Since I Left You
The Avalanches
As sonic wallpaper while I worked it was fine, but I don't know why someone would deliberately sit down and listen to this.

Channel Orange
Frank Ocean
I'll be honest, I had very low expectations, and half of this album met those on the nose. But once we got past the usual misogynistic dross, there were a few tunes in here that I kind of enjoyed - Super Rich Kids had me humming along, Bad Religion I liked. Enough to come back to it? I doubt it, but I don't regret listening.

Music in Exile
Songhoy Blues
Admittedly Malian blues funk isn’t usually high on my list of dog walk listening material, but good work lads

In Utero
Nirvana
As a child of the 90s, Nirvana is in my wheelhouse, but I think this is the first time I’ve listened to In Utero end to end. It’s… fine?

Figure 8
Elliott Smith
It feels a bit like cheating when you get an album that you already know well, but don't mind this one bit. I can see it might not be everybody's taste though, and perhaps it needed a couple more upbeat tracks to round it off.

Liz Phair, dearly beloved of mid 90s music press, but somehow passed me by. To my great regret, because I really enjoyed this

Yeah... no. This is of a time that I think is best forgotten. On the plus side, it's only 33 minutes long.

At Budokan
Cheap Trick
As someone who thinks Surrender is one of the best pop songs ever written, this has long been on my "to listen" list. Sadly I have to agree with many of the other reviewers, I don't think I've really missed out. Other than Surrender it's pretty vanilla rock'n'roll.

Scream, Dracula, Scream
Rocket From The Crypt
Being of an age to have seen RFTC live at Reading in '96, this has a certain nostalgia for me. It does fairly rock along too, although it's not the most sophisticated music going, and the well-known songs (On A Rope, Born In '69) are probably the highlights.

The Blueprint
JAY Z
Jay-Z has a small winky, pass it on.
As it happens, I was going to skip this but in the spirit of the project I ploughed on fully expecting to hate it, but ... I didn't. The music production is great, a rap record where I don't just think every song sounds the same. But, ffs guys, let's find something else to talk about than h*es and n*ggas?
