Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

4/5

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Good album. Speaky.

Back In Black

AC/DC

5/5

Brilliant album, carefree rock at it’s best.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

2/5

Pleasantly folky but really folky and twee.

The Predator

Ice Cube

3/5

Some solid 90’s rap. A lot of nutsacks. I’m not usually a fan of rap but I quite enjoyed this.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

3/5

Poignant lyrics with buckets of emotion. Songs feel like they are longer than they are.

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

2/5

Sounds too fuzzy, messy and “live” to really enjoy it.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

50% poet 50% musician. Beautiful blues and classic Dylan.

Night Life

Ray Price

2/5

Blues lyrics hidden under 40’s croonering.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Bluesy lyrics over sweet melodies

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

Brilliant bluesy rock showing off Jack White’s abilities

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

2/5

Expected to be heard at a funky health spa. Almost tribal dance.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

3/5

Perfectly pleasant but nothingness.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Foot tappingly good

On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

Perfectly fine. I may not be a Neil Young fan.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

A good example of Costello. Has flashes of almost frantic energy but always pulls it back to safer pop ground.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

2/5

Seems to capture the energy of a live Motorhead gig well, although a live Motorhead gig sounds like two hours of the same song.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Fun and bluesy. Would have enjoyed it more as a studio album.

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

3/5

It’s pretty punky and raw

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

Lovely smooth bass and thoroughly enjoyable album.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

Starts strong but peeters out. If it was an album of the first five songs it would be incredible.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

3/5

Some good bass but not needs a bit more pep in places

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

3/5

Channelling a lot of Thom Yorke in places. It’s a circus of an album.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

3/5

Classic punk, changed the face of music. Not really much musical talent but attitude by the bucket full. More of a symbol of a movement than a good album.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

2/5

Inoffensive but doesn’t stand out from other singer-songwriters

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

3/5

A master of his craft, his craft can be a little inaccessible.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Great album. Peak Blondie.

The Doors

3/5

One of the stand out examples of the time. Free ranging experimentation.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

2/5

Feels a bit too slow and samey

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Cracking album. Would have scored it 5 when I was 13 - 14, 4 when I was 15 - 16, today it’s good but not outstanding. A product of the age of the listeners.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

3/5

Poppy Michael playing the mainstream. At his best when he lets himself go, some is a bit safe.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5
