Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Didn't listen. Well I got three tracks in and it was all horrible white man blues and then the the guy started singing 'You're gonna be my little girl, you've been through 18 years of pain' which really creeped me out. Zero on all counts. Zero zero zero zero zero

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh

Production: 8/20 Songwriting: 7/20 Innovation: 15/20 Presence of pure bangers: 0/20 Emotional response: 6/20 =36

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jan 15 2021

Me and my mate used to drink in the same pub him in Chorlton. He’s reyt grumpy when you ask him to song you a song. Indie!

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jan 18 2021

Yeh. Nice. Bit of trip hop. I got really into trip hop like 11 years ago but then I got out of it again. Great.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 20 2021

Not bad! But it wasn’t great either. A lot of simpering shite songs.

Jan 22 2021

The good tracks are so good and well-produced! But the few annoying songs and all the abrasive leads knock a start off for me.

Abbey Road by Beatles
