Jan 11 2023

4/10. Opening track is the best on the album by a long, long way!

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 13 2023

5/10. Easy listening country rock. Bad Moon Rising comfortably the stand out track.

White Ladder by David Gray
Jan 16 2023

An absolute classic. Desert Island Disc worthy album.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jan 17 2023

A period of time I'm never getting back. Utter dross. A generous 1/10.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jan 18 2023

Middle of the road dullness.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 19 2023

It’s The Beatles. Not their best, but this is still better than most.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jan 20 2023

Not really singing. Not very good rapping. Good beats. 6/10.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 23 2023

Solid 7. Enjoyable listen.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Jan 24 2023

Who doesn't love a bit of Weller?

Vivid by Living Colour
Jan 25 2023
Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 26 2023

Second half of the album is far better than the first. 7/10.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jan 27 2023

Not a great advert for Hip Hop.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jan 30 2023

Some good songs, but a bit wishy washy in places.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Feb 02 2023

Bland, uninteresting but inoffensive.

Feb 03 2023

Awful. Nothing memorable of note, other than a sense of time being wasted listening to it. A generous 1 star.

Fragile by Yes
Feb 06 2023

The bizarre instrumentals were the interesting bit in this self-indulgent mess of a record.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Feb 07 2023

Not much to enjoy in this.

OK by Talvin Singh
Feb 09 2023

Utterly dreadful.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 10 2023

Excellent guitar skills on show, but a bit overindulgent at times.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Feb 13 2023

A good listen, but not more than that.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Feb 17 2023

Some half decent songs in between the dross.

Queen II by Queen
Feb 21 2023

It's Queen. It's never going to be bad, but it's not up there with their very best work.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Feb 22 2023

I wouldn't turn it off if it was on the radio, but I wouldn't necessarily seek it out either.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Feb 24 2023

Adore this album. Contender for the best Scottish album of all time.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Feb 27 2023

An improvement on the last album I heard by them. That’s hardly a ringing endorsement though.

Disintegration by The Cure
Feb 28 2023

Quite a gloomy album, but the better sort of gloomy. A solid 7/10.

Low by David Bowie
Mar 02 2023

It's Bowie. Sound and Vision easily the stand out track.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Mar 07 2023

First half was ok. Then it just took a very odd turn.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Mar 08 2023

A solid album. Walk this way is clearly the stand out track though.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Mar 09 2023

Very much an album of two sides. The first half is far better than the second.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Mar 10 2023

Great album. Grabs your attention and doesn't let go.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Mar 13 2023

The music is better than the vocals. And the music isn’t great.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 15 2023

Not particularly enjoyable or memorable.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Mar 16 2023

Terrible vocals. Far too shouty.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Mar 17 2023

Didn’t really grab my attention at all.

Fun House by The Stooges
Mar 20 2023

Not bad. 6/10.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Mar 21 2023

Solid 7/10. Easy listening.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Mar 22 2023

Reminds me a little of Self Esteem.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Mar 23 2023

Disappointingly dull.

Stankonia by OutKast
Apr 03 2023

7/10, with two stand out tracks.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Apr 05 2023

Found this a bit repetitive.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Apr 17 2023

4/10. Not a classic.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Apr 20 2023

Not his best work, but better than lots of music in this genre.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Apr 21 2023

Bits of this were enjoyable, but not the songs in English.
