Sexy boy is one hell of a tune. So many memories come back from late teens early 20s when listening to it.

The album is easy listening and great in the background.

Favourite song: sexy boy
Least favourite: There is nothing bad on this at all.
Album artwork: cracking cover

I can’t believe this album is now 20 years old!!

I used to love this, so I am looking forward to giving it another listen, its been a long time. Slow night, so long is great. Its the KOL era I know and love before the haircuts and pop. KOL should have stayed this way.

Its a good album, nothing more than a 3/5

Favourite song: King of the rodeo and Bucket
Least favourite: Milk
Album artwork: Cool cover

I am not into heavy metal or thrash metal in any way at all.

I was surprised that I enjoyed Master of Puppets and Battery as I went into the album with a negative mind frame. The guitar riffs were good and catchy, only downside is the songs are a little long.

I grew to like the album. It has some good melodies and acoustic moments. its a 3/5.

Favourite song: Master of puppets
Least favourite: Disposable heros is not for me. there is a lot of screaming involved there.
Album artwork: Cool cover, I won’t hang it up at home though

What a first studio album this is!! It could easily be a greatest hits album. You won’t see a better opening than purple haze, manic depression and Hey Joe. Just brilliant.

So many hits that remind me of going out when I was 18-21 and are the reasons, I love music. Stone Free being the biggest. I love it. Its a 5/5 easily

Favourite song: Manic depression, Stone free
Least favourite: None, all songs are fantastic
Album artwork: Perfect album cover

My first album by Tom Waits as part of this challengeand I am not looking forward to this.

No matter what he’s doing musically, I just can’t get past his voice. It completely takes me out of the album. I know it’s distinctive and part of his appeal, but for me it’s really grating, and it made this a tough listen from start to finish.

There may be good songwriting in here, but it’s hard to appreciate it when the vocal style just doesn’t land at all.

Favourite tracks: None that stood out
Least favourite tracks: The whole album didn’t click for me
Album artwork: The cover pretty much sums up the mood of the album

How have I never heard of this before, this is like good Kanye!!!

This is good rap music, it is fresh and clean, it feels responsibile with a good message that has not dated. The music has it all with some songs featuring R&R then spanning the spectrum to Jazz. Its unique.

Favourite song: Kick, Push" and "Daydreamin'
Least favourite: Outro, what was that all about!
Album artwork: I like the cover

Janis Joplin is an amazing singer, really powerful and raw.

This album had a strong blues feel and had some great guitar riffs. I really enjoyed it.

There are some great tracks on this like Turtle blues and piece of my heart.
The album cover is also fantastic.

Favourite song: Piece of my heart and magic of love
Least favourite: all songs are good
Album artwork: I love the cover

Gorillaz were just so different at the time of release, when this popped up, I was looking forward to listening to this after so many years.

Clint Eastwood and all the remixes of it are brilliant. I never tire of hearing it. Such a good song and sound. There are other great songs too like Punk, Sound check and Re-Hash.

I like this album, but I do think Demon Days is better! I will listen to this more regularly.

Favourite song: Clint Eastwood and Punk
Least favourite: New genius brother
Album artwork: Great cover and the artwork of the band is now stuff of legend.

Not more Elvis!!!

Elvis is phenomenon and a legend, I get this, but he has not made a good album he just has a great voice and sings what he is told to sing!

There are some nice tracks on this like the girl of my best friend and Like a baby

Favourite song: The girl of my best friend
Least favourite: Soldier boy
Album artwork: Standard Elvis album cover

My second Beck album and I fear there is more to come.

This album was OK at best not one of his strongest, so I am very surprised it made the cut of this list.

I really enjoyed the opening tracks E-pro, Girl and missing. Its was a strong start but the album moved to a more repetitive and slower middle and end.

Beck's music is funky, with a hint of indie and grunge yet samy after a while as I do not feel he tries anything new and different. Its an average album.

Favourite song: Girl
Least favourite: Broken drum and scarecrow
Album artwork: It’s a fun cover

Fun, nonsense and annoying. I wanted to hate this album and did in parts but overall, it’s a nice listen.

The album is an easy listen and has some enjoyable tracks, but it begins to get annoying as you go through the album. There are no deep and meaningful lyrics and songs on the album, just fun and cheesy rock songs with catch riffs and titles, get your hands off my woman is a great example of this!!

Favourite song: I believe in a thing called love, Friday night and growing on me
Least favourite: Giving up and stuck in a rut. They are songs in the second half of the album and by this time I was giving up!!
Album artwork: It’s a cool cover

I am not a grunge fan. I find the music all very generic and moany. i can see why this album is top of the pile for grunge but it’s not for me. Its wrestling music!!!!

I couldn’t pick a favourite or a song I dont like, the album was just very meh!

Album artwork: Cool cover

Country music is not an easy listen for me!!

The album is dated and just boring wirth lyrics that just dont relate anymore!

This album is background or lift music at best. Some of the tracks are pleasant in the background and others are just annoying. I have no idea how this album made the cut.

Favourite song: The number song and what does your soul look like are OK.
Least favourite: A lot of the music on this album is meh and background noise.
Album artwork: Cool cover

A clear ten out of five. Maybe even twenty out of ten. This is not just one of the best albums ever made, it is probably in my top three albums of all time.

From the opening of the title track you get everything that makes this band so special. Sharp, fearless lyrics. Powerful, melodic music. Johnny Marr’s guitar playing is extraordinary from start to finish. The riffs are unforgettable. They are the kind you try to copy badly on a guitar in your bedroom because you simply have to play them.

Every song feels essential. There is not a wasted moment. The melodies stay with you, the words mean something, and the whole album flows perfectly. It is packed with classics, and genuinely every track could have been a single.

Favourite songs: Cemetery Gates and There Is a Light That Never Goes Out. Although you could make a strong case for any song here.
Least favourite: None. Every track is a ten out of ten.
Album artwork: Iconic. Instantly recognisable and perfectly in keeping with the band’s aesthetic

I always loved this album, great artist. Brilliant lyrics with a great abnd and music.

The only thing stopping this becoming a 5 is I feel there is a bit too much filler on this album.

Favourite song: Last living rose and let Emgland shake
Least favourite: England and On battleship hill
Album artwork: Brilliant

This is an album I never knew I needed in my life.

This is, Freedom and break are a strong start to the album. they are great song with variety and strong lyrics.

Favourite song: A day at the races
Least favourite: Fanstastic album. I couldnt fault a track
Album artwork: Cool cover

Jazz is not for me at all. This album was pleasant in the background but that is as far as it goes for me.

Favourite song: There was not one track I would like to listen to again
Least favourite: Nothing was bad it was all just meh!!
Album artwork: OK

Another band I had never heard of and loved. Standard punk album. if you love punk you will love this.

Favourite song: Memories are made of this.
Least favourite: All good
Album artwork: Cool cover

Lose control, Goldfinger and girl from Mars is such a strong start to an album and is the sound of my youth.

This is a great album with catchy songs covering punk, indie and grunge. the Album has variety and substance. They were 19 when they wrote this album which is incredible.

Favourite song: Goldfinger and girl from Mars
Least favourite: All good
Album artwork: Great cover
