A Night At The Opera
Queen
Not Queens finest album for me but some great songs and an amazing album cover. I think the album has great variety and sound. Its a great listen.
3 incredible songs in you’re my best friend, love of my life, and Bohemian Rhapsody, these make the album and give it a 4.
Favourite song: Love of my life and You’re my best friend.
Least favourite song: I have never understood I am in love with my car. Rubbish song! Why this makes their live set I will never know!! Good company is also terrible.

This dude has a great voice and sound. Great rock and roll sound. The album though is very one dimensional with very little else to offer. I can see why its historically important but for me its very samey
Favourite song: Cry to me
Least favourite: nothing is bad but little stands out

Not bad but not something I would listen to again. I'm not a big hip hop/rap fan but I can see this album is good in that genre
I enjoyed Crompton. Maybe that is the Dre Dre influence.
Favourite song: Crompton
Least favourite: A lot of the songs are just the same
Album artwork: Not for me

Tommy
The Who
I was really happy to see this album on a nice summers weekend. I went to see the Who recently at the RAH and they played a section of the set of Tommy songs. It sounded so good live.
This album will never be Who Next but it tells a story and is a fun listen. There are some great songs like Pinball Wizard and I’m free.
Favourite song: Pinball Wizard
Least favourite: There is a lot of filler
Album artwork: Iconic album art

It’s a short album but its stunning. Lovely music and beautiful lyrics. I reviewed five leaves left about 3 months ago and didn’t enjoy it at all. I found Drakes voice tough to enjoy.
On this album it really works with the folky guitar sound. I enjoyed this and will listen to it again.
Favourite song: Things behind the sun

GI
Germs
High enegery and great start with what we do is secret. Hearing that set the scene for an hour of punk.
After a while it all got very same! I couldnt understand a lot of the lyrics as they got taken over by screaming.
That said the sound is great.
Favourite song: every song was the same and average
Least favourite: same again
Album artwork: I love the cover art

Bossanova
Pixies
I have never really liked the Pixies before, but I loved this album. It has some great songs on like Alison and Is she weird.
Its a solid begining to 90s rock, yet slightly repetative after 6-7 songs. You can see Ash, Feeder and other bands like that being really inspired by the Pixies and this album. Its very close to their sound.
Favourite song: Alison
Least favourite: Hang wire and stormy weather.
Album artwork: I love the artwork

In Rainbows
Radiohead
What a tune Jigsaw falling into pieces is. Only ever heard that one before from this album so the rest of the album was a suprise to me. I have to be honest It started badly. I really couldn’t stand 15 Step
After the disapointment of track 1 the album improved dramatically with bodysnatchers and then with Nude which I would say is the standard Radiohead sound!!
That said there are some great songs on this album and its a really enjoyable listen, it will be listened to again!
Favourite song: Jigsaw falling to pieces and Bodysnatchers. Great songs.
Least favourite: 15 Step
Album artwork: Great album cover

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
The artist’s name is a mouthful. Great voice and sound though. Very Public Enemy.
My first though was that this is socially well-behaved rap and hip-hop. Nice lyrics and messages. The lyrics on Television, the drug of the nation and Satanic Reverses are amazing. Very important of the time.
Favourite song: Television, the drug of the nation
Least favourite: All tracks were good
Album artwork: OK cover.

I love Blur.
This album starts really well with Beetlebum, Song 2 and Country Sad Ballad man. 3 great songs
There is some filler on the album like chinese bombs and theme from retro. Apart from that it is a strong indie album. Blur are good, but they are not Oasis!!!
Favourite song: On your own and Beetlebum
Least favourite: Theme from retro
Album artwork: Love the cover

This guy comes with quite a reputation. Nick Cave loves this fella.

For me though there are far too many instrumental songs. Its good this album but not great for me
