Sounds like a load of songs that didn’t quite make the Tony Hawks soundtrack.

Sounds a great gig to be at but the production makes it a difficult to rate highly.

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

2/5

Bland plodding folk rock, most of it sounds like it should be montage music for 70’s American TV shows.

Marquee Moon

Television

3/5

Great album, some great punchy songs and their influence can be heard today still.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

This man could sing The Times Obituary and make it feel uplifting. 11 great songs, averaging about 3 minutes in length each. Would Otis have been able to do this in the modern music Industry?

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

3/5

Unremarkable, inoffensive and over produced. Alright background music.

Scott 4

Scott Walker

4/5

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

Heavy,gloomy guitar based music, not something I would seek out but glad I listened to it. Interest guitars that remind me of some of Radiohead/smashing pumpkins used in later albums.

Ananda Shankar

2/5

Maybe groundbreaking at the time but now seems like Muzak I”ve heard before a 100, mainly inIndian restaurants.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

An amazing album for me with its music mixed up emotionally with a time in my life when every weekend was spent off my tits.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

Excellent, a good discovery I can see myself listening to this again in the future.

Murmur

R.E.M.

2/5

A bit samey and not any stand out tracks makes this monatanous.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Unique but not my cup of tea, a lot of fillers between the thrillers.

The Stooges

4/5

Great, its like I found the missing link between rock and punk.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

2/5

Sounds a great gig to be at but the production makes it a difficult to rate highly.

The Jam

3/5

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

Great voice, good tunes

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

A great band who I have not listened much to beyond the hits, an album that washes over you, melancholic but not sad, I will listen to more.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

2/5

Much of it sounded like a music from a kids tv show or a music teacher making music up off the cuff. A couple of good tracks though.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

4/5

A band that should have been part of my youth, luckily I discovered them later in life and love them, first time I have ever listened to an album of theirs from start to finish and what a great one.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

I wanted to hate it but I couldn’t, Great pop with a bit extra with the confidence to rip influences from other songs and make them his own (ish)

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

2/5

Sounds like a load of songs that didn’t quite make the Tony Hawks soundtrack.

Gnarly, loud and in your face.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Great voice soulful tunes, I love him more than his dad.

Darklands

1984

Van Halen
