Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

One of my favourite albums, been listening to it for many years.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Mmm...not something I would have chosen to listen to. However, he is clearly an accomplished pianist and I detect an element of progressiveness in his compositions.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

5/5

Some great soul, funk and rock sounds here. A couple of the tracks took me back to the 70s. Really like the bass and lead guitar. Great album.

Transformer

Lou Reed

2/5

Not my cup of tea; however, the success of Walk on the Wild Side and Perfect Day must mean something. To me the lyrics sounded forced, just for a rhyme.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Unmistakable Neil Young vocals and acoustic sound, but for me album does not come to life until the second half, when the lead guitar kicks in.

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Didn't enjoy this, which was surprising because I was quite a fan of their earlier stuff.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

4/5

Excellent album, classic Neil Young, memorable.

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Way, way too depressing for me I'm afraid.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

2/5

Ridiculously long tracks. I can see how this appeals to some, but not for me.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

5/5

Just love that voice, unique and soulful. Lost way too early

The Doors

5/5

Great music, love this album. It's The Doors at their best

Maxinquaye

Tricky

4/5

Well...gave it a go not expecting to enjoy it; however, the gentle beat was easy listening and mid way through I heard "how can I be sure, in a world that's constantly changing". It's David Cassidy, what a treat dragged me back to 1973 ish!

Melodrama

Lorde

3/5

Easy listening, not something I would have usually listen to.

The Clash

4/5

Great early punk (ish). Enjoyed the different version of London's Calling.

Hot Shots II

The Beta Band

2/5

So, electronica not my thing, I really don't get it. However, there is definitely some early Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd sounds in there, sadly it doesn't progress into anything memorable.

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

2/5

Bit boring, was waiting for it to warm up, then it ended.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

2/5

Sorry, don't get it.

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

1/5

Once again, not something I'd listen to

Black Monk Time

The Monks

1/5

Very repetitive and simplistic sound/rhythms; however, it's dated because it is dated. An early sixties vibe, but clearly not as popular as other bands of the day. Wouldn't listen again

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Enjoyed it very much.

Ananda Shankar

2/5

I guess The Beatles did it with Ravi Shankar, so why not some Rolling Stones and The Doors! No thanks...

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

3/5

Sorry, not a fan.

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

Fantastic album, probably Rush at their best, Tom Sawyer and YYZ, superb.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

3/5

Good old fashioned sound, love it.

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

5/5

Excellent album, too many great songs to comment individually; however, My Old Man and Sweet Gene Vincent deserve a special mention.

Tago Mago

Can

Strangely enjoyable prog/psych rock from Germany

Dummy

I like a bit of rap to take me away, and this did the trick.
