MGMT
5/5
Pleasingly proggy, I wish I'd listened to it sooner.
The Who
3/5
Donovan
5/5
Beautifully 60s. A good mix of big hits and weird trippy stuff.
Blur
3/5
Outside of the 3 single releases, this was really not what I was expecting. All felt a bit disjointed.
Pretenders
4/5
Definitely a grower - think I need to spend some more time with this one

4/5
The La's
4/5
Not what I was expecting, having only heard There She Goes before. Heavily inspired by the Kinks, and a good listen.
Beatles
4/5
I mean, all the Beatles albums are pretty good, aren't they?
Bob Dylan
3/5
Good music, incomprehensible vocals; pretty standard Dylan
Madonna
4/5
Without the vocals it would sound like a cyberpunk computer game soundtrack, and I don't think the vocals take anything away from that.
Billy Joel
3/5
Not really my thing - ok background music
Bruce Springsteen
1/5
Not the best
Sam Cooke
5/5
Great fun, some nice classic rock and roll

Jamiroquai

Given how iconic the title track and album cover are, I'm both surprised that I didn't know more of this, and surprised that I didn't find it that interesting. Possibly a grower though, if I gave it a few more listens.
