Wow, this was crazy, I thought I knew Chicago. This was almost Hendrix like in places. Really interesting album.

The Stranger by Billy Joel

Really good album, so used to hi greatest hits it was great to listen to the original album and get the added song flow. Loved it.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

What a fantastic album, no incredible songs but consistently good. Well matched to his voice in particular. Will listen to this again for sure

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton

Classic, but can't forgive the artist for racism, and anti mask politics

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jan 13 2021

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jan 15 2021

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 18 2021

Loved it, great stuff, keeping 5s for really amazing stuff

Ten by Pearl Jam

Some amazing songs some better left behind, so good argument to stick with top songs or greatest hits VS full album, a little like Queen.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 20 2021

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Jan 21 2021

Great voice! Even understood a bit with my French. Very fun

Ramones by Ramones
Jan 22 2021

Jan 23 2021

Fun if a little juvenile. Last song was the album save for me.

Moving Pictures by Rush

Great album one of my favourites, some good songs and some great songs. Limelight could not be more relevant today than the day it was written.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jan 26 2021

Wow, some classic hits, but loved the other tracks, still a little wierd but with a more folk background it was less jarring. Loved it!!
