4/5

Not what you might think.

Tommy

The Who

5/5

This reminds me of Tania Maria who I am pleased to discover is not dead.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Possibly a fine example of C&W music, and fine if you like that sort of thing. Sounds like whining to me.

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

Still awesome from start to finish.

Madonna

5/5

Can't beat a bit of Madge.

Dire Straits

4/5

It's so easy to forget there's more to some of these bigtime artists than the stuff you hear all the time - this is a great album.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

When you're bored of Blondie you're bored of life.

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

Never heard this all the way through before today, and this won't be the last time. Not necessarily chill out but necessarily cool nonetheless.

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

5/5

Weird in a good way. No relation to Jackie Weaver.

GREY Area

Little Simz

3/5

1999

Funky, sexy and hilarious in equal measure. Pop's glittering sex dwarf at his very best.

4/5

Drips with cool.

Scott 4

Scott Walker

1/5

What the hell is this crap? I imagine the Taliban might play this to extract information from their prisoners. Make it stop.

Great song but a million times on one album? It's good but... Not that good!

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

4/5

Very chilled, would listen a third time

Despite the morose whine and so-so lyrics, some of the best keyboarding ever.

Mudhoney

2/5

Guff!

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

Still sounds pretty new and fresh!

Sister Sledge

So good individually, but put all these great songs on one album and after about twenty minutes you start vomiting.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

5/5

Superb from start to finish.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

4/5

If Lewis's department store was still going, they would be playing this.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

5/5

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

5/5

L.A. Woman

The Doors

5/5

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

4/5

See I do enjoy Kraftwerk, but the repetition on this one is jarring to the point of irritation rarely heard before the invention of Cocomelon.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

4/5

Probably would benefit from another listen - I like Tori Amos but I'd probably go for the more poppy stuff I am ashamed to admit!
