Paranoid by Black Sabbath

Dabbled before and didn’t much like it. Emphatic confirmation that they’re not for me.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima

Great fun

Murmur by R.E.M.

Neither nowt nor summat.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush

The Stooges by The Stooges

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan

Five all day long. Can understand those who don't like his voice but to write songs of the lyrical power of Masters of War; Hard Rain; BITW at what must have been 21/22 is mind-blowing. Impressive and depressing in equal measure.

Really enjoyed this. S&G style harmonies, great vocals.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie

Feels like the last album he did for quite some time with obvious flashes of himself - Bewlay Brothers; Quicksand (both amazing) - in there, rather than whichever persona he had created. It's quite open about his influences, and it also feels like he's still trying on lots of different styles to see what fits. So you get some early glimpses of glam like Oh! You Pretty Things, and a VU homage/parody/rip-off, straight acoustic songs, show songs and all sorts of other stuff chucked into the mix. Also casually in the middle of it all one of the best songs of all time, and it opens with another all-time Bowie classic. Don't much care for Fill Your Heart or Andy Warhol, but I love everything else. It's a 5 alright.

Used to listen to The Who quite a bit in a greatest hits sort of way. But the more I hear of them the less I like them. And boy do I hear them on here.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson

Wasn’t sure what to expect and yet it all seemed familiar. Didn’t know he’s the lime in the coconut guy. All ok I suppose and yet I’ll never deliberately listen to it again in my life. So I guess I can live, if living is without it.
