Jurassic 5 - Power in numbers

Another album that has somehow made it onto the list despite average at best reviews, but this is better than some of the other examples in that category.

Fairly laid back hip hop with some catchy tracks.

Placebo - Black Market Music

I remember when it first came out I was disappointed with this album, but it has grown on me a lot over the years.

Not their best IMO, but sits well within their wider body of work.

Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville

How have I never heard this one before? It's right up my street.
Angsty stripped back rock.

Not sure it deserves a place on the top 100 albums of all time (As Rolling Stone has it) but very much enjoyed it.

Leftfield - Leftism

Really enjoyed this blast from the past. But maybe chose the wrong time to listen to it, driving my wife and her colleagues to their Christmas night out whilst I then go home to watch telly.

The White Stripes - White Blood Cells

Exceptional stripped back Garage Rock. Took me a while to catch on the the White Stripes outside of a few big hits, but they were so worth seeking out.

King Crimson - In the court of the Crimson King

The musical equivalent of a Stewart Lee comedy gig. 90% is excellent and so influential to their peers. But then you get the awkward 10% where the repetitiveness goes too far.

Jeff Wayne's musical version of War of the Worlds.

Went for something a little different today. Another regular in the car growing up that I therefore love.

Still holds up really well.

The Beatles - The Beatles (white album).

Legendary and very eclectic album. Not many of their big hits on here, but it's experimental style influenced so much of what was to come after them.

Spiratulized - Ladies and Gentlemen We are Floating into space.

Classic and unique late 90s album Deserves to be remembered more fondly than it is. Whilst it is on most best of lists, it's ranking should generally be higher than its usual mid table.

Deep Purple - In Rock

Ever watched a movie that seems to have 30 minutes of storyline stretched out over 2 hours? That's what this album feels like to me: 90 seconds of content per song, stretched out over 8 minutes.

Dove - The Last Broadcast

know a lot of people love this album, it's Mercury nominated, but I have never even come close to getting it.
To me, this comes across like a poor copy of Coldplay, and I can't stand Coldplay in the first place.

U2 - Achtung Baby

Perhaps the last great U2 album. Although Zooropa and Pop had their moments, this is the last great one end to end for me.

So many great tracks on this. Some filler, but a lot of memorable ones.

Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul

If you were to describe this album, three cheesy 'loverman' songs and an 18 minute story of a guy leaving his ex, they'd probably scoff.

But this is genuinely really good.

Neil Young - Harvest.

An album that has grown on me over the years. Although I knew it was considered legendary, I didn't really get it when I was younger but my tastes have changed. Now I appreciate its slow and mellow mood.

Ocean Colour Scene - Moseley Shoals

Second effort by OCS is so different, and so much better, than their watered down self-titled debut.

As I had this on tape as a teen, it got heavy play on my paper round and therefore holds special memories for me.

Nirvana - Nevermind

Another classic. Arguably Grunge's high watermark, certainly its most successful album.

I imagine most music collections include this album. Still popular with my daughters' generation.

Arrested Development - 3 years, 5 months and 2 days in the life of...

Very much enjoyed this. 90s hip hop but with positive vibes. In an era of aggressive gangsta rap, this must have been a revelation.

Next on the Stone Roses #vinyl marathon

#NowSpinning The Stone Roses - The Second Coming.

I know this album was a big disappointment to many but I think it was great in its own right.

If you forget it came after an unsurmountable predecessor, it's a great stand alone album.

Next up on my Stone Roses #vinyl marathon, This is the one!

#NowSpinning The Stone Roses

Close to a peerless album. Easily in my top 3 but the one of my top 3 that everyone seems to agree with. It makes it onto so many best lists it's crazy, but fully deserved.

Family are out at Wicked so with the house to myself, and after the sad loss of Mani this week, it seems like a good time for a Stone Roses #vinyl marathon.

First up, Turned into Stone.
Great, if somewhat controversial, compilation of their early singles and B-Sides.

Proper gutted to hear of the death of Mani. Along with Peter Hook, Simon Gallup and Andy Rourke, one of those few bassists who could be the lead melodic instrument on a rock song and it still be great.

The bass intro to I Wanna be Adored will remain one of the greatest album openings of all time.

The Cure - Disintegration

If you were to put a gun to my head, I'd probably say this is the greatest album of all time. Whilst that opinion may vary depending on mood, I'm certain Plainsong is the greatest opening track.

The Shamen - En-Tact

Interesting contradiction of an album. On the one hand, it shows they were more than a few gimmick songs. But on the other hand this is too long, with too many remixes, meaning it gets super repetitive.
