The Velvet Underground

5/5

All the Velvet Underground albums are essential, and this is no exception. Superb.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

5/5

First time I'd heard it and loved it. Great final track!

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

First time listen, will do again. Great album.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

It's okay, has its moments but not my favourite Pixies album

The World is a Ghetto

War

3/5

It ok I thought, another one that had the odd moment but. didn't really grab me. Might require a few more listens perhaps...

Pearl

Janis Joplin

5/5

First time listen, very impressed. Will be listening again.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

Owned this for several years on vinyl, but first time I've listened to it all the way through! Glad I finally did, good album, opening track one of my favourite Elton efforts.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

2/5

I tried to like it, I really did. Track two makes it virtually impossible to carry on.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

1/5

I cannot get my head around Tom Waits. Utterly dreadful.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Good grief, did I really use to dance to these tunes back in the day? I must have been off my face. That's right, I was! Haven't heard it since then, so actually enjoyed hearing it again, though not an album I could listen to constantly.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

One of the hardest things in rock is to pull off the double album. A lot of decent material required. Led Zeppelin did it with this, outstanding.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

4/5

A new one for me, in fact I must admit I'd never heard of the artist. But really enjoyed it, a very interesting listen and will definitely be doing so again.

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

2/5

It's okay.....

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

2/5

Started well then went rapidly downhill into generic slow R&B and therefore became a bit boring. Made it all the way through though, so couldn't have been terrible.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

Tricky to listen ro and judge with 2026 ears, it did of course sound very basic. Not without its decent bits, and was a quick and easy listen. Also feel there's better from this era and genre.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

4/5

First time listen, and though it excellent. Only knew one Goldfrapp song before this (I bet you can't guess which one), so was pleased to hear their first LP. Will definitely listen again.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

As a mid-80s LP goes pretty decent, three hits with acceptable other tracks. Not quite all killer no filler but perfectly listenable.

Adele

3/5

A couple of great tunes but the power ballard fillers wore a bit thin.

Cross

Justice

2/5

Really, really not my cup of tea. Never heard of them before this, suffice to say I won't be making further inroads in to their back catalogue.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

4/5

Pleasantly surprised how good this was. Will be listening again.

Street Signs

Ozomatli

3/5

Only one song from this album is currently available on Spotify, and did like it. But maybe not enough to invest the time in tracking down the rest of it. An average three is what I'll give, purely in order to move on to the next selection.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Not my favourite Bowie album, but still enough within to keep me engaged. Much preferred side two to one, and obviously the title track is timeless.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Not bad, two absolute classic songs with standard 1970 rock/pop fillers to make up the album. Much better albums were released in this period I feel.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

5/5

I have listened to this album hundreds of times over my lifetime; suffice to say one of the greatest albums ever recorded and certainly one of the most influential. I can never get my head around it was recorded in 1966, so ahead of its time. One of only a handful of albums I'm guaranteed to listen to at least every few months. A comfy 5 star!

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

Utterly brilliant! Enough said.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

5/5

Outstanding garage psych, another album that would have blown people's minds when released in 1966. Quite literally if you followed the advice on the sleeve's liner notes!
