1989 by Taylor Swift

Pure pop perfection. Every song is catchy and the production is spot on. I tried to fault it but found myself foot tapping and singing along to every track.

With The Beatles by Beatles

Always loved it, particularly the first and last tracks

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jun 04 2022

A bit much by the end. Heart of Glass is still a banger though

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 05 2022

Opens with some huge synthy powerful beats. Loses power as it goes on although still some good songs. Really liked "Little Shadow" Karen O's voice is fantastic throughout.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jun 06 2022

Some classic songs here, and a nod to all time great blues man Robert Johnson with "Love in Vain". Gospel influenced Gimme Shelter is a fantastic opening track and more political lyrics than I'd ever realised. Very heavily blues influenced throughout. I really liked You Got the Silver, a sweet song with great instrumentation build.

Pornography by The Cure
Jun 07 2022

Bleak. Dark. Depressing. Brilliant

Debut by Björk
Jun 08 2022

Eclectic, varied sound. Very groovy at times, with some jazz inspired moments.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jun 09 2022

Raucous energy. Had some great tracks but I found it all sounded the same by the end.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jun 10 2022

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. I never listened to SoaD much as a teenager but my older ears actually appreciated the variety of sound. The lyrics felt like they meant something to someone instead of just being scrawled down just before recording. The sheer manic energy almost never lets up, but when it does the result is even better, "Spiders" comes to mind. As a non-metal listener who generally cringes at the sound of a dude screaming while a snare drum thrashes in the background, I thoroughly enjoyed this.

S&M by Metallica
Jun 11 2022

I didn't know many of these songs that well but the orchestral arrangements are awesome. 2hrs+ was a bit hard to take but it stayed interesting.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jun 13 2022

Pure pop perfection. Every song is catchy and the production is spot on. I tried to fault it but found myself foot tapping and singing along to every track.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 14 2022

Modern Classic. Wake Up is such a great song

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jun 15 2022

A great collection of songs. Very easy to listen to although no real standout tracks.

Play by Moby
Jun 16 2022

So much groove! I was surprised by how many of these I knew, although I did feel like I was in an early 2000s movie by the end (Looking at you Jason Bourne).

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jun 17 2022

While more accessible than other Kraftwerk, I still found it a bit backgroundy.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Jun 18 2022

A strange mix of styles, I found this hard to pin down stylistically. Couldn't tell if I was enjoying it or not either although it did have its moments.

The Clash by The Clash
Jun 19 2022

More melodic than I expected.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jun 21 2022

Painfully Indy at times. It made me want to listen to Sufjan Stevens or fleet foxes.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jun 22 2022

I found it all a bit the same. Same droning guitar, same drums, same weird lyrics.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Jun 24 2022

Odd mix of folk music and prog rock

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 25 2022

Constantly rhythmic, always evolving, subtly complex. Lyrics that slide between dancefloor anthems and deeper emotional outpours. A complete masterpiece.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Jun 26 2022

Great big band moments. I preferred the first half over the string backed ballads on the 2nd half

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 27 2022

Some good songs, but alot of shouty post punk. It's strongest moments we're when they slow down a bit and play something with a melody, like Maps.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jun 28 2022

Didn't love it, didn't hate it

Smash by The Offspring
Jun 29 2022

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jul 07 2022

Really cool album from a band I've never heard of. Will definitely listen again

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
