Being Scottish and a fan of VU this ticks a lot of boxes for me. Already on my permanent rotation. But think there is a bit of a lull in the middle of the album, so doesn’t quiet get full marks from me.

Kanyes last great album. Now he’s a complete nutter i think it will remain his last great album. Deserves to be on the list if you can separate the art from the artist.

Maiden have much better albums than this that I’ll rate highly on this list. The Number of the beast and power slave. Therefore this one really doesn’t need to be here,
But appreciate die hard Maiden fans will enjoy this one.

Really good hip hop album like the jazz influence, feels ahead of it’s time, but also already dated with homophobia. Worth place on this list.

Rated 6/10

I really enjoyed the start of this album, but the last few songs were just too weird for me, painfully long that I won’t be rushing back to this, can see it’s influenced a lot of people hence deserves to be on the list.

Classic metal album deserves its place on the list, this starts so strong and is one of maidens best, but a couple of dud songs near the end stops it getting full marks

Rated 4/10

Constant craving is a great song, was a real boost at the end of the album, pitty you had to go through the whole album to get to it. Rest wasn’t my cup of tea.

A classic rap album that hasn’t dated well in terms of misogyny and also the beats sound a bit dated now too. Deserves to be on the list, but won’t be rushing back.

The haunting theme from the exorcist. Impressive Mike was 19 and played all
The instruments on this album. Instrumental prog rock really isn’t my thing but this gets 4 stars on pure talent alone.

Not familiar with this album, but really enjoyed it, different from pet sounds, but second best beach boys album Iv heard

This didn’t do much for me at all, can see it would be influential given the year it came out, but not one I’ll come back to

On paper this ticks a lot of boxes for me, shoegaze, britpop noise pop. But just feels a bit of a mess jumping between styles and jsut didn’t click after a few days of trying, better albums for each of these categories so not sure this needs to be on the list.
