Doctor Who backing music made by some dude in his kitchen. No thanks.

The surreal nature of Dylan lyrics always surprises me - they approach a feeling of laziness in how simple they are, but so much colour and fantastical imagery is evoked that it's hard to believe they just came outta nowhere. The musicality in this record is surprisingly diverse, from raucous blues stompers like Rainy Day Women, and Most Likely You Go Your Way, which is still a staple in his live shows over 50 years later, to the Norwegian Wood 'homage' of 4th Time Around. It's fun, it's sad, it's whimsical and a little bit magical.

Stellar riffage from Blackmore. Gillan does his best Plant impression and Paice tries some Bonham, and both do a decent job. Not sure if this inspires me to dive into their catalogue, but a very enjoyable listen. Choice cuts: Highway Star, Maybe I’m A Leo, Space Truckin’

If Daft Punk and Jamiriquoai had a baby, this would be the result. And I'm not complaining.

Fairly middle of the road (even for new wave). Simon Le Bon does not do it for me, and a fair bit of this album melds into itself. Started to get interesting around The Chauffeur - unfortunately the last track. Choice cuts: Lonely In Your Nightmare, New Religion, The Chauffeur

I thought I was a sucker for sunshine pop; turns out I'm a sucker for good sunshine pop. Stick to Tommy. Choice Cuts: Bracelets Of Fingers, Defecting Grey

When you imagine disco, this sound is what you think of. Not many disco albums don't have a single filler track, and this is nearly one of them.

Enjoyed this immensely - was hoping Song 2 wouldn't be one of the best songs on the album though, but it was. Death Of A Party the highlight. Some late Beatles vibes too. Can hear where The Vines got it.

Such a powerful opening, screams of terror that genuinely chill the blood, that slowly fades into fairly typical bluesy solo nothingness as the covers enter and Ozzy gets less and less moment to shine. Still finding those metal feet. Highlights: Black Sabbath, The Wizard.

Wasn't expecting this. Do people know about these guys? It's like if the Byrds slept with Chicago, and had a baby raised by Meatloaf. Teenage Fanclub must love them, power pop owes them big time. Some of the tightest rocking harmonies that've graced my ears. Every song short and sweet, only two breaking the 3 minute mark. Was this who The Monkees wanted to be?

Straightforwardmiddleoftheroadunabashepunkrockinwhingyangst. Not for me, but also not sure who for. Critics say it was 'catchy' but beg to differ. No real highlights, no real shining moments, no real anything really.

Hearing Willie warble over these classic standards reminds you that even without his originals, he's still one of the greats. Stardust itself is a tearjerker. Would give it 4.5 if we were doing halves.

Love it obvs

Delicious harmonies, feel bad for David Rawlins that it isn't a shared credit - he feels as much a part of this album as GW. Cowgirls are just as important as cowboys and here's the proof.

Phantasmagoria of dreamscapes and nightmares, rollicking guitars and ferocious drums, lullabies and funeral processions, marching towards uncertainty and dread. Unstoppable, immovable, and downright unmatchable. Wanna go for a ride.

Think this will grow on me. Heavy chugging and irregular times usually do it for me. Would? is a highlight. High three/low four.

Still my favourite electronic album of all time. Kinda wish I got another TCB album to check out because I'm so familiar with this one, but I can take that into my own hands. Incredible production, can't help bopping to this. And Where Do I Begin still gives me chills.

Trash covers

An instant classic, remember the day this came out. Was never a big fan of TLOP so this one is where my love affair with Kanye ended. If only he stuck with the power and political critique over the bible thumping.

The first 10 minutes are a fascinating idea, and so groundbreaking for the time, but it loses steam pretty quick.

No Van Ronk, but the harmonica is to die for.

Sensational.

The irony in a racist stealing blues music is not lost on me. Actually kinda shit, tbh.

Nothing special, and certainly no Escapology.
