Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols
Sex Pistols
The Godfathers of Punk! One of my favourite albums of all time. Crunching guitar, snarling in your face vocals, solid album.

Ananda Shankar
Not for me. The sitar is a beautiful instrument and the ambition to record a crossover style album is understandable, but it sounded more like muzak than anything fresh.

Let Love Rule
Lenny Kravitz
Easily one of the greatest debut albums of all time. The Beatles influence is strong, but not dominating. Sometimes the layers upon layers of vocal tracks gets a tad overwhelming, but otherwise the technique is used to great effect (a la George Martin). Hands down, the title track is an all-time classic and in today's political and pandemic fatigued world, would be a welcome reminder to be good to one another. Also, Karl Denson's saxophone solo on Let Love Rule is one of absolute greatest in recorded history and a joy to the ears everytime I hear it.

Machine Head
Deep Purple
One of the giants of rock and the album that out them there. The legendary first chords learned by a generation of guitar players was the opening riff from the rock anthem Smoke On The Water. Richie Blackmore's guitar icon status aside, the secret sauce of Machine Head is Jon Lord's revolutionary sound design created by piping his Hammond organ through a Marshall amplifier, giving Deep Purple a key component of their signature sound. A landmark album front to back.

Always preferred this band with Young onboard. The vocal harmonies alone are mindblowing, but overall just a fantastic front to back album.

Brian Eno is the king of chill and that's what I appreciate about him. His pre-ambient days, like this album are alien to me. Interesting music nonetheless, but not something particularly enjoy.
