Movin on up is a great tune and great way to start an album and set the tone. Unfortunately, the album goes downhill very quickly, as the album progresses it gets worse.

Psychedelic background music is a struggle and not an easy listen. I have had this album in my collection for years and years and this challenge is the first time I have managed to get all the way through it.

The album has some great moments though that give it a score of 3/5 like come together and loaded (even though loaded is about 4 minutes too long)

Favourite song: Movin on up
Least favourite: Dont fight it, feel it and inner flight.
Album artwork: Brilliant cover

At first, I was surprised that this made the list. After listening to this again for the first time in probably 10-15 years I am now not surprised. It is very good.

Supergrass best album for sure. Its full of indie hits.

Favourite song: Stange ones and Allright
Least favourite: Every song is a good one
Album artwork: Great cover

Amazing funk, the sound of the 80S in one album. This is album sounds dirty and sexy. 1999, Delirious and D.M.S.R are great funk songs. I really enjoyed this album

Favourite song: 1999
Least favourite: All good
Album artwork: Cool cover

I liked this album. I had know idea it was produced by John Cale. Very cool!!

Art, rock, pop and punk. What more could you want.

Favourite song: Hospital
Least favourite: all songs are good
Album artwork: nice cover

The perfect album!!

Pure rock and roll. It’s in my top 5 for sure.

Favourite song: supersonic and slide away
Least favourite: you couldn’t find a bad song on this album.
Album artwork: One of the best covers of all time.

Last night, Hard to explain and someday are songs that remind me of my going our days, such belters!!

This is a really good indie album. Effortlessly cool and completly fresh and unique sounding. 5/5 easily!!

Favourite song: So many of these tracks are 5/5. If I had to pick 2 favourites I would pick Soma and Last night.
Least favourite: Everything is perfect
Album artwork: Nice!!!!

I have never heard of this band or any of the tracks before so I am looking forward to some 60s Psychedelic rock.

This album has some great songs but goes on a massive decline as you go through the album. Songs like the king is in the counting house and toonerville trolley are just awful! This should be a short 6-8 track album of just the good stuff.

Favourite song: Get me to the world on time and Are you loving me more but enjoying it less.
Least favourite: The Toonerville trolley, what on earth is that all about.
Album artwork: Standard 60s classic cover.

Not an album I will listen to again. Horrid lyrics and boring beats. It’s also very hard to give any of your time to such a bigot and moron.

All falls down and the new workout plan are great songs but the rest of the album seems lazy.

Favourite song: all falls down
Least favourite: the school spirit tracks are all awful
Album artwork: freaky

I had no idea this was Belinda Carlisles band!! I loved a couple of her solo songs!

At first listen I thought, Another generic female punk group and album. I was wrong, I enjoyed this album. it’s a good listen. What can go wrong when an album has great music and fun lyrics.

There are some great tracks like, tonite, automatic and lust for love.

Favourite song: Tonite was a good song
Least favourite: All songs are fun and a good listen.
Album artwork: Cool cover

It seems very appropriate to be listening to this whilst in Nee York!! I have never heard a Ryan Adams song before but have heard good things. I’m excited to listen to this.

I really enjoyed this. I will listen to this again. It’s an album I would have never tried without the nudge from this challenge.

Favourite song: Somehow Someday and when the stars go blue
Least favourite: Sylvia Plath and enemy fire. The album goes on a mid album slump.
Album artwork: cool cover, very born in the USA

Very short album, it was ok. Nothing stood out. I do wonder how this made the list.

Favourite song: moonshine was a good song
Least favourite: track 1
Album artwork: Cool cover

This album is not for me at all. I enjoyed the Fugees but this was a struggle.

French rap!!! I went into the album with a very negative mindset based on an important component to good rap is being able to understand what is said!! The music is very good and very varied. Great beats but lyrics are important to me. I cant score this album easily without knowing whats being said!

Another Clapton record or at least an album he is featured on!. It’s going to be a tough day. This album I am aware of and always liked. I think it’s the John Mayall influence.

This is a good Blues album. I love What I’d say, another man and All your love. Great songs.

Favourite song: What I’d say
Least favourite: All good
Album artwork: Cool cover.

Listening to this album you can really hear the Shamen move from psychedelic rock into a new rave sound.

I really enjoyed move any mountain, what a great song to start the album. Its an OK album but not one I would want to listen to again Its avergage. I have no idea how it made the list.

Favourite song: Move and mountain and Hyperreal orbit
Least favourite: Omega Amigo
Album artwork: Standard album cover

This is such an average album. I have never understood the hype with Sting or the Police.

There are a handful of good songs on this like message in a bottle and walking on the moon and some hidden gems I had never heard of like no time this time and the bed is too big without you. The rest of the album is very meh though.

Favourite song: Message in a bottle
Least favourite: Reggatta de blanc
Album artwork: Iconic cover

4 songs and 33 minutes, a very different challenge today than yesterday’s 69 songs and 3 hours with The Magnetic Fields. After that I needed the time back.

The only issue is 1960s jazz, probably my least favourite genre of music. This is just not for me at all. Hotel lobby music.

Favourite song: I couldn’t tell the difference between the 4 songs on this album. I couldn’t pick a favourite or least!
Least favourite: Same as above.
Album artwork: Serious

This album is really going to test the aged old saying of quantity does not equal quality. Let’s see. 3 hours is going to be a long chunk out of my day.

Track one grabbed me, I liked it, following on the album had some nice moments like I don’t want to get over you, the one you really love and Fido, your leash is too long. Overall through it was full of filler and was like a poor Leonard Cohen album, lots of love but poor story telling. It went on too long. I feel with 10 of the best tracks this could be good.

Favourite song: Absolutely Cuckoo
Least favourite: 60 out of the 69 tracks
Album artwork: Simple yet smart cover.

This is a good album, Great tunes and a great sound that is very unique to the band. I am a Depeche Mode fan, but this one has gone under the radar with me before now. I will listen to this again.

Favourite song: Nothing and Strange love
Least favourite: All good tunes
Album artwork: Cool cover

I really enjoyed this album. Great song and great memories from nights out 20 years ago. I can’t believe this came out in 1989.

I can see why this is an influential album and a trend setter for this genre. Lots of songs and beats that have been heard on many different albums and nights. This is a brilliant record.

Favourite song: Back to life and feeling free are great tunes.
Least favourite: Nothing is bad on the album.
