Probably the best opening and closing tracks on a stones album, but in between doesn’t quiet match up to sticky fingers or exile on Main Street. That’s why this is the stones 3rd best album, still more than worth of this list though.

Always thought this album was a bit SH-II-TEEE.

Listening back now it’s not as bad as I remember, apart from her big hit which just does my head in. Still not an album I’d be recommending to anyone.

An emotional and disturbing masterpiece, this is the manics best work, but can be such a hard listen knowing what happened to Richey, he was going through these horrific themes himself, which sadly does give authenticity to the art.

I do love Led Zeppelin but I think this album is carried by the immigrant song. Which probably carries it to a 3, but if I was to remove one LedZep album from
The list it would be this one.

The Yes AlbumYes

Rated 4/10

I’m not a massive prog rock fan, so more than 1 yes album on this list is too much for me.

Rid of MePJ Harvey

Rated 6/10

Another really good album from PJ Harvey, deserves to be on the list, but I think it just gets a bit weird in the middle for me to listen to this again vs her other albums

I do like early Kings of Leon, but I don’t think we need both this and their superior 2nd album on the list. But this album is already in my rotation, so I’ll give it a 3 anyway

Rated 4/10

Nope this is just pretentious nonsense. The vocals and the percussion just went right through me.

The main issue I have with this list is too many artists have multiple albums on the list that don’t deserve them. If we weeded this out there could be a much more diverse list.

This is a prime example, don’t get me wrong Missy Elliot deserves to be on the list, but this album isn’t in the same league as under construction, so isn’t required. Don’t get me wrong in its own right it’s a good album, but we don’t need two Missy Elliot albums. So because I’m comparing this to under construction (which I rated 4) it only gets a 2. If under construction wasn’t on the list, this would probably get a 3.

Never heard of this before and come next week I’ll have forgotten all about it. Didn’t hate this, some of it was pretty cool, but found the James Bond song very cheesy. Can’t see why this needs to be on the list.

Rated 10/10

One of those brilliant and tragic albums only released after her death. What a talent. Ok not all the songs are hers but she makes them hers with that voice and swagger. One of my all tine favourite female vocalists.
