Surfer Rosa

Pixies

2/5

The Poet

Bobby Womack

2/5

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

This album was my childhood

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

A couple of classics on here, very representative of early hip-hop.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Classic rock, first couple weren't really my speed, but it gets better as it goes on.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

5/5

One of the best hip hop albums ever made

Eagles

2/5

Meh. 70s rock isnt my fave, and this album doesn't even have any of their classics

Basket of Light

Pentangle

2/5

Not really my thing because I am neither a hick nor high on psychedelics

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

2/5

I want to like arcade fire but there's not enough here for me

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

3/5

I didn't expect to enjoy this but was happily proven wrong. His voice is great and that swayed it for me

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

3/5

It just as well I agree with his politics because I don't think his music is particularly good. The exception I've found is Home Front. IDK, I understand why the man is important, but I don't particularly care to listen to his music.

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

5/5

They just don't make them like they used to huh? Impossible not to feel summery when you can listen to this in the sun. I've never wanted a Pina colada more than when I listen to this at work.

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

Aight

Country Life

Roxy Music

3/5

Gets an extra mark just for the album cover

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Chill jazz, can't fault it really

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

2/5

Not my kind of jazz, a bit all over the ye place

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

2/5

Gentle, doesn't have the best the kinks have to offer if you ask me

Bad

Michael Jackson

5/5

Its the King of Pop at his zenith. This album might not have sold as many as Thriller, but its still damn good.

Blur

3/5

First couple of tracks are classics, I need another run at the rest to properly review the album

The Clash

3/5

The other Clash album was better, but its still half decent

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

Free bird - that is all

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

They called him the king for a reason, and he's pretty damn good.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

3/5

Quite fun actually, one I'll come back to

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

2/5

Good voice, but a 12 minute song should be a crime

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

1/5

It says a lot that an album with 17 songs has not one worth listening to twice

Urban Hymns

The Verve

4/5

Pretty great, shame about the copyright

Good Old Boys

Randy Newman

2/5

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

3/5

Mental, frankly. Still, I sort of enjoyed it

The Band

2/5

Nothing really stood out, nothing wrong per se, just not very inspiring

John Prine

2/5

Mid country

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

2/5

Nothing memorable here

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

IT's okay. Not come on Eillen though

Parklife

Blur

3/5

A couple of classics on here, but I still don't get the hype around Blur

Immigrés

Youssou N'Dour

3/5

Kinda fun, not what I'd usually listen to but it has its place

Sulk

The Associates

2/5

Very shrill, not my bag

2112

Rush

4/5

Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

I'm starting to realise I'm a sucker for latin music

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

1/5

So this is what happens when white americans make music with zero black influence huh

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

3/5

Gets an extra star for patriotism, but this album doesn't grab me sadly

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Not bad actually, Janis I was not familiar with your game

B-52's

The B-52's

3/5

Kinda wack but I can understand the appeal at the time

The Specials

3/5

I wish i could give a half star

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

This would go so hard if I was driving a truck through Texas after divorcing my wife. But I'm not, so it doesn't.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

Damn we lost we lost a real one in Prince.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Stevie Fricking Wonder

Feast of Wire

Calexico

2/5

This album is all over the place. I can't place its style or themes. It's not intrinsically bad, but its pretty strange.

Tommy

The Who

2/5

I'm starting to question this list. Pinball wizard alone doesn't qualify this album as one of the greats.

Ctrl

SZA

2/5

She says pussy a LOT

NEU! 75

Neu!

2/5

Yikes

What's Going On

2/5

Meh af

Kenya

4/5

It's classic fleetwood Mac, cant complain really

Garbage

3/5

Not bad I guess. Wouldn't queue for them

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

This was the most formative album of my childhood. It's perfect, no notes.
