It sounds like I'm sat in Spanish class learning about the days of the week. And then I'm sat in a bar trying to get into it, being all cultural, but just a bit gash

Imagine

John Lennon

1/5

First track sounds like something that would be sung mawkishly at Anfield. Can see where the worst parts of the beatles albums come from with the 2nd. It's basically just when I'm 64, or a wacky Norman Wisdom chase montage. Ponderous, dull uninspired garbage from the joint worst beatle

Tom Tom Club

5/5

Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz’s Tom Tom Club is pure sunshine funk — playful, catchy, and endlessly cool. Wordy Rappinghood and Genius of Love groove with effortless joy, mixing reggae, pop, and dance with cheeky charm. I played it for my friend Shack, who paused mid–lamb chop to declare, “That’s cooked perfectly.” He’s right — it’s perfectly done: simple, flavourful, timeless. Over forty years later, it still sizzles like summer on vinyl.

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

5/5

Mike Skinner’s masterpiece turns everyday chaos into poetry — lost cash, love, and late nights all told in that unmistakable Brummie drawl. Fit But You Know It struts, Dry Your Eyes devastates, and Blinded by the Lights still feels like 3 a.m. confusion bottled in a beat. I played it for Shack while he flipped lamb chops; he just said, “That’s real life, that is.” Exactly. Raw, funny, heartfelt — still Britain’s truest kitchen-sink album.
