This is better than the other Costello albums on here. I'm still not a fan, but I'm beginning to understand why people like him.

This is the third PJ Harvey album I've been recommended by the generator, and it made me wonder if the list really needs three PJ Harvey albums? And the answer is yes. Yes, it does.

Graceful and soothing.

Surprisingly experimental and electronic, and quite raunchy.

Green Day are another band the NME made me hate. This is great, raw and aggressive, and I feel sad that I missed out.

This doesn't look like a Neil Young album, and there are places where it doesn't sound like one. In a good way! Very enjoyable. YT music link here: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n1S9ljyNSBHJ-FKC5l44V500jlmEBtt-0&feature=share

This is great, very Led Zeppelin, maybe with a little less variety, but Ozzy's charisma makes up for it.

Still not a huge Elvis fan, but I appreciated how fast this moves.

This was not what I expected, but then I didn't really know what to expect. I quite liked it though.

I had this at the age of about 21 as part of the Peel Slowly and See boxset. It's still amazing, a gritty backlash against the staid pop that dominated airwaves in the 1960s.

This just has such a nice vibe that it gets away with sounding like the soundtrack to The Jungle Book/The Lion King.

Not bad, not great. Bit dated.

This album is so tight that it made me pass out.

Actually not bad. Very much of its time, but it's easy to see why they were so popular; Fred Durst's cartoony, juvenile persona matched with punchy, compressed guitars and flawless production.

Variations on a theme, but it's a great theme (and one you've heard everywhere).

Incredible. The more I listen to music of this era and genre, the more I realise how unoriginal The Strokes are.

Reminds me of summer 1954, when I cruised around the Amalfi coast in my convertible Fiat, wooed beautiful Italian women, and did other stuff I completely made up for the purposes of this review.

Enjoyable and full of heart. Could not find the full album on Spotify, YouTube link here: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lPdfiWy1WS-WR8Fwg3GAGWZKKYB3tngiU&feature=share

This is exactly what I imagine a 1980s arts college in northern England would sound like. Amazing in its own way; it almost verges into hip-hop in places. RIP MES.

This was so boring I actually died. When the paramedics resuscitated me they told me I was the third person that day who'd died of boredom while listening to Nixon.
