5/5

10/10 one of the most impactful album from my youth. The attitude of the vocals, the defining guitar sound and funky groovy bass making a unique sound never before or since captured

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

Impressive album. Long track and interesting throughout. Female vocal is so distinct and hauntingly beautiful. Great musicians and more than just a hippie band clearly

Superfly

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

4/5

straight off the street realness. Some great tracks. Enjoyed

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

Enjoyable and a complex piece of work. Artsy, with yet some single tracks that are now part of pop culture history (main stream).

Frank

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Listened to in Spain which drink so nice servesa - the combination was 5/5. What an incredible debut album from a generational talent got too early. Love

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

Still bitter about not getting tickets. 5/5 Brit rock album

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

2/5

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

1/5

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

5/5

Unreal album. Live they are even better

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

3/5

Used to love this album when it came out. I over played it and now I think Matt Bellamys voice is just too clean for my taste 19/20 years later. It's a savage guitar album though.

Rage Against The Machine

N.E.R.D

2/5

Not great and I really wanted to like it

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

One of the greatest rock albums of my childhood and generation. It's a new sound for RHCP moving away from the raw funk sound to something for fully formed. Also one of Rick Rubins best albums

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Great rock and blues guitar album and fun

Fleet Foxes

4/5

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

5/5

Never heard this album and only heard one song before - this was epic! Sounds like it could have been produced yesterday. Absolutely fascinating that he was not famous in his life, and did into performing live and I'm interested to research the reasons!

Crazysexycool

TLC

4/5

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Never a fan of Iggy. Tried again, still not a massive fan. But appreciate the raw, puck attitude of this rock icon.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

Lovely album. First time ever listening to a samba album. Plus it was summer here when listening which helped!

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

4/5

What a cool sound. These guys were making serious inroads and forging the way for stoner rock.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Orginally I said 'Not my fav talking heads album.' and gave it a 3 star. But ive listened to several of the tracks now multiple time and the album in full now twice. This is where a single listen format sometimes falls short. Some album are growers - like some of my favour albums today. I liked them originally but grew to love them. Talking Heads are so experimental it can take time to ' get it'. Upgrade from a 3 to 4.

Headquarters

The Monkees

1/5

Can't stand the monkees

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Never listened to a steely Dan album but this was far out! Strong jazz influences was not what I was expecting and a lovely interesting surprise. Still don't love the singers voice but have a new appreciation for the band

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Paris 1919

John Cale

2/5

Didn't enjoy

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

Wanted to love it more. Solid 3

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

3/5

Nixon

Lambchop

3/5

One good song 'Up with people' the rest is nice but not great.

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

That was a sick album! Haven't ever listened to a full Young album and love it! Bluey and folky with a rock riff every now again. Enjoyed the guitar playing throughout and the slide and banjo rocked

Metallica

5/5

A soundtrack to my teenage years. Thank you for making me listen to this from start to finish. It has been a while and sound like just where I left it off 10/10

Atomizer

Big Black

3/5

Good fun, raw punk album

Roxy Music

4/5

Weird and wonderful

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

That was a seriously long album. Which was unexpected! Especially for 1966! Some wonderful songs. Song beautiful story telling and some songs a little too long lol Type of album you would want as a record to through on and get lost in it for an hour and 15 mins

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

This is zeppelin branching out into so many different genres. It took a while for me to embrace this given my love and adoration for this classic rock sound. But by the end of the album I was loving their experimentation and prog rock feel.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

2/5

I just can't stand ELO. Not sure why so much. Something about it is corny.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Bitta fun but also a bit annoying

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

3/5

I've just learnt a new musical genre called 'dream pop' and these guys pioneered it. And it's as dreamy as it sounds. Really interesting album and sound. Originally I couldn't believe that I was listening to the remastered version because it still sounded like muck. But after a couple of tracks I was leaning into it. Enjoyed that listen

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

3/5

this album is actually about women empowerment in a male dominated industry. Christina an exec producer and lyrics that resonated with me in a different way than in 2000s. Maybe that's thanks to my own now understanding as a 30 plus year old man. But thank you for letting me listen to his album through a new perspective

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

This isn't punk. This jazzy, ska, reggae, rock n roll - with punk attitude

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

2/5

It was grand - a bit forgettable

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

2/5

Blur

4/5

Didn't know Bowie was such an influence on the band. Really enjoyed this. Thank you!

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

3/5

A couple great songs but I feel it doesn't sound great today and a little uncool

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

5/5

This sounds is so nostalgic for me. I bought it and had to scribble out the parental advisory sticker so my parents wouldn't catch wind I listening to such profanity. This album aligned with my teenage angst the same way nu metal bands and grunge bands did. It was powerful and spoke to me. I'm grateful for this album giving me an avenue to express myself.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

Class album

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

3/5

Love that one day you're listening to a punk rock album album, next thing Latina samba album. Enjoyed but also I had had enough of it by the time it finished

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

This was exquisite from start to finish. First record I've played back to back instantly. I don't know jazz or the history of jazz. But what I know is how it made me feel. And it was warm, rich, sad, happy, beautiful and real.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

Beautiful buttery soulful jams. Great instrumental sections and sexy vocals.

Dust

Screaming Trees

4/5

This was an interesting album. Ebs and flows , some good, some not to good. More folk sounding with chugging rock guitar solos.

Good Old Boys

Randy Newman

2/5

Listened to it while having a roast dinner, it was nice but can't really remember it
