Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Oct 26 2023

Few amazing songs. The rest are solid enough and an easy listen.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Oct 27 2023

Really enjoyed Pink Moon, couple of other songs are okay, but not an amazing album for me.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Oct 30 2023

Good album, enjoyed almost all the songs.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Nov 01 2023

Great album, really enjoyed it. Obviously know the main hit but album was full of other ace songs.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 02 2023

Great album, lots of good songs.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Nov 03 2023

Not for me, only really enjoyed one song on the album.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Nov 06 2023

Really enjoyed this album with some great songs on it. Great to hear his solo stuff

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Nov 07 2023

Great album full of classic songs. Great to finally listen to this amazing album from a great band.

American Pie by Don McLean
Nov 08 2023

Mainly known for the big song, the rest were okay, nothing memorable but fine background music. An okay album for me.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Nov 09 2023

The album is okay, none of the songs particularly stood out for me but if it was playing in the background somewhere it would be fine. Went 2 star as no stand out song. I imagine it was a stand out with having such a strong female voice and lyrics in 93.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 10 2023

Enjoyed this album a lot, lots of great songs. Not listened to them much before so a nice surprise.

Nov 13 2023

Really enjoyed this album, have not listened to them before. Really enjoyed the different styles across the album and even in songs, especially given it’s a 1969 album.

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 14 2023

Great album, really enjoyed re-listening to it, as would have been my era growing up.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Nov 15 2023

Not heard of the band before, but was a fine listen. Wasn’t blown away but an easy background album to listen to.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Nov 16 2023

Really enjoyed Silver Dagger, great song, and she’s a great singer but wasn’t my type of music.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Nov 17 2023

Great album full of classic songs and hits. Even the lesser know songs are fantastic, really enjoyed this album.

Moon Safari by Air
Nov 20 2023

Strange album but a few well know songs. Enjoyed it on the whole but a couple of songs that were forgettable.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Nov 23 2023

Really good album, obviously a well known classic and can see why it made her huge.

Nov 24 2023

Bit of a strange album, really enjoy his voice and some of the songs are fantastic. Whereas others I wasn’t the biggest fan of. I will definitely be listening to more of his stuff though.

Illmatic by Nas
Nov 27 2023

Was an okay album, wasn’t amazing for me but appreciate this was out so long ago it would have been a massive debut album.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Nov 28 2023

Very funky album with the main song being Le Freak. Was okay, wouldn’t rush back to listen to it.

Nov 29 2023

An okay album, few good songs and a lot of average/concept songs which are just instrumental fillers.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Nov 30 2023

Was an okay album, easy enough listen but wasn’t any major stand out songs for me. Nice album to have in the background whilst doing something.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Dec 04 2023

A good album with a variety of types of songs. Couple of dud songs for me, but enjoyed the album as a whole. When he’s on form he smashes it out the park.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Dec 05 2023

Another decent album, few good songs and the rest average to me. Enjoyed it but wasn’t amazing.

Hotel California by Eagles
Dec 06 2023

Was an okay album, a lot of average songs for me. Obviously it’s led by the title track but apart from that it’s another sort of background album for me.

Roots by Sepultura
Dec 07 2023

Heavy metal is not really my thing so I wasn’t a huge fan of this album however objectively I can say they were a good band and the album would be good if you are into that type of music, but unfortunately not for me.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Dec 11 2023

Good funky album, some big songs on the album and enjoyed it.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Dec 12 2023

Very funky album with a couple of really well known songs. Enjoyed it.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Dec 13 2023

Pretty below average album for me, no standout songs and wasn’t blown away by the band.

Dec 14 2023

A good album, wasn’t sure if I would like Pulp given how overplayed their big hits are but enjoyed it.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Dec 15 2023

I remember this album coming out as a kid and thinking it was amazing. On re-listening as an adult I wasn’t as blown away however the remixes at the album saved it from a lower rating as they elevated the album for me.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Dec 18 2023

A great album and lives up to the hype. Full of great songs and worthy of its high rating.

Metallica by Metallica
Dec 19 2023

Enjoyed the album with the classic Enter Sandman on it.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Dec 20 2023

Not really listened to them before, really enjoyed the album. Will have to listen to more of their albums.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Dec 22 2023

I recognise the talent on display but just not my style of music. Wouldn’t listen to it again, but the band/Kuti are good at the style. I went a 3 because of the talent on display.
