The madchester album you need to listen to before you die, absolute masterpiece.

Agree this album probably should be on the list, but I’m really not a fan of Billie Holiday’s voice on this album, so not an enjoyable album for me or one I’ll come back to.

My favourite Beatles album, and one of my all time favourite albums of all time, absolutely brilliant and so influential. Masterpiece.

Really good jazz album, added to my rotation.

This is a really good punk album, great mix of different styles through out the album, very talented musicians.

An instrumental soundtrack to a movie that doesn’t exist. On the face of it it seems a pointless pretentious idea. funny I actually enjoyed this. Wouldn’t rush to listen to again but glad I listened to it once.

Let out a sigh when I seen it was a prog rock album this morning, but pleasantly surprised with how good this album is.

Over the top at times but brilliant. Up there with the best prog rock albums, but not quiet as good as the best, so jsut misses out on the full 5 stars, probably more due to myself not being a massive prog rock fan.

Good solid new wave album, well deserving of its place on the list. Message in a bottle the stand out song. On any other day the low point.

Familiar with skepta but first time listening to this album. I’m not a fan of grime/U.K. rap with a couple of exceptions. So this one really didn’t do much for me.

One of the stand out albums of the last couple of years, definitely deserves its place on the list. Is it a masterpiece only time will tell, but for now it feels harsh not to give this the full 5 stars.

Absolute masterpiece. For years I believed this was Radioheads peak, but I have a lot more time for Kid A these days. But given OK computer is slightly more accessible for traditional rock music fans and should be listened to before venturing into KID A. I think this is still their best album, but my opinion might change again tomorrow…

5 star album no doubts about it, one of the best from the 90’s.

Classic album deserves to be on the list, but after getting it earlier in this competition I prefer at San Quentin to this.

So last night my wife was randomly listening to the Mamma Mia sound track, so we both found it hilarious I randomly got ABBA’s album today.

Anyways this album is a total guilty pleasure really enjoyable danceable pop, really deserves its place on the list with so many absolutely classic songs, just not my personal taste that I’d listen to it frequently or be requesting it at parties. So a soild 3 stars.

My 500th album and it’s bloody Coldplay…

All things aside this is actually a good album, early Coldplay is actually really good, i would say this album is their peak. The problem being more recently they have released absolute gash music , and Chris Martin is one of the most annoying people on the planet, plus they have become one of the biggest bands in the world makes them very easy to hate.

But ignoring the Coldplay hate, this album alone deserves to be on the list. But it would never make my regular rotation so 3 stars it is.

Obviously has the hit song, but not convinced the rest of the album holds up, hence does it really deserve it’s place on the list?

Never heard of this album or Richard or Linda before (until I realised Richard was in fairport connection) but was immediately drawn in by the album cover. Really enjoyed this great folk album, will be added to my rotation. Just short of the full 5 stars.

Very over sexed middle of the road outdated glam rock. Not a great album but a few catchy songs gets it 2 stars.

Never heard of Nilsson before, being a fan of the Beatles this was a pleasant surprise, really good album, deserves to be on the list and will make my frequent rotation.

Nope really didn’t enjoy this one, don’t need to hear a shitty keyboard version of classical songs. Gave me a headache. Trying to think of reasons for this needing to be on the list to avoid giving it 1 star. Some folk must like it but I really didn’t.

Never heard of TTD before listening to this, good album deserves to be on the list, but just not to my personal taste to make it 4 stars.
