Bruce Springsteen
Very dark, gloomy album. Traditional folk stuff with the mood and aura of Nick Drake

Violator
Depeche Mode
Not much to write home about. A kinda boring synth-pop kinda thing. Not my style, never been a fan of Depeche Mode, but this hasn’t converted me

Happy Sad
Tim Buckley
Buckley’s jazz-folk fusion is always fascinating, and it shines on this album. Some tracks drag a bit, but songs like Dream Letter and Buzzin’ Fly show why Buckley was such a brilliant songwriter.
