Sit down with my morning coffee to enjoy today’s album, then let out a massive sigh when I see Iv got to sit through an hour of Justin Timberlake.

One of the greatest performer / artists ever, but this album is pretty average. Still worth being on the list because it’s Elvis.

Good girl punk band, never heard of them before hits hard, but does get a bit samey, so don’t think I’ll rush back to it.

I’m familiar and a big fan of Mingus Ah Um, which should be on this list! But first time listening to this album, this is different a bit more experimental Jazz, but I still enjoyed it, personally I prefer bebop jazz, to the experimental side of it. But this one had a nice mix of the two, added to my rotation.

Yep this is a pop rock masterpiece, contains their biggest hits and the albu starts with a bang and doesn’t overstay its welcome.

This has previously been seen as one of the greatest albums ever written. I do agree it’s a bit overrated in that context, it’s not even the Beatles greatest album in my opinion. But it’s arguably one of the most important albums ever written. For that reason I still consider this a masterpiece. It’s flows so well and some absolute stand out songs on their own too. Plus it finishes with a day in the life. Another 5 star album for the Fab Four.

Good album enjoyed this, good easy listening soft rock, it is a bit long and I’m
Not sure anything was memorable enough for me to come back to though

Great singer song writer album. The three singles are absolute classics. With fast car one of the best songs ever written. The rest of the album does get a bit repetitive though musically and lyrically, hence doesn’t get the full 5 stars.

Was a bit miffed when I seen a Rufus Wainright album on the list this morning, but after listening to it I was pleasantly surprised again. This wasn’t what I was expecting, reminded me a bit of a laidback Radiohead album. I enjoyed it, maybe not enough to come
Back to but one I’m glad I listened to today.

One of those album that influenced better albums, therefore probably deserves to be on the list for that reason alone

Some good old sexy hard rock, this album doesn’t hold back the punches in a great 35 mins, clearly kicked off the whole hair metal scene, though I’m not sure that’s a good thing…

Colour and Shape should be on this list, their debut should not. Foo Fighters are a very average band but hard not to like due to Dave Ghrol being a great guy. A star rating represents the foo fighters overall not just this album which would be 2 stars.

Not a bad album, but just a bit middle of the road really, don’t think we need two Rod solo albums on the list, so this one gets downrated.
