An album I’d never heard of before, and not being a fan of country I didn’t have high hopes, but was again pleasantly surprised, I enjoyed this very much, will I come back to it, not totally sure, but glad Iv come across this album and believe it deserves its place on the list.

TransformerLou Reed

Rated 10/10

Lou Reed & David Bowie is just a brilliant partnership as shown in this album. Many consider this Lou Reeds Masterpiece, I actually prefer Berlin, but this one is much more accessible and still deserving of 5 stars.

12 year old me got this album for Christmas from Santa, I then asked my unsuspecting parents if I could put it on, it was switched off very quickly and I was only allowed to listen to this album in my room and to make sure my 7 year old brother didn’t hear it.

This is a good album, but far too over the top to enjoy these days

YsJoanna Newsom

Rated 4/10

Took me a few days to realise this was on Amazon music, then I quickly realised this wasn’t for me.

KenyaMachito

Rated 8/10

This was a pleasant surprised, Cuban Jazz isn’t something I’m familiar with, but this went straight into my frequent rotation, just a good fun album

Lost SoulsDoves

Rated 4/10

This was semi interesting, but just really droned on too much for me, then a few more catchy songs at the end didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the album. Wouldn’t recommend

This is my 1,031 album, as I near the end of this project it’s a great reminder of one of my favourite discovery’s near the start of this project, Nick Drake and Pink Moon.

This album is also brilliant so will be added to my frequent rotation, just doesn’t hit an almost as has hard emotional as that first time listening to Pink Moon.

When I seen a second Def Leppard album on the list my initial thoughts were do we really need this along with Hysteria.

After listening I think we do. Ignoring the fact it’s overblown over the top and just don’t take it too seriously, this was a real good fun album. You can see how it help bring metal/hard rock to the mainstream.

It’s not in the same league as Hysteria, but still well worth a listen.

Rated 6/10

I hadn’t heard of this band before, which always intrigues me with the more recent albums. After reading about the band I have a feeling the allegations stopped them really breaking through.

Putting that aside this is a really
Good album, good mix of indie dance rock, which I’m glad I listened to, not sure it will be one I’ll come back to
Though, but time will tell.

Surprised how much I enjoyed this album today, probably a mix of my bias towards Scottish Artists, and ideal Sunday morning tunes.

It certainly didn’t destroy rock and roll, but made my Sunday morning, added
To my frequent rotation.

Could have fold me by telling me this was a Thom York solo album. I enjoyed parts, some of it was irritating, would i recommend to listen to this before you die? I don’t think so.

Rated 6/10

Iv only ever heard dreadlock holiday by 10cc therefore I assumed they were a Reggie/ska band.

Therefore this album was a pleasant surprise. Don’t get me wrong the albums all over the place with a million different ideas, but it’s worth a listen at least once so gets 3 stars from me.

I do rate Depeche Mode above most 80’s bands, they just seem to have an atmospheric sounds to them that outweighs the dates 80’s synth sound.

Soild Motown funk album, there versions of through the grapevine is disappointing though. Maybe just highlights how good Marvin Gaye is though.

Good album worthy of the list, not sure I’d be rushing back to this one though.
