N.W.A.

1/5

This was a tough album to endure - I listened to the first 3 ‘songs’ and stopped listening to the album generator for 2 months! I gave it another go today and realised it’s not for me - too many issues to start I haven’t got the energy……..

Love this album and happy that i had further recommendations of 60’s music that had that feel good factor 👍🏻

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Good to listen back to the whole album again as was a staple of the key songs when our originally. Good to hear some contemporary influences from such songs as territorial pissings on such bands as Idles. Forgot how that and lounge acts were on point songs without the air play 🤘🏻

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

Typical sound of the 90’s Ok background music enjoyed shadowboxer

Pink Floyd

5/5

Pure delight - love this album - classic

Slipknot

5/5

Didn’t really listen to these guys first time round, but loving the album. I like linkin park and some of the vibes are similar - particularly liked ‘surfacing’ a great one when working 😂 me inside and eyeless are another couple I liked

Queen II

Queen

5/5

Lovely to hear some song so hadn’t heard before and some songs back to basics - not the crowd pleasers. Good to hear other voices on the recordings

Either Or

Elliott Smith

5/5

One of my favourite albums of all time - and always a pleasure to hear it especially on a chilled Sunday or sunny morning 🔆

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

3/5

Clunky assault on my brain Murmurs of Tom waits influenced tunes, of key trumpets and scratchy electronics Don’t listen with a headache or operating heavy machinery

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession

Laura Nyro

3/5

Gave it a go but couldn’t finish the album - some homage to Kate bush but overall found it winey. Not sure which genre - a bit show jazz, easy listening, I’m not sure - some dodgy lyrics had to give up sorry 😞

Teen Dream

Beach House

5/5

Beautiful antidote for the last offering! Lovely bimble in the sunshine 🌞

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Listened to the remastered 2009 version - some things seemed a little over produced so some sound took over the vocals

4/5

Intrigued as I saw some of Little Simz at Glastonbury - not my usual go to of music but enjoyed selfish and venom - good to see

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

Some classics in there and a hand hold through the journey to being a single artist

Truth

Jeff Beck

5/5

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

5/5

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

5/5

Such a classic - remembering when I was younger me and my family would dance to ‘we are family’ how things change

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

5/5

Loved this - country but not winey- something my grandparents would have listened to and love that nostalgia vibe - sounds familiar although I’d never heard it before

Drunk

Thundercat

5/5

Tokyo is a masterpiece Jameels space ride sounds straight out of the 70’s but contemporary at the same time

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Your latest trick - big jump from the poppy well known walk of life - more like a hazy jazz bar when quiet or lift music Some poppy well known tunes then random jazz bar late night cofffe shop fodder

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

5/5

This is an excellent album, so much so that I listened to the whole back catalogue of Nick Drake and researched a bit more about his life. Tragic that he died only at 26, but leaving a legacy of his beautiful voice and compositions which remain timeless.

Young Americans

David Bowie

5/5

Classic Also forgot he did a cover of ‘across the universe’ by the beatles - noice

Rattlesnakes

Soul Mining

The The

5/5

First time listening to this band - liked it nice clear vocals but billy bragg meets pop - more please

The Next Day

David Bowie

5/5

What’s not to love about this one. Sounds close to black star but given the times of their release not surprised. Great tunes all could have been on his final album. Where are we now is one of my all time favourite Bowie tunes. Just wish I had got to see him perform.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

3/5

Killer Queen a classic probably the only stand out tune on this album for me

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

5/5

Blast back from the 90’s forgot how much I loved these guys at the time. Ball lightening very foo fighters - on a rope -classic!

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

I love the music as an instrumental album - but find the lyrics too sickly and insincere.

5/5

Classic - hold on

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Chipper background music to work to

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Long album - few classics in there thought it would have a bit more of a live feel - good to hear bobs voice before the crackles started to show

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

1/5

No life is too short - got to song 2 on the album and gave up

Maxinquaye

Tricky

5/5

Forgot how much I loved the tunes on this album - sending me back on a chilled 90’s vibe. Beautiful to remember the influence women had on this era of music - which has often been overshadowed. Effortless homage striking of the mid 90’s. Sexy chilled 90’s vibe thanks for the reminder.
