Kid A

Radiohead

1/5

Experimental, avant garde album. Not my favorite, can’t think of a situation where I would want to listen to it.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

5/5

Excellent album! PJ is the 50 foot Queenie!

Elvis Presley

3/5

Good album. A mix of upbeat songs with ballads. Basic song construction throughout the album.

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

Quintessential 80’s college radio album. I had always heard of the album but only knew Radio Free Europe from it. Whole album was a great listen. You can see why they were the fore front of Alternative Rock.

Gorillaz

3/5

British indie hip hop, interesting fusion and good music by the Blur front man. Not a woo hoo album, but some solid songs.

Metallica

5/5

Absolutely love this album! Great songs from start to finish. Game changing album for Metallica, they redefined heavy metal with this album.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

Wow, only knew one song from these guys but this album kicked arse! Definitely adding the Arctic Monkeys to my playlists.

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

2/5

A chaotic mix of all genres from the 1960’s. The first few tracks were cool, psychedelic rock. The other tracks were odd ball mix of ballads and folky songs.

Nowhere

Ride

2/5

I like Ride. My mate Russdog in Texas burned me a CD years ago. That was Going Blank Again, which is a great album. Nowhere is Ride with far less polish, raw emo-shoe gaze. Not nearly as strong as their follow up.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

Started off strong as hell with classic punk tracks. Maps is a great tune. The end of album slowed right on down, winding to indie rock. Good songs all throughout but as an album, it seems to lose its way.

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

I have never been a big fan of the Beatles, being more inclined to heavy metal and punk rock. However, the White album has a lot of very good tunes. I could do without the Bungalow Bill song though. Overall, I can see why this album is considered one of the greatest.

Van Halen

4/5

Classic rock, Eddie’s guitar wizardry is phenomenal. Not sure what the deal was Ice Cream Man, but great tunes up and down this album.

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

Good album, consistent sound and good energy. Always heard of the band but never listened to them. Enjoyable and when the album finished, shuffled on to Fugazi. Nice!

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

2/5

Disappointing album, not at all what Deep Purple we’re about. Lacked groove.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

Classic blues rock. Some great hits on this album.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

Absolute masterpiece!! Funky, punky, rocking and grooving. Great music up and down the album.

Boston

4/5

Classic album, cover to cover. My older brothers has this on 8 track tape. Lots of good memories listening to it.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

2/5

Yawn. A few ok tracks, but overall this is a snooze fest for me. Sappy lyrics, basic music, good harmonies if that’s your thing. Not mine.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

2/5

I’m not a huge fan of rap, particularly gangsta rap. I found some cool vibes on this album but it was hard to look past the misogyny and shameless self promotion.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

3/5

Good album. Raw, garage style indie rock. Not surprisingly, I learned that one of the members plays with Dinosaur Jr. I liked the innovative sound and energy of this album.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

5/5

One of the best albums from these metal giants. Solid tracks from start to finish. It was One that turned me on to Metallica. The song just shreads.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

3/5

Good jazz, I wouldn’t say smooth. Seemed unpolished, in a sense. Still, a good album.

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

2/5

A little rap, a little indie, a Little Rock but not enough of any of that. Started strong, ended weak.

Copper Blue

Sugar

5/5

How have I not heard of Sugar before? This album is alt rock gold standard stuff. I will be listening to more from Sugar.

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

Early indie, very raw and unproduced. A Forest is a stand out on this album. Much of the other songs have similar format, moody guitar and lyrics with simple drumming. Good listen nonetheless.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

2/5

Starts good and funky, ends rather flat. Other than a few good tracks, I found this album boring.

Future Days

Can

4/5

Experimental rock with groove, four tracks, 40 minutes, epic!!

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

Alright album, sounds like the White album but

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

1/5

Absolute 80’s crap
