Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Some nice funky baselines and soothing falsetto

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

Two fantastic separate double albums bundled up as one. Club banger after banger on Speakerbox with drum and bass influence and the more laid back sexy, jazzy, lovey dovey Love Below. Both are easy 4/5 albums individually only let down by some annoying skits

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

2/5

Time After Time and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun are absolute classic standout tracks on this decent but otherwise uninspiring album

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Joe Ely

2/5

Some nice slide guitar and interesting lyrics but didn't really catch my attention.

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

3/5

Solid 3. Nice sound and feel and I really liked No Tears and Pretty in Pink. Let down by being too samey all the way through, little to differentiate between the tracks.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

1/5

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

5/5

Fantastic album, so many great tracks. I love White Rabbit in particular and the epic crescendo it builds to. Can really see how they must have influenced bands like Fleetwood Mac.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

1/5

Repetitive, boring and long. That was a tough slog.

Achtung Baby

3/5

Better than I thought it would be. I'm really not a fan of Bono or his singing but quite enjoyed this.

Ramones

5/5

Fast, fun, simple and catchy. 14 songs in 29 minutes to create an album that would inspire a movement.

Slipknot

3/5

The lyrics are very cringe shouty teen angst, but luckily you can barely make them out. The drumming is fantastic and overall I quite enjoyed it.

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

Connected

Stereo MC's

1/5

Shouldn't be in this list. Might have been on in the 90s but has not agreed well.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

5/5

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

2/5

Quite fun, gothic, camp rockabilly. I can see how this really influenced 80s Matchbox B-Line disaster who then improved on the formula.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Great singing, great blues guitar playing, great recording. Love it

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Acoustic first half of the album before the electric raw protogrunge second half.

The Cars

2/5

I really liked Just What I Needed and I can see how they must be pretty ahead of their time as they sound so 80s for 1978. But it's just not for me.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

1/5

I would have been happy to have waited until I died for this one.

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

4/5

Beautiful stuff

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Rocks

Aerosmith

2/5

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Not my favourite Beatles album, but still a 5. The best two songs are probably the two George songs, Come Together and Oh! Darling also great. It could have done without Maxwell's Silver Hammer

The United States Of America

3/5

Vulnicura

Björk

2/5

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

Solid 4, top tier britpop. Great tunes with dry humour

Gorillaz

2/5

Clint Eastwood and 19-2000 are great but overall it's not that exciting. Gorillazs improve with later albums

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

1/5

Boring, saccharin sweet, middle of the road pop with a hint of country.

Garbage

2/5

90s nostalgia from my childhood couldn't make me like this. Early britpop which feels pretty boring now and hasn't aged that well

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

4/5

Got respect them for calling their debut album Club Classics Vol. One. But it lives up to its name, this album is club banger after banger. Great beats, crisp production and smooth vocals.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

3/5

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

3/5

Needs more bongo

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

3/5

The College Dropout

Kanye West

3/5

Great highlights like Thought the wire, all falls down, we don't care and slow jams. But too much filler and too many annoying skits about degrees. Could have been a 4 or 5 just by cutting the run time in half

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

Bad Company

2/5

Pretty middle of the road

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

2/5

They're very good instrumentally but the singing and lyrics are awful. If they got themselves a decent singer I could see them making it big.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton
