Dummy by Portishead
Aug 23 2022

Some good songs such as It Could Be Sweet and Glory Box. Others were a bit depressing and dark. Not the best but some good songs

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Aug 26 2022

Not the best album very up and down. Wouldn’t say it would be one I’d ever really go back to and listen too

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Aug 29 2022

Good 80s album. Some very good stand alone songs. Think the album is very varied with brilliant and poor songs. Many better 80s albums about but rated as it is because of the stand alone hits.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Aug 30 2022

One of the best ever. Cannot fault this album with hit after hit. Iconic Beatles songs and so many stand alone hits from this. In my life a funeral song for both grandparents so has a lot of memories attached to it. Brilliant.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Aug 31 2022

Never really have Iggy Pop a proper listen to. First half of the album was good but the second half was a big let down. It has potentially opened up new genre of music it has introduced me too. Felt like it was trying to imitate David Bowie’s style however missed the mark. Although it is a good album the fella is a weirdo and the second half was poor.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Sep 01 2022

Really enjoyed the album, very good vocals and instrumental. Opened me up to a new rock band to listen to and sparked my interest in. Will definitely listen too again.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Sep 02 2022

Really really enjoyed this album. One of the most relaxing and calming albums I’ve ever listened too. A big 80s lyrical feel too it which just enhances the album with it’s Jazz/Blues undertone. Never listened to hear of this duo before but will definitely be one I’ll be listening too constantly now on. Group members from The Jam and Dexy’s Midnight Runners just makes the album so good both being from world class bands previously. If it was possible I would rate it a high 4.50 felt like it dropped off ever so slightly toward the end. Clear stand out with You’re the best thing. But really enjoyed and will be listening to many more times.

Sep 05 2022

Really enjoyed the album some great songs, and one that I listened to throughout my life with my parents and grandparent big fans.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Sep 06 2022

Not really the biggest fan on Van Halen and didn’t think much of this album either. Not one I think I’d ever return too in the future, no particular stand alone single in this album either. Many many better rock and 70s albums about.

High Violet by The National
Sep 07 2022

Didn’t really rate it as a good album at all. Not my style it music. Maybe 1 or 2 okay sounds but don’t think I’d ever go back to it and a very long listen

Kimono My House by Sparks
Sep 08 2022

Really different album, style and feel of the lyrics of music unique to anything else ever listened too. Really enjoyed and will be an album I will listen to many times again in the future.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

Really enjoyed the album never really have a proper listen to the smiths before and was pleasantly surprised. Some not so good songs but as is with most albums. Opened me up to listening to further smith albums and one I will definitely listen too again.

Woodface by Crowded House
Sep 13 2022

Great album. Really enjoyed this with its alternative style and good range of songs. Some really good stand out songs as well. Always enjoyed Crowded House music and this is one album I really enjoyed. 4.75

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Sep 14 2022

Brilliant album. Always listened to Roxy Music and enjoyed their style of music. Really enjoyed this album as well. Some songs weren’t they’re best which let it down a little but there were some brilliant ones in there. If possible I would give 4.75 stars

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Sep 16 2022

Not a fan of Kate Bush’s music or this album. Not one I’d ever really return to but not a fan of any of her other stuff either

Low by David Bowie
Sep 19 2022

Wasn’t the biggest fan of this album, the fact it was just purely music with no singing let it down seeing as Bowie is one of the best lyrical writers there has been. Not my cup of tea.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Sep 21 2022

Brilliant album. So varied and each song is excellent. Really enjoyed one of the best so far

Parachutes by Coldplay
Sep 22 2022

Good album. Liked a variety of the songs but can’t say they were all too good. Didn’t love it but didn’t dislike it one I would return to again for a easy listen

Sep 23 2022

Not the biggest fan of Bob Dylan and his style of music and this album was no different. Felt like a sludge to get through, not for me.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 26 2022

Wasn’t the biggest fan of this album. A lot of the songs are very skipable and just didn’t really feel the style of it.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Sep 27 2022

A nice chilled out 90s album but the songs didn’t really interest me much in this album. Don’t mind a few of their songs but none were in this album. Although it was a chilled album it didn’t interest me enough.

Sep 29 2022

Really enjoyed this album a nice variety of songs and one I will return too in the future

Sep 30 2022

Really not for me at all did not enjoy, the music and lyrics just weren’t for me, not one I’ll be returning back too
