I'm Your Man
Leonard Cohen
A cornucopia of musical flavours, some industrial, some serene, Jazz police was a dud but hey that's the eighties.

Raw Power
The Stooges
Wild stuff, I got to be in the right mood.
Paved the way for Queens of the stone Age. Iggy's mix leaves no room in the mid range, real warm sound, kind of sounds like my speakers are on fire.

Tigermilk
Belle & Sebastian
Favourite track is just a baby, proceeding song was aptly named Electronic renaissance, bringing a stylistic shift. That renaissance didn't last however, as I could be dreaming is gritty, grungy rock which is more in sync with the early 90's. My wandering days are over is a wonderfully dreamy jam. Never heard this before, really liked it.

I particularly appreciate Morrissey's expressive vocal delivery. Although it was enjoyable overall, I probably won't be returning to this one.

It ebbs and flows from high energy to a more calm trance like rock. Heavy experimentation occurs throughout. This is a very good album.

En-Tact
The Shamen
Very inspiring lyrics. I got a warmer sound from this than what I hear of today's electronic dance music. Some cool guitar on make it mine. There's plenty of interesting artistic moments/choices made that deviate from the same old regular dance track.

Casanova
The Divine Comedy
It's good, sounded a bit like a musical to me, also quite David Bowie-esque. Didn't like the sound of the drum kit or bass guitar, that said the production quality is of high standard.

Darkness on the Edge of Town
Bruce Springsteen
Passion can be heard on this album, that's for sure. A small complaint is I thought the gap between the quite parts and loud parts were too far. It's effective but I found myself turning the volume up at the beginning and wanting to turn down when the rest of the band came in. Overall a solid album through and through, favourite song is Candy's room.

The Idiot
Iggy Pop
We get a more domesticated Iggy on this than on Raw power. Produced by Bowie in the Berlin trilogy era, some regard this as an extension of that trilogy. I dig this one quite a bit.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan
Maybe it's the speakers I use but I always find the harmonica is a bit too loud on his records. I appreciate the lyrics however, I'm a bigger of his records that have more diverse song structures, such as Highway 61 revisited.
