91.80* The irony of this album is that even though 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond' & 'Wish you were Here' are the popular go to tracks, 'Welcome to the Machine' & 'Have a Cigar' are actually better. I think I've just been over saturated with the two main songs over the years 09/25 [First added to this chart: 04/19/2022]

90.33* When you can listen to a double album right through and love it all, you know it's a good thing. Yet another example of why Zeppelin deserve the legendary status they have. They really are the kings of consistent songwriting supremacy. 03/25 [First added to this chart: 04/19/2022]

87.272* Another early introduction for me into the world of rock that paved the way for musical preferences. I was one of those obnoxious pricks that went round school reciting the Vincent Price part of Black Widow all the time. I thought I was so neat. What a prat. 01/26 [First added to this chart: 04/19/2022]

87.14 This was another that was instilled into me from an early age through the brothers collection. I still love it. Nobody else I know even likes it. That's amusing. [First added to this chart: 04/19/2022]

One of the first hard rock albums I bought so I have a soft spot for it. Kicking off full tilt with 'Let it Roll' & 'Shoot Shoot'. The slower numbers fit in well and the whole album has a great flow. Very under rated as anything Michael Schenker touched during this period is true gold. [First added to this chart: 04/19/2022]

78.57* Classic sounding guitar driven 70's rock band. I didn't know much about them prior to this. I'd read about them but couldn't recall anything they sang. On hearing 'Slow Ride' things clicked. The whole albums good. Very happy discovering them. Good old Foghat. Hoorah. 03/25 [First added to this chart: 10/15/2024]

76.545* Good stepping stone to the acclaim they found with 'Rumours'. There are some of their best ever songs on this, but I do find it's an album of 50% gold, 50% filler. Landslide was featured in South Park, you know. That's high accolades. 02/26 [First added to this chart: 09/11/2025]
