The Score

Fugees

4/5

Despite its ubiquity in my youth, I'm not sure I've ever properly listened to this end to end. How wonderfully referential and beautifully stripped back.

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

What a joy. I should have known it was more like Low than the title song suggests.

Is This It

The Strokes

2/5

Listened to it. I've rarely been prouder of my teenage self, who rightly concluded that this is a essentially a boring pastiche of late 70s New York Punk. There's nothing wrong with the songs and Last Nite is a good enough pop song.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

Em, I think that might have been great... It's harder work than I need first thing in the morning.

The Clash

4/5

It's obviously amazing, but saving my 5th star because this isn't London Calling

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

It's been a long time, but it is really a work of genius.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

3/5

I have neither the words not the experience to really know if this is any good. It sounds like a lot of other country from the time to me. I love 'If you want to be my woman' though. Banger.

Boston

3/5

I had always read about Queen liking Boston. Apart from that one song, I had never listened to Boston. Boston sounds like a lost early 70s Queen album.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

I was ready to give this 5 stars but it's nothing like I remember. The highs are up there, but a lot felt like filler. This makes me so sad.

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

I have never knowingly listened to a full Neil young album before. That was joyous.

Beggars Banquet
