The Byrds

5/5

This album showcases the amazing Roger McGuinn and that 12 string guitar sound - the songs are fun, pop and definately for their time but the songwriting is strong and the harmonies are great. In amongst the songs you'll find Chimes of Freedom which is far from lightweight pop take a listen. The hit from the album is All I Really Want To Do but the album enjoyable even 58 years on from its original release.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

This album proves to me that singer songwriters are a spacial and rare breed - here you will find the amazing Leonard Cohen song Hallelulah which is in its own way a classic but Jeff takes it to a whole another level. Listen to this album, and get deep into the vocals of Jeff Buckley and here just as few hints to to sounds of his dad Tim.

The Rising

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

This album captures perfect the themes and feelings we all had post the events of 9/11 - the tracks that mean most to me are Mary's Place and My City In Ruins and of course the title track The Rising

The Coral

5/5

Wow this was a total new discovery for for me and I loved the album Simon Diamond and Skeleton Key are great but it a really retro sounds with a twist - its a ride for sure listen to the whole thing please

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

5/5

Reminded me of the amazing Live Aid show in London 1985 - a show I was at working for a London Radio station doing stage site interviews and managed to get Bowie, Brian May and anothers to stop and say a few words - Paul Weller was fantastic that day The Style Council where very popular with the crowd too.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

The sound of the 80s and I worked in a music store then and one of the staff their has the biggest crush on Blondie it was funny to watch him when we played her videos on the screens in the store. Its a good record and lots of tracks that did not become singles that could have been
