Wow, I am surprised I keep hearing about old school hip-hop bands which I never heard of before. The album cover art is cool, this is your standard old-school conscious rap. Pretty damn good, however it does kind of get samey which makes me lean into 3 stars more.

Wow, yet another one from these guys! This one is clearly my favourite of them, but apart from the 3 big hits I am not familiar with album tracks, so this might go for 4 stars unless those album tracks are super amazing.

OK, I was really curious about this artist and was waiting for the first entry. Kind of like your classic crooner style, however very excentric and with a very unorthodox approach. First song Jackie stood out, but I enjoyed listening to this, the guy does not seem to take himself too seriously, an interesting record, at least 3 stars and perhaps should revisit at some point, but we will see. I expect a bit more from the other of his albums on this list, which is more highly acclaimed as far as I'm aware.

I was pondering on this one for a while. On ome hand I used to like this much more then I was a kid and it has few legendary tracks. On the other hand, I don't really listen to them anymore. Still Wanted dead or alive holds up to me to this day and album has a few very good album tracks so all in all, considering 4 stars.

Never heard of these guys despite Spotify praising this to be one of the most important band of the 90s!? Hmmm. Either way, this is pretty decent actually, quite enjoyed it, 3 stars quite easily

Ok, this is pretty decent, perhaps 3 stars even though I am not a fan of this post-hardcore stuff, but it's decent stuff nevertheless

Too bad I am having massive issues at work this week so I can't find enough time to properly give this attention but clearly this is at least 4 strong stars. Again not enough time to properly decide. NEED PROPER REVISIT

Favourite growing up and played huge part in me discovering metal music. Don't really listen to Maiden much anymore but number of the beast still stands for me as on the greatest metal albums ever, 5 stars

Looks like already rated this 4.0 on RYM. Used to be quite a fun of these guys back in the day, but after finding the likes of Eno and similar this just doesn't cut it anymore for me as much, at least 3 stars here for sure, but maybe even 4. I still remember and love couple of tracks from this one!

I thought this is not too bad listening to the Intro track, however it gets progressively more boring and lazy-sounding. Not too impressed by yet another stupid fucking indie offering on this list. 2 stars

Don't really feel too much like listening to this again, tired of this indie shit. Still feeling generous enough to give it 2 stars, cause it could always be much worse. Ok, on the 2nd listen it's not bad, def at least 2.5 on RYM, still not sure about 3 though.

Alright, this is pretty decent, nice keyboard work and instrumentation, however it's not super great either, probably very strong 3 stars for this, lacking a bit for me. But today is busy, and maybe I'll find some time to re-listen later on this eve. Def at least 3.5/5.0 on RYM

Another great one today, first one from the White Stripes for me on this list. A strong entry, a really good album, but for me, it does lack something to reach the perfection, therefore I will give it strong 4 stars.

Again, surprised why such a great artist has only 1 album on the list and it's a live one. It's a legendary live album no doubt, however he had a run of many great studio albums as well. But still for this historical record I reckon I'll give 4 stars.

Another album which I listened since I was a child and firmly believe is a rock masterpiece. So easy easy 5 starts, however I still will listen to it today, because who can resist those awesome John Lord keyboard runs??! 5/5

This might be the longest album I got so far, so I have a lot of listening to do today. But gladly already familiar with this great work, already rated 4.5 on RYM so could go either way here, but I would be leaning towards 5.

Alrighty. Interesting... Not even sure what to say about this, not a big fan at all, but at least so far on the 2nd song it's a bit better than that Britney album I had to listen... Cannot see giving this more than 2 stars, I highly doubt even after I listen to it whole, that my opinion will change that much. Maybe even 1
