It's close to being good. Very good when it wants to be, very boring for the most part.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1
George Michael
Freedom is an absolute banger and deserves all the praise. I'm not too keen on ballads in minor keys though and found alot of the rest fairly boring

So. i used to love this as a kid when it came out. Nowadays, i'm not as fussed. I'd rather hear the original of every song on it

So polished, but not in a good way. It's like someone in the UK focus grouped how to sound like Creedence but forgot to go to Nam

This is great. Can't quite put my finger on what it is though, and the less said about Free Form Guitar the better. no need.

I love this woman but this ain't my favourite album of hers at all. Black is the colour was a surprise though. I thought it was Irish until now.

I absolutely hated this when it came out. I can still see why, but i've definitely mellowed on my hatred over the years. much smarter and on point than i ever gave him credit for. fair play

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols
Sex Pistols
Was expecting to cringe listening to this. Spent my youth loving them, then I found 'better' bands. The pistols may be a bit of a caricature at this stage, but they really do still slap. Bodies really stood out. great stuff
