Highway 61 Revisited
Bob Dylan
No brainer for me, this is the album I have in the car fgs. Dylan at a point where everything he typed turned to gold and his fans wanted to cut his throat, inject it
Really been enjoying It Takes a Lot to Laugh it Takes a Train to Cry recently, but the standouts remain:
-Like a Rolling Stone,
-Queen Jane Approximately,
-Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues,
-Desolation Row.
Just a fantastic album from start to finish, even if its my least favourite of the trilogy.

Drunk
Thundercat
Very good, but not my thing- sonically gorgeous and consistent, but I think Id prefer 10 5 min songs over 20 odd really short songs, as I can only now remember 2-3 tracks specifically

Van Halen
Really solid, hard to fault. Comparing like to like, though, AC/DC's Powerage from the same year shows it LEVELS. Bon Scott decided to take things in his OWN HANDS. Great cover of You Really Got Me

Seventh Tree

A good listen, feel like I cheated having the lyrics on spotify open but I feel like there's not a lot of substance in these lyrics, but again a really pleasing listen

Music For The Jilted Generation
The Prodigy
Was so happy seeing this come up, a true classic, loved this one for 10 years. For me though, fat of the land clears, even if this has more of an arcade-y appeal. Favourites here remain the singles, which are among the prodigy's best.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen
Only ever heard the hits here before, he has a command of language unseen in music, with such vivid imagery and apt metaphors. This is the second album I've heard of his, after the ill fated Spector album, and it's clear he's at the strength of his powers here.

Truth And Soul
Fishbone
A romp; a fun mess of themes and genres. I have heard enough ska punk in my life to not want to hear any ever again, but it's clear that this is some of whats being imitated by lesser groups. Big fan of the second, more overtly political, side.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
Richard Thompson
Yeah, it's good, pretty authentically celtic-sounding. If I was made to review this last October, when I was obsessed with the title song, I'd probably have given this a higher rating.

Was so happy to see this come up, this is an album I have loved for years. Seen the slits condescended with such accusations as not being proper musicians but this is a truly groundbreaking album, and sounds better than anything the sex pistols put out

Paul's Boutique
Beastie Boys
A success in production, but on the whole really not for me: The Beastie Boys' delivery has always set my teeth on edge, and I find it hard to look past, no matter how good the lyrics are. The achievement here is the production, made at a time when the writing was on the wall for the wild west of sampling. Same producers as Odelay!

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
Dead Kennedys
A personal favourite. They are a lot more kind of naive/ optimistic than your UK punk band but still quite sarcastic and vengeful. My favourite track is lets lynch the landlord but all the hits ie kill the poor california uber alles and viva las vegas are great

Way too long, this should've been two stellar albums; fortunately the album is redeemed by the sheer strength of the songs. Savoy Truffle really impressed this time, but my favourites remain:
-While my Guitar Gently Weeps
-Don't Pass me By
-I'm So Tired
-Happiness is a Warm Gun
