Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Oct 24 2023

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

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Oct 25 2023

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 by The Isley Brothers
Oct 26 2023

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 by Lou Reed
Oct 27 2023

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 by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Oct 28 2023

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 by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 30 2023

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

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Oct 31 2023

Excellent album, classic Neil Young, memorable.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Nov 02 2023

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

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Nov 03 2023

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

The Doors by The Doors
Nov 04 2023

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

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Nov 05 2023

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 by Lorde
Nov 06 2023

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

The Clash by The Clash
Nov 07 2023

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

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Nov 09 2023

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 by Beth Orton
Nov 10 2023

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

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Nov 12 2023

Once again, not something I'd listen to

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Nov 13 2023

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

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Nov 15 2023

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

Moving Pictures by Rush
Nov 17 2023

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

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Nov 18 2023

Good old fashioned sound, love it.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Nov 19 2023

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

Tago Mago by Can
Nov 20 2023

Strangely enjoyable prog/psych rock from Germany

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 21 2023
Rapture by Anita Baker
Nov 24 2023

Easy going soul music, okay for background.

Abraxas by Santana
Nov 28 2023

Excellent album. Highlighting Carlos Santana as an extraordinary guitar player.

Eagles by Eagles
Nov 29 2023

Lovely sound, great album.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 02 2023

Loved it!

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Dec 03 2023

Not for me

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Dec 07 2023

No thanks, not my taste.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Dec 08 2023

Not my cup of tea.

Tapestry by Carole King
Dec 09 2023

I admire the songwriting, but don't like it

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Dec 10 2023

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

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Dec 13 2023

Excellent! So many memories, loved it.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Dec 17 2023

Not for me

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 29 2023
Tommy by The Who
Dec 30 2023
Boston by Boston
Jan 02 2024

Superb debut by an excellent band!

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 15 2024
War by U2
Jan 19 2024
Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jan 21 2024

Great sound

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jan 26 2024

No thank you...

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jan 27 2024

Excellent second album.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 31 2024
Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 21 2024

No thank you...not my taste
