Have never heard previously and was instantly hooked - little wing a gem

Was okay - preferred the more contemporary buena vista social club

Enjoyed the listen

A great listen - provides one of the greatest tunes ever in seven nation army

An interesting listen - an amalgamation of Leeann Rhimes and Alanis Morrisette with a sprinkling of Suzanne Vega - what is not to like

Transported me back to a simpler time in my life where all things pop seemed great - thoroughly enjoyed it but once was enough

A really good live version of some classic tracks

Good listen

Totally enjoyed it - has stood the test of time - darling Nikki a classic within a world of classics

Some great innovation here with the model clearly a stand out and withstanding time - still sounds great today

A couple of really great tracks make this a 3 instead of a 2

One really great track make this a 3 instead of a 1

Did not know whether this was a 1 or a 5 - utterly sublime and equally bonkers in all aspects- 6 minutes around the virtue of holding a stone is indulgent to say the least - must have been good drugs in the 60s

Good listen but not their best

A good listen - very raw sounding

A decent listen but no stand outs

A decent listen but to be honest they have much better

A great energy and insight into the world of the great doctor

Enjoyed the listen - probably after their first album this is the best

Was enjoying it for the first 20 minutes or so then felt it became a bit self indulgent

A solid record with a couple of really good songs

Lauded as a punk act - more pop punk then anarchy though - decent listen

Starts off like a greatest of greatest hits albums but slowly loses impetus even though still a good listen - poptastic perfection at some points

A great listen - they have stronger albums but this has moments of brilliance- possibly one of the most iconic bands in their field

First time listen - blinding- what a great collection of songs

An eclectic mix of music - worth a listen

Classic and timeless

Honkytonk blues at its finest - best ending to an album possibly ever

Jazz fusion with Latino swing - enjoyable but became repetitive

A cool smooth trip through some great songwriting- we do indeed want it darker

No surprises here - exactly what you would expect from the cramps

An average Rolling Stones sandwich between two all time classic tracks

I thought I like PiL but albatross is a terrible start to any album

Was enjoyable with its meandering wayward winging ballads

Apart from a couple of good tracks it is exactly what you would expect if you think of the black crowes - sadly not for me

Quite forgettable

Interesting- the more I listen to cohen the more I am sucked in

A good solid outing from Mudhoney but not as ground breaking as Superfuzzbigmuff

Does exactly what you would expect with our house a shiny piece of pop rock

Transported me back to another era - nice to feel the emotions of a bygone time but only for a short time

Exceptional start and maintains a degree of classic banshees throughout

A great album that showed the many sides of Run-DMC - some classic tracks on there

Exceptional start and maintains a degree of classic rock throughout - lil devil and born to be wild are standouts

Simply different class

Some classic tunes interwoven with a distinct degree of indifference

Surprised how much I enjoyed this

A 5 star experience from start to finish

Subliminal classic

Had only heard fuzzy logic - this was very good and a complete different experience from what I was expecting

A very lovely listen on a Sunday morning- not her best album but better than a lot of peoples best

A trip down memory lane with some top tracks - war pigs and title tracks are classics but a bit too many fillers

Sadly I found it a hard listen - clearly musically adept but too self indulgent

Obviously pioneers in their field but too much techno all at once for me

A tremendous start to any album - 3 unbelievable tracks - unfortunately only a couple more lived up to this - what a great album though

Interesting jazz fusion but became a bit tedious

A pleasant experience but not earth shattering

An exceptional dance album

A really enjoyable disco album - leaders in their genre

Too bland for my liking - middle America soft rock without any classic tunes - now realise why I did mot get into them back in the day - not unlistenable but not inspiring

Not my normal genre for enjoyment- obviously talented musicians but sorry could not get into it

A classic of its genre - exodus jammin and 3 little birds outstanding

A great start to any album and life in the fast lane a classic

My memory of this was that it was a pioneering breakthrough at the time but after a fresh listen it is a good album with a smattering of some great tunes

An enjoyable listen with a beautiful voice

An enjoyable listen - like the bastard child of the beach boys and the doors

Hints of loveless but just does not quite reach those dizzy heights

Melodic pop but not any classics - pleasant but better elsewhere

A good trip through London angst

The masters of machine gun rock do it again

Full of soooo many great songs

It is more of an explosion than blues - angry attack on society- what is not to like

A classic stomp through a angst ridden youth - you can see (and hear) how it has influenced others

Distinctive sounding but not nearly as good as previous angry ska - more melodic and hints of jazz

Trigger cut a stand out - listened to a few times and it became better and better each time

So many great songs - it is no wonder she was headlining festivals

Just an amazing mix of tunes

Good solid indie rock

Starts off as good as any great album with zero and heads will roll but fails to sustain the momentum

If it was Christmas Day with logs crackling on an open fire and snow outside then 5 /5 but just a great voice trailing through some old tunes but some are classics

Sunny youthful days - feel it is a great album more for sentimental reasons than pop prowess- still - some cracking tunes

A hip hop beat built on jazz - enjoyable and forgettable all at once

Exceptional journey through the Reid’s minds

Too many songs that were too similar - enjoyed it got about 20 minutes then it descended into a trudge

The the - the band that kept on giving - a great experience all the way through

Dolly has not changed in many years - great at what she does but not my favourite genre

A giant in his field

Surprisingly enjoyable

My first experience of Kendrick Lamar and I will be back for more - an aging rocker did not know what he was missing - top stuff

What is not to like - great tunes from a great singer

Quite a myriad of approaches from ska based to rocky horror picturesque - might need another listen

Not his best album but yes it is cool

Beck is outstanding but has much better other albums

Electric 80s pop at its finest - a couple of classic tunes also

Realise what an icon she was but sadly not for me - found it quite depressing but not in a good way

A good listen but nothing earth shattering

A great trip back to my rocker youth but not their best

The only thing working against this album is the Scottish winter weather - would be exceptional on a Cuban beach with a mojito and a big cigar

Exceptional tracks from an album that sounds as fresh today as it did when it was first issued

A modern day dire straits - not a good thing nor a bad thing - needs a bit more war and a bit more drugs

A very easy listen - lovely voices and great melodies- top

A very enjoyable album - trots along with some good tunes

A very enjoyable album - trots along with some good tunes

Does not get much better than this - outstanding from start to finish

An absolute classic album in its genre - a great listen as I did my Christmas food shop in the Asda- the real question is always can I kick it ….

Constant craving aside - I still do not get it - sorry

Starts off great but not one of their best - still a bit raw

Decent - some really good tunes and some not so

Classic

Decent - became very beckesque which was a good thing

Enjoyed the meandering tunes and quirky lyrics

Not very good quality of sound - a bit cheap really - only really saved by ain’t that enough and I want you

Quite dark and not upbeat for my liking - needs some joy in his life

Bish bash bosh - brilliant

Despite not liking his voice it was not as hard a listen as I was expecting

Haunting - sublime - joy and pleasure should be known by everyone

Haunting and evocative - in fact pretty damn good

Just a delight

Atmospheric and some spine tingling tracks

It is very 1960s guitar but in the best way - do not know what green sleeves gives us though

Forgot how many great tracks on this album - just a 4

Starts off with two great tracks but then sadly dwindles out from there

Sadly disappointing - the concept behind it was interesting but the reality less so

Oh dear

A couple of classic tracks but they have better

A couple of classic tracks starlings and one day like this - enjoyable

A really enjoyable album for my Sunday morning walk along the beach but for the rest of my life I doubt it would reappear

A really beautiful record

An exceptional album - apart from a slight dip in the middle this would be a 5

Thought I liked prog rog but not so much - oh for owner of a lonely heart

Some big tunes - candle in the wind - benny and the jets and Saturday night - the rest …..

The first half of this album is one of the best starts to an album ever - sadly does not sustain to the end

Enjoyable meandering through early pop culture - nice but not great

Sorry not for me - too much country and not enough rock and roll

An excellent eclectic mix of classic tracks

The distinct voice of Edwin Collins carries you along in a sea of blissful happiness - a worthy listen - a couple of classic tracks in there but such a joyful record

Should to love this album - transported me back to a happy place

Not as good as the first album - shame really

Funktastic

Worth a listen - distinctly bunnymen sound - not their best and sounding a bit dated

Count Basie does big band sound like no one else - excellent in its genre

A lovely lilting trail through old tunes - a couple of classic tracks with hazy shade and mrs Robinson

A great start to any album and then maintains your interest with an eclectic mix of tunes

Disappointing

This was my introduction to lcd and I was not disappointed

Trots along nicely then you hit Kashmir - classic - takes it to another level

Classic album - nirvana covering vaselines, meat puppets and lead belly - what is not to like

It was equally happy and equally sad

No one does 12 bar blues like bb and this as a live experience shows his brilliance

Good solid rock

Great at what they do and very perky

Eclectic and weird but strangely enjoyable

A classic of its era and genre

Well worth a listen

Starts off brilliant but becomes too dimilar

Love a beck album and this one does not disappoint

A lovely journey into the sickly sweet world of the divine comedy - but don’t stay too long

So intense - what a great listen

Exceptional as expected - just a bit too short

Decent from a band I truly dislike

Not my usual genre but very enjoyable

A very strong start and maintains a decent level throughout

Working class hero a classic interspersed with great displays of angst - enjoyable

Some great tracks - immigrant song and gallows but not there best

A couple of classic tracks raise this punchy album up to be one of his best pieces of work

Some great songs - always good to hear Kate bush

Enjoyable listen without being memorable

Good version of heard it through the grapevine- quite distressing the child wailing though

White riot, London burning and janie jones stand outs

Five cracking singles tiptoe this album into the 4/5 category

Not a fan

Started off great but just meandered on into a bit of a dirge

A couple of stand out tracks but in the end mediocre 80s pop

Some great tracks but a bit of a meandering mismatch- still enjoyable

A couple of really big classic tracks

Sorry not for me

Distinctly kinks and very 60s - enjoyable

Surprisingly interesting

A couple of great tracks (remixes are even better) but average at best

Unashamedly drakeesque and enjoyable without being his pinnacle

Good solid soft rock with a sprinkling of big tunes

A very chilled vibe - enjoyed

A very chilled vibe - enjoyed

Death in vegas - the secret band that you all should love - great

A grower - as it meandered through the tracks it shifted from a bit of a dirge to an interesting eclectic trip through life - in the end - quite good

Enjoyable in parts - bit meandering but appreciated that it was meant to be

Starts off strong and maintains a degree of enjoyment throughout

An excellent trip back in time - great riffs and brilliant vocals - enjoyable

My memory of the first play of this was that it was innovative and different - stands the test of time with some great songs still
