Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan

Absolutely dross. Some nasty words need to be said about her.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 25 2024

Shoutouts to sledgehammer but rest of it is pants. Music for divorced women.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jan 26 2024

Impressive pipes but nothing special. Good background music.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 29 2024

Fantastic album - imma need that new music soon my squire.

The Score by Fugees
Jan 30 2024

One of the best yet.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Jan 31 2024

Absolutely dross. Some nasty words need to be said about her.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Feb 01 2024

Couple of highlights but overall nothing special. 2/5

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Feb 02 2024

Very pleasant. Get talking heads vibes on some tunes which is always good.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 07 2024

Enjoyable listen. They have an original sound. 3/5

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Feb 08 2024

Electrifying music - the sort of stuff which gets Trev Tench out of his seat.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Feb 09 2024

Chemical Brothers at their best. 3.5/5

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 12 2024

Very meh. Not my cup of tea

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 13 2024

One of the greats - some of his finest work on this album.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Feb 14 2024

Can’t believe I’ve never listened to it before. THIS IS MUSIC. 4/5

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 15 2024

He’s a harrowing bloke Nick Cave but boy can he make some fantastic music. In love, in love, in love you laugh. In love you move, I move And one more time with feeling 4/5

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Feb 16 2024

Instrumentals are fairly good but that front man is a tosser. Rather listen to afghan dan. 2/5

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Feb 19 2024

Long live jazz.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Feb 21 2024

A truly historic album and way ahead of its time. It has the stamp of approval from sir Eric Worsley so that is enough for me. Narrowly misses out on a 5. 4.5/5

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 22 2024

Very enjoyable.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Feb 26 2024

The best singing voice of all time? Fantastic album - the title track sends shivers down my spine. 4/5

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 27 2024

A really well put together album which is something chilli peppers generally struggle to do. A certain ginger man has it tattooed on his arm so that certifies it’s CLASSIC status. 4/5

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Feb 29 2024

Singer sounds a lot like Lou Reed but the band are no where near the level of velvet underground. Not bad at all. 3/5

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Mar 01 2024

If you have a conversation about the 60s then the Zombies have to be involved. Great album and all flows together well. 3.5/5

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Mar 04 2024

Ferocious from start to finish. Star of the album was the sounds of science - can’t say I’ve heard a song quite like that before. Trev Tench went to see them play a Co headline show with Run DMC at Brixton when he was younger. 4/5

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Mar 06 2024

First time I’ve listened to one of their albums and it won’t be the last. Full album synced together nicely. Standouts were and ocean in between the waves and disappearing. 3.5/5

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Mar 08 2024

Not terrible but not my thing. Can imagine some great albums have missed out for ones like this - shocking. 2/5

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Mar 11 2024

Only exile tops this in terms of stones albums. One of the greatest to ever do it. 4.5/5

Revolver by Beatles
Mar 12 2024

An absolute masterpiece. The Beatles at their creative best - what an album. 4.5/5

Blur by Blur
Mar 13 2024

Can’t say blur have ever really clicked with me - maybe I’ve not give them enough of a go. Obviously some big tunes on this album and did enjoy it overall. 3.5/5

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Mar 14 2024

A true pioneer of the jazz scene. Enjoyed it from start to finish so will be delving through his other stuff. 3.5/5

Disintegration by The Cure
Mar 15 2024

An absolute piece of art. One of the greatest bands to every do it and this is their finest work. Probably the band I’d most like to see live out of everyone - being in the presence of Robert smith would be some experience. 5/5

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 18 2024

Proper feel good music. Papa was a rollin stone an obvious favourite on there - great example of how to build up a song. 3/5

Melodrama by Lorde
Mar 19 2024

Pleasant enough but how can I, as a man, ever sit there and listen to music like this. 2.5/5

Goo by Sonic Youth
Mar 20 2024

Raw punk. A great era of music for sure - can imagine seeing bands like this live would have been some experience. 3.5/5

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 21 2024

One of the best albums we’ve had so far. Nick cave lyrically at his peak and probably his best album - no surprise given the involvement of PJ Harvey and Shane Macgowan. 5/5

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Mar 22 2024

Not heard of the bloke before but it was a pleasant surprise. Good songwriting and melodies throughout. 3/5

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Mar 25 2024

Just don’t do it for me the police. 2/5

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Mar 26 2024

Probably the best album on this list so far. One of the most influential bands ever and this is their crowning piece. Simply majestic. 5/5

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Mar 27 2024

Struggling to picture the type of person who would listen to stuff like this. An absolute no from me. 1/5

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Apr 02 2024

Gives me mad men vibes. Finlay Tench’s favourite artist so he’s a goat for that alone. 3/5
