The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

4/5

I liked it - may not be one I'd purchase though

Winter In America

Gil Scott-Heron

5/5

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

2/5

I'd have to give this another listen but it was quite experimental and drone-y for my tastes. I don't particularly see the fuss but maybe a second listen in the right mood.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

5/5

Enjoyed it. Great album.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

A bit too old sounding for my taste even at 30 mins it becomes a slog.

Soul Mining

The The

3/5

Enjoyed it, very 80s but felt that each song sounded quite similar. There wasn't a song I really latched onto. Probably worth a re-listen but I'd give it a 3.5.

Real Life

Magazine

3/5

Yeah was OK but like others in this list, despite a couple of replays, there wasn't a song I really latched onto. Not one I'd buy.

Violent Femmes

2/5

Enjoyed the first couple of songs but it just descended into very boring droning punk. I like punk but this felt like music you suddenly discovered at 17. I think if the singer's voice doesn't really have any range or sounds very similar harmoniously then I get bored quite quickly. Where is the range? He just talk-sing through half of it. Some cracking songs surrounded by filler.

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

Great album!

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Great album. Starts off really strong with only a few skips in the middle but also ends equally as strong. Some absolute classic heavy hitters in there and a couple I've not heard before. 4.5/5

Elvis Presley

4/5

Parachutes

Coldplay

5/5

Barely any skips. Great Sunday evening music to chill out to and help with the existential dread of work. Probably their best work, maybe neck and neck with Rush of Blood to the Head, before they went stadium rock and boring.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

4/5

Really enjoyed this and a bit of fresh air from that has been selected so far. Would definitely listen again. First listen I'd say 4 out of 5. Some classics on here I'd heard before.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

Obviously some big tracks here but found a couple skippable. Blue Condition and Mother's Lament I didn't particularly enjoy. Very good psychedelic though. I'll come back to it but I'm not sure I'd buy it. I'd say 3/5.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

This could've been well higher it's too damn long!
