£30 well spent on vocalist Claire Torry!

"This show is being recorded for an album release on Columbia Records, and you can't say 'hell' or 'shit' or anything like that." "How does that grab you, Bob?"

Son, I'm 30 I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty

So much more than just Come On Eileen. Great horns all over the album. Not that far from Housemartins at certain tracks.

I think i'm alive. Probably just breathing. This album has it all. One of the coolest thing ever recorded. Those 3 opening songs are out of this world. One of the best album closer ever in Cop Shoot Cop. A perfect album cover.

A bit slow. Member of longpigs.

Some funky parts but overall very bad r&b.

So much more than just Come On Eileen. Great horns all over the album. Not that far from Housemartins at certain tracks.

Sounds like Joni Mitchell singing on a few tracks, really nice voice.

Cool for what it is, and if you like old County. One of the inventors(?) of the sub genre "the bakersfield sound"!

Really good new-wave/synth-pop that aged extremly well.

Good, but prefer Dolittle! Where is my mind is great.

Some bad Rolling Stones imitation songs.

Best track: Miles From Nowhere and the obvious Father And Son.

Reasons to be beatiful is nice.

Soundtrack to a non existent crime movie.

I think i'm alive. Probably just breathing. This album has it all. One of the coolest thing ever recorded. Those 3 opening songs are out of this world. One of the best album closer ever in Cop Shoot Cop. A perfect album cover.

Headphones on. Sit down in a nice chair. Dream away. Absolutely brilliant and beautiful.

Cool tjej och en uppenbar inspiration och förebild för många kommande Norhern Soul-artister!

Show Biz Kids is nice. The Man Don't Give a Fuck by Super Furry Animals has taken that sample. But Donald Fagen is being an ass about it so that's -1!

Not bad for an album that was recorded in 2 days and cost 600 punds to make!

3.5! Some boring songs but Powderfinger and Hey Hey, My My are great.

Boring

Raw. As. Hell.

Trampled Under Foot is funky as hell!

The super cool Stevie Nicks doing great vocals on Angels, Sara and Sisters Of The Moon. Thats All For Everyone and Not That Funny are great as well.

Väldigt nära en 1:a. Skärpning!

"This show is being recorded for an album release on Columbia Records, and you can't say 'hell' or 'shit' or anything like that." "How does that grab you, Bob?"

Lee Scratch Perry helped him write Big Muff. Good song!

Out of the blue is perfect. The whole album could be a Bowie album.

Boring!

The original version of No Woman No Cry is pretty amazing compared the the more famous live version.

Cool Helter Skelter cover. Best songs: Switch, Hong Kong Garden and Nictone Stain.

Härlig salsa från 50-talet!

Best: Rags to Rags & Mental

Buddy Holly!

School är toppen. Resten också bra. Som Queen, kanske t.om bättre?!

Bra första halva med bl.a Dirty Boots och Kool Thing men sen blir det för ojämnt och dåligt.

Härliga backing vocals och bra munspel är det som räddar detta från ett sämre betyg.

Love the funky bass. Guitars could have been Johnny Marr. Perfect mix of early madchester-sound and more depressing post-punk. Best: Barmby, Spoilt Victorian Child, Cruisers Creek och My New House.

Jump Into The Fire!

Trad jazz utan blåsinstrument, bara piano, trummor och bas. Lite väl slött. Objektivt: 5 Subjektivt: 2 Totalt: 3!

Det här är en genre som bör förbjudas. Dom får en tvåa tack vare att det antagligen är det bästa som kan representera genren.

Bättre än när Bruce sjunger iallafall!

Ganska härligt funkig och soulig jämfört med hans mer poppiga skivor. Working Day and Night och It's the falling in love är sköna!

Inte hans bästa, men en extra stark 3:a! Perfekta albumet om man vill begå självmord!

Lite mer rockigt än The Boatmans Call.

80-talet komprimerat till ett album.

Någon typ av Slovensk industriell rock. Två(!) covers på Live is Life. Eventuellt en liten inspirationskälla hos Rammstein så dom slipper undan en 1:a.

Hitkavalkad! Ready Teddy! Det finns en Little Richard biografi som är skriven av Charles White som heter The Life and Times of Little Richard. I den står det om en kväll då han och Buddy Holly spelade på samma ställe. Han satt i logen och hängde med sin väninna som annars jobbade som strippa, föga förvånande att hon hette Angel. För att göra sig redo för spelningen ville han dra en runk medans Angel suttade på hans bröstvårta, enligt Little Richard hade hon "the fastest tongue in the west". Och mitt i kalaset klampar Buddy Holly in i logen, istället för att vända på klacken och gå ut igen så ska han bara ha "halat" fram den och Angel svarade med en subtil invit och händelseförloppet var som följer "She opened up her legs and he put it in her. He was having sex with Angel, I was jacking off, and Angel was sucking me when they introduced his name on stage. He finished and went to the stage still fastening himself up. I’ll never forget that. He came and he went.”

Indeed!

Bäst: Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.

Mer klassisk jazz jämfört med hans andra i listan. Inte lika roligt men perfekt som bakgrunds-musik.

Bäst: Through A Long and Sleepless Night Dock lite för segt för högre betyg.

Börjar bra men tappar lite mot andra halvan.

Jazz fusion! Rockigt med el-gitarrer och väldigt experimentellt.

Instrumental hip hop. Härliga grejer.

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else

Lite för ojämnt för högsta betyg!

Gnällig och jävligt släpig röst när han sjunger live. Plus för att detta är den berömda Judas!-konserten.

Fantastiskt! FN hade infört reseförbud till Sydafrika pga Apartheid. Det sket Paul i. Han åkte dit och gjorde albumet tillsammans med lokala artister ändå. Nästan en 5:a.

Son, I'm 30 I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty

1:orna behöver sparas till sämre grejer, men det här var riktigt mjäkig rock.

6

FACT-275! Brilliant. Fun fact: none of the song titles are mentioned in the lyrics.

Lite ojämn och tappar mot slutet, men dom bra låtarna är riktigt bra.

Ganska tamt. Poppigt och väldigt ospännande.

Hardcore :(

Lite Lush-känsla över ganska många låtar, inte minst Did You See Butterflies. Slow Motion är 5/5. Coolt folk-sound blandat med drömpop.

Stay With Me och Memphis är bra grejer!

Kanske en 5:a om det inte varit för alla töntiga interludes som inte bidrar med något.

They were pretty decent before this one as well, but this is where it really took off. It's the start of a brilliant run of albums with Setting Sons and Sound Affects coming after this. Especially love the last tracks on here; A' Bomb in Wardour Street and Down In The Tubestation At Midnight.

Ordentligt sväng i Live And Let Live!

Otrolig avslutning på albumet med Mrs Robinson -> A Hazy Shade Of Winter -> At The Zoo

Rätt stökiga, ostrukturerade melodier och många olika typer av sound genom hela albumet. På ett bra sätt! Dock lite för modernt och fräscht för min smak!

A Simple Desultory Philippic är en 5+ sarkastisk sågning av Bob Dylan.

Väldigt jazzigt. Någon typ av fejkad live-spelning inspelad i en studio. Mysigt men långt ifrån hans bästa.

Creation Records at their absolute peak! They released this one, Loveless AND Screamadelica all within 2 months! Good job, Alan!

Nää. En dålig kopia av Dolly Parton? Då åker sågen fram!

En fantastisk debut!

Skönt lo-fi sound. Ganska likt Dinosaur Jr vilket inte är så konstigt eftersom Lou Barlow därifrån är med även här. Det är lite för ojämnt med ett gäng usla låtar, men Sacred Attention och Bouquet for a Siren är otroligt bra.

Its a bit all over the place with mixed genres, but still somehow, much like Sandinista by The Clash, the end result come together(!) as a great album. Had no idea Eric Claption played guitar on Whil My Guitar Gently Weeps!

Här var det psykadelisk hippie-musik för hela slanten. Ganska bra egentligen men blev slut i huvudet av de otroliga skeva lyricsen efter halva albumet. En kropp fullproppad med LSD hade nog gett en 5:a!

What a lovely, funky, jazz album! Really cool with the organ. Best track: Minor Chant.

Pretty bad. The voice of the singer made me want to hit him.

Lovely PJ Harvey duet.

Otroligt menlöst. Kassa vocals, långa tråkiga låtar. Våga släppa loss, grabbar!

Oj, omöjligt att inte bli sugen på en rökig blues-bar i New Orleans eller Chicago när man hör detta!

Ganska trött avslagen jazz-pop från Steely Dan-snubben. Ungefär 1/5 så bra som omslaget.

Förlåt, men tål inte Bruce röst.

£30 well spent on vocalist Claire Torry!

Ganska tamt förutom Psycho Killer och Pulled Up...

A perfect debut and post-punk album. They turned a bit more artsy and mellow after this one. I love the rawness on here Best: Crocodiles, Villiers Terrace

Relaxing!

Skön röst men det är ärligt talat bara under de sista 2 minuterna av albumet som det händer något spännande.

Älskar And It Stoned Me. Första halvan är bra men sen tröttnar man lite.

Mysigt men har glömt det om 2 dagar.

Tycker aldrig den här typen av instrumental post-rock lyfter riktigt.

As sicmagazine so nicely put it: "For 64 minutes they were the greatest band on the planet."

A hipsters dream.

Några sköna låtar. Proto punk och säkert skitcoolt när albumet släpptes i slutet på 60-talet. Men det står sig svagt mot t.ex Stooges.

Blue Lines, Protection, Mezzanine. One of the greatest run of albums ever!

Stop being a racist and get back with Marr!

16 Shells From a Thirty-Ought-Six!

He has nothing on Little Richard! 3 thanks to the album cover.

Annoying.

Väldigt ojämn.

Booooooooring.

Very much like Joni Mitchell it gets a bit exhausting listening to a whole album with the type of voice she has.

Nice jazz!

Its no Different Class. A bit too long. Best: Help The Aged, This Is Hardcore, I'm A Man.

That cover photo is taken from Fat Peoples Festival, in Danville 1983, and the guy is still not identified. But was there ever a festival like that? Rabbit hole warning! https://www.reddit.com/r/nonmurdermysteries/comments/lw1wlj/the_identity_of_the_man_on_fatboy_slims_album/ And the the songs are great too! Best: Rockafeller Skank, Gangster Trippin, Praise You.

Absolutely not what i expected. Weird and funny lyrics. To do the Wall Street Shuffle Let your money hustle Bet you'd sell your mother You can buy another

Nice!

Not as boring as expected. Southbound Again was pretty nice.

Master Of Sparks was a brilliant tune. If only the second half were as good as the first.

Liked how its divided in two very different halves!

The perfect energy booster.

I could do without a few of the blues covers, and i could definitely do without Robert Plant screaming like a giant baby on most of the songs.

They should have just looped Africano for 40 minutes.

Oh, fuckin' hell.

Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean. Not a bad run of songs.

Talking Heads if they were bad.

Spacey live album that has its moments.

First record with a computerized image on the album cover! And what a record it is!

Doesn't really hold up to its excellent album cover. Singer has some great Joni Mitchell vibes. A sailors life developed into something really nice.

Cooler that expected!

Criminally generic and boring.

Nice voice!

Simply too much pop, but Dear Jessie was nice!

Good and simple debut!

Unexpectedly boring.

What the hell was that?!

Beautiful but maybe a bit boring at times? "I Could Be Dreaming" was nice.

Party!

Björk is on fire.

Gäsp!

Pitchfork electro pop.

Far from the best post punk album but it was clear that Inspiral Carpets got a lot of inspiration from these guys! Some great use of the hammond and horns.

I'm a sucker for this type of chilled acoustic folk music. He has the perfect voice for it as well.

Absolutely terrible modern R&B.

Nice and simple 60s pop. They obviously influenced the Beatles.

Not bad, but she's no Kate Bush (even though she's trying her best).

How many times can you sing 'baby' on an album? Answer within!

Spretigt. Mest klassisk hårdrock men även en del funk, metal osv. Något med rösten som jag inte gillar.

Pretty average new wave synth pop.

Those drums are just too good for a 1.

En ganska blek Nick Drake-kopia.

Pretty chill reggae, but including this while having 0 Toots & The Maytals albums should be illegal.

Love the flow and how the tracks seamlessly goes into each other. Etoh was a highlight.

Rätt bra story telling på en del låtar men överlag ganska tamt. Bra röst!

As far as boring singer songwriter album goes this one is pretty decent. The Byrds guy.

You would have thought that making one album that is a soundtrack to a movie that doesnt exist is enough for most artists. But here's the second one from this man. And this one was great fun. First track is some Madchester/Acid House fusion with Jarvis Cocker singing and then its just a wild ride into weird jazzy and funky tracks until suddenly Nick Cave is appearing on The Sweetest Embrace with his lovely vocals. Nice!

It's just way too smooth.

As if Tracy Chapman merged with Joni Mitchell. Love the funky tracks.

Too long but quite a few good tracks. Reminded me of R.E.M.

Straight up punk!

Strong Blondie-vibes!

Like their upbeat stuff more. Not really a fan of the synth-pop ballads on here.

0/5, that was terrible in all possible ways. Just generic radio pop done in a bad way.

"This is the second Simply Red song on this tape. One's unforgivable. Two's a war crime. Can I fast-forward?"

Boring country.

Nice voice!

Mostly pretentious and whiny as usual with Radiohead. But Jigsaw Falling Into Place bumps it up to a 3.

Really good when it's good but just as bad when it's bad. Horrible album cover!

Awesome female punk with horns!

Nice bossa nova!

Has Everyday People on it so cannot give it less than a 4. Also better than There's A Riot Going On.

Payback time. From wiki: "Gray believes that the success of White Ladder paved the way for 'soul-baring' artists such as James Blunt, Ed Sheeran, George Ezra, James Bay and Tom Walker."

Very stripped down. Nice!

Nice flute!

California Stars!

Like a really bad and down tempo version of The Housemartins.

Let's all drink to the death of a clown!

The Way Young Lovers Do är en 5:a men resten blir rätt gnälligt.

It starts with Like A Rolling Stone and ends with Desolation Row so it cannot be anything but a 5.
