Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Sep 04 2022

It's alright but relatively samey

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Sep 06 2022

Pretty Solid, very 80s and in a way quite like prince, liked it a lot more than I expected.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Sep 07 2022

Belter! I didn't know about the MDGAF track sample so a joy

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 10 2022

she certainly is dead. Great album but morrisey is racist so it's one of them isn't it.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Sep 11 2022

MIXED. didn't love.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Sep 13 2022

Decent but can't imagine me listening to it a lot. Very different and that's to be applauded.

Rio by Duran Duran
Sep 16 2022
American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Sep 17 2022

Clas west coast America hippie vibes. Listen again.

Sep 24 2022

Very good, not something I'd usually listen to but worth a go

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Sep 25 2022

Surprised I've not listened in full before. Very much worth it.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Sep 27 2022

Alright, not really my thing

The La's by The La's
Nov 01 2022

Tidy, la.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Nov 04 2022

Alright, that's about it

Revolver by Beatles
Nov 05 2022

Flawless. Should be a 6.

Be by Common
Jan 04 2023

VERY GOOD

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jan 15 2023

No intention of listening to this cunt ever again

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jan 16 2023

Beyond the classic signature tune there's a baffling amount of lift music on this. Some funky bits I guess but it's pretty bland.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jan 17 2023

Liked it more than I thought I would

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Apr 05 2023

Very decent worth having another go

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Apr 06 2023

Mad one but not for me.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Apr 24 2023

All a bit 'much' for me. I can just about take some prog but this just felt indulgent.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Apr 27 2023

Much better than I thought and, again, worth throwing on when you've got people round steve.

Apr 30 2023

Solid background music but not something too exciting

Debut by Björk
May 01 2023

Liked this more than expected and should listen again

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 03 2023

It's harder than their new stuff, I didn't love them at the time and think that's probably about right. They're ok, probably pretty good live.

Gold by Ryan Adams
May 05 2023

Another one that every time I listen to I feel like I should listen more often.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
May 28 2023

I can't say it was something I'd ever reach for but I hope I remember I've listened to it for a long time. It was lovely to have on whilst I was writing and listening to it again in that context would really work! I wish there was a bit more subtelty in the scoring, this is much more a 3.7 or something than a 3 but I'm leaning 3 so there we are.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
May 30 2023

Ridiculously good, not a 5 but certainly a 4.5, I mean it's bloody close to a 5.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 31 2023

I would be very unlikely to play it often but it's really good fun. More of a 3.7 than a 3 but not quite a 4

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 01 2023

I'd throw it on, not amazing but good fun

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jun 15 2023

Nice enough but background music for me. I really wish I could vote more than just 5 numbers though, guess this would be like a 2.9 but given what I've previously given a 3 a 3 here seems to high.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jun 16 2023

Liked it a lot, will listen to more DH and going to go see him this summer I reckon.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 17 2023

ah my heart. Easiest 5 ever.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 18 2023

Easy a 5. Opening few tracks simply outstanding.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jun 19 2023

Another that's like 3.8/3.9 for me but not quite a 4. Really like it though

21 by Adele
Jun 22 2023

It's alright, it's not for me, a very good break up album that said

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jun 23 2023

Decent but I don't miss listening to it

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jun 30 2023

Forgetable

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 01 2023

Good, listen again

Country Life by Roxy Music
Jul 02 2023

More rocky than I expected, will listen again, 3.75

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 03 2023

Solid, some real classics despite their reputation.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jul 06 2023

Like a couple of songs but not great tbh

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jul 28 2023

Good this and I've not listened to it much

Jul 29 2023

Didn't think this was that good given I really like queen

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jul 31 2023

crazy hippy shit, pretty listenable. I'd be going 2.9 here if I had more room

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Aug 02 2023

They're ok not amazing, can see these tunes would be better live

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Aug 03 2023

Jazz/funk. Not an obvious one but glad i listened.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Aug 05 2023

Sounds harsh but all this brasil shit just ends up sounding the same to me. Nice enough if you're by a beach but very unremarkable beyond that.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Aug 06 2023

Fairly generic 70s rock

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Sep 06 2023

Not amazing, I just don't love jazz like this

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Sep 07 2023

Only like 2 types of music, country and western

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Sep 08 2023

Bit different I guess but not really my bhangra vibe.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 09 2023

I've never loved BM but can see why he's popular and that's about it.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 15 2023

Incredibly weird but a good listen a high 3.4

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Sep 17 2023

Standard 90s electro indie pop fayre

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Nov 22 2023

It's not actually that good

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Nov 23 2023

Liked it a lot tbf, a bit like Donovan

Smash by The Offspring
Nov 25 2023

Not for me

Closer by Joy Division
Nov 27 2023

Seriously good

Boston by Boston
Jan 16 2024

Solid if not one I'll go back to

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Jan 18 2024

I liked this, bit like the strokes

GI by Germs
Jan 19 2024

I don't have time for another ultimately forgettable punk album

Jan 20 2024

I love the Dan

Cross by Justice
Feb 07 2024

Loved it

Feb 25 2024

Average

Apr 06 2024

90s indie filler

Apr 07 2024

Decent, would listen again

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Apr 11 2024

Alright but not their best

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Apr 12 2024

Quite enjoyed this, very different to what I'd usually listen to and folky

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
May 28 2024

Good

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jun 01 2024

Easy listening but decent

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Feb 28 2025

Harvest by Neil Young
Mar 06 2025
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
May 12 2025

Superb

Illmatic by Nas
May 13 2025

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
May 15 2025

Ok and not what I expected but unremarkable

May 16 2025

Top draw first 5 weaker back ens
