David Bowie

3/5

Title track easily the standout.

Dire Straits

3/5

Never listened to this before and DS never really apprised to me in the 80s. Too AOR. But enjoyed it more than I thought I would, with the exception of the big hits which (a) are overplayed and (b) don’t really fit in with the rest of the album with its laid-back sound

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

5/5

One of my all time favourite albums. Bought it around 1979 and still play it regularly.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

The Band

5/5

Top quality all the way through. Not a well song on the album and some absolute classics.

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

3/5

Mix of blues and 60s psychedelia. Preferred the former. Latter sounded quite dated, yet also reminiscent of more modern bands clearly influenced by it.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

2/5

Bit dull.

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

4/5

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

3/5

I know it is very influential, but I found it a bit ponderous.
