Fucking Pet Sounds came out the year before this. You wouldn’t bother would you.

ParklifeBlur

6/10

Seems like Kaiser Chiefs heard the worst songs on this album and decided to make it their whole sound. There are a few good tracks on here but it’s not my favourite of Blur’s oeuvre by any stretch. Some of it I actually dislike.

Lust for LifeIggy Pop

6/10

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would, and there’s some pretty recognisable tracks, but I won’t play it again

Station to StationDavid Bowie

4/10

Don’t really like this era of Bowie. This one certainly shouldn’t be on here. Bowie says he can’t remember recording it because of the drugs - no David, it’s because all the songs are boring. The best one was covered 100x better by Cat Power.

BrothersThe Black Keys

6/10

Never Gonna Give You Up is an all time CLASSIC. The rest? Pretty unremarkable. All three of these stars are for that track

TransformerLou Reed

4/10

A pretty lazy Bowie impression. I know Reed came first but… he’s just coasting on the success of his awful band. Perfect Day obviously a banger but done better by almost everyone who has covered it. The rest? Boring.

The SuburbsArcade Fire

6/10

Ahhh… Arcade Fire. This type of thing is so far up my street they fucking live next door but… I just don’t get it. Sort of enjoyed a lot of it, some went right through me, I know I won’t think about it again after today.
