The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Haven't listened to it for ages, and still sounds great. Clasdic

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

3/5

Beautifully recorded and mixed with great harmonies, but ultimately didn't grab me.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

The stripped back music, just voice, guitar and harmonica force you to focus on the lyrics and they still resonate hard decades later. An amazing album

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

A live album, sounds like the band had a great time, me not so much.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

5/5

Great album that till sounds fresh and relevant nearly 50 years on. You can hear echoes of the songs in modern music still.

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

Innovative, emotional and worth the entry for the title track alone.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

Breathes new life and emotion into songs I have heard too many times before. Fragile, poised and beautiful. Moved me to tears.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

The brass section were always a highlight of Dexys and they are at there best in some songs here. Some truly great numbers, trouble is it loses it's way towards meh in the second half only to be rescued by the "even though I have heard it too many times" come on Eileen, that stands out. Some great songs, just not enough.

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

2/5

Good singles, bad rest of album.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

Sublime pop with razor sharp lyrics. Great song follows great song. Deserved of its consideration as a classic.

No Other

Gene Clark

1/5

Oh dear, just not very good.

Black Metal

Venom

2/5

Given this was 1983, I can hear echoes of its influences in industrial, grunge and various forms of metal from the late 80s and beyond. Still not my thing though.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

2/5

Not sure why this was on the list

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

I so wanted to like this, and had great expectations. It just didn't hit the spot.

Throwing Muses

2/5

Ray Of Light

Madonna

3/5

Good singles, lots of filler.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

Expected to hate this, but liked its idiosyncratic 60s folk pop rock.

John Prine

4/5

Surprisingly likeable for a country album

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

Beautiful

Lost Souls

Doves

5/5

Loved this when it was released and it has aged surprisingly well. There are some weaker songs on here, but that's only because they nestle amongst some great tracks.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

4/5

Didn't expect to like this, but is melodic, emotive and easy to like.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

1/5

Just boring and dull.

Smash
