Good melodic punk album

Janes addiction are one of those bands Iv heard of but never got round to listening too. This album does sound like a cross over between 80’s hair metal to the 90’s alternative rock that was to follow. Clearly a hugely influential album for 90’s rock music.

First time listening to a Sly album, this one is very good, so much funk and grove but also so dark. This album has clearly been sampled a lot and inspired so much of the hip-hop music that was to follow so many years later. A great dark funk album

Yeah this album wasn’t for me, a bit dated now and maybe not helped I’m listening to this at 8am.

First time listening to Siouxise and the Banshees, loved this album ,really starts with a bang, dark and melodic with great female vocals gives it a right badass feel. Been swaying between and 4 and a 5 all day, but this really is an album I’ll listen to a lot now, so due to personal taste this gets 5 stars.

First time listening to a Roxy music album. Really enjoyed this good mix of catchy and weird songs and a mix of types of music, I assumed this was an 80’s album even more impressive it came out in 1974 clearly ahead of its time.

Finally got round to listening to this on Apple Music. Good album deserves to be on the list, but not sure Neil Youngs voice is well suited on this album. Glad I listened but would rate other NY and CH albums higher.

Love the jam and Paul weller

I love QOTSA. I would rate songs for the deaf, like clockwork and r rated above this album though. It’s a shame they are not on the list. But in there absence their debut is getting a 5. So much sex and swagger to this.

Love the Kinks and I believe this is their best album. Their true masterpiece.

A great easy listening hip hop album

Very interesting Psychedelic album. Hard to believe this came out in the 60’s sounds a lot like Tom waits. Maybe a little dated now.

Great instrumental album, the song green onions is iconic and the covers are good too. Maybe slightly repetitive by the end.

Some great songs on here, but just feels like something is missing compared to the Beatles albums.

Maybe a bad day or just too many 60’s albums but this didn’t do much for me.

The biggest metal band of my generation, one I never really got into when I was a teenager even though I liked heavier music back then. They were both too weird but also too well known. The band everyone asked if you liked when you said you were into metal.

I’m not much of a metal head these days. But I did enjoy this more than I expected this morning, not sure if I’d rush back to it, or start requesting slipknot at parties anytime soon though…

One of those cult albums Iv heard of but never got round to listening to.

Can see what a big influence this album had on bands like Mogawi, feels like it invented the whole post rock genre.

A brilliant atmospheric masterpiece that takes a few listens to really get, but keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way through.

Great band and great album. Not their best but maybe their most accessible. Iconic album cover too.

Love this album, one of the greatest debuts of all time. So ahead of its time it can still give you chills over 40 years later. An absolute masterpiece.

It took me till my 142nd album to get a Beatles one and then I get my second on my 145th… Like buses…

Insert standard pretentious “I tend to only listen to post Rubber Soul Beatles albums” comment

This is one of the great pop records and the first of all original material for the Beatles, one of their best pre Rubber Soul.

Shows the versatility and the progression of the Beatles’ song writing that the same band would go on to record Revolver two years later and the previous year their first two albums were made up 40% of covers.
