Dirt by Alice In Chains
Aug 23 2023

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 by Jethro Tull
Aug 24 2023

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.

Aug 25 2023

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.

Aug 29 2023

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 by Willie Nelson
Aug 30 2023

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.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Sep 01 2023

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

Blackstar by David Bowie
Sep 04 2023

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 by Beastie Boys
Sep 05 2023

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 by Ali Farka Touré
Sep 06 2023

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

Queen II by Queen
Sep 08 2023

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

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Sep 12 2023

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.

Traffic by Traffic
Sep 14 2023

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 by The United States Of America
Sep 15 2023

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

Ten by Pearl Jam
Sep 18 2023

Could only listen to one song.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Sep 20 2023

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.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Sep 25 2023

Loud, preferred the Iggy versions.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 26 2023

This album takes me back. The year I finished high school.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Sep 28 2023

Faaaark yes, really enjoyed this album. Going to try and find it on vinyl.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Sep 29 2023

Great album for a sunny afternoon at home.

Heroes by David Bowie
Oct 02 2023
1999 by Prince
Oct 10 2023

Banger after banger

Oct 13 2023

I've never been fond of a live recording. I love a studio album, or to be in a live crowd. I did like the instruments in this

Odelay by Beck
Oct 18 2023

What a decade. Enjoyed this.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Oct 19 2023

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 by Norah Jones
Oct 20 2023

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.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Oct 26 2023

I went in with an open mind wanting to like this but it was a bit too heavy for me.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Oct 27 2023

Rock'n'roll band that I've never heard of. Really enjoy the keyboard. An all over the place album, but not in a bad way, I get rock'n'roll, ska, funk Nd punk throughout this.

Cut by The Slits
Nov 01 2023
Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Nov 02 2023

I fucking loved this. Listened on the way to Bean's birthday dinner and then again this morning. I want this on vinyl!

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Nov 03 2023

I tried, but I couldn't get into this. Definitely talented, but I'm not super into certain kinds of folky stuff and unfortunately this fell into that category.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Nov 06 2023

yummmmm. loved this album when I discovered it in my mid twenties while living in Moranbah. Love the organ in this one.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Nov 07 2023

Yesssssssssss, disco. Love Nile Rogers

Sincere by Mj Cole
Nov 08 2023

I got bored.

Suicide by Suicide
Nov 10 2023

Experimental.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Nov 13 2023

I grew up listening to The Rolling Stone, but not this album. It's ok, but nothing special.

Moon Safari by Air
Nov 20 2023

What an album. Fucking love it. Always have.

Document by R.E.M.
Nov 21 2023

Always forget I really like R.E.M.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 27 2023

CCR are played in every movie set in (or with a flashback to) the Vietnam War

Brothers by The Black Keys
Nov 28 2023
Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Nov 29 2023

I only love The Rolling Stones I grew up listening to with my mum and sister

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Dec 05 2023

I enjoy The Flaming Lips but not as much as those who REALLY enjoy The Flaming Lips, leaving me like I'm missing the point. Either way, this was pretty good.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Dec 06 2023

Not into this. It's overdone.

I See You by The xx
Dec 27 2023

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 by The Doors
Dec 28 2023

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.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 01 2024

Got off to a slow start, but really enjoyed it by the end of the album.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 02 2024

Yeahhhh
