Bert Jansch

5/5

This was great. Love a guitar picker. I've never heard of Bert Jansch but I'm a fan now. This is how I hear myself when I pick up a guitar, just before I touch the strings...

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

I really liked this for some reason. I thought it was hauntingly mellow for the most part. Another one where it's on track 4 for the second time before I realise it's looped already and I'm listening to the same thing I've already heard. Yeah, really flows well this one.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

4/5

It's Motörhead, so you never know quite what you're going to get. ...said nobody. This is a classic though!

5/5

Liam's voice was something else. This is an absolute classic now. We knew it was great at the time right enough. Britpop FTW! ;oP

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

4/5

This has a bit of a Zappa vibe about it. This is a pretty smooth album, great one to play while working. JC Hates Faggots maybe nsfw, lol.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

all killer

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

A real blast from the past. Instantly transported to the summer of 1994 as a 15 year old hanging out with my mates, not a worry in the world and no idea what the future would hold. No need, it's so far away right‽

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

4/5

floaty, ethereal. there were saws and possibly theramins at parts. really interesting album and I enjoyed it a lot.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

Cypress Hill

3/5

I mean, you already know what this album sounds like. Cypress Hill

Sail Away

Randy Newman

4/5

Immediate hit of toy story vibe of course. Lonely at the top, Sounds like old black Louisiana blues/jazz performer, playing in his dungarees on a deck outside a shop on a box. Absolutely stunning. Album definitely has 'musicals' influence. Some tracks feel very broadway

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Every track sounds like it could have been in a Sony Bravio advert. Not familiar with the band, they remind me a bit of The Pretty Reckless.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

what a treat.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Enjoyed that, blast from the very past.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

2/5

one of the songs said Gene Simmons

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

essential listening.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

4/5

I never got what the fuss was with Tom Waits, now I do. That was great, can see how he's so influential.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

Happy vibes. I'd have been a great hippie.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

3/5

Made me feel like I was in a Mr Robot montage where I was probably hacking something in a garage while someone else was spray painting in a dark alley. Definitely got Tetris 64 vibes from a lot of the tracks. Not really my bag this, but not awful!

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

4/5

Great, too short really. Blindsided by the last track! :grin:

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

4/5

Pleasantly surprised. Before listening to this I'd have said under 40 minutes is plenty of Rod Stewart at once. I always wondered what the fuss was with him but actually his voice sounded great on this album.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

4/5

I enjoyed that. Again, would have been a great hippie me.

All Directions

The Temptations

4/5

Yeah great, this version of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is an excellent effort.

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

3/5

I actually liked this more than I expected to. A lot of NSFW content but I never got the appeal of Ian Dury growing up. This is far more melodic than I expected.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

5/5

Loved this.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

Liam's voice was something else. This is an absolute classic now. We knew it was great at the time right enough. Britpop FTW! ;oP

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

another classic. Man in the mirror is a great song.

Femi Kuti

4/5

Pretty decent. Could hear this being played on a loop at like an outdoor pizza / pop-up bars food quadrant during the Edinburgh festival or something.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

4/5

It's Motörhead, so you never know quite what you're going to get. ...said nobody. This is a classic though!

Bert Jansch

5/5

This was great. Love a guitar picker. I've never heard of Bert Jansch but I'm a fan now. This is how I hear myself when I pick up a guitar, just before I touch the strings...

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

3/5

I've not been a huge fan of Jerry Lee Lewis but listening to this you can really feel that old rock & roll thing. These bands were game changers, must have been a great time to be a teen.

Joan Baez

3/5

Nice enough, couple of pretty good covers in there. Probably wouldn't look it out.

The Grand Tour

George Jones

2/5

Always thought George Jones was a bit overrated and this didn't change my mind I'm afraid. Really short album though at just 28 minutes for 11 songs.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

4/5

Yeah that was actually very good. I was going to listen to a track or two then move on but actually played the whole album. Sounds like they were great live.

Purple Rain

Prince
