Rolling Stone's 382nd greatest album of all time
Brilliant proto-punk album, being at times like a punk version of The Doors, at other times more sombre and melancholy. The mix of these marks this album out apart from other similar albums of the time. I only recognised Roadrunner (because of the disastrous Sex Pistols cover on The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle and listened to MIA's cover just the day before!), but really enjoyed the album. Around halfway through I suddenly recognised Jonathan Richman's voice as being the singer throughout There's Something About Mary.

Rolling Stone's 144th greatest album of all time
This album features so many of the best hip hop songs. While the lyrics and the theme of the album is a little too crime-based, it certainly sets the scene for life on the streets of LA and what they went through growing up. Musically it is excellent as well. Express Yourself is obviously the highlight.

Rolling Stone's 354th greatest album of all time
A good jazzy rock album by Billy Joel, including the hit My Life. I have to admit I was first aware of this song when it was re-interpreted as "Number 1" by the 90s rock band A. An enjoyable jazzy and piano based album, all quite upbeat. So far, no questions over his fire-starting behaviour.

Rolling Stone's 417th greatest album of all time
I am not a fan of U2, so I was pleasantly surprised by this album, as it barely sounds like U2 at all. There is a definite post-punk/new wave feel to the album and much less the bland stadium rock they grew into. I didn't recognise any of the songs but would listen again.

Rolling Stone's 394th greatest album of all time
Easy listening (if you ignore the lyrics!) album, though it has to be said it just sounds like the Toy Story soundtrack (specifically "Strange Things" from the film). As a loose concept album about a deep South character, some of the lyrics and messages are a little strong for the laidback style (most notably on the opener Rednecks).
