Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Mar 03 2023

Great studio setup and song writers. Basically her "greatest hits" album

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Mar 07 2023

With context, being a solo album at a young age, it's highly virtuosic. However, outside the few minutes used for The Exorcist, it was too much to enjoy. Random instrumental wankery above anything else.

Mar 08 2023

Old school country, few classics. Great musicianship. Often imitated, but the originals were the best.

Atomizer by Big Black
Mar 09 2023

Monster bass tone. A lot of Mötorhead influence. Decent.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Mar 10 2023
Eliminator by ZZ Top
Mar 13 2023

Sums up what ZZ Top are about. Solid bangers.

Low by David Bowie
Mar 14 2023

Sound and Vision is easily the best track. Sounds like a low budget sci-fi soundtrack for the most part. Absolutely not his best work. Low is right.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Mar 15 2023

Hopes were up because of Nick Mason. Then they plummeted to Rock Bottom. When you consider Dark Side of the Moon was the same year, this, for "prog" was awful.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Mar 16 2023

Alright. Kind of see where "concept album" comes into it. Not a huge fan overall, but listenable.

The White Album by Beatles
Mar 17 2023

Great, but not their absolute best. Dear Prudence and While my guitar are 10/10 though.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Mar 21 2023

A masterclass in rhythm. Arguably In My Time of Dying is greater than the eponymous Kashmir. Not the same standard as 1-4, but a great album overshadowed.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 22 2023

Great sounds from The Experience. Some of the longer jams go on a bit without adding much, but the classics from this album are exactly that for good reason.

Mar 23 2023

1 flaw. There's not enough. This Man has soul and grit. The quality of live recording is excellent for its age too. Brilliant listening.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Mar 24 2023

Raw, raucous and energetic. You can hear how many other sounds were influenced by these guys.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Mar 27 2023

King of the swinging zoo indeed. The most fun music I've listened to in a long time, and those sliding vocal harmonies were excellent.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Mar 28 2023

Get the story. Lyrically strong, but not his best work. Agree with general critical statements. Doesn't touch his best stuff by a long way.

Mar 29 2023

Awesome. Kick in the balls, throw you to the floor and beat you in a mosh pit. No punches pulled. A no frills metal album. Really enjoyed it.

Cross by Justice
Mar 31 2023

Some bits were too much and repetitive. The bass heavy tracks had some major stank though.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Apr 04 2023

Decent blues album. Not the best material though.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Apr 05 2023

Gave up halfway through. The only decent stuff is where a sample of another song was used. Naff.

Wild Gift by X
Apr 06 2023

Flavours of inspiration from Talking Heads and for The Pixies. Enjoyed it, decent.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 07 2023

Hard to dislike Neil. Great for live album too. Last track hits harder now than when this was recorded.

Woodface by Crowded House
Apr 10 2023

More than what I thought was a one hit wonder band. Decent listen.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Apr 11 2023

Golden years is a banger. Everything else was musically decent filler.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Apr 13 2023

Too much to take in. Feels cramped, getting in as much as possible.

D by White Denim
Apr 19 2023

Got a bit of everything. Every dynamic accounted for.

Apr 20 2023

"Arty". Got boring. Either too much "stuff" in a song, or nothing drives the song.

The Slider by T. Rex
Apr 25 2023

Not massive on T-Rex, but Bolan did what he did perfectly.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Apr 27 2023

Meh. Got bored halfway through

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
May 02 2023

Nothing too exciting.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
May 04 2023

Would never have thought to listen to this. Really relaxing and great musicianship.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
May 08 2023

Great what a sequencer and something to say can achieve. Pretty good, and compared with more over produced records, very clean

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
May 10 2023

Fair few bangers.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
May 11 2023

RRRAGAGAHHHGAGARRAGAGAHHHAGAGAGAGAGGAGAGAGAGGEHRRR

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
May 16 2023

Not bad overall. Shows another side to Iommi with the quieter tracks.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 18 2023

Like a greatest hits. Much more to it than Vol. 4

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 19 2023

One of the first albums I bought. Great stuff.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
May 22 2023

Possibly his best all round album and sparked John Mayer's whole career.

Arrival by ABBA
May 23 2023

Mama Mia II soundtrack for the most part. Basically greatest hits part 2. Great pop.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
May 29 2023

He's decent, but this style of blues is repetitive.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
May 30 2023

Great songwriter, but really have to be in the mood for Dylan. He's difficult
