N.W.A.
4/5
I liked it.
The Flaming Lips
4/5
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
They were very good. It's a shame they banged each other and ruined the duo. The downside was my mum kept trying to sing along
Harry Nilsson
3/5
Fun wee bangers
Common
3/5
Ye
The Auteurs
2/5
This is boring.
Tears For Fears
4/5
More like Cheers for fears - songs for a big cheer and because whoop whoop this is class
Ella Fitzgerald
3/5
Fuck this is long.
Echo And The Bunnymen
5/5
It's a cold October day in 1984, you're driving down to the South of England. You rummage through the unfamiliar car and find a tape from 4 years before and you put it in. You finally see the sign for Brighton as the end of Happy Death Men plays. A fitting song.
Björk
3/5
Not my favourite album by her but IT'S ALRIGHT
Beastie Boys
4/5
Kick it!
Coldplay
3/5
A really strong first half but it really dips near the end. just like the bands trajectory.
Crosby, Stills & Nash
4/5
A full extra star for Helplessly Hoping
Faust
4/5
Very enjoyable, weird I never knew of them considering they're like proto-post rock. I'll enjoy listening to it again
U2
2/5
Absolutely not.
Supergrass
4/5
That was enjoyable.
Black Sabbath
4/5
Alot more mellow than I expected it to be. I never gave Black Sabbath a proper listen really
LCD Soundsystem
5/5
The "North American scum-someone Great-all my friends" run of songs is unbelievable
Guns N' Roses
3/5
I think Guns N Roses mostly suck but they do have some bangers
Portishead
4/5
The Pretty Things
3/5
Not bad but I feel like this same album has been done better. Some nice guitar work.
Buena Vista Social Club
2/5
Nice background music
Led Zeppelin
4/5
We were driving through the hills in Albania and this was class music for it. I was bombing down the mountain to stairway to heaven
Run-D.M.C.
3/5
A bit of the same but fun and short
Siouxsie And The Banshees
3/5
I really enjoyed this. 3 stars is harsh but 3.5
Parliament
3/5
This was FUN
Kate Bush
3/5
Some pipes on your wan. Not my favourite songs by her but definitely an interesting album
Kraftwerk
4/5
I actually thought this was going to be one of those albums where it's like "yeh OK they're one of the OGs and they made new paths but now it's a bit dated and boring" but I really enjoyed it entirely. I listened to it a few years ago on the actual autobahn and I was way too stressed out to enjoy it. I hate not having half stars because 4 is a wee bit too high.
Eminem
2/5
I liked this when I was young and there's still some good songs and it was important 25 years ago but I'm going to rate it through modern lens
Pavement
4/5
I love pavement.
Black Sabbath
3/5
I enjoyed this alot, I think this Ozward Ozbourne is going places
Rage Against The Machine
4/5
Pure class, I wanted to crash the car and shoot a fascist (RIP CK)
Jean-Michel Jarre
3/5
Kill jester
Giant Sand
1/5
Shite
The Clash
3/5
Not a bad listen but definitely not my favourite clash songs
Steely Dan
3/5
It was nice but ronan said it was a solid 4.4 so I went in with high expectations. IT WAS NOT
Baaba Maal
3/5
Good background music, each song was different enough!
Dire Straits
3/5
Great guitar
Beck
4/5
It's been years since I listened to this album and it was great revisiting it. I really enjoyed it.
Don McLean
3/5
American Pie is a banger and the rest of the album is quite nice. A decent listen
A Tribe Called Quest
4/5
This was class
Tito Puente
3/5
I started calling everyone toots and it made me want to go on the sesh in a weird way
The Police
2/5
Probably a 2.5, I was kinda dreading listening to this album and held it off but it was alright
Lauryn Hill
3/5
It was quite good
Klaxons
3/5
I used to really like this but listening back I wasn't that fussed.
Judas Priest
2/5
Could not be arsed with them. Not terrible, it's just that everything they ever done was done better by someone better.
Alexander 'Skip' Spence
2/5
I got very bored of this. Took like 3 days to finish. Sorry pal
The Undertones
4/5
Forgot how many bangers they have. Still very toothless for a Derry band nevermind 70s Troubles punk, which is impressive in its own right.
Mudhoney
4/5
I thought this was class. You can clearly tell where Nirvana got their influences. Some ripping guitar.
The Black Keys
3/5
I loved this album but I feel like they're slowly becoming cringe, but it was entertaining me and it was long. I think it'd be a 3.5 really. 3 is harsh
The Divine Comedy
3/5
I appreciate this and the bizarre lyrics are great but sometimes the chamber pop aspect is a bit too much for me.
Soul II Soul
3/5
This was better than I expected, some bops
R.E.M.
4/5
Not my favourite REM album but still very good and I would listen to it again
Prince
3/5
I think Prince is overrated. Not bad by any stretch but still overrated.
Tortoise
4/5
How haven't I heard this before? I enjoyed it
Terence Trent D'Arby
2/5
I don't know what to think of this so I'm giving it 2
Miles Davis
4/5
This was so nice. I love long songs and I never heard these before. I'll listen to this again
Arcade Fire
4/5
This loses a full star because Butler was a creep.
Megadeth
3/5
Unreal guitar but Mustaves voice annoys me. Peace Sells rips though.
T. Rex
3/5
I expected not to like this but I recognised pretty much all of the songs and enjoyed it more than I should.
Johnny Cash
4/5
The Lemonheads
2/5
Scrubs ass music
Creedence Clearwater Revival
2/5
No thanks
R.E.M.

Nostalgia will not let me give this anything less than a 5.
Public Image Ltd.
3/5
I liked this, very underground dindgy vibes
Pere Ubu
3/5
The Temptations
3/5
This was a fun little number
Method Man
3/5
3 seems low but 4 is too high. But I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Good lad for having a song called PLO style
PJ Harvey
4/5
Pj Harvey is the queen and I'll forgive her for supporting fox hunting
Tricky
3/5
I thought I'd like this more due to the trip hopness off it but I wasn't arsed to listen to it
Funkadelic
4/5
Class. I love the absolute jarring change of tone from the title song to the 2nd song.
Jethro Tull
3/5
I thought this would suck but I was enticed by the use of the flute.
Magazine
3/5
I enjoyed this. Some bangers. It's the baseline of what I enjoy but doesn't fully scratch an itch. 3.5* in reality
Elvis Costello
3/5
I'm not really into Elvis Constello but I also can't help but enjoy the songs at the same time?
ABBA
4/5
I owe you an apology ABBA, I wasn't familiar with your game
Neil Young
3/5
Motörhead
3/5
Better than I thought
Fugees
3/5
Pure bops
Merle Haggard
2/5
Rod Stewart
2/5

2/5
I was dreading this and I was right to.
Sugar
2/5
Scrubs ass music
Lana Del Rey
2/5
Boring.

4/5
Some of his best
DJ Shadow
4/5
Iconic
The Waterboys
4/5
I'm pretty sure my mum told me I'm conceived to this album which is maybe why I have a soft spot for it. Title track, we will not be lovers, world party. All class. I like the sweet thing cover aswell. 3 1/2
Little Simz
4/5
I have a lot of time for her. Probably 3.5
M.I.A.
3/5
I like some of her songs but not really on this album. I didn't hate it.
AC/DC
2/5
I actually don't think they're good
David Bowie

Not my favourite Bowie album but very consistent and a classic. Andy Warhol is one of my favs

4/5
This absolutely slapped
Pulp
3/5
Pulp are good craic to be fair
Sonic Youth
5/5
I drive too fast to this
The Cardigans
3/5
It was nice but 🤷♂️
Marty Robbins
3/5
A bit samey but alright

4/5
Class. Nostalgia does some carrying though

3/5
I like king crimson but this isn't it
Patti Smith
4/5
I like this. Cool dude
De La Soul
3/5
Fun
Queen
3/5
It was alright. The guitar absolutely ripped.
Slint
4/5
I liked that. Great music to have on when I don't know what to listen to. Probably a high 3.
Nico
2/5
I like Nicos voice but she's better off in a group than going solo, the wee nazi
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
He is experienced
Norah Jones
3/5
It was nice for a quiet morning. A bit nostalgic.
The Specials
3/5
Never rated them that much. Not terrible
The Rolling Stones
2/5
Cba
The Flaming Lips
3/5
Beatles
4/5
I actually never really give early Beatles a chance but yeh fair enough
Blue Cheer
3/5
Yeh alright, it probably slapped in the 60s
Frank Ocean
4/5
Pyramids is such a belter. Great album
PJ Harvey
3/5
Not my favourite Pj Harvey album but still good
a-ha
4/5
I had a good time listening to this. 3.5
Van Halen
2/5
If I played instruments I wouldn't have done that
Cream
2/5
Wasn't terrible. A high 2.
White Denim
4/5
That was pretty decent. Never heard of these dudes but expected some shite country music but was happily proved wrong
CHIC
3/5
Pretty fun
Elliott Smith
3/5
Very nice. 3.5
FKA twigs
4/5
I liked it but Amy didn't. I bet it's good on headphones
Meat Puppets
4/5
Proto-nirvana. Class though.
The Zombies
3/5
I thought this was going to be heavy metal and not beach boys. Alright though
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Since I've Been Loving You in such a good song that this album is bumped up to a 4
The White Stripes
4/5
I remember not liking this that much after elephant as a teen but that's obvious now because it's definitely a much more mature album and I was a wee soft child. I really liked it and while it doesn't have the same level of bangers it just showcases how strong they were.
Jeru The Damaja
3/5
This was nice. Really chill and well produced. I enjoyed it
Paul Simon
3/5
Perfectly fine. But I think it's overrated
Neil Young
4/5
I was obsessed with this when I first moved to Manchester so it's up there for me even if he does look like a sleep paralysis demon
Teenage Fanclub
3/5
Some nice bits. Not unpleasant by any means
Oasis
3/5
I know this is supposed to be one of their best but it only has a few songs that are actually worth it. It's not a bad listen overall.
Wilco
3/5
A bit too long but nice. No real standouts.
Les Rythmes Digitales
2/5
Way too long. Some bops, but if it was half the length I'd give it a 3
4/5
Fair enough Beatles, you were pretty good
The Darkness
2/5
I used to hate them when I was 13 but I went in with an open mind and disregarded my younger self because I had just discovered Radiohead and the Mars Volta and therefore was insufferable. My teenage self may have been pretentious but he was still insightful. Shite. An extra point since it was quite short.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
4/5
This was fucking class. I really enjoyed it
Radiohead
5/5
Radiohead always gets 5 stars. It's not their best album but still has some of their best songs. Thoms voice is incredible in this. Bones is underrated.
Brian Wilson
3/5
Very samey but not bad
Iron Maiden
3/5
Pretty decent, never been a fan but I wasn't bored. I like that they have a song that's Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden on the album Iron Maiden
The Black Crowes
2/5
Fuck me that was shite
New Order
4/5
I love new order but this album isn't my favourite. 3.5
Edit: I got technique and this mixed up. This is unreal.
Calexico
3/5
It was decent, I enjoyed it especially after that Black Crowes shite
Alice Cooper
3/5
This actually surprised me, I expected to hate it but it was alright.
Otis Redding
3/5
Enjoyable, a nice listen
Fishbone
2/5
Sucked
Willie Nelson
3/5
I wonder if he's ever smoked a joint
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2/5
I actually quite like them but this kind of sucks. Lsd is likely required
James Brown
3/5
It gets samey but a good listen
Talvin Singh
3/5
I was happy to get a bit ethnic in here
Suicide
4/5
Public Enemy
3/5
Some good bits but I kind of zoned out
Beatles
4/5
A great album with some of the best Beatles songs but loses a star for some filler. 3.5
Everything But The Girl
2/5
Some bangers but meh
New Order
4/5
I'm such a sucker for 80s synths and this is no exception.
Radiohead
5/5
5 stars no notes. I also listened to the B sides like man O war and pearly because I want more. I also listened to the unfinished version of Nude because that's also amazing. OK I had loads of notes
Hüsker Dü
2/5
This bored me. Like, it wasn't terrible. Just meh
Beach House
4/5
I'm extremely bias because when it came out I would look out the window of the steamy Manchester bus, listening to this on my broken iPod that needed me to hold the aux cable way too hard, and hope that a Zoey Deschannel manic pixie dream girl would see me and think I was mysterious and break my heart.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
Riding a fine line between chill and boring.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
A bit more happening than Fulfillingness. Probably 3.5
Arctic Monkeys
5/5
Banger after banger
Alice Cooper
2/5
Meh
Frank Sinatra
3/5
What the fucking is making whoopy? This guy was friends with gangsters and he can't even say fuck
King Crimson
4/5
Class album except Moonchild which is shite. Great cover. Fuck Gary
Sheryl Crow
2/5
I wanted to like it but I didn't so I'm sorry crowgirl
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
I'm ashamed that I haven't really listened to a lot of them but I they're definitely good.
Dexys Midnight Runners
4/5
This was good craic. 3.5
Peter Tosh
3/5
Absolutely fine. I think the album is about weed.
Grateful Dead
3/5
I never knew they were supposed to sound like this. Decent enough
Nirvana
5/5
This has been on my rotation for about 25 years at this point so it has to get a 5. Territorial Pissings blew me away when I was a kid and it's still on most of my playlist.
Joy Division
4/5
Yup
Rahul Dev Burman
3/5
I enjoyed this, some wee bangers. I'd definitely sneak a few of these in if I was a dj in a hipster bar
The Offspring
3/5
Just good fun
Hot Chip
4/5
Flumes makes me want to abuse my body. When they're good, they're amazing. Cba with a lot of the slower stuff
The Cure
4/5
That was fucking unreal. That 80s brooding synth just gets me in the giblets
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
Not my favourite album by them but a nice listen
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
2/5
This actually was pretty shit. I was never aware of how much Tom Petty sucked
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
3/5
It was alright, interesting but I wouldn't go back to it
Metallica
4/5
Hell yeah this ruled
David Bowie
4/5
Great album, the ambience bit was a nice touch. Maybe I wouldn't be in the mood for this album some days but today I am
David Bowie
4/5
Weird Bowie is the Best Bowie
Dwight Yoakam
2/5
Inoffensive but boring NEXT
The Band
4/5
What a great group of lads
Digital Underground
2/5
Too horny
Eurythmics
3/5
A lot less polished which I liked. A surprising album
Janelle Monáe
4/5
I enjoyed this. It became more bizarre and unhinged as it went on and that is how I think life should be
Taylor Swift
2/5
I honestly think she is shite. She has some good songs but absolute fucking droll
Adele
4/5
I want to be hipster about this but every song is genuinely great. She still shouldn't have headlined Glastonbury tho
Iggy Pop
4/5
Iggy and Bowie is such a winning combination . A pure joy to listen to. An idiot he is not.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
Nice. Relaxed.
Yes
4/5
I used to like this album a lot more than now. Technically it's impressive and enjoyable but also feels empty?
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Woah this was darker.
The Pogues
4/5
Pure class.
Little Richard
3/5
That was fun wee time.
Spiritualized
3/5
Some great parts but some filler. It got better as it went on
Deep Purple
3/5
I also thought I'd hate this but it surprised me. 3 arms out of 5
Miles Davis
3/5
Very pleasant. It was good Easter egg making music
808 State
3/5
This is certainly music
Todd Rundgren
4/5
I enjoyed this. A weird fun time
Talking Heads
4/5
Unreal. Heaven makes me want to do karaoke with a load of japanese alcoholic company men
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
4/5
What the hell, this was unreal. Brilliant guitar. Pj hasn't heard of him which annoyed me because he's made me listen to so much wank folk country music and never touched on this
The Rolling Stones
4/5
I know very little about the stones other than by osmosis but Okay they can be pretty good
The White Stripes
4/5
Just raw and wriggling.
Prince
2/5
I just could not be arsed with Prince. Too many girls screaming in this aswell for some reason.
Pavement
4/5
I don't know what to say. Pavement good
Lorde
3/5
Aye it's fine. Fair play to her but nothing that really stood out and spoke to me .
George Michael
2/5
Yeh no
D'Angelo
3/5
Vibes Indeed
Rocket From The Crypt
3/5
Some bangers but a bit repetitive
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
Short and sweet. Brilliant album for cooking on a Sunday. Good album cover.
Boston
2/5
Longtime is good but very samey.
Christina Aguilera
2/5
I admit I skimmed through songs . It's not bad, just not for me and extremely long
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
I never really gave this a chance because it was slower but it's honestly very good, each song standouts. The boss really is the boss. I also got my 5k personal best listening to it
Björk
4/5
Vëry gœd
The Byrds
4/5
The first song I thought "right this is going to be one of those albums that was groundbreaking at the time but now it sounds a bit lacking" but the more it went on the better it got. Especially after CTA. Very textured sounds. Mind Gardens was insane on headphones. I particularly liked Everybody's been burned and why
N.E.R.D
2/5
I don't know how I thought NERD was but it wasn't this. This would be good if it's your friends band from music school and they're doing a gig as a bit of fun. Otherwise, CBA
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
Elvis Costello's voice just doesn't do it for me but I like the actual songs . It was also a decent length for an album and a decent enough time
Elbow
4/5
Good Times forever
David Bowie
4/5
I love the weirdness. Peak Weird Bowie
Earth, Wind & Fire
3/5
A fun time but I did zone out a bit. But definitely full of jams
Orbital
4/5
I always liked Halcyon. The rest sounded like a sonic the hedgehog music so I was very into it. Probably a 3.7
Jungle Brothers
3/5
Nice background music if not samey . 2.5
Creedence Clearwater Revival
2/5
Booker T. & The MG's
3/5
It's like that Rick and Morty episode with "human music"
Massive Attack
4/5
GENRE DEFINING
Aphex Twin
5/5
The best beepboops
Depeche Mode
3/5
I just like synth
Bonnie Raitt
2/5
I just didn't enjoy this sorry Bonnie
Justin Timberlake
3/5
I was dreading this but it was honestly alright. Too long like a lot of these 90s-00s early albums tend to be . 2.5
OutKast
4/5
I understand these were essentially two different solo albums and they don't thematically go together but there's a 5/5 album between the two of these once you cut out a lot of the fluff. Some great songs in speakerboxx and the first half of The Love Below is chock-full of bangers until it just kind of veers off. 3.5 overall
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
Every song is great. The cherry on top was it was the exact length as my drive to work which is satisfyingly
Rufus Wainwright
3/5
I used to love this in my 20s but for some reason now I don't
Throwing Muses
4/5
Never heard of these guys before but that was great fun
The Velvet Underground
4/5
I'm a big shamed to admit I haven't listened to this but you can see why they're still popular now. That album suits so many different generations. A great time
The Chemical Brothers
4/5
This made me want to do drugs
3/5
I always thought this album was a little too poppy but I still enjoyed it. It was definitely the start of the decline of Muse.
Fela Kuti
4/5
This was great fun but trust me to listen to it the only day it's raining
5/5
Come on , this is cover to cover certified perfection. It's not even my favourite album by him but it's just objectively
Pixies
5/5
Classssss
Buzzcocks
3/5
Good
Soundgarden
4/5
A great albums for drinking loads of cans under a bridge when you're 16
Kid Rock
1/5
Why do we have to listen to this before we die? I honestly think this is the worst thing I've listened to. Absolute unadulterated horse cum
The xx
3/5
They're a weird one because they're clearly good. Jamie xx is a good writer and musician. Their songs are inoffensive but the powers at be were trying to make them headliners which they are not. They're a shoulder band made to fill up playlists but a good one.
Led Zeppelin
3/5
Not their best one but a decent listen
Tim Buckley
4/5
I listen to this often. Pleasant Street is such a tune.
Buck Owens
3/5
Absolutely fine but I wouldn't listen again.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
Hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah
Eels
4/5
Needs more songs from shrek
The Verve
4/5
Lots of Mancunian memories to this.
David Holmes
3/5
I remember having the James Bond song in my sex playlist when I was 20 and now I look back confused at this jarring decision but luckily no one ever had to endure it .
