To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

1/5

Absolutely not my style. Was difficult to listen to.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

Perhaps one of my favourite albums, there's not many weak points. Absolute bangers from start to finish!

Metallica

5/5

My entry point into Metallica. Brilliant album, these songs are constantly on my playlists 😍

Mothership Connection

Parliament

3/5

It's alright. The one song everyone knows is good, it has a decent vibe even though it's a bit too weird in parts.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

A solid early album from one of my favourite bands. More pop focused than their mid career catalogue, not my favourite but pretty decent.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Classic Sinatra. Consistent all the way through, man's got a vibe. Was a very enjoyable car ride listening to it!

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

2/5

I've never been a massive Hendrix fan. This didn't do it for me. It feels like a product of its time TBH. Bit disappointed.

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

1/5

I can absolutely say with 100% certainty I hated this to the point of irritation. Absolutely could have died without hearing this.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

I was surprised by this, it's very different to what I imagined the Beach Boys to sound in my head. I quite liked it.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

Was ok. The one song I liked but the others didn't grab me.

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

3/5

I get why this album is important, but coming into this for the first time now means it's lost it's magic USP. I can definitely hear where modern female rockstars got their influences from though!

Queens of the Stone Age

Queens Of The Stone Age

2/5

Meh. I'm sure it was great when it came out but it didn't grab me then and it's doesn't now either.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Oh bloody hell yes! What an awesome album! Love it from start to finish. Any day with the Beatles is a good day.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

It was ok. Didn't really blow me away but I'm not a massive fan of this band.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

5/5

This is one of my favourite albums! A brilliant rock album from a troubled band. Some amazing songs on here!

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

2/5

It was ok I guess? Not their best album, not a style of music I dig really either.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

2/5

Pleasant folk music. I can see why Bob Dylan liked him.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

2/5

Again, it's alright I guess? Not my kind of music

Joan Armatrading

2/5

It was decent but not my kind of music

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

3/5

Short. Sweet. High energy. Solid punk. Loved it.

Aja

Steely Dan

2/5

Background Yacht Rock. I felt like I was in a shop or an elevator. Boring AF.

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

4/5

This is bloody good. Loved it. Proper rock music.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

He sounds like Seal! Happy music, I liked it!

Back In Black

AC/DC

5/5

Oh yes. One of my favourite albums. Not their best one but it's soo good. Every song is worth a listen here.

Goo

Sonic Youth

3/5

I dig it. A bit too Avant Garde but fun.

The Band

2/5

Too mellow for me.

Live At Leeds

The Who

2/5

Hmm. Bit disappointing from a band I like.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

1/5

Cheap eurotrash electronic music that sounds like a teenager got his first synthesiser. Really difficult to listen to. The music is jarring like nails on a chalkboard and the lyrics nonsensical. I couldn't connect with this in any way.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

5/5

Oh thank god for that. I was about to give up on this project so I needed this. Such an amazing album. There's no bad songs. Money for nothing is such a jam, walk of life loads of fun, and the haunting melancholy of the title track is such an amazing way to close the album!

The Stone Roses

3/5

Pretty decent album, I can see where britpop got its roots from (especially Oasis). Well worthy of the list.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

It's a great album, the title track being one of my all time favourites!

Da Capo

Love

2/5

Okayish 60s pop rock.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

2/5

Elevator music. Not my taste.

Stankonia

OutKast

3/5

Aww fuck yeah. Perfect for a Friday. The beats slap, it's chonky hip hop goodness.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Just amazing. A brilliant band at their peak. Always a treat to listen to.

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Jesus Christ on a bike no. I almost fell asleep listening to this.

Pyromania

Def Leppard

4/5

Aww this is an amazing album, I absolutely love it and how much fun it is to listen to!

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

4/5

Love this album. Classic 80s synth pop. My staple. Timeless and beautiful.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Aww yeah. It's not Mellon Collie but it's so good!

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

2/5

It's very staple soul and funk. Nothing special.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

Considering their first few albums are a party, this feels like a hangover. Probably why when I was younger they weren't on the radio much.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

Great album, a couple of absolute bangers and the flow is perfect.

Joanna Newsom

1/5

Jesus Christ this was bad. Just boring as fuck.

Paul Simon

3/5

Pleasant. Better than I thought it would be.

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

3/5

My dad has this one. I love Cars. Never understood why he's looking suspiciously at that glowing rer pyramid though. Dark moody synths. Where's your head at? Very gothic 😍

Throwing Muses

3/5

Seems ahead of its time but as I'm new to this I can't appreciate it as much as I would have back when it was released. But I was too small in 1986 to appreciate this anyway.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

Oh yes. Love this artist 😍 Great mix of soul tunes, love this ❤️

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

It was interesting. Not spectacular, I prefer their earlier stuff. Struggling to see why I needed to hear this before I died?

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

3/5

Oh a nice change. Love this kind of music!
