A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

The sound of 90s grunge, rough voice that soars, the heavy riffs and that solid kick drum that keeps you nodding or atomping along through the entire album. A classic 90s sound. Never listened back in the day but will be adding it into rotation.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

For some reason I always assumed Jethro Tull were a heavy band. Today I learned they're actually a medieval seventies band. Colour me pleasantly surprised.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

2/5

Appreciate the bluesy twang, an album to relax to. I didn't mind it, but very whiny voice with a lot of harmonica. Didn't appreciate the line about "5 & 10 cent women" that inplied sex workers have nothing in their head.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

3/5

Good fun, but not a relisten album for me.

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

2/5

Couldn't listen to the album on Spotify, but the song I did hear was fun. Gonna keep an eye out for this one on vinyl.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

I grew up listening to this album. It'll always have a special connection for me. A slower movong album that was still able to hold my attention as a kid.

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

3/5

First time listen, enjoyed it and can totally see all of the inspiration it was for things to come. Really liked Tennesee

Street Signs

Ozomatli

3/5

I've never heard of this band before. I really enjoy their sound. Gives me Cat Empire vibes

Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

Decided to give this album a listen in spite of not being enthusiastic about Bowie. Really enjoyed the jazz influence on the first track. I can't see the hype in the overall album, but maybe it would grow after a few listens.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

I bought a secondhand copy of Licenced to Ill, it was my first time in Red Eye Records during my first expedition through Sydney as an adult. I loved this album. The beats hold up, the cow bell makes me smile. However the lyrics haven't really stood the test of time. Gave this one a double listen.

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

2/5

Reminded me a little of irish music. Wasn't a huge fan.

The Bones Of What You Believe

CHVRCHES

3/5

I loved this album in in it's day. It holds up but isn't one I'd have on high rotation

Queen II

Queen

4/5

I enjoyed this album the further I made it through the tracklist. Was the perfect soundtrack to a lunchtime walk through the city

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

Thoroughly enjoyed this. A little kooky in parts.I think I like progressive rock?

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

This is a great album. Growing up we had Cyndi's "A Night to Remember" album as a staple. This album holds up and I had multiple listens.

Virgin Suicides

Air

4/5

I need to watch this movie.

Traffic

2/5

There's only so mamyof these 70's bands I can listen to. Nicely crafted, I hear Bowie,The Doors, The Beatles, Jethro Tull, Creedance Clearwater Revival and so many other 70's influences in this. Not sure who influenced who, but it's all in here.

The United States Of America

2/5

I could only hear one song on this album. But I'm kinda glad. I'm a little bit over these 70s albums

Ten

Pearl Jam

2/5

Could only listen to one song.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

Enjoyed this. Gentle.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

2/5

Paul's Boutique feels like a follow up album where they tried more bells and whistles on their original sound. I'm not sure if I think that because it sounds different to Licence to Ill and I'm so attched to that album.

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

Rock'n'roll bb. I wasn't in the mood, but this made me feel like I was in the early 90's/late 80's

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

3/5

This was gorgeous, but the piano felt a little repetitive towards the end of the album. Can't believe I thought Avril was better than this back in the day.

Childhood classic.

1/5

Nope.

I See You

The xx

4/5

I've only listened to the first two albums from The XX. I absolutely flogged them. This started out a bit more upbeat and then really settled in to what I remember from them. The vocal work is dreamy and reminded me why I was so into their first albums.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

The piano in the first track, wish it carried all the way through. I've enjoyed The Doors since my mid-twenties when I moved to Moranbah.
