After the past week and getting back from Mexico, I needed a 5/5 album to kick off my first day back at work, and Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones delivered exactly that.

What a way to open with Brown Sugar. That riff is unforgettable. Wild Horses is one of my all-time favourite songs, and Sister Morphine is seriously underrated. The album is full of standout moments and that classic Stones swagger, making it a top-tier record from start to finish.

Favourite track: Wild Horses, emotional, timeless, and beautifully written
Least favourite tracks: None, every track earns its place
Album artwork: An iconic cover that’s as bold as the music

A true classic and exactly what I needed

Awful album. just noise and shouting.

At first sight, I judged a book by its cover and thought I would hate this album, by track 4 I was hooked

I knew some of these songs, fly or die and she wants to move. Massive tunes!!

This album has it all. Hip hop, Jazz, pop and even more.

Favourite song: she wants to move
Least favourite song: all good
Album cover: Good cover

Flower power at its best.

Grace Silks voice is amazing. Her songs on the album are the highlight.

Somebody to love is the standout tune but there are some other belters like white rabbit and she has funny cars.

Favourite song: she has funny cars
Least favourite: everything is cool
Album cover: standard cover

I always struggle with foreign language music. Lyrics are important to me.

I found the album boring and receptive. It was a very hard listen.

I am going to need a good album tomorrow to pick me up from the last 3-4 days

This album is ok at best.

Average grunge, pop and indie, you can’t tell it wants to be an Foos or Nirvana type album but it just isn’t.

If I can’t change your mind and hoover dam are ok. The rest of the album is just so bland and average. I have no idea how this album can make a list like this.

Favourite song, Hoover Dam
Least favourite: most of the album
Artwork: ok

I am not a fan of this genre so this was always going to be a rough listen. Track 1 confirmed this.

To sum up this album I think it’s simply Just awful.

Favourite song: none
Least favourite: all of them
Artwork: not good.

I really enjoyed the first 2 tracks. It set me up with lots of optimism for the rest of the album. The peak was runaway. What a great song

The album is all over the place from a genre perspective. Indie, pop, dance and electronic music all in one album. I love it

Favourite song: zero and runaway
Least favourite song: all good songs. I also enjoyed the acoustic versions on the special edition of the album.
Artwork: great album cover

I have always wanted to listen to an LCD album so this is my chance.

I really enjoyed this album. There are some great songs on it like Tonight, call the police and how do you sleep. Such a good mixture of upbeat songs and ballads.

Favourite song: How do you sleep
Least favourite song: Black screen was just so long and not needed
Cover: It’s a simple yet effective album cover

I had never heard of this fella so I went in with no expectations apart from a recommendation from Phil Collins which can never be a good thing.

I thought dealer was a terrible song. Boring with terrible lyrics and vocals. It was a tough start.

I really didn’t enjoy this album at all. The only saving grace was big muff. That was an ok song.

Favourite song: Big muff was ok
Least favourite song: the rest of the album
Album artwork: Cool cover

This is a great album. So many good songs on it. This will be listened to again.

Favourite song: Bodyrock, natural blues and porcelain
Least favourite song: all good tracks
Artwork: great album cover

I went into this with little expectations having not really heard a screaming trees song before.

I found it to be mediocre grunge. There is nothing good or stand out on this album

Favourite song: All I know
Least favourite everything was a little bit bland
Album artwork: nuts cover, not one you would hang up at home

This is one of the best pop albums on the list. Firstly, it has great songs on it. Versatile sounds like going from fighter and dirty to beautiful. 3 great pop songs and songs of the early 00's

This is as good as pop gets. Too much filler for me though like underappreciated and make over. This makes it a 3 for me.

Favourite song: Dirty
Least favourite: Underappreciated.
Album artwork: Cool cover.

This album was not for me.

Its a poor mans Jonny Cash, with a little more cowboy and sad songs. Its not the type of country music I like and enjoy.

I love Queen. They were the first band I ever fell in love with, so there will always be some bias here. That said, this is not one I have revisited as much as some of the others.

“Seven Seas of Rhye” is superb. Such a brilliant song. It is dramatic, melodic and full of swagger. I have so many memories of watching Queen at Wembley on TV and this song always takes me straight back there.

There may not be many of the obvious greatest hits on this record, but that does not matter. As a complete piece it is ambitious and theatrical, split between the light and dark sides, and it really shows the band’s creativity in their early years. It feels bold and imaginative, and I enjoyed it far more than I expected to.

Favourite song: Seven Seas of Rhye
Least favourite: Procession
Album artwork: An iconic cover. One of the most recognisable images in rock history

II loved this album when it came out, that said I was 22 years younger then. Listening to it again after so long I had the following thoughts.

There are some great songs on this like Stan, the way I am and the real slim shady.
the album is too violent
Its homophobic and misogynistic

However, I can’t work out if this is sarcasm or not!

Favourite song: The way I am
Least favourite: all good
Album artwork: Good cover

Just random noise and nonsense. If this is clever I dont get it. Awful.

Favourite song: Nothing
Least favourite: Every track
Album artwork: Good cover

I really enjoyed this album. I got a brand on you is one hell of a tune! its a good album and will be listened to again

Favourite song:I got a brand on you
Least favourite: All good
Album artwork: Cool cover

I actually really enjoyed this, which surprised me. I gave The Man Machine a very low score and found it a tough listen, so I was not expecting this to click.

Trans-Europe Express feels more focused and melodic. The minimalist approach works better here and the repetition feels hypnotic rather than cold. It is electronic, precise and controlled, but still accessible.

Showroom Dummies is a standout. Catchy, mechanical and strangely fun. The title track Trans-Europe Express is equally strong, building atmosphere in that unmistakable Kraftwerk way. The whole album feels like an easy listen, which is not something I expected to say.

Favourite song: Showroom Dummies
Least favourite: None. It is consistently strong throughout
Album artwork: A great cover. Stylish, sleek and perfectly in keeping with their aesthetic

Cheap trick is a new one for me but I do love a live album, so I was looking forward to giving this one a go.

this felt like boring and generic rock. Nothing grabbed me at all. Uninspiring music. The crowd seemed flat. I have no idea how this album made the list as there is nothing new, different, or engaging about it.

Favourite song: I want you to want me was quite pleasant
Least favourite: Need your love (it was just long and very boring)
Album artwork: Cool cover
