My Bloody Valentine

Rubbish. Moaning and noise

Hot Shots II

The Beta Band

1/5

Mumbled whispering sounds with a slow repetitive sound. Not my thing in any way. They seem to experiment with sound, but nothing groundbreaking.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

3/5

Slow chilled vibe that reminded me of Bob Dylan, but with a touch of 80's, maybe due to the drum machine.

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

Old school classic. Showing it's age, but still some grout breaking songs.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson
