With The Beatles
Beatles
What great melodies. The first three songs kicked me out my boots. It was their second Album, but their songwriting was already great. Back then, nobody knew what was to follow. McCartney is pop music in the purest form, whilst Lennon is s kind of predecessor of Indie/Alternative melodies.
It gets a kind of mediocre in the middle. But "Mr. Postman" actually a cover, saves it and lets me dance.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector
Various Artists
Love the sound. Spector was maybe crazy. But he knew how to record great records.

Different Class
Pulp
I think their next record was the actual masterpiece. But itโs all already here in this classical of the 90s. Love it. Itโs my youth. Itโs about revenge. The โhaveโ against the โhave notsโ. Ray Davies loves it I guess. It sound like Bowie and the Kinks would have made an album without starships and middle-class depression. โSorted for Eโs & Wizzโ is my favorite. The rhythm of the words, the exact pronunciation it so on point.

So
Peter Gabriel
I miss some kind of humor. Itโs all so serious and I donโt feel any fun.
I like Peterโs Voice. Mainly in the contrast to Kate Bush. A great duet.
Nice deconstructed sound. Far from everyday Pop Music.
I donโt like the slap-guitar.
Heโs no poet. โBig Timeโ is the worst song.
I doesnโt catch me at all. Over-ambitious, swinging with meaning where there is none. Boring.

Did not age well. The compressed drum sound, some questionable breaks, Trip Hop Beatsโฆitโs a 90ies record, wich worked perfectly in the 90ies. But it is not timeless.

I like the drum soundโฆrhythmicallyโฆespecially the base drum.
Red Barchetta is about a profane car. What effort the music seems to have, itโs just about a car. Makes it lifeless and cold. I like the musicโฆbut I would like it without the lyrics a bit more.

Black Holes and Revelations
Muse
Whatโs this over ambitious, megalomaniac, artificial nonsense all about? Itโs a Blockbuster Movie turned into music. Pink Floyd on steroids.
Rock Whores. Stadium crap without a soul.
I guess you have to have the same desperate mood to like it.
I donโt dare to read the lyricsโฆI guess itโs the old โI wanna hold your handโ kind of poems.
I donโt like it very much. My fault. Although I hear the stadium choruses and the perfect production.

I donโt know if it is a good albumโฆit doesnโt matter anyway. I feel 20 years younger whilst listening to it.
Itโs creative, itโs courageous, itโs silly, itโs clever.

Siamese Dream
The Smashing Pumpkins
This album was the soundtrack to my first broken heart. This tells more about my age, than the quality of the record.
But I like it. Couldnโt listen to it a while, but Iโm enjoying it right know.
Itโs a kind of angry and depressed Black Sabath sound. I prefer the Pumpkins.
