The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jan 08 2024

Good recommendation. Have listened but probably not completely and not carefully. Find myself listening to favourite tracks.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jan 10 2024

EVH is a god! Not all songs appeal but can't deny it's awesome. Listened to the 2015 remaster in high-res.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jan 11 2024

It's ok. Really nice production and mix (streamed in CD quality). Some good recognised singles. Some of the album a bit non-descript and average. Way better than I could do of course.

Jan 12 2024

It's ok. A couple of good tracks that I enjoy. Good quality production. Just not really a huge fan of U2 or of the whole album.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jan 15 2024

Revisited after listening to Nick Drake's debut album. Superb.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 16 2024

No idea why I've never listened to this before. Superb. I need to re-listen to Pink Moon and reassess. Great and beautiful songs, great arrangements, great acoustic guitar.

California by American Music Club
Jan 17 2024

Difficult to find to listen to. Didn't like this.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jan 18 2024

Good traditional blues from good blues musician. I like it.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jan 19 2024

Rubbish. Never understood the hype about Led Zeppelin and this cements my view. Only one song that's half decent.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Jan 22 2024

Not my kind of music but clearly quality music from good musicians and vocalists. Enjoyed the funk jazz and excellent jazz sax. Good flow of songs in the album. Cool and would happily have as background music, but equally good to listen properly to for a while with the good production, mix and quality instrument playing.

1984 by Van Halen
Jan 25 2024

Awesome!

Wild Gift by X
Jan 26 2024

Like it and definitely worth a listen and repeat listening. Lively and entertaining. Good guitar riffs/songs with good timing of bass and drums to match. Vocals grab you. Never heard of them before but a good suggestion. Bit punk combined with indie. Made me think of Maximo Park. Three stars feels a bit mean but not quite four stars for me. A good three stars.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 29 2024

Good jazz compositions with good solos. Interesting bringing in synths - can sound strange at first but then blends in well. Probably not my favourite style of jazz but glad to have listened to expand jazz knowledge.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 30 2024

Really good songs. Great guitar riffs and solos. Good album overall. 4 or 5 stars

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 02 2024

Definitely a good album. High quality playing , song writing and good production. Awesome bass. Interesting (and good) bluesy guitar licks mixed in with reggae and similar with jazz sounds. I like reggae but not my taste to listen to lots of it. Bob Marley is absolutely there at the top of the genre.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 05 2024

Excellent and genius through and through.

Queen II by Queen
Feb 06 2024

Ashamed I haven't listened to this before. Incredible. Raw, awesome guitar riffs, killer metal combined with sublime musicality. Stunner.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 07 2024
Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Feb 08 2024

Interesting to hear something new. Some good rock beats and guitar riffs. Not convinced about the songs overall, look lyrics and melodies.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Feb 16 2024
Feb 20 2024

Good album. Not heard before. Interesting blending in of sounds and synths and a good indie record

Feb 21 2024

What can I say. Air are amazing. This album is a feast of incredible audio and sounds. Compared to Moon Safari this blends electronics with jazz, prog rock, rock, trip hop, and lots more and is brilliantly experimental. The drum and bass tracks are awesome. The stereo soundstage is addictive. I can hear influences from Pink Floyd and Portishead in particular but executed in a very original Air way. A fantastic album. More please!! :)

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Feb 22 2024

Great album and a nostalgic sound of the time. Great writing and production.

Kid A by Radiohead
Feb 28 2024

Pretty different to Radiohead's earlier music but shows clearly their music skill and diversity. A great audio experience, with a mix of exciting and chilled songs.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Feb 29 2024

Very good. Good blend of folk and blues and probably some more genres. Will listen to again.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
May 26 2026

First time listen. It's good. Not my go-to American music but good melodies and lyrics. Can't place the genre. Reminds me of The Deep Dark Woods. Standard is good. Relaxed listen. Would listen to again.

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
May 27 2026

Not my thing but enjoyable in places nonetheless and no doubt popular with those who enjoy hip-hop/rap.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
May 28 2026

Quite like it. Good production and listenable. Reminds me a little of Deacon Blue.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
May 29 2026

Good. A high 3, will probably give a 4. A good approach to the style of music, entertaining, enjoyable and fun. Mood lifting. Good arrangements. Liked it more than I expected.

Diamond Life by Sade
Jun 01 2026

Classic. Quality songs and sound.

Green by R.E.M.
Jun 02 2026
Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jun 05 2026

I liked it. Not my go to choice of music but thoughtful written songs, good arrangements, and enjoyable.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jun 12 2026

Elements of rubbish with a few better rock numbers. I've generously given a 2, but I won't be listening to it again.

The White Album by Beatles
Jun 15 2026

Blackbird is good, the rest is not. Over-hyped.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jun 22 2026

Clearly one I should have listened to before now. Really good.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jul 06 2026

There's only one good song (Since I've Been Loving You). The rest is poor. I still don't understand why Led Zeppelin are rated as highly as they are.
