This came so close to being my first hard pass on the list. Two and a half songs in I had to switch it off. I came back to it and managed to listen to it all in stages. I won't be listening to it again but I can see why it's on the list so on that basis will give it a neutral 3 stars.
David Bowie

The Boo Radleys
5/5
In 1993 alternative music had gone a little bit stale. The Stone Roses had disappeared off the face of the earth, and the highs of 1991 couldn't be maintained. In the midst of all this The Boo Radleys burst from their shoegazing origins and unleashed angels and demons alike in a whirl of horns, dub-reggae, jazz, Beatlesesque melodies, and harmonies to die for.
The album might be called Giant Steps but the Boo Radleys dared to fly.

So many questions about this one. Why are all the songs so short? Why do most of them sound Beatlesque - except the one that sounds like Status Quo?

There's no reason for this to be so long. It was heading for a three star rating, but eight minutes of Sir Psycho Sexy is taking that down to a two.

I bought this album on CD at the same time as XO by Elliott Smith. Both were purchased purely on recommendations and reviews - in those days you didn't have direct access to whatever music you liked, whenever you wanted to hear it. One of my best days ever for music buying.
I still listen to this regularly and love it as much as the first time I heard it. If you find yourself stuck in traffic, pop it on and let the wave of calm just wash over you.
