Rated 8/10
2nd Steely album on this list for me! I like all of their albums, but I would really have put Gaucho or Royal Scam here instead of Pretzel Logic, for this goody I will be going for 4 stars I reckon.
Rated 6/10
This is an interesting one. First redneck album on the list, but with apparently massive scope. Southern history, culture and traditions rolled into one double LP package. Despite all of that, this is quite boring and repetitive music, probably 2, 3 if I'm feeling generous. Rated 2.5 on RYM.
Rated 10/10
Finally, we get Jimi and looks like, not surprisingly, all 3 studio albums are on this list - as they should be! All 3 could really go for 5 stars, but for me Axis was always a touch weaker than other 2. However, I can see I could not decide and rated all three at 4.5/5.0 on RYM. Possibly, I will rate this as 4 and then other 2 as 5, or if I give this one 4 I might reduce one of the other two. This is a touch one for some reason. P.S. I keep spinning this on repeat today and really this is such an enjoyable and great record through and through I added couple more songs into my Jimi playlist and started really liking a couple of more, so I will after all, give this one 5 stars I think.
Rated 10/10
One of the most, if possibly not the most iconic live album ever recorded! What else can I really say about this, superb, greatly recorded superior piece of work this is. Easy 5 stars probably.
Rated 6/10
Honestly, so far after hearing half of this album I am not too impressed. I love a few of their songs, and they are among the main Big Beat bands, but for me this is not even close to Prodigy, probably 3 stars, but will see after listening to this fully
Wow, this really gives me strong Stereolab vibes, something I wasn't expecting at all. Very interesting, highly experimental work for it's time. I can see this going for 4 stars and at least 3.5 on RYM
Rated 10/10
Sadly last Doors album on this list for me! And perhaps their debut is also their best one, easy 5 stars from me for sure without too much thought, just check that legendary tracklist
Rated 10/10
Super important album for me, my beginning in jazz many years ago, still as magical and spiritual as it ever was. Easy 5 stars for sure
Rated 8/10
OK, this surprised me for a couple of reasons: I am only aware of their greatest hits like "Red Red Wine" or "Kingston Town" so it was surprising to their offering on this list is debut album without any of these tracks. Secondly, after fully listening to the album and now re-listening I am presently surprised by these instrumental dub tracks, really dig them. Rated 3.5/5.0 on RYM so it's good, could go either 3 or 4 stars here.
Rated 10/10
I was really looking forward to this one! After hearing this album just less than 2 years ago, ot instantly became one of my all time favourites easily and I expect it will stay that way for quite a while. Easy 5 stars, a masterpiece ambient art work. Today this became my most listened album of all time as well surpassing Downward Spiral
Rated 8/10
Honestly, so far this is, as I expected a bit better indeed than the CSN album I got on this list before, might even go for 4 stars this one. After a few re-listens it's quite clear that the addition of Mr. Neil Young definitely elevates this project to another level. I should REVISIT this one again in the future.
Rated 8/10
Good stuff, haven't listened to this in a very long time. Very good record, altough I only know 2 songs here, still probably almost 4 stars, rated 3.5 on RYM, I expect the other record of theirs on this list to be even better
Rated 8/10
Nice! Classic Roxy and last album with Eno, the end of this unique journey and the beginning of the new one. Just went on RYM and rated 4.5 but here is a strong 4 stars I'd say, I like half the songs from this album. And I have to say for me Eno's career is just superior and even more interesting
Wow, for some reason I expected this masterpiece not to be here, I just re-listened ti this just a couple days ago, so this is like a sign haha. No other album in existence like this one really, superb, passionate, progressive jazz big band suite like no other. Strong 5 starts
Rated 10/10
Already rated this legend 4.5 on RYM so could go either way here, but I am leaning towards perfect 5, this is a full package. P.S. Re-listened a few times to this great record again today and is very clearly 5 stars, perfect and love nearly every song here and what a badass album cover
Rated 8/10
Femi is clearly following in his great father's, Fela Kuti's footsteps. It is very good stuff, something old, something new, however it doesn't really hit as strong, doesn't seem to have that magical quality of Fela Kuti. Still some great moments here, at least 3, maybe 4 stars, need more time!
Rated 8/10
Maybe not exactly my cuppa tea,. this is very smooth, well produced and great sounding recording. Reminds me of 80s movie, 4 stars. I should check out some of her other albums, artist to REVISIT
Rated 8/10
I have this on Vinyl and also already rated at 4.5/5.0 on RYM, but I reckon here leaning more towards 4 stars, still not sure. Today is quite busy so not enough time to properly re-listen again
Rated 8/10
Nice, was waiting for this one. A little bit underwhelming, however still strong 4 stars for sure. I should probably revisit this more often, was only aware of Time of the Season, but opening track is really good as well. I love album art
Rated 6/10
This is very interesting and I really appreciate getting something so different. But it does feel a bit like the stupid idiots who made this list added so many 2000s british indie rock albums, that they started feeling guilty and googled "best non-english albums of all time" or something like that. This is decent but does feel a bit repetetive and too long after a while, definitely at least 3 stars.
