Not a huge 2Pac fan, but this is one of his best, and a plus it’s a lot shorter than all eyes on me. Which is a plus in my eyes. Deserves to be on the list.

Hard to give this a fair review given it’s not on Spotify and had to listen to YouTube adverts, not an experience I’ll be rushing back to re listen. Maybe rerate one day it’s on a streaming service I have a subscription to.

The start of the stones incredible 4 album run, this album is great but probably the weakest of those 4 albums, hence doesn’t quite get the full marks when compared to sticky fingers or Exile on Main Street

Finally an Elivs Costello album I really enjoyed, great sounding album added to my permanent rotation and deserves its place on this list.

Another country album

I was 16 when this album came out, and a big fan of Greenday, especially Dookie, and for some reason I just hated this album. Probably that hipster thing of hating how popular greenday became with casual fans and being that guy who kept raving about their older stuff.

Listening back as a more mature adult, this album is better than my 16 year old self gave it credit for. Probably deserves its place on the list, but won’t be making my frequent rotation anytime soon.

Pictures At An Exhibition is one of the handful of albums Iv given 1 star. So when I seen another ELP album this morning I let out a big sigh.

And the first song backed up my first conclusion another album of listening to computer game keyboard sounds. To be fair the album did get better as it went on and some of the shorter songs were enjoyable. But not enough to convert me.

The peak of 80s hip hop. Even today this still holds up against some of the best hip hop albums and has aged a lot better than a lot of 80’s/90’s hip hop including NWA in my opinion maybe due to political rap being more relevant than gangster rap. A true Hip Hop Groundbreaking masterpiece.

Feels like I’m listening to a Disney soundtrack,

One of my favourite 90’s albums, so completely biased review but absolutely love this album, all the singles from this album are outstanding. A britpop masterpiece.

Soild 90s metal album, that should be in the list, clearly influenced a lot of the metal I listened to as a teenager, I am now a grown man so will not be adding this to my frequent rotation.

First time listening to this album, I’m a fan of Yankee foxtrot hotel so was looking forward to this album, and it did not disappoint, great sounding album with great songs. My only gripe would be the usual it’s just too long an album.

I had completely forgotten about this album, so good and so many recognisable songs and love the blues samples. Added back to my rotation.

Marvin Gayes masterpiece. Just an absolute beautiful album, which sadly a lot of the themes are still true today, over 50 years later.

Soild 90s rap album, just a bit long for me to fully enjoy. Would rather just listen to some Wu Tang.

Pop punk meets REM alt rock. Enjoyable album but just on the long side, I can see the influence this would of had on pop punk bands of the 90s/00s. But the album is too long and a bit repetitive with a couple of stand out songs.

Good grunge album not sure it’s anything brilliant though would rather have the QOTSA albums on the list Mark was involved in over this.

Nope this album was a total drag, i get its probably important for country music being a very early album, but not for me.

A parody album shouldn’t be this good, Frank Zappa is a genius, anyone attempting a parody of Stg Pepper would need to be for it to work and this does. Not an accessible album but worth a few listens to get it. A few parts just a bit too odd for my taste to give this full marks.

Maybe being a little harsh as in rates the expanded version, very good live album deserves its place on the list, but a lot of covers, missing some of the Who’s best songs, and felt the start and end of the album much better than the middle. So doesn’t quiet make the 4 stars mark for me.
