The SliderT. Rex

Rated 8/10

Love T.Rex, this isn’t an album Iv given as much time as EW, so really enjoyed it today, added into my regular rotation. One of glams rocks best.

This album starts so strong, but then kinda fades away. Don’t get more wrong it’s a really good album, and should be on this list. But because it’s Bowie and he has so many albums on the list, I’m rating this harder than it should. So just misses out on the 4 stars due to it being lower down my Bowie favourite album list, which automatically makes it overrated.

Meh never been a huge 50 cent fan, not sure why this is on the list. Wonder if it’s dropped off on more recent versions of the book. I see it’s credited with reviving gangster rap. Come 2003 I don’t think gangster rap was needing to come back.

Been sitting on this album for a few days before giving my final rating, and I can’t stop stop listening to this, I’m a blues fan so obviously this ticks all my boxes, a come back album from a man who’s prime was before the album era, does that then make this his best album? I’m still to get live at Newport, so I will defer that decision. But in the meantime I’ll put it out there this is one of the best blues albums Iv heard, so that deserves 5 stars in my book.

Not bad for a backing band. Struggling with this rating some absolute classic songs which I enjoyed but also got a bit too cheesy harmony at points it reminded me of the eagles. So been swaying for the last few days between a 3 & 4. It’s an important early rock album with a good mix of music and a couple of key great songs edges it to a 4 star album.

Another album I’m familiar with from its recent release. Good blend of different styles and soil beats throughout deserves to have its place on the list.

This album is already in my regular rotation only because it’s a recent album I like, it’s good and I agree it should be on the list, but of albums Iv enjoyed in the last few years it’s just a bit samey for it to be more than a 3 star album. It’s not one I openly recommend to people.

Rated 6/10

Cheesy, geeky prog rock. Not for me, but can’t question their talent, deserves to be on the list

Never heard of this album or Erykah Badu before but my knowledge of RnB neo-soul is very limited so probably not a surprised. Really enjoyed this great voice and fear funky vibe throughout. Deserves to be on the list.

The classic punk album, 100% should be on this list, they sound good on this album but notoriously terrible musicians so if anything it’s more impressive how good this album sounds.

There are better punk albums in my eyes (direct contrast from London calling which was yesterdays album) but none have Influenced as much as this album is. Therefore I have to give this the full 5 stars.

Hated parts of this, enjoyed other parts of this, I’ll have forgotten about this album come next week…

Atmospheric, weird, and even scary at points, this album was a real rollercoaster. I really enjoyed it but clearly won’t be to everyone’s tastes. But I deffo think this deserves to be on the list.
