The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
Fine album with some iconic songs that have stood the test of time.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels
Dexys Midnight Runners
Fantastic album.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill
Not my usual, preferred genre but enjoyed the listen.

Jan 28 2021
Surfer Rosa
Pixies
Didnβt hear this first time round, introduced to them via the second album Doolittle. Sets the scene for what follows. Enjoyed the rawness with nice melodies weaved within. A solid debut.

The Queen Is Dead
The Smiths
Delighted to be reacquainted with this gem of an album. A blend of all there is to love about the Smiths and side 2 contains some magnificent singles. The chorus of β there is a lightβ is one of the greatest of all time.
5
Feb 02 2021
The Specials
The Specials
Iconic album that offered more than the superb tracks it contains. Part of a force that was challenging endemic racism, acceptance of unemployment and community disintegration all done with musicality and energy that would blow your porkpie hat off!
5
Feb 03 2021
All Mod Cons
The Jam
Some fantastic songs and something of a βcoming of ageβ album given their less than impressive second album βthis is the modern worldβ. Stand outs include βto be someoneβ and the classic βEnglish roseβ. Loved Billy Hunt live too
5
Feb 04 2021
Let's Get Killed
David Holmes
Not a genre Iβm familiar with but enjoyed it nonetheless. An atmospheric and largely enjoyable range of tracks set against narrative that paints an engaging and sometimes troubling NY backdrop
3
Feb 05 2021
Five Leaves Left
Nick Drake
Beautifully crafted songs. Brings to mind Cohen and one of my favorite contemporary artists, Michael Head.
4
Feb 06 2021
Meat Is Murder
The Smiths
No second album syndrome here. Marrβs guitar and Morrisseyβs lyrics and voice combine to offer a uniquely recognisable blend of melancholy angst and musicality that is still a joy to listen to
5
Feb 07 2021
Green River
Creedence Clearwater Revival
A strong album of its type which includes the classic βbad moon risingβ but not a classic album in and of itself. A tight band of accomplished musicians but a bit βsouthern rockβ run of the mill for me
3
Feb 08 2021
The Madcap Laughs
Syd Barrett
A mixed bag of oddities. Love Sydβs voice with Terrapin, Octopus and Gold Hair being the most enjoyable tracks. The others I can take or leave. Mostly likely to leave.

Excellent Album. Intense, passionate and soulful throughout
4
Feb 11 2021
Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
A mixed bag of an album for me. Some accomplished old school but uninspiring blusey tracks and some classic and brilliant songs with Gimme Shelter being the standout

Purple Rain
Prince
5

3
Feb 17 2021
The Boatman's Call
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
A fine album with some classic songs with βinto my armsβ amongst the best
5
Feb 18 2021
Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)
Loretta Lynn
A good olβ traditional country toe tapper. Lynn has a great voice made for this genre. Enjoyed it
3
Feb 19 2021
Since I Left You
The Avalanches
5
Feb 20 2021
S.F. Sorrow
The Pretty Things
Enjoyed it. Not normally a fan of the βconceptβ album per se but this works for me, I guess because the songs stand out in their own right. A Beatlesy vibe to it too which is fine by me
4
Feb 21 2021
Infected
The The
An excellent album. Stand out tracks, homeland, sweet bird of truth and slow train to dawn. Loved it when first released and enjoyed reacquainting myself with it now
4
Feb 22 2021
Beach Samba
Astrud Gilberto
Perfect, sunshine and cocktail invoking easy listening.
4
Feb 23 2021
If I Should Fall From Grace With God
The Pogues
A continuation of form from the first 2 albums. The same punky drive as the first two but with a developing knack of a poppier tune. Clearly the timeless classic that is Fairy Tale of New York sits centre stage but is accompanied by a fine array of other songs ranging from Turkish Song of the Damned to Thousands are Sailing.
4
Feb 24 2021
90
808 State
An ok album. Was somehow expecting more energy and vibrancy. Pacific 202 stood out. Iβm sure the tracks have more impact played loud in a club and lose their potency being heard via earpiece headphones but left feeling uninspired in any case.
2
Feb 25 2021
Mask
Bauhaus
A solid post punk album, one that made me want to hear live.

Feb 26 2021

Morrison Hotel
The Doors
Hadnβt listen to this in years. Wasnβt one that I thought of as being up there amongst their best when comparing to the first 3 albums but really enjoyed it. Peace Frog a stand out but almost rate the more bluesy standards such as road house and Iβm a spy

A raucous, rock and roll performance as youβd expect. Not my cup of tea in general but entertaining and would definitely have been great fun to be there

Mar 05 2021
Rumours
Fleetwood Mac
Brilliant album. Unlike some, the continued familiarity with most tracks doesnβt dull them. The phrase βtimeless classicβ couldnβt be more apt.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim
Frank Sinatra
A delightful blend of Sinatraβs dulcet tones and Jobimβs musicality gives a different flavour to these songs, a number of which I knew from Astrid Gilberto renditions. Very pleasant indeed

A move away from what Iβm used to with The Beach Boys but liked it for the most part nonetheless. Am guessing that Wilsonβs eccentricity informed some of less conventional songs. All in all an enjoyable listen

Rock 'N Soul

Enjoyed the album. Didnβt know what to expect and thought it might be more βrock n rollβ but was actually more soul and R&B. Made me wonder if he had any association with the likes of the Drifters but donβt think he did.
