I didn’t mind this to start with but then it just kept going on and on and on and on. A couple of times I didn’t realise one song had ended and another had started as they sounded so similar.

If you had told me at the start of this that I would be giving Sister Sledge 5 stars I would’ve thought you were on crack but here we are. This is bloody brilliant, an absolute BANGER of an album.

Top Track - He’s The Greatest Dancer

I only know of Ray Charles from The Blues Brothers so I was expecting an album like Shake Your Tail Feather from the movie. It maybe a tad unfair but since there was nothing like that on here I ended up feeling really disappointed with this one.

The first Queen album I’ve really enjoyed from start to finish. Absolutely brilliant.

Top Track - Obviously Bohemian Rhapsody speaks for itself but I really enjoyed The Prophet’s Song

I found this one unbelievably dull. It wasn’t bad but absolutely nothing stood out to me.

Really enjoyable album for the most part. There’s a few tracks that need a couple of listens. He has an amazing voice though.

Top Track - Cry To Me

Really good album. I can’t fault anything about it but at the same time it’s missing some element that would push it to full marks.

Top Track - Persephone

I love me some Hendrix but when I say that I always listen to the hits. Listening to a studio album, I’ll be honest, massively disappointed. Apart from a couple of tracks it didn’t do anything for me at all.

Top Track - If 6 Was 9

I’m not the biggest rap fan ever but this has been a favourite of mine since its original release. It’s main weakness, and this seems to be a trope of the genre, is that I could quite happily live without the skits.

Top Track - Stan

This might rival Gold by Ryan Adams as the most boring album I’ve had so far. It was completely unremarkable in every way. Seriously I’m writing this and I cannot remember anything about this album.

I absolutely LOVE this. It’s by far my favourite of any of The Beatles solo albums. There are so many brilliant tracks on here. I actually only listened to this a few days ago but I had zero objections to giving it another go today.

Top Track(s) - Wah-Wah, My Sweet Lord, Awaiting On You All, bloody hell I could stick half the album on here lol

For 46 minutes of this album I was unbelievably bored and it had 1 star written all over it. Then the final track Dear God came on and it is bloody brilliant. Why the hell couldn’t the rest of the album be like that?

Up The Irons!! Love me some Iron Maiden but been an age since I’ve listened to them so I was very glad to get this today. This is one of the all time great debut albums. There’s some absolute classics on here. To be honest when you think of songs like Phantom of The Opera and Iron Maiden that have been part of their live sets for decades, I actually prefer Paul Di’Anno’s more raw vocals on them.

Top Track - Strange World

I can’t believe there’s only two Maiden albums on here so that’s me done with them already. Need to make a list of 1001 Metal Albums lol.

I’ve never listened to this one before today but down the years I’ve heard so many people rave about it. It was good, I enjoyed listening to it but at the same time it didn’t exactly blow me away. I think it’s a grower though so I will give it a few more goes.

Top Track - Pedestal

My last couple of Jazz albums have ranged from middling to boring so I’m glad to get a really enjoyable one here. Only negative is that I didn’t really like the final track Ingoo Pow Pow and that’s all that’s stopping me giving this full marks.

Top Track - The Big Apple

While I admittedly don’t listen to a lot of rap music I did actually buy Dr Dre’s 2001 back when I started listening to Eminem and I really liked it so there was high hopes for this one. Unfortunately while I liked a few tracks, overall this wasn’t for me. There wasn’t anything that was really bad, it’s just that even the tracks I liked weren’t anything spectacular.

Top Track - Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat

Holy Crap this was BORING . I’m struggling to write much about it as I found it so unbelievably uninteresting. If I was to rank my bottom five so far this would certainly be in it.

I got this one ages ago when I was doing this solo and didn’t like it at all, it was a 1 star. I actually revisited this a few weeks ago after I gave Daydream Nation 5 stars and it definitely clicked with me second time around. Listening to it today and again I really enjoyed it although not quite as much as Daydream Nation.

Top Track - Hot Wire My Heart

Five songs in and I was loving life and this was a sure fire 5 star. Then there was the back to back of Charlotte Street and 2cv which really did bore me. Luckily the rest of the album picked up again but those two songs are keeping it from top marks.

Top Track - Four Flights Up

I like Queen but when I say that if I listen to Queen it’s their Greatest Hits or a Spotify playlist. Obviously Killer Queen is an absolute classic but I honestly don’t think there’s another track that I can say I really rated that highly. It isn’t terrible it’s just meh.

Top Track - Killer Queen
