Highway to Hell

AC/DC · 2 likes

3/5

These guys love sex! Get what you pay for with AC/DC it's generic hard rock but someone's gotta do it. If you want blood (you got it) is a brilliant tune!

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

1/5

silly ska. good fun.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

2/5

basically a compilation album of a bunch of random types of music so he can pretend he predicted it. Sounds like a mike myers rap album (Not a bad thing!)

m b v

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

Enjoyed! bloody noise but if thats what the kids are into then who am I to say no. Will check more out

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

A few genuinely brilliant songs on this. Highlights are Disorder, Day of the Lords and New Dawn Fades. My only beef is so many of the songs on this sound exactly the same. Actually had to keep checking the name of the song to make sure it was a new one. Iconic album cover too, so many middle aged blokes with this t-shirt. RIP Ian Curtis.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

Favourites: Them Bones and God Smack

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

2/5

Guitar does undeniably rip on brighton rock. Rest is forgettable, mid band honestly. Brian May is an astrophysicist! YAY SCIENCE! fuckin normie nerd music

Closer

Joy Division

3/5

Ian Curtis is like a robot that became conscious and allowed to start a band but everyones mean to him and he's really upset about it twenty four hours was my favourite song

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

2/5

Nice easy listening. lots of this style of country sound the same to me which isn't a bad thing. Cool that he actually went to jail AND saw Johnny Cash in San Quentin. You couldn't be called Merle Haggard and NOT be a country artist

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

2/5

sounds good but realistically not gonna listen again

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

I listened to this once before on a bus from edinburgh to dundee. The worst person you know loves this album. Great if you want to listen to a 19 year old with way too much ego ramble about clubbing, fighting and pulling girls. Cant deny it does sound class though

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

2/5

michael jackson meets sade meets I cant remember who the third one was. Decent

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

2/5

Could be the hardest album cover so far

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

3/5

Bjork carries

Night Life

Ray Price

2/5

Another fairly generic country album. He did heartaches by the number which is a goated fallout soung

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

1/5

Sounds good but not my thing. Wouldn't mind it playing in the background at a cafe

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

Not my favourite Radiohead album but absolute fire. All I need, Jigsaw falling into place and Weird Fishes are personal highlights.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

3/5

my favourite artist from my area who has the same birthday as me

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

1/5

BORING.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

1/5

Didn't hate it but certainly not something I should be giving more than a 1 for

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

unexpected banger. live stuff really adds to it and his voice is unreal

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

3/5

Iconic and a great vibe. Would definitely chuck on again but probably not enough songs that stick out for me

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

Cant believe I've never listened to this before it's awesome. Highlights are Death or Glory and Lost in the Supermarket. The title track is an all-timer but its been ruined by appearing too much in films and adverts. Surely this is the one thing these guys were trying to avoid. Found this list: https://letterboxd.com/the23rdjoker/list/movies-where-they-use-london-calling-by-the/

Adele

3/5

What a voice and at least 3 generational tunes. Insane for 21 years old. Middle part is fairly forgettable

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

Favourite tracks: Rock with you, Off the Wall and It's the falling in Love. Weird to think that Michael Jackson wasn't always the massive deal he is now.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Queen II

Queen

1/5

snooze

Doolittle

Pixies

Le Tigre

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

2/5

Dad of the year over here. Bet he thinks he's so cute in that album cover the wank. A few good songs to be fair to him

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

3/5

Lots of the songs on their own aren't good but they're a fun listen and I like the concept of the album. Should've gone with Original Pirate Material, a vastly superior album

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

3/5

Listened a few times before. First half is amazing but second is a bit forgettable. Iron Man was apparently originally called Iron Bloke

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

3/5

My usual torment of not being able to really get into Bowie. I'm sure one day he'll click but his voice just grates me a bit and I don't really know what he's on about half the time. Changes is one of the greatest songs ever made

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

2/5

Sometimes sounds cool but mostly just sauceless

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Maybe a bit too samey for me but the hits are hits!

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

What does Bob Marley leave in the toilet
