Pearl by Janis Joplin

Really, really good. Makes you want to take a star off everything else to make it look better still.

Just a classic. Interesting this threw up one I've played a thousand times for my first one, but glad it did! Graham

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins

Erm... lovely shoegaze soundscape, but genuinely unintelligible lyrics. Enunciate, woman.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jan 14 2021

Enjoyed it, sleazy and funky, but also quite forgettable.

Be by Common
Jan 18 2021

Meh. Alright, I suppose.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 20 2021

Can't decide. Some of this is standard mid-90s interchangeable Morrisette/Liz Phair/AFP/Tori Amos landfill. Lots of it is much more interesting, sleazy jazz style stuff. Enjoyed, but wouldn't listen again.

Aw yis. Very pleased this one popped up. A bit samey, in the end though.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Jan 22 2021

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 23 2021

Quite enjoyed that, although it felt like stories not songs do can't see myself listening again.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jan 24 2021

I never got it, still don't really. Musically fine, but neither singer appeals at all.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 25 2021

That just wasn't as good as I remember. The singles were obviously unparalleled works of godlike genius, but the other half was schmaltzy and forgettable (as evidenced by me having forgotten it).

Phrenology by The Roots
Jan 26 2021

Alright, I suppose. I don't really know enough about rap to distinguish good from bad, tbh.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jan 27 2021

I am beginning to feel like I just don't like music- this had a few amazing moments, but it was mostly plodding and interminable.
