Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

The soundtrack of my youth. Hard to compare any album to the ones you had in your car when you first passed your test. Still one of my all-time favourites.

Deep Purple

4/5

Never really listened to their stuff, only when it was in a various compilation. Quite enjoyed this.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

It's fine. I wasn't totally in the mood which didn't help. I've listened to her material before and enjoyed it though.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

The soundtrack of my youth. Hard to compare any album to the ones you had in your car when you first passed your test. Still one of my all-time favourites.

3/5

Maybe a slew of 60's prog-rock has put me off a bit in the last few albums. Musically tired, lyrically just boring.
