Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

4/5

Beautiful, but perhaps just a bit too introspectively maudlin

Emmylou Harris

1/5

Pretty awful.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

The hits are great, the rest...less so

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Not bad. The hits on this one are the cheesier cuts...

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

2/5

This hasn't aged very well - sounds very much of its time. Some good songs, but generally pretty lame, although rather easy-listening.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Still sounds bloody good. I don't love it as much as their previous two albums, but it is still excellent.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

3/5

So 60s it's funny

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

4/5

So of it's time...could be a handful of other bands from the early 90s, all much of a muchness but all really good too. Very much my era and area

Born To Be With You

Dion

2/5

Yeah nah

Miriam Makeba

4/5

Nice

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

Pretty classic.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Obviously a stone-cold classic...but just not really my thing

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

3/5

So many amazing albums from the first half of the 90s. This isn't one of them.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

One of my favourite albums of all time, and one of the first I remember loving as a young child. Not so keen on DB's later stuff, but this is pure genius.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Not amazing but ok

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

3/5

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Pretty damn funky

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

Such an amazing voice, great tunes...not something I would listen to that often, but definitely a classic

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

5/5

Fantastic. I've obviously known of The Isley Brothers for ever, but had never really listened to them. Great stuff.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

5/5

Brilliantly original and distinctive.

A Seat at the Table

Solange

3/5

Nice, but really not my bag

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

2/5

I made it through 8½, then a couple more. Some are good, some are ok, some are shit

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

Another giant of musical history that just doesn't do it for me

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Not as good as his previous two, but still pretty good

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

3/5

Quite like

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

Another classic which I've managed to avoid for 50 years. Pretty good.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

2/5

Hmm, pretty dodgy

Fleet Foxes

3/5

Not massively inspiring. Kind of nice but also a bit meh

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Superfly indeed. And Superfunky

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

4/5

Original and interesting, still sounds good to me.

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

4/5

Beautiful, but perhaps just a bit too introspectively maudlin

Kimono My House

Sparks

4/5

Quite bonkers, their influence on subsequent bands very evident, and their likeness to contemporaries (esp Roxy Music) also clear. I didn't love it much as I hoped I would, but I will listen again.

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

I was expecting this to sound really dated and was very surprised that it didn't. However, I was never a fan, and this listen didn't change that.

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

3/5

Yeah...fun, but not amazing

evermore

Taylor Swift

2/5

Really not my jam, but far from the unlistenable shite I had half expected
