485. LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening - I've always thought i'd like LCD but have never given any of their albums a listen. Turns out, yeah, I do like them. Very enjoyable (lengthy) electro/dance tracks with big influences from Bowie/Roxy etc

486. Teenage Fanclub - Grand Prix - Jangly guitar pop stuff. Not especially my thing nowadays but pleasant enough. I preferred the tracks that were a little different, like Verisimilitude. @uncutmagazine.bsky.social #500greatalbums

487. The Raincoats - Odyshape - A very timeless sounding album. It would be hard to place it if it wasn't for the vocals. Quite proggy, quite minimalist, very avant garde. I think if I listened to it more it'd grow on me. Reminded me of Laurie Anderson a bit.

488. The Cure - Seventeen Seconds - Really liked this. It has a similar deadening production that The Idiot had but they seem to lean into it a lot more. I've head A Forest countless times before but everything else was new to me and has the same 'evil' vibe

489. Bob Marley & The Wailers - Natty Dread -Enjoyable to listen to. Not something I would probably return to but wouldn't be upset to hear again. Them Belly Full was a highlight.

490. Chuck Berry - After School Session - Lovely trebbly sounds. Disappointed there aren't more 'hits' on this one as these early records were more single collections then albums. Really liked the instrumental tracks.

491. Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music. Quite chill. I liked the spacier sounding songs more than the more traditional ones. With this, and the earlier Uncle Tupelo album, I've come to terms with the fact I don't dislike Country as much as I thought.

492. Cardiacs - Sing to God. First Cardiacs listen for me. Fuck me. What to say about this album? It's mental! Like an anxiety ridden Blur/Mansun/Rush pompousity fused ride. I loved it and hated it at the same time. I'll have to listen to it again sometime when I've calmed down.

493. Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A. First listen to the Boss for me. Really enjoyed it, sounded like a man right at the top of his game. Unabashedly big sounding tunes. Catchy melodies and heart firmyl on sleeve lyrics.

494. The Pogues - Rum Sodomy & the Lash. First time listening to the Pogues. Lots of fun this one, varies from boozy ballads to poignant tracks about the pointlessness of war.

495. Randy Newman - Good Old Boys. The first album on this list I didn't really get on with at all. Was excited to hear as I only really knew him from that Toy Story song and that sketch from Family Guy. I'm sure it has its fans but just didnt gel with me.

496. The Beatles - Let It Be. Another one I own. It's a good record, probably the worst of their albumy albums (since Help!) but the Beatles at their worst are still amazing. Really love Two Of Us and I Me Mine.

497. Iggy Pop - The Idiot. The first of these records that I already own. There's some great songs but overall I find the production to be very flat. I get that minimalism was kinda the point but not sure it works with Iggy's OTT energy.

498. Uncle Tupelo - March 16-20, 1992. I've not listened to much country before and have never heard of this band (turned out some members formed Wilco) but I really liked this. The opener and Sandusky are big standouts.

499. Massive Attack - Protection - I own Mezzanine and Blue Lines but not heard this before. A lot more chill than Mezzanine, but missing something. Recognised a few songs, probably from MTV in the 90's. #uncut500

500. Crosby, Stills & Nash - Crosby, Stills & Nash - I'm a big Neil Young fan so was interested to listen to his sometime musical cohorts. It's a nice album, not much really stood out to me but I imagine it would with further listens.

Currently going through Uncuts 500 Greatest albums list. Have got to 491 so far, might give my very short review of each. I say might, I'm clearly going to do it anyway.

Order of the Sinking Star looks very good, it'd be nice if everyone stopped making games for a year so that I could catch up.
