In The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson

What's That Noise? by Coldcut

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega

Odelay by Beck

Zombie by Fela Kuti

Permission to Land by The Darkness

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession by Laura Nyro

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts

LP1 by FKA twigs

Bare boomers giving this album hate because it doesn't have a guitar on it, but it's a modern classic, and incredibly influential.

American IV: The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash

Went into this with high expectations. As others have noted, if it'd been half the length it would've been a more powerful collection of songs. Some of these covers are shite, some are really good. So a 3 I shall be rating.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye

Teen Dream by Beach House

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra

Dithered over rating this a two but in the end decided that's what I deserves. Frank's voice and the arrangements and lyrics are decent, but every single sounds the fucking same, and it makes for a very boring listening experience.

Green by R.E.M.

A Grand Don't Come For Free by The Streets

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl

Close To The Edge by Yes

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club

Born To Be With You by Dion

Like being spoonfed warm diarrhoea.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys

Garbage by Garbage

Two decent singles can't save this from being an absolute snooze fest. I've no doubt Garbage inspired countless imitators (looking at you beabadoobee, Wolf Alice et al.) but it's pretty bland stuff for me.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.

Went into it expecting to hate it, but it was actually pretty good. John Lydon is a talentless hack, so I can only imagine this album is decent despite his involvement. In fact, the music is the best bit, the vocals are sort of there...so kind of proves my point.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis

The Wall by Pink Floyd

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause

Given the poor rating and reviews I thought I'd hate this. I actually quite enjoyed it. I think a few people need to learn that decent music can be produced by people who are a) not men; and b) don't play rock.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies

Wild Gift by X

Calenture by The Triffids

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Fun House by The Stooges

Nighthawks At The Diner by Tom Waits

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I found something very cringeworthy about this one. The crowd laughing and cheering at lame, unfunny asides and jokes. The stories. Tom Waits' voice generally. Maybe I'll enjoy his other records more when they come up.

The Bends by Radiohead

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal

Remain In Light by Talking Heads

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement

Emergency On Planet Earth by Jamiroquai

I get the feeling their other albums might be better?

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly

Manassas by Stephen Stills

Yeah, it's kind of meandering and a bit long, but I'm surprising myself by giving this a 3. I fucking hate country, but don't mind this (maybe because it's 'country rock'?). Maybe the album's shite but my expectations were so low the final score has been inflated? That is the mystery of the 1,001 Albums Generator.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen

Diamond Life by Sade

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon

The Notorious Byrd Brothers by The Byrds

Music by Madonna

Really wanted to enjoy this but outside of about two songs it was shite. Utterly dull.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter

Groovin' by The Young Rascals

God this was fucking boring.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys

I actually quite like the Pet Shop Boys, but this was tedious shite.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac

Enjoyed Rumours but this thing fucking dragged.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise

Trafalgar by Bee Gees

I was excited by the prospect of a Bee Gees album, having heard various songs of theirs over the years. However, this was fucking maudlin dreck. Goodness only knows how bad their other output must be for this to have been worthy of inclusion on the list.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears

Your New Favourite Band by The Hives

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.

Again, musically excellent but held back from 5 stars by the presence of talentless hack John Lydon.

Be by Common

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees

Saw this was another early-00s album by a British band described as being "indie rock" and thought it'd be more absolute dreck. However, like a lot of other listeners, I was pleasantly surprised! Not sure what happened to them as a band, but this release is well worth a listen!

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

Drunk by Thundercat

I've never really understood the hype for this album. It has some really solid songs, but Thundercat's weedy falsetto is too annoying to carry an album this long, and there's a lot of filler.
