Popular Reviews

Smile by Brian Wilson

Boomer nostalgia shit

Dry by PJ Harvey

I know she’s apparently very “authenthic” indie rock and cool etc but musically doesn’t do much for me

The Who Sell Out by The Who

Dated 60s stuff. I'm sure it's classic and was very influential...

Document by R.E.M.

Classic brilliant REM (but I'm biased - I saw the Green tour live back in ooh 1989?)

Influential experimental "Krautrock" album!

Picture Book by Simply Red
Feb 20 2022

The debut album from Simply Red - classic stuff... ...although perhaps the overall album isn't as good as the (over-played at the time) Heaven and Money's Too Tight (To Mention)...?!

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Feb 21 2022

Funkadelic by name and nature.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima

"an innovative mixture of early rock and roll, jump blues and jazz as well as eccentric humor"

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Feb 23 2022

Interesting late 60s sound. You can hear the same context/period as eg. The Beatles's Sgt Pepper's...

Mar 11 2022
