Rolling Stone's 481st greatest album of all time
D'Angelo isn't an artist I was familiar with. I would have assumed this album would be hip-hop, and was a little surprised at the soulfulness of the songs. However despite the first few songs being quite enjoyable, thereafter it descends into poor Prince demo tracks.

Rolling Stone's 62nd greatest album of all time
Phenomenal album, and I am so glad to have finally listened to it in its entirety. So many classic hard rock songs on here (as well as *that* one), from the aggressive pomp of Welcome to the Jungle to the aggressive pomp of Nightrain and the aggressive pomp of Mr Brownstone, it is an absolute classic.

Rolling Stone's 454th greatest album of all time (2020)
I had heard of this album through Elis James' podcast as he is a big fan. I was expecting it to be much more MC5-style garage rock, so was surprised at how experimental and noisy it was. While a little disappointed (based on my own overbuilt expectations), I will give it another listen later.

Rolling Stone's 479th greatest album of all time (2020)
I wouldn't dare suggest this has been added to the list to give more diversity, and if it had been that would not be a bad thing. But it really is a dreadful album of low quality 90s Eurovision rejects. "Bidi bidi bom bom" and a Spanish language cover of The Pretenders' "Back on the Chain Gang". Yeesh.

Good but not quite there
Slaves are like marmite. You either love them or hate them. In my instance, this album is what made me come to enjoy Slaves, but in no way do I recognise this at their best album. As much as it's full of punchy punk revival bops, they aren't as well thought out as I think they possibly could be.

May 18, 2020
Rolling Stone's 324th greatest album of all time
Interesting Bowie album, only a few songs here but one of those lasts over 10 minutes. Golden Years was the only song I was familiar with beforehand so it was a new experience. While this isn't Bowie's best material, it is consistent with the style of his better work, so a reassuring listen. Good 70s glam rock.

May 26, 2020
Rolling Stone's 280th greatest album of all time
If you were alive in 2000 you couldn't avoid the singles from this album - Beautiful Day, Elevation and Stuck in a Moment. Similarly, if you ever watch a British football highlights programme there is a 76% chance you will hear one of these three during the programme. Other than the singles, the rest is very forgettable and typical U2.

Rolling Stone's 395th greatest album of all time (433rd in the 2020 list)
Absolutely phenomenal album, featuring the truly epic All My Friends (or Dancing with Dave as fans of Elis James and John Robins might refer to it). Top notch anthemic dance/indie, at times being reminiscent of Radio 4 and The Rapture. Oh, and apparently they aren't British, they are North American.
