3/5

I used to love U2. This was their breakthrough album however 3 great epic songs don’t make a great album…. The songs from this album sound better on “Under A Red Sky”

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

First time I have listened. Very cool. The banter is very funny considering the audience.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

One of my all time favourites. One of the greatest TripHop albums.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

I have never been a big fan of the Pet Shop Boys and this album didn’t change that

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

A very important album also for me personally, part of my soundtrack of my life, reminds me of Prince a lot…

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

I understand that this is an important album but I never got into it….

My Generation

The Who

4/5

I love The Who. One of the first bands I have ever seen. This album was released the year I was born. It features one of my all time favourite songs My Generation. Love the raw energy of the recording.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

1/5

Psychedelic 60 hippie country music with endless boring guitar solos. Not my thing….

Adele

5/5

Amazing artist, great songs, record breaking album. What is not to love?

The Joshua Tree

5/5

One of the greatest albums of all time. Outstanding songwriting and production by Eno/Lanois. The album shifted music and made U2 a stadium band for many decades.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Important album with some amazing songs however not one of my favourites.

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

4/5

OMG I love this album. I worked at Sony when the Manic Street Preachers showcased this album to the whole company in Brighton. This is their most punk rock albums, the Americans thought there were not enough guitars (WTF) and they created an American mix which didn’t make a difference… one of the most political bands around with Rage Against The Machine. Guitarist Richey Evans was still on the record and then disappeared forever…

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

4/5

Love the Cramps. One of the coolest bands ever.

Blue

4/5

Beautiful album

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

This was played a lot in my family hike when I grew up. Sentimental listening but not one of my favourites.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

5/5

I bought this record when I was at UNi when it came out and I was kind of disappointed that the band broke up when it was released. Still one of my favourite albums. I love all the Smiths records.

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Still the best Pearl Jam album amazing energy. You have a live time to write your first album and it shows. Great ideas and amazing guitars. I love how the end of the album is also the beginning of the albums which invites you to keep repeating. Amazing solos by Mike McCready.

The Colour Of Spring

Talk Talk

5/5

Amazing album. Great atmosphere, composition, instrumentation, one of my all time favourite albums, Steve Winwood on organ and Robbie McIntosh on guitar!

Savane

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

Never listened to this before. Really enjoyed it, so much fun and very diverse. Love her voice. Great production firework, however at times it felt a little overproduced…

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

5/5

One of best albums by one of the greatest Rock’n’Roll bands = 5 stars

Low-Life

New Order

5/5

Great album by New Order feat many of my favourite tracks by them like Elegia and Love Vigilantes.

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

Early Beatles albums are fun but not always a great sonic experience because of the limited 4 track ping pong recording technique.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

4/5

It features my favourite Doors song Riders in the Storm which was the first song I ever played in a band. Most of my other favourite Doors songs are on other albums however this works great as an album. I had the privilege to work with the Doors catalogue for 10 years and had dinner with the late Ray Manzarek and his brother. I also met Robbie when they toured with The Doors of the 21st century when they toured with Ian Astbury which was actually a great show.
