2.9
|
| I’m just not a fan of the 80s | ||||
| 632 | Are You Experienced | Jimi Hendrix | 4 |

| 627 | Trans Europe Express | Kraftwerk | 3 |
3.13
|

| Cowboy sounds | ||||
| 625 | Tanto Tempo | Bebel Gilberto | 3 |

| Quite nice | ||||
| 616 | OK Computer | Radiohead | 3 |
4.11

| 615 | The Number Of The Beast | Iron Maiden | 3 |
3.6
|
| As a huge metal head I’m not much of a Maiden fan | ||||
| 614 | The Rolling Stones | The Rolling Stones | 3 |
3.27
|
| What you’d expect from an album from this era. | ||||
| 613 | Joan Armatrading | Joan Armatrading | 3 |

| Yea it’s fine | ||||
| 612 | Sea Change | Beck | 3 |
3.33
|
| Nice listen | ||||
| 611 | Arular | M.I.A. | 2 |
2.85
|
| Not my jam | ||||
| 610 | Psychocandy | The Jesus And Mary Chain | 3 |
2.93
|
| This feels like some early industrial | ||||
| 609 | War | U2 | 2 |
3.49
|
| Just not a fan of U2 | ||||
| 608 | Moss Side Story | Barry Adamson | 3 |
2.58
|
| Some pretty cool dark jazz or something | ||||
| 607 | Music Has The Right To Children | Boards of Canada | 3 |
2.94

| 596 | Siembra | Willie Colón & Rubén Blades | 3 |
3.28
|
| Nice morning listen | ||||
| 595 | Queens of the Stone Age | Queens of the Stone Age | 3 |

| 584 | The Sounds Of India | Ravi Shankar | 3 |
2.87
|
| Nice relaxing morning sounds | ||||
| 583 | Funeral | Arcade Fire | 3 |
3.6
|
| But overrated to be honest | ||||
| 582 | Goo | Sonic Youth | 4 |
3.24
|

| 581 | Public Image: First Issue | Public Image Ltd. | 3 |

| Surprisingly good. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this band. | ||||
| 580 | Crazysexycool | TLC | 3 |
3.08
|
| Not bad, my sister loved it. | ||||
| 579 | Buena Vista Social Club | Buena Vista Social Club | 3 |
3.64
|
| Pleasant enough | ||||
| 578 | Street Life | The Crusaders | 3 |
3.1
|
| The usual ok album | ||||
| 577 | Tarkus | Emerson, Lake & Palmer | 3 |
2.8
|
| Pretty good | ||||
| 576 | Surfer Rosa | Pixies | 3 |
3.52
|
| Pixies are ok, this album is ok | ||||
| 575 | Violent Femmes | Violent Femmes | 3 |
3.52
|

| 574 | Solid Air | John Martyn | 3 |
3.19
|
| Not bad | ||||
| 573 | Tuesday Night Music Club | Sheryl Crow | 3 |
3.04
|
| Fun enough | ||||
| 572 | All Hail the Queen | Queen Latifah | 3 |
2.85
|
| Yea it’s fine, standard rating. Very of it’s time | ||||
| 571 | Oar | Alexander 'Skip' Spence | 2 |
2.5
|
| Pretty boring | ||||
| 570 | Exile On Main Street | The Rolling Stones | 3 |
3.6
|
| Just fine | ||||
| 569 | Architecture And Morality | Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark | 2 |
3.05
|
| Not for me, too 80s | ||||
| 568 | Dub Housing | Pere Ubu | 2 |
2.35
|
| God, that final song is terrible | ||||
| 567 | LP1 | FKA twigs | 3 |
2.82
|
| As with many others, not my thing but not bad | ||||
| 566 | Kind Of Blue | Miles Davis | 3 |
4.03
|
| Not as good as Bitches Brew mind | ||||
| 565 | Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) | Loretta Lynn | 3 |
2.96
|
| Not my thing but I can appreciate it | ||||
| 564 | Eliminator | ZZ Top | 3 |
3.4
|
| Lacking in some big hitters, but decent | ||||
| 563 | Bitches Brew | Miles Davis | 3 |
3.28
|
| It baffles me that someone create such an erratic sounding album, that ultimately must have some sort of structure holding it together. I don’t know if any of these songs were ever played live, but I can only assume the live arrangements would only loosely follow the studio versions. For an album that sounds completely improv, surely it must be. | ||||
| 562 | Green | R.E.M. | 2 |
3.47
|
| R.E.M. are a weird band. Objectively I understand why people like them, but at the same time find it wild that people could think this is the greatest music they’ve ever heard! | ||||
| 561 | Slanted And Enchanted | Pavement | 3 |
3
|
| Yea not bad | ||||
| 560 | Bad | Michael Jackson | 4 |
3.81
|

| 559 | At San Quentin | Johnny Cash | 2 |
3.82
|
| Can’t really understand the need for it | ||||
| 558 | Larks' Tongues In Aspic | King Crimson | 3 |
3.01
|
| Yea pretty good. I should probably spun again. | ||||
| 557 | Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle | Bill Callahan | 3 |
3.04
|
| A bit darker than I was imagining | ||||
| 556 | Dr. Octagonecologyst | Dr. Octagon | 2 |
2.72
|
| I didn’t find this to be a particularly special hip hop album. | ||||
| 555 | Mott | Mott The Hoople | 3 |
2.96
|
| Not bad I suppose. | ||||
| 554 | It's A Shame About Ray | The Lemonheads | 3 |
3.14
|
| Yea this is good. Nice punk rock vibe, would listen again | ||||
| 553 | Phrenology | The Roots | 2 |
3.27
|
| Not for me | ||||
| 552 | Millions Now Living Will Never Die | Tortoise | 4 |
2.86
|
| This is really damn cool, and exactly the sort of album I was hoping to get recommended. It’s like post-rock/jazz/trip-hop! | ||||
| 551 | Since I Left You | The Avalanches | 4 |
3.3
|
| Just an incredible album | ||||
| 550 | Time (The Revelator) | Gillian Welch | 2 |
3.03
|
| Fine for what it is, but not my jam | ||||
| 549 | Crocodiles | Echo And The Bunnymen | 3 |

| 548 | Cross | Justice | 2 |
3.29
|
| No totally my jam | ||||
| 547 | McCartney | Paul McCartney | 3 |
3.23
|
| Not as good as The Beatles | ||||
| 546 | Catch A Fire | Bob Marley & The Wailers | 3 |
3.67
|
| Nice listen | ||||
| 545 | Younger Than Yesterday | The Byrds | 3 |
3.13
|
| Another album that’s just ok | ||||
| 544 | Among The Living | Anthrax | 3 |
2.83
|
| Disappointing thrash | ||||
| 543 | Let's Get Killed | David Holmes | 3 |
2.7
|

|
| God that was dull | ||||
| 340 | Eternally Yours | The Saints | 3 |
3.05
|
| Bit fed up of saying it, but this is fine | ||||
| 339 | Appetite For Destruction | Guns N' Roses | 3 |
3.76
|
| Can't deny it's quality, even if I can't stand Axl Rose | ||||
| 338 | Go Girl Crazy | The Dictators | 3 |
2.86
|
| Nice catchy punk | ||||
| 337 | Copper Blue | Sugar | 3 |
2.99
|
| Never heard of them, but pretty good | ||||
| 336 | Ready To Die | The Notorious B.I.G. | 3 |
3.41
|
| Pretty good rap album | ||||
| 335 | The Stooges | The Stooges | 3 |
3.27

| More Psychedelic than I was expecting | ||||
| 334 | Double Nickels On The Dime | Minutemen | 3 |
3.12
|
| It's a pretty cool mixed bag, long though | ||||
| 333 | Will The Circle Be Unbroken | Nitty Gritty Dirt Band | 2 |
2.95
|
| Yea, I couldn't get through a 2 hour hoe down | ||||
| 332 | Maxinquaye | Tricky | 3 |
3.05
|
| I do like a bit of trip hop | ||||
| 331 | Technique | New Order | 3 |
3.2
|
| For an 80s pop album, it wasn't terrible | ||||
| 330 | Alien Lanes | Guided By Voices | 3 |
2.76
|
| Short songs that were fine | ||||
| 329 | Paul Simon | Paul Simon | 3 |
3.53
|

| 328 | Actually | Pet Shop Boys | 1 |
3.17
|
| I can't stand the Pet Shop Boys | ||||
| 327 | Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers | Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers | 2 |
3.4
|
| I can't remember literally anything about this, an md I just listened | ||||
| 326 | Blonde On Blonde | Bob Dylan | 3 |
3.52
|
| I don't get all the fuss, in all honesty | ||||
| 325 | Seventeen Seconds | The Cure | 3 |
3.35
|
| Yea ok I suppose | ||||
| 324 | Hms Fable | Shack | 3 |
2.8
|
| Pretty generic, but not bad | ||||
| 323 | Make Yourself | Incubus | 3 |
3.07
|
| I'm not the biggest Incubus fan, although I probably should be | ||||
| 322 | Freak Out! | The Mothers Of Invention | 3 |
2.83
|
| Pretty good | ||||
| 321 | GREY Area | Little Simz | 3 |
3.26
|
| Really pretty good, although not my usual thing | ||||
| 320 | Talking Book | Stevie Wonder | 4 |
3.72
|
| Not my favourite Stevie, but damn good | ||||
| 319 | Ocean Rain | Echo And The Bunnymen | 3 |
3.19
|
| As always, this was fine | ||||
| 318 | In Utero | Nirvana | 3 |
3.84
|
| I think Nirvana are overrated but this is still a good album | ||||
| 317 | Bongo Rock | Incredible Bongo Band | 3 |
3.27
|
| Surprisingly great | ||||
| 316 | Imperial Bedroom | Elvis Costello & The Attractions | 2 |
3.04
|
| Just a bit boring to be honest | ||||
| 315 | Hunky Dory | David Bowie | 4 |
4.02
|
| Easily my favourite Bowie album, but I'm far from a huge fan | ||||
| 314 | Abraxas | Santana | 3 |
3.72
|
| Literally nothing wrong with this album | ||||
| 313 | Ill Communication | Beastie Boys | 3 |
3.64
|
| A bit long, but some bangers nonetheless | ||||
| 312 | 25 | Adele | 2 |
3.37
|
| I can appreciate her voice but just find this boring | ||||
| 311 | Selected Ambient Works 85-92 | Aphex Twin | 3 |
3.21
|
| Nice ambient/atmospheric stuff, but not sure I'd revist often | ||||
| 310 | Peter Gabriel | Peter Gabriel | 3 |
3.25
|
| Surprisingly good | ||||
| 309 | In The Wee Small Hours | Frank Sinatra | 3 |
3.28
|
| I can appreciate the importance, but I'd not listen to it again | ||||
| 308 | The ArchAndroid | Janelle Monáe | 3 |
3.5
|
| Not my jam but I can respect it | ||||
| 307 | A Rush Of Blood To The Head | Coldplay | 4 |
3.45
|
| This was close to being a 5/5! Great album. | ||||
| 306 | The Slider | T. Rex | 3 |
3.27
|
| Pleasant | ||||
| 305 | Southern Rock Opera | Drive-By Truckers | 2 |
2.82
|
| Long, and uneventful | ||||
| 304 | The Village Green Preservation Society | The Kinks | 3 |
3.4
|
| It's surely another Kinks album | ||||
| 303 | Triangle | The Beau Brummels | 2 |
2.74
|
| Just a bit boring | ||||
| 302 | Dog Man Star | Suede | 3 |
3.02
|
| Bit of a let down compared to the other Suede album I heard. | ||||
| 301 | Something Else By The Kinks | The Kinks | 3 |
3.25
|
| Not bad | ||||
| 300 | White Blood Cells | The White Stripes | 3 |
3.71
|
| Today was the first time I realised I've only really listened to Elephant. Thos was alright, but not quite as good. | ||||
| 299 | I'm Your Man | Leonard Cohen | 2 |
3.13
|
| Not for me | ||||
| 298 | Off The Wall | Michael Jackson | 4 |
3.78
|
| Just full of bangers. Is it possible to listen to MJ without moving? | ||||
| 297 | Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert) | Bob Dylan | 3 |
3.13
|
| Quire a long one, but a good performance | ||||
| 296 | All Mod Cons | The Jam | 3 |
3.28
|
| Another album that's OK, nothing stood out particularly | ||||
| 295 | The Blueprint | JAY Z | 3 |
3.27
|
| Not my favourite hip hop artist, but not bad | ||||
| 294 | Hearts And Bones | Paul Simon | 2 |
3.03
|
| Paul Simon is just not really for me, I know this | ||||
| 293 | Rocks | Aerosmith | 3 |
3.12
|
| Yea it's alright. Didn't realise Airbourne owed them so much | ||||
| 292 | This Is Hardcore | Pulp | 3 |
3.15
|
| This was some good Britpop. I could hear Jarvis channelling some Bowie and Roger Waters | ||||
| 291 | Another Music In A Different Kitchen | Buzzcocks | 3 |
3.08
|
| I'm a huge punk fan, and this is fairly good punk. I'm not too into the classic punk bands/sound but The Buzzcocks are pretty good. | ||||
| 290 | Juju | Siouxsie And The Banshees | 3 |
3.29
|
| Already knew some of these songs. I can hear some post punk in here, which is cool | ||||
| 289 | Face to Face | The Kinks | 3 |
3.28
|
| This is the most like The Beatles I've ever heard them sound. Unfortunately, not as good, although some songs are killer. | ||||
| 288 | AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted | Ice Cube | 3 |
2.97
|
| Far from my favourite Ice Cube album. It's not terrible though, although some of it hasn't aged well. | ||||
| 287 | The Atomic Mr Basie | Count Basie & His Orchestra | 3 |
3.5
|
| The sort of jazz I can dig | ||||
| 286 | Graceland | Paul Simon | 2 |
3.75
|
| I appreciate what he is trying to do here but it is just not for me | ||||
| 285 | Bone Machine | Tom Waits | 3 |
2.86
|
| Not bad, soulful voice | ||||
| 284 | Teen Dream | Beach House | 3 |
3.29
|
| A nice trippy listen | ||||
| 283 | Emergency On Planet Earth | Jamiroquai | 3 |
3.25
|
| Not bad, I hope other Jamiroquai albums will feature as this is far from their best | ||||
| 282 | Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not | Arctic Monkeys | 3 |
3.76
|
| Hard to believe this is 16 years old! Like a more modern oasis. Not my favourite style but I can appreciate | ||||
| 281 | m b v | My Bloody Valentine | 3 |
2.72
|
| Quite nice actually, beautifully trippy. | ||||
| 280 | Merriweather Post Pavilion | Animal Collective | 3 |
2.92
|
| Yea it's fine, not bad at all | ||||
| 279 | The Dark Side Of The Moon | Pink Floyd | 3 |
4.42
|
| Overrated if I'm honest, I prefer The Wall or Wish You Were Here | ||||
| 278 | Play | Moby | 4 |
3.48
|
| I'm as surprised as hell to find I enjoyed this. I'll be spinning again 👍 | ||||
| 277 | Green River | Creedence Clearwater Revival | 3 |
3.8
|
| Definitely a nice listen | ||||
| 276 | Too Rye Ay | Dexys Midnight Runners | 2 |
3.14
|
| Everything I dislike about 80s music. It breaks my heart tat albums like this have a place over others | ||||
| 275 | Tago Mago | Can | 3 |
2.81
|
| Not as weird as I'd hoped | ||||
| 274 | Basket of Light | Pentangle | 3 |
2.75
|
| Of its time, but fine | ||||
| 273 | Franz Ferdinand | Franz Ferdinand | 3 |
3.57
|
| I knew more of these than I remembered. I'm not huge into this style but these are quite infectious songs | ||||
| 272 | Rattus Norvegicus | The Stranglers | 3 |
3.15
|
| It's fine, but another one I don't understand | ||||
| 271 | Vincebus Eruptum | Blue Cheer | 3 |
2.81
|
| Not as Psychedelic as I was hoping | ||||
| 270 | Shaka Zulu | Ladysmith Black Mambazo | 2 |
3.08
|
| I can appreciate it for what it is,but would I relisten? No. | ||||
| 269 | That's The Way Of The World | Earth, Wind & Fire | 3 |
3.51
|
| Funky fresh | ||||
| 268 | In It For The Money | Supergrass | 3 |
3.27
|
| Not as good as the other Britpop albums I've received | ||||
| 267 | BEYONCÉ | Beyoncé | 2 |
2.93
|
| I actually don't mind Beyonce but I didn't feed these songs particularly catchy, not her best | ||||
| 266 | Now I Got Worry | The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion | 3 |
2.51
|
| Yea pretty good, and a bit out there, which I like | ||||
| 265 | In A Silent Way | Miles Davis | 3 |
3.61
|
| Nice, really nice | ||||
| 264 | American Beauty | Grateful Dead | 3 |
3.22
|
| I listened but don't actually remember much about it | ||||
| 263 | Darklands | The Jesus And Mary Chain | 3 |
3.22
|
| Another day, another average album | ||||
| 262 | The Queen Is Dead | The Smiths | 2 |
3.65
|
| How apt. I'm not too much of a fan of The Smiths, mainly because of the vocals. Unsurprisingly this didn't do much to change my opinion. | ||||
| 261 | Mask | Bauhaus | 3 |
2.84
|
| Yea it's not bad I suppose | ||||
| 260 | Coles Corner | Richard Hawley | 3 |
3.04
|
| Sounds like it could've been released in the 50s | ||||
| 259 | Closer | Joy Division | 3 |
3.22
|
| Yea this album ain't bad | ||||
| 258 | It's Blitz! | Yeah Yeah Yeahs | 3 |
3.51
|
| I don't mind the yeah yeah yeahs actually | ||||
| 257 | School's Out | Alice Cooper | 3 |
3.2
|
| Fun enough album that doesn't overstay its welcome | ||||
| 256 | The Joshua Tree | U2 | 2 |
3.69
|
| So I really don't like U2, but I gave this a chance. Not as terrible as I'd thought it might be, but still not my thing | ||||
| 255 | In The Court Of The Crimson King | King Crimson | 4 |
3.6
|
| I understand that it's highly regarded and I like prog, but I don't love it as much as some | ||||
| 254 | Sail Away | Randy Newman | 3 |
2.99
|
| A whole album of Toy Story songs 😅 | ||||
| 253 | All Hope Is Gone | Slipknot | 4 |
2.74
|
| It's far from their best and I'm surprised it made it onto the list to be honest | ||||
| 252 | Bummed | Happy Mondays | 1 |
2.65
|
| Couldn't make it through it, really not for me. | ||||
| 251 | Truth | Jeff Beck | 3 |
3.15
|
| This is nice enough, and I get a lot of Led Zeppelin parallels. They probably harm it a bit though as it's not as good as any Led Zep album | ||||
| 250 | Happy Trails | Quicksilver Messenger Service | 3 |
2.81
|
| Yea, fun album | ||||
| 249 | Songs Of Leonard Cohen | Leonard Cohen | 2 |
3.36
|
| More average music that's not my thing | ||||
| 248 | This Year's Model | Elvis Costello & The Attractions | 3 |
3.35
|
| It's fine, but nothing special | ||||
| 247 | If I Should Fall From Grace With God | The Pogues | 3 |
3.31
|
| Irish folk with some great outside influences actually pretty cool | ||||
| 246 | Dust | Screaming Trees | 3 |
3.15
|
| A pretty easy listening grunge album, not bad | ||||
| 245 | Station To Station | David Bowie | 3 |
3.7
|
| Another day, another Bowie album. It's fine | ||||
| 244 | People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm | A Tribe Called Quest | 2 |
3.61
|
| This album is full of some really great samples, but I found altogether uninspiring | ||||
| 243 | If I Could Only Remember My Name | David Crosby | 3 |
3.05
|
| Quite entertaining | ||||
| 242 | Head Hunters | Herbie Hancock | 3 |
3.56
|
| It's a bop | ||||
| 241 | The Band | The Band | 3 |
3.37
|
| Another 60s album, what else can I say | ||||
| 240 | Roxy Music | Roxy Music | 2 |
3.11
|
| Nit really my jam to be honest | ||||
| 239 | Daydream Nation | Sonic Youth | 3 |
3.29
|
| Yea not bad | ||||
| 238 | Another Green World | Brian Eno | 3 |
3.11
|
| Nice Mike Oldfield/movie soundtrack vibes. Pretty good. | ||||
| 237 | Diamond Life | Sade | 2 |
3.31
|
| Just not for me I'm afraid | ||||
| 236 | Music for the Masses | Depeche Mode | 2 |
3.36
|
| It's not bad, just not my thing | ||||
| 235 | Live At The Regal | B.B. King | 2 |
3.7
|
| Yea it's fine | ||||
| 234 | At Fillmore East | The Allman Brothers Band | 3 |
3.39
|
| Went on a bit and not as good as I was hoping | ||||
| 233 | Maverick A Strike | Finley Quaye | 3 |
2.79
|
| Yea not bad | ||||
| 232 | Marquee Moon | Television | 3 |
3.49
|
| This was really quite good | ||||
| 231 | New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84) | Simple Minds | 2 |
2.94
|
| Not my cup of tea | ||||
| 230 | The Predator | Ice Cube | 3 |
3.28
|
| Ice Cube has always been one of my favourite rappers but I've not actually heard this album before. It's bordering on a 4/5 but just misses the mark. | ||||
| 229 | Bitte Orca | Dirty Projectors | 2 |
2.73
|
| Couldn't really find anything I liked if I'm honest | ||||
| 228 | American IV: The Man Comes Around | Johnny Cash | 3 |
3.89
|
| Really nice collection of covers, cool stuff | ||||
| 227 | Toys In The Attic | Aerosmith | 3 |
3.29
|
| Yea not bad I guess | ||||
| 226 | Picture Book | Simply Red | 2 |
2.89
|
| Simply Red were always one of the bands I said I HATED! All the singles I've heard have been atrocious and headache inducing. I went into Rhos with an open mind, and you know what it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting! | ||||
| 225 | Giant Steps | The Boo Radleys | 3 |
2.91
|
| Not bad I suppose | ||||
| 224 | Ogden's Nut Gone Flake | Small Faces | 3 |
2.99
|
| More generic 60s rock,but nothing bad about it | ||||
| 223 | Countdown To Ecstasy | Steely Dan | 3 |
3.28
|
| Some flashes of good stuff but generally quite middle of the road | ||||
| 222 | Green Onions | Booker T. & The MG's | 3 |
3.41
|
| Yea another solid one, good vibes | ||||
| 221 | Nowhere | Ride | 3 |
2.99
|
| Yea a nice listen | ||||
| 220 | Blur | Blur | 4 |
3.35
|
| Loving brit pop at the moment and this is another classic | ||||
| 219 | The Message | Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five | 3 |
3.27
|
| Pretty solid funk, soul album, not what I was expecting, in a good way. | ||||
| 218 | Infected | The The | 2 |
2.94
|
| More 80s pop, oh dear. This is slightly better than some of the other albums that have come through, but not by much. | ||||
| 217 | Here Are the Sonics | The Sonics | 3 |
3.18
|
| Lots of songs I knew here that I didn't know who the actual artist was. Not bad. | ||||
| 216 | This Is Fats Domino | Fats Domino | 2 |
3.36
|
| Very of it's time, but not something I can listen to. | ||||
| 215 | Purple Rain | Prince | 2 |
3.99
|
| I don't get Prince, probably never will | ||||
| 214 | Yank Crime | Drive Like Jehu | 4 |
2.68
|
| Another example of something that I'd never heard of, that us up my street. I dig things that are post-hardcore and this is nice. | ||||
| 213 | Thriller | Michael Jackson | 4 |
4.22
|
| It's pretty much flawless right? How many bangers can you fit on one album? | ||||
| 212 | Songs From A Room | Leonard Cohen | 3 |
3.18
|
| Fine, if a little on the boring side | ||||
| 211 | Ananda Shankar | Ananda Shankar | 3 |
2.8
|
| Yea a really interesting listen | ||||
| 210 | Forever Changes | Love | 3 |
3.24
|
| Bit more Psychedelic than some of the other generic 60s stuff. Nice. | ||||
| 209 | Mr. Tambourine Man | The Byrds | 3 |
3.23
|
| It's fine, another 60s album that doesn't sound as good as The Beatles | ||||
| 208 | Arise | Sepultura | 5 |
2.69
|
| I once heard this described as a 'riff Bible'. It is such an incredible album and it does surprise me that it is on this list, even if it is my favourite Sepultura album. | ||||
| 207 | Winter In America | Gil Scott-Heron | 3 |
3.25
|
| A nice listen | ||||
| 206 | Debut | Björk | 3 |
3.36
|
| Not my favourite björk album, I think she clearly got better as she went on, but a pretty solid debut | ||||
| 205 | (What's The Story) Morning Glory | Oasis | 4 |
3.83
|
| A stone cold classic that is just full of hits! | ||||
| 204 | Arc Of A Diver | Steve Winwood | 2 |
2.88
|
| Not for me | ||||
| 203 | I See A Darkness | Bonnie "Prince" Billy | 2 |
2.96
|
| Quite dull I'm afraid | ||||
| 202 | My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy | Kanye West | 3 |
3.48
|
| I'm generally not a Kanye fan, and I had low expectations. This was OK,if a little overlong | ||||
| 201 | Brown Sugar | D'Angelo | 2 |
2.91
|
| For some reason I thought I was going to like thos more than I did. It was ok | ||||
| 200 | Odelay | Beck | 4 |
3.47
|
| I went into this expecting some sort of 90s Britpop album but this was way better than I could've imagined, great stuff | ||||
| 199 | Wild Is The Wind | Nina Simone | 2 |
3.63
|
| Not my jam but pleasant enough. | ||||
| 198 | Treasure | Cocteau Twins | 3 |
3.02
|
| Surprisingly good. I went in with low expectations but this was pretty cool. | ||||
| 197 | Something/Anything? | Todd Rundgren | 3 |
3.02
|
| Getting tires of saying albums are just 'fine', but here's another one that is just that. | ||||
| 196 | Smash | The Offspring | 4 |
3.39
|
| Not my fave Offspring album but an absolute banger | ||||
| 195 | Elastica | Elastica | 3 |
3.24
|
| Another classic my sister used to play a lot | ||||
| 194 | Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) | Wu-Tang Clan | 3 |
3.63
|
| One of the better hip hop albums and one I definitely should've been into back when I first got into hip hop. | ||||
| 193 | The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady | Charles Mingus | 3 |
3.3
|
| As far as jazz goes, this is pretty good background music | ||||
| 192 | The Lexicon Of Love | ABC | 1 |
3.09
|
| I am just not a fan of 80s pop. | ||||
| 191 | Signing Off | UB40 | 3 |
2.95
|
| It's reggae, I like reggae | ||||
| 190 | Back to Mystery City | Hanoi Rocks | 3 |
2.68
|
| Pretty unoffenssive rock. It's fine but not particularly great. | ||||
| 189 | Yankee Hotel Foxtrot | Wilco | 2 |
3.3
|
| Dreary indie album is dreary | ||||
| 188 | I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You | Aretha Franklin | 3 |
3.96
|
| Quite nice for what it is | ||||
| 187 | Life Thru A Lens | Robbie Williams | 3 |
2.73
|
| I remember getting this the Christmas of '97. I wasn't interested in the slightest. Angels was alright but this was Robbie from Take That, and that was what my sister listened to! Outside of the singles this feels like Robbie trying to establish himself in the Britpop scene, as here are some serious Oasis/Blur similarities here. He was a little too late to the show but this isn't bad. | ||||
| 186 | Speakerboxxx/The Love Below | OutKast | 2 |
3.47
|
| As much as Outkast are a nostalgia hit for me, this album is too long | ||||
| 185 | Femi Kuti | Femi Kuti | 3 |
3.22
|
| Nice. Another I'd likely never have heard without this site. Not a genre I'd obsess over but this was something different | ||||
| 184 | Arrival | ABBA | 3 |
3.46
|
| Actually quite a pleasant listen. I obviously knew the singles but there other nice songs as well. | ||||
| 183 | Music For The Jilted Generation | The Prodigy | 3 |
3.06
|
| Not heard this album before, although I of course know some of the songs. A sign of greater things to come. | ||||
| 182 | Let It Be | The Replacements | 3 |
3.23
|
| I prefer my punk to be American skate punk/melodic hardcore from the 90s, but this is ok | ||||
| 181 | The Gershwin Songbook | Ella Fitzgerald | 3 |
3.62
|
| Classically beautiful but not the sort of thing I'd listen to regularly. | ||||
| 180 | Black Sabbath | Black Sabbath | 4 |
3.77
|
| A great start to the band and heavy metal as a genre. Some real classics in here. | ||||
| 179 | Groovin' | The Young Rascals | 2 |
3.04
|
| Another 60s rock album that I probably didn't need. It was fine. | ||||
| 178 | Pretzel Logic | Steely Dan | 3 |
3.41
|
| Bit fed of saying albums are just 'fine', but here's another one 😅 | ||||
| 177 | Synchronicity | The Police | 3 |
3.41
|
| I'll admit, I went into this sure that I'd dislike it. I didn't love it, far from it, but it was more complex and varied than I'd thought a Police album could be. | ||||
| 176 | Pretenders | Pretenders | 3 |
3.34
|
| This was more punk rock than 80s pop than I was expecting. Not all that bad | ||||
| 175 | Highway 61 Revisited | Bob Dylan | 4 |
3.75
|
| Really great actually, I'll be sticking this on again | ||||
| 174 | Heroes | David Bowie | 3 |
3.61
|
| I've listened to enough David Bowie to know he'll never be my favourite artist, but I respect him. Hunky Dory is my favourite. | ||||
| 173 | Cypress Hill | Cypress Hill | 3 |
3.15
|
| I've been a casual Cypress Hill fan for years, but never heard this album before. A sign of things to come I guess, but not their best. | ||||
| 172 | Destroyer | KISS | 3 |
2.89
|
| As this someone who can't stand Gene Simmons, I have never listened to a KISS album. I went in with an open mind and this wasn't terrible. They're actually pretty cheesy and remind me of Meatloaf | ||||
| 171 | The Real Thing | Faith No More | 4 |
3.21
|
| What a great album. It's one that I've only fairly recently started listening to, which is weird. | ||||
| 170 | ...And Justice For All | Metallica | 5 |
3.45
|
| What an album! Yes there's the issue with the inaudible bass but it's Metallica at their most technical, on the cusp of world domination, when they were still pissed off. They were grieving for Cliff and they put this monster out. What I would give to be able to go back and see them on this tour. | ||||
| 169 | 90 | 808 State | 1 |
2.67
|
| I just don't get how people can listen to this at all, let alone rate it one of the greatest albums of all time! This is coming from someone who listens to some unlistenable music | ||||
| 168 | Songs Of Love And Hate | Leonard Cohen | 3 |
3.25
|
| As with many albums I seem to be rating, it was OK, nothing more | ||||
| 167 | Modern Life Is Rubbish | Blur | 3 |
3.14
|
| Not as good as their later albums but clearly a sign of things to come. | ||||
| 166 | The Soft Bulletin | The Flaming Lips | 3 |
3.28
|
| I didn't realise the Mastodon cover of A Spoonful Weighs a Ton was a Flaming Lips song. This was surprisingly better than expected. | ||||
| 165 | Shalimar | Rahul Dev Burman | 3 |
2.61
|
| As far as soundtracks to movies I've never seen go, this isn't too bad. | ||||
| 164 | Fun House | The Stooges | 3 |
3.26
|
| The Stooges are ok and this is an alright listen. As a huge punk fan this doesn't do much for me. | ||||
| 163 | Harvest | Neil Young | 3 |
3.85
|
| I think I've got this on vinyl somewhere, it's fine, nothing special though. | ||||
| 162 | Music From The Penguin Cafe | Penguin Cafe Orchestra | 3 |
2.99
|
| Nice chill stuff, would listen again | ||||
| 161 | Tapestry | Carole King | 3 |
3.89
|
| Chock full of hits. The is the kind of Carpenters type music I can dig | ||||
| 160 | The Visitors | ABBA | 3 |
3.18
|
| I've been looking forward to getting some ABBA. I think I only knew one song from this album. It was OK but think I'll dig some of their classics even more. | ||||
| 159 | Sunday At The Village Vanguard | Bill Evans Trio | 2 |
3.34
|
| This sort of thing will only ever be background music, and the sort that I would personally never play. | ||||
| 158 | Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche | Koffi Olomide | 2 |
2.61
|
| Not the sort of music I'd ever find myself going back to. It was fine though | ||||
| 157 | Drunk | Thundercat | 3 |
3.13
|
| I remember checking this out a few years ago. I liked it, even though I'm not super into this style of music | ||||
| 156 | 3 + 3 | The Isley Brothers | 3 |
3.59
|
| Funky fresh,it was alright | ||||
| 155 | Live At The Star Club, Hamburg | Jerry Lee Lewis | 3 |
3.32
|
| So I guess I know most of these songs 😅 | ||||
| 154 | The Stranger | Billy Joel | 3 |
3.84
|
| I liked this WAY more than I thought I would! | ||||
| 153 | Loveless | My Bloody Valentine | 3 |
3.17
|
| My first listen to a My Bloody Valentine, which is a surprise. Not sure what I was expecting, other than to maybe like this more than I did. It was solid though. | ||||
| 152 | The Suburbs | Arcade Fire | 3 |
3.54
|
| Yea it's OK, I liked that other album of theirs more | ||||
| 151 | Legalize It | Peter Tosh | 3 |
3.07
|
| Some nice smooth reggae. It helped that I was listening on a Sunday afternoon | ||||
| 150 | Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere | Neil Young & Crazy Horse | 3 |
3.54
|
| Not bad | ||||
| 149 | Crime Of The Century | Supertramp | 3 |
3.42
|
| Pretty damn good | ||||
| 148 | Take Me Apart | Kelela | 2 |
2.76
|
| Objectively this isn't bad at all, but it's just really not my jam. | ||||
| 147 | The Genius Of Ray Charles | Ray Charles | 3 |
3.63
|
| I can't say I ever choose to listen to this style of music but it's nice enough. I don't really have a point of reference as to whether this I'd exceptional or not. | ||||
| 146 | The Madcap Laughs | Syd Barrett | 3 |
2.65
|
| I'm not really a huge fan of Pink Floyd but I know about Syd and his history. I was interested to hear this and I'm sure I could love it more on further listens but I'm not sure I'll revisit often. | ||||
| 145 | Call of the Valley | Shivkumar Sharma | 4 |
2.95
|
| More of the sort of alternative music that I was hoping to hear more of. This is lovely relaxing music and the sort of thing my wife likes. As expected, when listening to this she asked me who it was. | ||||
| 144 | You Want It Darker | Leonard Cohen | 3 |
3.35
|
| Dark and brooding, nice | ||||
| 143 | Let England Shake | PJ Harvey | 3 |
3.14
|
| Nice, better than the other PJ Harvey album I've listened to I think. | ||||
| 142 | Remain In Light | Talking Heads | 3 |
3.63
|
| I liked this enough to definitely revisit. | ||||
| 141 | Californication | Red Hot Chili Peppers | 4 |
3.77
|
| One of my first rock records. Amazing album | ||||
| 140 | Dance Mania | Tito Puente | 3 |
3.26
|
| This is Latin American jazz. I don't know or listen to enough Latin America jazz to distinguish if this is great or not. It's fine but I wouldn't choose to listen to this. | ||||
| 139 | The Beach Boys Today! | The Beach Boys | 3 |
3.22
|
| Nice little album of it's era, not that I know many of the tunes off this one. | ||||
| 138 | In Rainbows | Radiohead | 3 |
3.84
|
| I'm no expert on Radiohead, but of all the albums of theirs I've heard this is not one of the best. Not bad though. | ||||
| 137 | The Man Who | Travis | 3 |
3.04
|
| Not bad as far as this type of music goes | ||||
| 136 | Murmur | R.E.M. | 2 |
3.41
|
| I'm just not a fan of REM. I can't actually believe this is the third album of theirs on here! | ||||
| 135 | São Paulo Confessions | Suba | 3 |
2.85
|
| Not bad at all, quite relaxing and nice to find an artist I'd never heard of. | ||||
| 134 | My Aim Is True | Elvis Costello | 3 |
3.36
|
| Easy listening but nothing much to it. | ||||
| 133 | Crooked Rain Crooked Rain | Pavement | 3 |
3.22
|
| I've been aware of this band for ages but never heard a lick. This wasn't bad but I was a bit underwhelmed. I may revisit though | ||||
| 132 | Autobahn | Kraftwerk | 3 |
3.05
|
| Not quite what I was expecting from my first Kraftwerk experience. This is way more atmospheric than I imagined it'd be. Nice | ||||
| 131 | Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs | Marty Robbins | 2 |
3.31
|
| This is OK for what it is but it's too dated for me really. I know I'd never choose to listen to it. | ||||
| 130 | Urban Hymns | The Verve | 4 |
3.38
|
| I love the 90s. Yea, another album full of hits from my childhood | ||||
| 129 | Wonderful Rainbow | Lightning Bolt | 3 |
2.29
|
| Nice to have something that's kind of in my wheelhouse, that I'd not heard of. This was OK but nothing amazing | ||||
| 128 | Inspiration Information | Shuggie Otis | 3 |
3.27
|
| Nice enough jaunt | ||||
| 127 | John Prine | John Prine | 2 |
3.16
|
| Country just ain't for me | ||||
| 126 | The Cars | The Cars | 3 |
3.65
|
| A nice listen | ||||
| 125 | Lam Toro | Baaba Maal | 3 |
2.71
|
| This is the sort of thing I like to get thrown my way. Totally out of my wheel house, and I've never heard of him before. | ||||
| 124 | L'Eau Rouge | The Young Gods | 3 |
2.32
|
| I had no idea this was an industrial band/album. It reminded me of Ministry, which I was fine with. Nice surprise here. | ||||
| 123 | Iron Maiden | Iron Maiden | 4 |
3.39
|
| As a huge metal head, I've never really actually got on with Iron Maiden. This ones ok | ||||
| 122 | Aja | Steely Dan | 3 |
3.43
|
| Yea this was pretty nice actually | ||||
| 121 | Private Dancer | Tina Turner | 2 |
3.25
|
| I gave it a go. | ||||
| 120 | Devil Without A Cause | Kid Rock | 2 |
2.12
|
| I used to like a few Kid Rock songs as a kid, I couldn't finish this though. | ||||
| 119 | Suede | Suede | 3 |
3.12
|
| This is a nostalgia hit, my sister used to love this band. | ||||
| 118 | Rock Bottom | Robert Wyatt | 3 |
2.38
|
| I liked it a lot and will definitely revisit. Reminded me of Mike Oldfield. | ||||
| 117 | Apocalypse Dudes | Turbonegro | 4 |
2.91
|
| Rocking! Loved them for years and good to see them on here. | ||||
| 116 | Like A Prayer | Madonna | 1 |
3.19
|
| I can deal with some eras of Madonna. This is not one of them. | ||||
| 115 | Paris 1919 | John Cale | 2 |
2.94
|
| Yea it was ok | ||||
| 114 | Timeless | Goldie | 2 |
2.54
|
| A gave this a go. Really not my jam but actually more likeable than I imagined | ||||
| 113 | The Grand Tour | George Jones | 2 |
2.78
|
| Just a but boring | ||||
| 112 | Moving Pictures | Rush | 4 |
3.6
|
| I'm not a huge Rush fan but this may be my favourite of theirs | ||||
| 111 | Fear Of Music | Talking Heads | 3 |
3.45
|
| It's fine but I don't really get the appeal. | ||||
| 110 | Ten | Pearl Jam | 4 |
3.94
|
| Now this a band I've always kinda liked but never deep dived into them. Pretty good. | ||||
| 109 | Beauty And The Beat | The Go-Go's | 2 |
3.37
|
| I don't like 80s pop | ||||
| 108 | Me Against The World | 2Pac | 3 |
3.25
|
| Pretty good hip hop | ||||
| 107 | Tidal | Fiona Apple | 2 |
3.43
|
| Easy listening but not my jam | ||||
| 106 | In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida | Iron Butterfly | 3 |
2.94
|
| Really cool psych rock | ||||
| 105 | Red Headed Stranger | Willie Nelson | 2 |
3.34
|
| Another Country album! Still not my thing. | ||||
| 104 | Meat Is Murder | The Smiths | 2 |
3.31
|
| I just can't get on with Morrisey's vocals, I find them really grating! | ||||
| 103 | Melodrama | Lorde | 3 |
3.34
|
| As far as modern music goes, on the pop side of things, I like it | ||||
| 102 | Hard Again | Muddy Waters | 3 |
3.64
|
| More blues, it's fine | ||||
| 101 | Pet Sounds | The Beach Boys | 4 |
3.9
|
| 60s music for me is usually completely overshadowed by The Beatles. This is great. Obviously the singles are the best, but it's all good | ||||
| 100 | Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge | Mudhoney | 3 |
2.83
|
| A bit of a blander listen than I was hoping for, but not bad at all. | ||||
| 99 | The Köln Concert | Keith Jarrett | 2 |
3.36
|
| It's nice background music but the album was too long for me. | ||||
| 98 | At Newport 1960 | Muddy Waters | 3 |
3.57
|
| It's fine as far as old school blues goes. | ||||
| 97 | Vanishing Point | Primal Scream | 3 |
2.81
|
| Kinda cool I suppose. | ||||
| 96 | Cloud Nine | The Temptations | 3 |
3.42
|
| Nice | ||||
| 95 | 1999 | Prince | 2 |
3.61
|
| I just don't get Prince, there I said it. | ||||
| 94 | The Sensual World | Kate Bush | 2 |
3.12
|
| I can kind of appreciate Kate Bush, but it's not my thing. | ||||
| 93 | If You're Feeling Sinister | Belle & Sebastian | 2 |
3.2
|
| Pleasant but a bit boring if I'm honest. | ||||
| 92 | Elephant Mountain | The Youngbloods | 2 |
3.08
|
| It was fine but really don't see how it made it into this list. | ||||
| 91 | Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea | PJ Harvey | 2 |
3.36
|
| Another day, another album that is just fine. | ||||
| 90 | Ctrl | SZA | 1 |
2.91
|
| Couldn't even finish it. | ||||
| 89 | 2112 | Rush | 4 |
3.39
|
| It's a classic for a reason. I'm a big fan of Dream Theater, who were in many ways just a heavier Rush. Outside of a few sings though I've never got into Rush. | ||||
| 88 | Out Of The Blue | Electric Light Orchestra | 3 |
3.64
|
| It's quite bloated but it's not terrible. | ||||
| 87 | Innervisions | Stevie Wonder | 4 |
3.87
|
| One of my all time favourite albums and possibly my favourite by Stevie. | ||||
| 86 | B-52's | The B-52's | 1 |
3.25
|
| It's a no from me. | ||||
| 85 | Machine Gun Etiquette | The Damned | 3 |
3.15
|
| I'm not generally a fan of the classic punk era but I do like The Damned! | ||||
| 84 | 21 | Adele | 3 |
3.71
|
| Good songs but not my bag. | ||||
| 83 | Automatic For The People | R.E.M. | 3 |
3.81
|
| Better than that other REM album on this list. | ||||
| 82 | Tracy Chapman | Tracy Chapman | 3 |
3.77
|
| I get why she is loved, but not for me. | ||||
| 81 | Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul | Otis Redding | 3 |
3.94
|
| Yea it's fine, easy listening. | ||||
| 80 | Kilimanjaro | The Teardrop Explodes | 2 |
2.91
|
| Another 80s pop album, which is definitely not my genre. | ||||
| 79 | Pornography | The Cure | 3 |
3.29
|
| Another classic band/album that I have already experienced enough to know they're not really my thing. I wasn't proven wrong. | ||||
| 78 | For Your Pleasure | Roxy Music | 2 |
2.97
|
| I was already pretty sure Roxy Music wasn't for me. This only proved me right, couldn't finish it. | ||||
| 77 | Chirping Crickets | Buddy Holly & The Crickets | 2 |
3.32
|
| These old school albums are very much of their time. Unfortunately The Beatles have always been as far back as I can go. | ||||
| 76 | Fever To Tell | Yeah Yeah Yeahs | 3 |
3.31
|
| Nice enough, I remember Maps being on Guitar Hero, or Rock Band or something. Nice listen. | ||||
| 75 | Golden Hour | Kacey Musgraves | 2 |
3.11
|
| It's country, and as much as it's pleasant, country doesn't do anything for me. | ||||
| 74 | Nevermind | Nirvana | 4 |
4.39
|
| I'm not as in love with Nirvana as the majority of people seem to be. This is clearly a landmark album though and I can't really fault it. | ||||
| 73 | Under Construction | Missy Elliott | 3 |
3.14
|
| This takes me back 20 years! My brother was really into his early 00's RnB/Hip Hop. Nice listening, for nostalgia's sake, but wouldn't revisit. | ||||
| 72 | Scum | Napalm Death | 4 |
2.05
|
| A landmark album. I am a huge metal head but I can't listen to a great deal of grindcore. I prefer the longer songs, so especially the first half. | ||||
| 71 | Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim | Frank Sinatra | 2 |
3.27
|
| My Dad would have got a kick out of me listening to this for sure. I can respect it but it just doesn't do anything for me. | ||||
| 70 | Screamadelica | Primal Scream | 2 |
3.19
|
| I get why people like this but I don't really think it's my thing. It's fine though. | ||||
| 69 | Here, My Dear | Marvin Gaye | 3 |
3.23
|
| Nice enough for my first Gaye album. The sort of thing my wife and I could probably listen to together. | ||||
| 68 | The Undertones | The Undertones | 4 |
3.25
|
| Of course I know the hits but first time listening to an album. I love punk but generally not the classic stuff. This is better than average though and reminds me of The Dead Kennedys. | ||||
| 67 | Everything Must Go | Manic Street Preachers | 3 |
3.13
|
| Honestly not bad | ||||
| 66 | Sweetheart Of The Rodeo | The Byrds | 2 |
2.81
|
| I gave this a go but country is really not my thing. | ||||
| 65 | Sister | Sonic Youth | 3 |
3.02
|
| Pretty sweet. I don't think I've ever actually listened to Sonic Youth before but I'd check this our again. | ||||
| 64 | Virgin Suicides | Air | 3 |
3.24
|
| A nice relaxing jaunt. | ||||
| 63 | Raising Hell | Run-D.M.C. | 4 |
3.52
|
| Full of bangers. This album has got to be one of the most accessible hip hop albums of all time. Great stuff. | ||||
| 62 | Parklife | Blur | 4 |
3.38
|
| Great album. I vividly remember my sister got a CD player and this album, back in 94, for her 15th birthday. She played this album a lot and I always kinda liked it. Haven't played it in years but it's still great. | ||||
| 61 | John Barleycorn Must Die | Traffic | 3 |
3.16
|
| My Dad was a fan of all things prog, and Traffic were one of his favourites. I have a copy of this on vinyl that belonged to my Dad. I can't say I love it as much as my Dad did, but this is pretty good. | ||||
| 60 | Young Americans | David Bowie | 3 |
3.64
|
| Another day, another Bowie album. Like most I can take it or leave it. It's a nice album to listen to but nothing that really makes me want to come back to it. | ||||
| 59 | Fifth Dimension | The Byrds | 3 |
3.06
|
| I liked this. You could hear the influences this band had on many bands that came after them. | ||||
| 58 | L.A. Woman | The Doors | 3 |
3.68
|
| Never been a huge fan of The Doors, this album is as good as any of the others I heard. A few nice songs and I can see why others like them. | ||||
| 57 | The Sun Rises In The East | Jeru The Damaja | 2 |
2.95
|
| A second hip hop album that pretty much underwhelmed me. It was the first genre I fell for but I guess I'm happy just listening to the hip hop I know, and not too hot on looking for something new. | ||||
| 56 | Step In The Arena | Gang Starr | 2 |
3.18
|
| I dunno, it seems like fairly uninspiring hip hop to me. If anything he sounds as bored as I felt. | ||||
| 55 | First Band On The Moon | The Cardigans | 2 |
3.27
|
| This album is fine. Quite why it is in the list of 1001 greatest albums, I don't know. | ||||
| 54 | Goodbye And Hello | Tim Buckley | 3 |
2.84
|
| Another nice album from the era | ||||
| 53 | We Are Family | Sister Sledge | 3 |
3.48
|
| Banger after banger on this one. Not the sort of music I'd usually choose to listen to, but this is good. | ||||
| 52 | NEU! 75 | Neu! | 3 |
3.1
|
| Mainly instrumental and not half bad. | ||||
| 51 | Pieces Of The Sky | Emmylou Harris | 3 |
3.07
|
| A nice country/folk album. Quite a pleasant listen | ||||
| 50 | Ghosteen | Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds | 4 |
2.99
|
| I'd heard lots of praise for this in recent years and it was pretty good. Will definitely be spinning again. Very synth heavy in places and it's almost like a post-rock album at times | ||||
| 49 | All Directions | The Temptations | 3 |
3.45
|
| Lovely listen, it really is. I can repeat an album that has an 11+ minute funk epic! | ||||
| 48 | Emperor Tomato Ketchup | Stereolab | 2 |
3.03
|
| Yea, not really my thing. | ||||
| 47 | Halcyon Digest | Deerhunter | 2 |
3.06
|
| I found this really bland. I may be holding a prejudice against this band as The Dear Hunter are one of my favourite bands, but people always think I'm talking about this band when I mention them. | ||||
| 46 | Disintegration | The Cure | 3 |
3.8
|
| I don't have too much of a problem with Robert Smith's voice, although I thought I might. This is quite a nice listen but didn't particularly enthrall me. | ||||
| 45 | Before And After Science | Brian Eno | 3 |
3.06
|
| A nice pleasant enough listen. I might revisit one day as this was alright. | ||||
| 44 | Hot Rats | Frank Zappa | 4 |
3.36
|
| This is one that I have on vinyl, an original press that belonged to my dad ❤ I obviously had to bust it out for this. I don't have a great deal of experience with Zappa, outside of this album, but I do really dig this. It's a great listen top to bottom and that fuses jazz with prog rock at the time. Great stuff | ||||
| 43 | Follow The Leader | Korn | 4 |
2.65
|
| Korn have always been one of those bands where I like a handful of songs, but never really fell for any of their albums. Of course this has Freak On a Leash, amongst a few other hits. | ||||
| 42 | The Slim Shady LP | Eminem | 5 |
3.34
|
| This, and Americana by The Offspring, were the first two albums I owned. I was 16 when this album came out and my brother burnt me a cassette tape of it. I have vivid memories riding the bus to college listening to this album on repeat. It was huge to me and totally suckered me in. I loved the follow up album but by like 2003 I was starting to move towards metal and punk rock. I still listen to this album from time to , and rate it highly. | ||||
| 41 | Le Tigre | Le Tigre | 3 |
3.11
|
| Nice female fronted punk. Reminds me of a slightly more modern Souxsie and the Banshees | ||||
| 40 | Fear and Whiskey | Mekons | 3 |
2.64
|
| This is why I am here, to discover bands and albums that I have no clue about. I went into this hoping for good things. It was fine though, nothing special on first listen. | ||||
| 39 | Faith | George Michael | 3 |
3.23
|
| My brother is a big George Michael fan, and I don't mind the odd song. Of course I know Faith and there were a few other nice surprises in there. Considering I don't like 80s pop, pretty much in all cases, this was nice. It was bordering on a 4 if I'm honest. | ||||
| 38 | Brothers In Arms | Dire Straits | 3 |
3.72
|
| This album frustrated me a bit. I really liked parts of it, but it's all the 80s production that puts me off. I think if this album had been recorded and released 10 years earlier, I would've liked it more. | ||||
| 37 | My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts | Brian Eno | 2 |
2.77
|
| I'll be honest, I got quite bored of this and couldn't finish it. | ||||
| 36 | Fetch The Bolt Cutters | Fiona Apple | 2 |
3.19
|
| I wanted to like this, really I did. I can kind of appreciate it but it just isn't for me unfortunately. | ||||
| 35 | Fleet Foxes | Fleet Foxes | 4 |
3.47
|
| Nice to have a more current release chucked in the mix. Not sure how I've never heard these guys, although I am aware who they are. I'll probably give this another spin, thus is really nice and the production is really good. | ||||
| 34 | The Rising | Bruce Springsteen | 3 |
3.06
|
| Yea this wasn't bad I suppose. I've not listened to a full Springsteen album before. It kinda sounded how I expected it. | ||||
| 33 | Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) | The Kinks | 3 |
3.39
|
| My first Kinks album. It was fine but I was a bit underwhelmed, it didn't feel to have any classic songs on there. | ||||
| 32 | Illmatic | Nas | 3 |
3.62
|
| I don't listen to as much hip hop as I used to, but this is pretty good. | ||||
| 31 | Queen Of Denmark | John Grant | 3 |
3.18
|
| Loving the lyrics on this. I'll probably give it another go sometime. Nothing game changing but lyrically interesting if nothing else. | ||||
| 30 | Skylarking | XTC | 2 |
3.04
|
| Despite it not being my thing, it had moments that I didn't mind. | ||||
| 29 | Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band | Beatles | 5 |
4.26
|
| One of my fave Beatles albums. Its punching for their best, for me, but just falls slightly short. Still undeniably great though. | ||||
| 28 | More Songs About Buildings And Food | Talking Heads | 2 |
3.4
|
| This album did very little for me. I can't even really remember much about it and I've only just finished it! | ||||
| 27 | Oxygène | Jean-Michel Jarre | 3 |
3.07
|
| Nice, this is like the French answer to Mike Oldfield. | ||||
| 26 | Gasoline Alley | Rod Stewart | 2 |
2.95
|
| 25 | Ritual De Lo Habitual | Jane's Addiction | 4 |
3.18
|
| I've never had a problem with Jane's Addiction, however nothing I've heard has ever made me want to listen any further. This was a really nice surprise. I liked this way more than I thought I would. I will 100% be spinning this again, great stuff. | ||||
| 24 | Tragic Songs of Life | The Louvin Brothers | 2 |
2.55
|
| There's a reason I don't listen to anything pre 60s. I'm sure this is great, it's just not pushing my buttons. | ||||
| 23 | Planet Rock: The Album | Afrika Bambaataa | 3 |
2.81
|
| I've never heard of these guys before and had high hopes, based on the album cover alone. This was fine, but very of its time. Unfortunately the 80s aren't a time that I particularly love so it wasn't as enjoyable for me as I'd hoped. | ||||
| 22 | Floodland | Sisters Of Mercy | 2 |
3.01
|
| This album exactly how I expected an 80s goth pop album to sound. I'm not a fan of 80s pop for the most part and this has too much of that era in its sound. I'd be interested to hear any of their later albums, and may give the band another try at some point. | ||||
| 21 | Deep Purple In Rock | Deep Purple | 3 |
3.34
|
| A pretty solid album. The songs aren't quite as memorable as those on Machine Head, but still really good. | ||||
| 20 | Bad Company | Bad Company | 3 |
3.26
|
| Pretty middle of the road rock, or at least that's how it feels to me. It's alright. | ||||
| 19 | Future Days | Can | 4 |
2.99
|
| Now this is the weird shit I've been waiting for. Never heard of Can before but I love this type of music. It feels very ahead of it's time. I span this a couple of times today and will do so again as it was a trip. Keep this stuff coming. | ||||
| 18 | Kid A | Radiohead | 4 |
3.7
|
| It took me a long time to really get around to giving Radiohead a good go. I started to delve into them just over a year ago. I've listened to all their albums, and although I have no clear favourites this is up there. I know this album will continue to grow over time, but at the moment it is a solid 4. | ||||
| 17 | Strangeways, Here We Come | The Smiths | 2 |
3.44
|
| This wasn't a bad listen musically, but I am REALLY not a fan of Morrisey's vocal delivery, I find it kind of grating. It certainly effects my enjoyment of this album and brings the score down. I know I won't be revisiting this but I'm OK with that. | ||||
| 16 | From Elvis In Memphis | Elvis Presley | 3 |
3.37
|
| My first Elvis album experience. Not bad by any stretch, and I can see why people are such huge fans. I would've liked to listen to this with my Dad ❤ | ||||
| 15 | Red Dirt Girl | Emmylou Harris | 2 |
2.86
|
| Nice enough listen. Not much grabbed me but pleasant enough. | ||||
| 14 | Surrealistic Pillow | Jefferson Airplane | 3 |
3.55
|
| Yea this was nice. You can't really go wrong with all these classic 60s albums. I already knew a few songs and I'll likely revisit. | ||||
| 13 | Raw Like Sushi | Neneh Cherry | 1 |
2.69
|
| I went in open minded, but I felt this wouldn't be my thing. It's got that 80s vibe, and I am really not a fan of 80s pop. I'll continue to spin these sort of albums to see if I can be surprised but this one didn't do it for me at all. | ||||
| 12 | Hotel California | Eagles | 3 |
3.6
|
| A very pleasant listen. I obviously knew the hits but also liked things like the little orchestral interlude. Not a band I've ever has much inclination to delve further into, but this is nice. | ||||
| 11 | Every Picture Tells A Story | Rod Stewart | 3 |
3.23
|
| I always kinda liked Maggie May. I never would have listened to this normally and neither of my parents were particularly fans. I felt I'd like this more than any of his later albums. It's nicely bluesy and country in places. A nice listen for sure. | ||||
| 10 | Live At The Witch Trials | The Fall | 3 |
2.64
|
| Not bad sound, I guess they were pioneers of this genre? Not what I was expecting but pretty good. | ||||
| 9 | The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators | The 13th Floor Elevators | 3 |
2.98
|
| I recognise the album cover but never listened to this band before. Due to the name I was going into this hoping it would be way more Psychedelic! It was pretty good though and I'd give it another shot sometime. | ||||
| 8 | Machine Head | Deep Purple | 4 |
3.6
|
| Another classic I never got round to checking out. Of course I already know the majority of the songs. I've always loved Highway Star, and it is still the highlight of the album as far as I'm concerned. Just a really great rock album that is rightfully loved by many. | ||||
| 7 | On The Beach | Neil Young | 4 |
3.47
|
| I can't say I've ever listened to a Neil Young album, so going in blind here. I'm not sure I even know any of the songs on this record. It's always weird rating an album with so much history and personal connection, when you have none yourself. I love that this COULD have been hugely influential on my music taste, had I been exposed to it as a kid. This starts of nicely enough and has a bluesy/country feel that I was not expecting. I can hear some Dylan influence in here as well. I gave this a second spin immediately after first, so I guess it was pretty good. | ||||
| 6 | Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black | Public Enemy | 3 |
3.21
|
| I don't listen to a great deal of old school hip hop, it's basically NWA I listen to. This is fine though, I've head some Public Enemy before, and definitely Bring Da Noise, due to being a metal head. You could argue that song was the precursor of Nu Metal. I might give this another spin in the future. | ||||
| 5 | A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector | Various Artists | 3 |
3.25
|
| It's a fun Christmas album, but still a Christmas album. I'm not someone who listens to certain music in certain seasons, other than at Christmas of course. I knew the majority these songs, and they are Christmas classics. A really good Christmas album is still just a Christmas album. I would never have much use for it outside of the season. Due to this I can't really rate it highly, even though it does what it should really well. | ||||
| 4 | Master Of Puppets | Metallica | 5 |
3.72
|
| Metallica have been in my musical DNA from a very early age, thanks to my older brother. I fell in love with them hard, myself, when I was about 20. They were my gateway into metal and for the longest time they were my all time favourite band. They have since been surpassed by Coheed and Cambria, but Master of Puppets remains a top tier Metallica album for me, as well as being one of the greatest representations of metal at it's finest. I love all the songs here, with the exception of Leper Messiah. That song leaves a bit to be desired but every other song is a banger. They've all been reviewed a million times but the longer songs Orion, and the title track are the best for my money. Not to say the others are slouches. Battery may be the single greatest metal opener, alongside Angel of Death and Clenching the Fists of Dissent. My first live experience watching Metallica was Download Festival 2006. It was the 20 year anniversary of this album and they played it in it's entirety and I kid you not when I sat I had an out of body experience! I there my whole being, body and soul into that show and was lucky to make it out alive! Perfection, or close enough. | ||||
| 3 | American Idiot | Green Day | 5 |
3.72
|
| Where to start? I got into Green Day back in '02, when I was 19. I played the shit out of International Superhits! When American Idiot dropped I had just seen Green Day headline Leeds festival (my first festival and Green experience) so to say I was in the height of my fanboy phase is an understatement. I remember watching the American Idiot music video weeks before and no joke, every single damn one of my friends owned this album. The end of 2004 and going into 2005 was a great time in my life and this album was the soundtrack. It was everywhere I went. House parties? Gaming with friends? While I was at work? This album was on constant rotation by me and everyone I hung out with. It was huge. It was my favourite Green Day album for the longest time but I rarely listen to it now. I have listened to it so many times that I kinda ruined it for myself. It will always be a 5* album for me though. The one song I can still happily revisit is Jesus of Suburbia. That song has everything. The other highlights for me are American Idiot, Holiday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, St. Jimmy, Give Me Novacaine, Wake Me Up When September Ends and Homecoming. Pretty much the whole album. | ||||
| 2 | Document | R.E.M. | 2 |
3.55
|
| I had a friend who, about 20 years ago, used to play REM's greatest hits all the time. I was not a huge fan of them back then; some of the hits aren't bad but this is my first album experience. I'm not shocked that nothing here has changed my mind on the band. It's the guys voice I find a bit annoying I suppose, and the fact I just find this music really bland. More power to the people who like this but I like a bit more meat on my musical bones. Ohh, Strange starts off a bit like a watered down Green Day song, that was the highlight of the album. I can appreciate the hits from this album; they are solid enough. There are actually a few other flashes in here that go beyond mediocre. | ||||
| 1 | Exodus | Bob Marley & The Wailers | 3 |
3.94
|
| It's fine, it's old school reggae, it's Bob. Easy listening for a Sunday morning, but doesn't get me going. Got Three Little Birds though, and that will always make me think of my Dad. | ||||
