Only managed 3 songs. Didn't really like anything about it.

Dookie by Green Day
Oct 09 2023
Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Oct 10 2023

Good album. Recognised some of the songs, but like the live versions of most.

Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 11 2023

Honestly was disappointed with this one. Knowing the famous songs made me think it would be a great album, but I didn't really enjoy most of it.

Tommy by The Who
Oct 19 2023

This album was good. Didn't know what to expect going into it. Some familiar songs, lots I hadn't heard before.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Oct 20 2023

Really not my cup of tea. Didn't even finish the album.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 24 2023

Really enjoyed this album. Wasn't sure what to expect, but especially track 1 was great.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Oct 25 2023

Not what I was expecting. Did the job as background music. Not sure I'd listen to it again but was ok.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Oct 27 2023

Very strange album. Some parts good as ambient music. Can hear some influences from other bands here and there. Cool in the Pool is very weird!

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Oct 30 2023

Had it in the background as I worked and didn't really "hear" much of it. Probably wouldn't listen to it again but didn't actively dislike it.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Oct 31 2023

Decent album. A little bit weird in places but overall not bad.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Nov 01 2023

Not really my kind of thing. Close though. 70s blues/rock can be ok but I'd probably rather just have either blues, or rock.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 02 2023

Being a fan of his version of Hallelujah I thought I might like some of his other stuff but it wasn't great.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 03 2023

Ok album. Nothing outstanding to me though.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Nov 06 2023

Brilliant album! Really enjoyed it. Long time since I listened to this album.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Nov 07 2023

Great album. Still love hearing his voice!

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Nov 08 2023

Ok for mostly bland pop-rock. Mr Brightside has been overplayed over the years so kind of fed up hearing it.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Nov 17 2023

Great listening to this after a long time. Really enjoying it when it came out and was good to get back to it.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Nov 20 2023

Badly named band. There's no Joy here! Boring songs, pretty bad singing. Not for me.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Nov 22 2023

Great album. Brilliant songs, really good selection. I need to listen to more Bowie!

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Nov 23 2023

This exceeded all my expectations! Didn't know how this could work but it does!

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Nov 24 2023

This album was ok. Good background music. Wasn't too intrusive and I certainly would listen to it again.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Nov 27 2023

Really enjoyed this. Only familiar with a couple of songs from this band but I think they were all pretty great on this album.

The White Album by Beatles
Nov 28 2023

A few good songs but most I wouldn't listen to again.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Nov 29 2023

Not great. I like a lot of other similar stuff but for some reason just didn't really get into this album.

Real Life by Magazine
Nov 30 2023

I tried but it really wasn't my thing.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Dec 01 2023

Good songs but a bit too depressing to listen to the whole thing

Snivilisation by Orbital
Dec 07 2023

Different album. I suppose if in the right frame of mind it could be great.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Dec 08 2023

Better than I expected. Decent album over all.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Feb 08 2024

Really enjoyed this album. Wasn't sure what to expect. I'd heard the name but never listened to them before.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Feb 09 2024

Not being a big beatles fan I wasn't looking forward to this, but enjoyed it more than I expected.

2112 by Rush
Feb 12 2024

Ok in parts, but wasn't my favourite listen.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 13 2024

I obviously knew the name of the band but hadn't listened to them before. I didn't hear anything special in this album.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Feb 14 2024

Very different and some interesting rhythms.

90 by 808 State
Apr 09 2024

OK background music. Good early example of electronic music as I'd call it today.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Apr 10 2024

Good album. Interesting hearing him deal with the audience.

Vespertine by Björk
Apr 11 2024

Only managed 3 songs. Didn't really like anything about it.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Apr 12 2024

Think I liked this even less than Bjork! First 20-30 seconds of the first track had an ear splitting noise. Then the songs just weren't very good!

British Steel by Judas Priest
Apr 15 2024

Good fun album with some classics on it.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 16 2024

I probably wouldn't rush to listen again but it felt like quite a chilled album. I didn't not like it.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Apr 17 2024

Quite good album. Wasn't sure what to expect.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Nov 22 2024

Recognise some of the songs. Really overrated. Not a great album to me.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Nov 27 2024

Can't find the album on Spotify but nice voice.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Nov 28 2024
Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jan 10 2025

Ages since I've listened to this album. It's great!

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jan 13 2025

Was ok background music. I wasn't blown away by it. Can't say this has made me a Dylan fan.

The Score by Fugees
Jan 14 2025

Not my favourite style of hip hop. It was ok but more the RnB aspects of it.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jan 15 2025

Not really a fan of this music. I know one song on the album and even that I don't really like.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Jan 16 2025

Really good album. Enjoyed it.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jan 20 2025

Torn because it's a good album but now he's supporting Trump?

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jan 21 2025

Was ok as background music and wasn't as bad as the most famous songs.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jan 22 2025

Was an ok album. Nothing earth shattering.

Jan 23 2025

The only song I remotely like on this album is Tainted Love and even then I don't like this version of it.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Jan 24 2025

Relatively easy listening. Pretty repetitive though.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jan 27 2025

Nice easy listening with some familiar songs

Jan 29 2025

I'm not a big fan of Johnny Cash. Most on this album was pretty forgettable but it does have my favourite song of his, and that's his version of Hurt.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Jan 30 2025

Early nineties dance music. Some tunes I recognise but a lot are headache inducing now :D
