Oct 06 2023

His ability to form melodies and harmonies is unparalleled. Interesting use of synths, I'd guess a contemporary of it's time. The songs are not all as refined as they could be, often there is a lot of musical noice to the pieces. Good, but if you didn't tell me what the stand out songs are I think I'd struggle to tell you the best songs on the album I did like the final song harmony, dreamy song. I can tell it's good but it's not a great match for me

Debut by Björk
Oct 07 2023

I just want to have the strength to admit I actually liked this album to someone. Weird and artistic, melodically beautiful, playful tones, just cute. Nice album. Few stand outs, should revisit again.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Oct 08 2023

Great guitar tone and good chops at times. I really enjoy live recorded albums and this likewise captures friends having fun jamming together around loosely defined songs. Few song moments to write home about but the focus is in the jam, and who doesn't like jam? No song writing to write home about but a solid album all the same

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Oct 09 2023

This album is brilliant. Every song is its own soundtrack. Fun songs, sad songs, serious songs, love songs. Brilliant vocals too. I can listen to this but also works as background music (if you want to feel like a positive Tarantino scene). Big fan.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Oct 10 2023

This is an album. I can here how it inspired but honestly this album is empty in itself. The most notable thing about this album is the the year it came out.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Oct 12 2023

It's alright. One of those albums that'd inspire you to be in a band but it doesn't hold up to me.

Suicide by Suicide
Oct 16 2023

Started strong then got weird for weird sake

Live At Leeds by The Who
Oct 17 2023

Great live album Missing Baba O'Reilly for the big 5 though

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 19 2023

Pretty cool, I imagine a cult classic

Country Life by Roxy Music
Oct 20 2023

Weird not not characterful enough to pull it off

Dummy by Portishead
Oct 22 2023

Brilliant. How have I not listened to all the recommendations before! Sexy last song too

Back In Black by AC/DC
Oct 24 2023

Just a great album. Knows it's classic rock and executes it perfectly. Brian does well in the heels.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Oct 26 2023

This is one of the first albums on here that reminded me it's not about loving the album, but you should definitely have listened to it at least once in your life. Great album.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Oct 28 2023

I mean I love the pixies

Forgetful 80snrock. I'm sorry.

Vespertine by Björk
Nov 15 2023

Not as good as debut

2112 by Rush
Nov 21 2023

Great prog album

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Nov 25 2023

4/5, but a 5/5 background live jazz album

Make Yourself by Incubus
Nov 26 2023

Was going to give it 4 starts but I just keep coming back Very guitary, very me

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Nov 27 2023

I mean it slaps at times I see why she was such an icon

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Nov 28 2023

R A D I O H E A D

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Nov 30 2023

It's just a 4, could have been a 5, but the performances let it down sometimes

Copper Blue by Sugar
Dec 01 2023

Lots of guitar I guess

Homework by Daft Punk
Dec 02 2023

Its so well produced but I find so many songs slightly repetitive. Nearly 5/5

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Dec 03 2023

Some bangers, some fillers, good inspiration for a punk band

Django Django by Django Django
Dec 04 2023

Almost had me at a great album in the first track Rest is very meh Odd album

On The Beach by Neil Young
Dec 05 2023

Like walk on. Very chilly song and good guitar riff. Rest of the album is okay. I think this counts as mum rock

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Dec 08 2023

First song is great and sets it up to be a lofi album. Rest is mid

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Dec 09 2023

Classic country, like the proper kind. Countrh not western. What's more to be said. Not a country man though...

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Dec 10 2023

With those 3 singles back to back it's timeless in itself. However the other tracks are musically not but bad but kinda meh. Suffers from MJ tax.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Dec 11 2023

This is an accurate representation of insomnia. And why would you want to listen to that?

Dec 12 2023

Like queen. Like singles. Filler is just decent queen. In all a good album if you like queen. Nuff said I guess.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Dec 13 2023

Damn that's a deep crooner Birning songs though

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Dec 14 2023

I just let em... Slip awayy

Kala by M.I.A.
Dec 15 2023

Characterful for sure

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Dec 16 2023

Mother and child reunion opening riff is a trigger to throw me back to being around 10 years old in the kitchen Great album

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Dec 18 2023

You can really hear the reggae influences throughout the album which is cool. It's well written and recorded, in all pretty solid. Definitely had more than a listen or two.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Dec 23 2023

Damn solid pop album. Some white girl anthems, some white mom anthems, some sad white girl ballads, very good all round!

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Dec 24 2023

Cute album, song or two on there I recognise? I'm all it's a nice acoustic duo (or trio I guess) album. Nice.

Pump by Aerosmith
Dec 25 2023

Don't bore us get to the chorus. Still bored. Sorry.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Dec 27 2023

Phat first song. Proper skank face blues. Some great crooner tracks, some great ballads, this is Tom Waits in once of his peaks

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Dec 28 2023

Weirdly Eh Nothing wrong, everything works, but not for me

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Dec 29 2023

Aug 27 2024

This should be interesting but the performances are forgetful

Nixon by Lambchop
Aug 28 2024

This should be interesting but the performances are forgetful. Yes album was better 4/5

Feb 03 2025

It's weird they have much better albums than this? It's the smiths but without any classics?

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 04 2025

Oh just going to casually create one of the greatest blends of genres for a side project as you do? Wow cheers Damon

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 05 2025

Probably pioneering but today, a bit shit

Feb 06 2025

Feb 13 2025

It's good but I am strangely not fussed. I find it weirdly forgettable

Feb 14 2025
