Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme
Simon & Garfunkel
I enjoyed this album. It didn't make me go WOW! But I still enjoyed it. My favourite songs would have to be Cloudy and Scarborough Fair/ Carnticle. I love the magical enchanted forest-y vibe from Scarborough Fair! It transports me to another world.

Step In The Arena
Gang Starr
Was always a fan of old-school hip/hop and this was quintessential old-school rap. Some highlights of the album for me were the lyricism and the pace. My favourite songs were Check the Technique, Love Sick and Who's Gonna Take the Weight.

The B-52's
I enjoyed this album a lot more than I expected! The vocals are interesting in a cool way. I love the cadence and way each singer utilises their voice to complement the songs. It feels almost chaotic but a controlled chaos. My favourite songs were 52 Girls, Rock Lobster and There's a Moon in the Sky.

Bad
Michael Jackson
Already love this album so it was fun to revisit! Also made me realise I hadn't actually listened to every song from it! So that was a fun discovery — glad I still found something new.
I love Michaels voice and love, love, love the energy of the entire album.
Besides from the obvious choices (i.e., the certified hits), my favourites are Liberian Girl, I Just Can't Stop Loving You and Dirty Diana.

Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
Another album I already love!
My favourite songs are Gimme Shelter — just a classic in my opinion; Live With Me — I love the intro and the bass throughout the song; Monkey Man — I love the melody and the 'Bond-esque' intro, also, I live for the little hints of piano in the music break; and You Can't Always Get What You Want — a good sing-along song with a very catchy tune, love the choir in the intro, another classic.

Miriam Makeba
A beautiful album to say the least. The vocals are effortlessly gorgeous with equally amazing music to accompany them.
Favourite songs: The Retreat Song, Lakutshn Ilanga, and House of the Rising Sun.
I love her voice — it is so smooth and claming and sets the mood of the album perfectly.

The Queen Is Dead
The Smiths
I've been meaning to listen to The Smith's.
I really enjoyed this album! Loved the guitar and the vocals. It was more laid back than I was expecting and in the best way possible. Was pleasantly surprised.
My Favourite songs: Frankly, Mr. Shankly, Cemetry Gates, Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others and I Know It's Over

Tonight's The Night
Neil Young
I like the 'raw-ness' of his vocals. It's very real and uncensored which makes me feel closer to the music and the experience of listening to it — almost as if I'm listening to it live where it doesn't have to be perfect, just real. Also have to shoutout the lyrics of Borrowed Tune — made me smile.
My favourite songs: Speakin' Out and Mellow My Mind

Pink Moon
Nick Drake
A nice, calm and refreshing album. I really enjoyed the guitar and picking, as well as the vocal quality. Not an album I would rush to but definitely an album I would put on in the background while painting, colouring or cooking (or any other hands-on task). I will admit that at some point it felt like all the songs melded into one extra long song as they were all very similar and I couldn't really differentiate them.
My favourite songs: Road, Pink Moon and Know
