Night Life
Ray Price
Elvis Costello introduced me to the Nashville sound (Almost Blue) and both cover the dark “sitting and thinking”. Cloying sentimentality of early 60s USA. Magnificent.

Led Zeppelin II
Led Zeppelin
I got into rock music just led zeppelin were being hyped as the greatest. But were they really? You bet. Lots of classic tracks here.

Groovin'
The Young Rascals
Never heard of them but I rather liked this. Lots of influences - psychedelic, 60s soul, even a song that took David Cassidy to number 1.

The Slim Shady LP
Eminem
I’m glad I listened to Eminem because I haven’t done so before. I enjoyed it; it’s pop music with limited substance in the lyrics but I can’t knock it.

Moving Pictures
Rush
Nope. Life’s too short to listen to this. Big drums, big keyboards, big hair. I guess it would be ok in a stadium on a summers night but doesn’t hold my interest.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions
I don’t need to listen to this. I could sing it to you I’ve played it so many times. A favourite album by a favourite performer. The lyrics and the ever changing arrangements, his voice gets richer with age.
