Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
May 03 2026

Overly long and a lot of the same sound effects throughout the album. If album cut in half think would have been a more enjoyable experience, as some nice songs but a lot of filler and songs that merge into one.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
May 04 2026

A wonderful album reminded me a lot of the Radio 1 mini mixes I used to listen to only extended out over one hour. You can see the influence this album had on music over the next decade or

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
May 05 2026

A concept album with its heart in the right place- tight production and length but not as many ‘ear worms’ as other BB albums. Enjoyable but in my opinion forgettable.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 08 2026

Honestly some of the songs sound like they wouldn’t sound out of place on a spinal tap covers album. The highs on this album are great but the lows really drag it down.

Tago Mago by Can
May 11 2026

Really not for me. Seemed very loose and held together by random screeching

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
May 12 2026

Enjoyable but not their best work.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
May 13 2026

Thoroughly enjoyable experience- perfect length and a good mix of hard rock.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
May 14 2026

Just very non offensive- would not return to this album out of choice.

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
May 15 2026

Very weird and of it’s time but enjoyable all the same. Very much planted in the late 60’s summer of love, psychedelia.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
May 17 2026

Thoroughly enjoyable album. One of my dads favourite bands.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
May 19 2026

A classic album, some big hitters on this album. Surprisingly concise and very re listenable

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
May 20 2026

Just not for me, seemed very ‘samey’ the whole way through.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
May 22 2026

Lush dreamy music

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
May 24 2026

Surprised with how much I enjoyed this, especially with Axl’s reputation… Obviously heard the hits but songs like Mr Brownstone were great.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 25 2026

An album I listened to a lot when I was properly getting into music. Loved the band then and the first 3 albums are all fantastic.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
May 26 2026

Had never heard before, but knew of- would return to listen to.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
May 27 2026

Did not enjoy, the music seemed to go nowhere and the songs were forgettable.

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 30 2026

A grunge classic- ideally a 4.5 star in my opinion but just enough songs I go back to warrant the 5.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Jun 01 2026

Heavy post punk, had never listened before but would definitely give another listen!

#1 Record by Big Star
Jun 03 2026

For me, very bland and forgettable.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jun 07 2026
Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
