Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs
I Looked Away - Very nice start!
Bell Bottom Blues - Brilliant.
Keep On Growing - Long, but fun throughout.
Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out - Too slow for me.
I Am Yours - Wow, this was different!
Anyday - Alright, but loooong.
Key To The Highway - Longer still!
Tell The Truth - Had its moments.
Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad? - My attention was starting to wander after the last few long ones, but this dragged it back.
Have You Ever Loved A Woman? - Again, just a bit too drawn out for my tastes.
Little Wing - I like.
It's Too Late - Not bad.
Layla - Flawless. Even the long instrumental doesn't feel over the top.
Thorn Tree In The Garden - Short but sweet finish.
8/10

I'd mark it down because Eric Clapton wants more of us to catch Covid 19.

Just looked it up with his song with Van Morrison. god that's annoying
The White Stripes - Elephant
This album cements my theory that lengthy song titles are a defining feature of alternative rock.
Seven Nation Army - it actually blew my mind to find that for some time when I was alive, this riff didn't exist. It seems so ubiquitous.
Black Math - ok now back to obscurity. This one was nice.
There's No Home For You Here - damn.
I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself - nice enough.
In The Cold, Cold Night - ooo very different. I like!
I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart - nice.
You've Got Her In Your Pocket - also nice.
Ball and Biscuit - good, bit too long
The Hardest Button to Button - oh I know this.
Little Acorns - strange. Not bad though
Hypnotise - decent
The Air Near My Fingers - alright?
Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine - pretty good.
Well It's True That We Love One Another - oh how meta
A little better than Weezer. 7.5/10

Added The Killers - Sam's Town to the backlog, as it's getting thin.
Yeah, I read about that. I'd say it affects my rating of him as a person rather than any specific album and its music, though.

The White Stripes - Elephant
Seven Nation Army - Takes me right back to secondary school every time, fantastic.
Black Math - Also nostalgic, and good.
There’s No Home for You Here - Failed to chart apparently, which might explain why I don't remember hearing it before. I liked it, though!
I Just Don’t Know What to Do with Myself - Brilliant cover.
In the Cold, Cold Night - Loved this back in the day (and still do) but I genuinely forgot this was by The White Stripes, as I associate them with Jack White's vocals! 
I Want to Be the Boy to Warm Your Mother’s Heart - Not bad.
You’ve Got Her in Your Pocket - Noice.
Ball and Biscuit - Good, especially the guitar solos, but long.
The Hardest Button to Button - Yes.
Little Acorns -
Hypnotize - Short filler, sounds okay.
The Air Near My Fingers - Meh.
Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine - Clever.
Well It’s True That We Love One Another - Odd, not sure what to make of it.
Another 8/10, the first half was pure nostalgia.

Even if they had never recorded one more song, Seven Nation Army would be a wonderful musical legacy.
Metallica2, aka The Black Album
Barely listened to Metallica before. I think I knew One and Enter Sandman.
Enter Sandman - yes
Sad But True - also good. I wonder if the style will wear on me though.
Holier Than Thou - well, so far still good.
The Unforgiven - best guitar solo so far. the rest is alright.
Wherever I May Roam - nice.
Don't Tread On Me - that explains the Gadsden snake.
Through The Never - alright.
Nothing Else Matters - probably the best one so far
Of Wolf And Man - okay.
The God That Failed - ditto
My Friend Of Misery - to answer my earlier question, yes.
The Struggle Within - ehhh.
It kind of declined with the last four songs, which is a shame, because I liked it a fair bit at the start. 7/10

Enter Sandman - I often heard this blaring from my brother's room, years ago, but not with enough clarity for me to make out the lyrics. Now that I hear them, I like them.
Sad But True -
Holier Than Thou - Alright, but starting to sound samey already!
The Unforgiven - Loved this one.
Wherever I May Roam - Good.
Don’t Tread on Me - Powerful.
Through the Never - Okay.
Nothing Else Matters - Different, nice.
Of Wolf and Man -
The God That Failed - Forgettable.
My Friend of Misery - Sounds like several others I've heard so far. Guitar solos were quite nice, though.
The Struggle Within - Unremarkable.
Agreed, 7/10

Also another suggestion: Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
(I found out surprisingly late that this wasn't the meme song)

Red is a Christmas colour, right? Some of the song titles are on theme too, for 2020 at least.
Three step link from King Crimson to where I live.
Robert Fripp is a member of King Crimson.
Robert Fripp is married to Toyah Willcox.
Toyah Willcox has an album called Sheep Farming in Barnet.
There is no sheep farming in Barnet any more- it referred to a petting farm now closed. We only have horses and cattle now.

Matt Bellamy from Muse has also farmed sheep in the past
there's another link
Also fun bit of trivia: Killing In The Name by RATM was the Christmas no. 1 not too long ago, just to prevent it going to the winner of X Factor
King Crimson - Red
tbh it was only a matter of time before I nominated this album anyway. I'd listened to the whole album maybe once before, didn't really remember any of it before listening today (except Starless).
Red - very noice instrumental
Fallen Angel - very noice song all-round
Once More Red Nightmare - continues to be good
Providence - violin goes surprisingly well with prog rock
Starless - the only song from the album I knew beforehand (since I was like, 9). This is one of my very favourite songs, up there with Layla and It's Late. But it affects me in a much different way to those two.
Maybe it's because I've been tipsy all evening, but **** it I'll give this a 10, why not.

King Crimson - Red
Red - Decent instrumental opening.
Fallen Angel - Nice sounds, with lyrics that aren't quite so cheerful sounding. Little long and slow.
One More Red Nightmare - Best so far.
Providence - Loved it, very creepy and dramatic sounds.
Starless - That nice sounding woodwind instrument.
Brilliant ending.
8/10

Fixed.
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
What’s Going On - Very pleasant.
What’s Happening Brother - Nice.
Flyin’ High (In the Friendly Sky) - Wow.
Save the Children - More of the same, still good.
God Is Love - Not my cup of tea. And then it ended mid sentence, which I wasn't expecting!
Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) - This was different! Loved the instrumentals and vocals starting and stopping.
Right On - Nice latin sound, but a bit long.
Wholy Holy - Sounds okay, but religious lyrics don't do much for me.
Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) - And ending on the best track, IMO!
