Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Unbelievable album, from one of the greats.

The Doors

1/5

Not for me. Singer feels drony & one note and the band often feel like they’re completely independent of one another & weren’t aware they were meant to be playing together. Songs all quite samey too.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

Not really for me, but not bad either. Feels very of its time, but not in a dated way, just the feel of it.

In Utero

Nirvana

2/5

Not really my vibe, but parts of it are enjoyable enough. Would have been a 3 star, but too many of the songs felt a bit screamo.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

Really enjoyable + a couple of all timers in there too!

Queen II

Queen

2/5

Brilliant band, but nowhere near their best on this one.

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor

Lupe Fiasco

3/5

Not bad, very listenable

The Wall

Pink Floyd

2/5

Okay at times, but some of it is truly dreadful. The songs are good, but so much of the album is just people chanting/ speaking in really bad accents

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Very listenable & largely enjoyable. Each song was probably about 1/3 longer than it needed to be though, and the songs are all a little bit samey!

Take Me Apart

Kelela

2/5

Objectively I’m sure it’s a good album, but subjectively I wasn’t grabbed by it at all, zoned out from most of it and didn’t enjoy it.

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

Not really for me, wasn’t awful but wasn’t good.

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

2/5

Not for me. Bit boring & samey.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Reasonably good listen, suspect his voice would do my head in if I had to listen to it for too long though.

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

1/5

Not very good at all - often just seems to be chanting syllables. Not rock, not rap, not good.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

2/5

May well be a very good album, but just not my type of music & so I didn't enjoy it.

The Band

3/5

Didn’t hate it, but didn’t love it. Easy to listen along to!

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

2/5

Definitely not for me

Superunknown

Soundgarden

3/5

Okay, not massively for me but equally not bad.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

Would give it a 3.5 if possible - really enjoyable listen!

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

2/5

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

One of the stronger 2’s, but it’s far too samey and doesn’t grab the attention enough to push its way up to a 3.

Electric

The Cult

2/5

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

I’d generally consider AC/DC to be a touch heavier than I like when it comes to rock, but their best stuff is just phenomenal rock music. Back in Black is a terrific album, and the closest I’ve got to a 5 star album in a while. The highs are so good, but a couple of the songs don’t quite reach the same levels, and so I think it has to settle for a 4.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

Really enjoyed this & it prompted me to listen to some more Otis Redding too.

Diamond Life

Sade

2/5

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

2/5
