In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

What a start, a brilliant album that brings me back to my youth. Listened to a remaster which was great. This is top 10 of all time for me.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

It's a cool album. Its hard to appreciate music that was groundbreaking to the point it was widely imitated. I wouldn't rush to listen again but it was an enjoyable listen

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

It's ok. Son of a preacher man obviously the stand out. I found the rest quite forgettable but it's not really my thing

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

2/5

It's nice to have on in the background but most jazz just leaves me really cold.

Black Sabbath

4/5

I liked this. Proper grooves and excellent bass lines. But short of stand out bangers but very listenable

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

There's a couple of bangers on here, run to the hills is great. The skills of the musicians is clear. But it's all a little bit silly really isn't it

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

4/5

Can't say I'm a big country and western guy but I liked this. Some real bangers, all the songs are catchy and punchy. The ballads are a bit dreary but I really liked the upbeat ones

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

4/5

I've been meaning to listen to the fall for ages so I was glad this popped up. I liked it, it's intense and deep. I like the 8 bit sounds throughout. It's definitely not background music, needs to be listened to with concentration. I'll delve deeper for sure

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

It's great this, loved it. A few of the songs are really similar variations on a theme but that's a sign of the times. Some absolute bangers and quality throughout

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

2/5

I'm sure this was groundbreaking back in the day but honestly I found this mostly unlistenable. There are a couple of decent tracks but not one I'll rush back to. Stupid hippies

E.V.O.L.

Sonic Youth

4/5

Enjoyed this. Can definitely see the roots of grunge. Last track in particular is great. Would listen again

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Such a great album. Her voice is brilliant and I love the production. Some stone cold classics and only one song that isn't 8/10 or above. It does make me sad though.

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Fairly generic blues I think. Quite enjoyed it but I'd say youd struggle to predict these guys would be filling stadiums in 60 years later after hearing this for the first time

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

Decent album, enjoyed it even if there wasn't much standing out to me

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

4/5

Had low expectations of this but I really enjoyed it. The hard to handle cover is naf but I liked the rest. Would listen again

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

Just a brilliant album from start to finish. Not a moments rest, I love it

Only By The Night

Kings of Leon

2/5

I find it hard to really judge this on it's own merits because I love the first two albums. This is such a departure, in a negative sense, and I really don't like it.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

2/5

Hmm I can't say this does much for me at all. Seems like really formulaic hair rock, perhaps it was fresh at the time. Won't be listening again I'm afraid.

Disintegration

The Cure

3/5

Good album this, very atmospheric. Maybe missing out a standout track but good background listening.
