Abbey Road by Beatles
Nov 17 2022

One of those albums I’ve heard was good but never listened to from start to finish. Pretty amazing.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Nov 18 2022

That was pretty good. A lot of artists must have been influenced by this record. Was a little over it by halfway.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Nov 21 2022

I love my indie rock and I‘m sure a lot of modern bands were probably influenced by this artist. But that was hard to listen to. Not for me.

Different Class by Pulp
Nov 22 2022

A pretty good album. I was more Oasis and Blur than pulp back in the day. Common People and Disco 2000 are rippers and some of the other tracks are quality. A few tracks I would skip. Will definitely give this another run.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Nov 23 2022

Not bad. Hello Nasty is better.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Nov 24 2022

I liked it. A bit like The Beatles X The Beach Boys. Hadn’t heard any of the songs before. Very catchy music. CTA-102 is a strange track but overall a great album. Would listen again.

Faust IV by Faust
Nov 25 2022

Unlistenable. Not for me.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 28 2022

What a great album. I knew of S&G and had heard Bridge Over Troubled Water, but never heard any of there other songs. Just about every track on this album is quality, the first four in particular. Would listen again.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Nov 29 2022

Calling your album ‘The Genius of …’ is a big call but man it delivers. Such a fun sounding album. I’d really only heard some of the songs of best of albums etc. Never listened to any of his albums from start to finish. Not sure if I’d go back again though.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Nov 30 2022

The King! A pretty cool record. Suspicious minds the standout. A few skippable tracks IMO. A solid record nonetheless.

Be by Common
Dec 05 2022

Not a massive hip hop fan but that was pretty good. Better lyrics than most rappers.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 07 2022

What a strange but awesome album. I had only really heard a couple of songs before. Need to give it another proper listen. The fact that he died right after it’s release is heartbreaking. RIP legend.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Dec 09 2022

Not too bad. I’m usually a fan of blues rock and the opener was great. Everyone knows Proud Mary is a cracker but some of the others I wouldn’t listen to again.

Vespertine by Björk
Dec 12 2022

Yeah, nah. I can’t get into bjork and her strange way of signing. Couldn’t finish this album.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 13 2022

Most of the Nick Cave songs I’ve heard were slow ballads and I was expecting the same. I think that’s why I never really clicked with his stuff. But this album (well, the first half) is full of bluesy rock, one of my favourite genres. As a proud 🇦🇺 I can’t believe I hadn’t heard this album.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Dec 15 2022

I have never heard much of Elliott Smith. That was a really nice listen. Will have to give it more time.
