Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
May 25 2022

Big girl now is a favourite of mine. Unpopular opinion I know, but it’s background music for me.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
May 27 2022

Yes yes yes! Love this album. All the blues you’ll ever need.

May 28 2022

Fantastic album, totally listenable. All bar one song which is pretty impressive.

C'est Chic by CHIC
May 29 2022

Great album. Easy listening, two classic hits.

May 30 2022

Musically I’m not there with this album but I appreciate its political importance

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
May 31 2022

Am I missing a backstory? I’m not sure why this has made it on the list. A mix of pop/soul and high school musical/Riverdale. Doesn’t really go anywhere. It’s not unbearable however.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jun 02 2022

Was alright. Not a genre I’d normally listen to, some bearable tracks but all took a while to get into, some I scanned through. If you like a bit of whingy grunge rock full of hate and loathing then you might like this.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 03 2022

Not my bag

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jun 04 2022

Phenomenal album. You can’t not move to these tracks.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jun 05 2022

Lovely. Warm, nostalgic, and classy jazz, easy listening (nothing too off beat or overly clever)

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Jun 06 2022

Heavy punk…horror movie type music. Unlistenable unless you’re either super super angry and/or demonic.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jun 07 2022

Classic head banging heavy metal. Fantastic guitar riffs and double pedal drum thrashing. I don’t find this type of music easy to listen to and wouldn’t choose it but totally appreciate the skills.

Vespertine by Björk
Jun 11 2022

Superb album. Unique and wonderful.

It’s like an idiots guide to country music, tells it as it is, all the country rhythms and southern sounds. Did make me feel a bit sad as she’s obviously been with quite a few drunks in her life. I liked it.

The Doors by The Doors
Jun 14 2022

Not sure when I’d listen to this album. It’s not background, dinner music, not party music, I wouldn’t have it on whilst out walking. I don’t get high and I think it would probably be good for that.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jun 19 2022

One fantastic song, the others just merged into one and I lost interest

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 21 2022

An east one for me as I know this album pretty well and love it. There are of course a few tracks which I’m totally not bothered by but on the whole a fantastic album full of teenage grunge despair.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Jun 24 2022

Beautiful soothing sounds. Really pleasant relaxing easy listening.

Jun 25 2022

It’s hard to listen to seriously, it’s full of sarcastic wit and comedic observations of society. I’m not a huge pulp fan but get their appeal.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Jun 26 2022

I’ve seen too many horror cult movies where someone ends up as the sacrifice, burnt or slaughtered with this type of folk music gently playing over the top…..so as you can imagine not an easy listen for me.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Jun 27 2022

No not for me. Semi melodic noise with faint vocals, didn’t listen to the whole album so could of been more ‘singing’ I think you’d have to be proper stoned to enjoy it fully.

2112 by Rush
Jun 28 2022

Quite liked the cheesy rock in this album, I wouldn’t choose to listen to it but it now makes sense of all the other slash metal/rock bands that have mimicked them.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jul 05 2022

Yeah I’d just rather listen to the Beatles

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jul 11 2022

Kinda hypnotic sounds, well, they would be but I found the singers voice to grate on me after a while. I appreciate it but it’s just not music that I would listen to, unless I was like invoking spirits or trying to be mysterious.

Pornography by The Cure
Jul 19 2022

I’m a ‘best of’ listener of the cure and none of these made that album. Not quite sure why this album made it when they’ve done so much better.
