The Beach Boys

5/5

One first though on listening today was: what's not to like? An album that works, and that leave you feeling better for having listened.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

1/5

Struggled with this one...couldn't find a way in.

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

5/5

If you've got an arse, this is going to set it in motion.

A Nick Cave fan, so this gets five stars.

Love this album. One of Radiohead's best.

The Village Green Preservation Society

This is like someone said "Ray, do us a favour mate, make the quintessential, slightly camp, UK 60s / 70s pop album", and they've nailed it!

5/5

Great album, probably Van Morrison's most popular, all killer.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

Faultless. Best NC&BS for me.

The White Room

The KLF

This always leaves me with a grin on my face, on YouTube searching Timelords' Doctorin the Tardis... ...The KLF had a knack of hitting the spot and making it look like an accident.

Really liked this album, finally got past that Best Of collection and glad I did.

TBH I listened to Big Audio Dynamite instead. Don't listen to racists: “Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out,” exclaimed Clapton to his captive audience. “Get the w*gs out. Get the c**ns out. Keep Britain white,” he added. Just part of the rant. This is a problem for me. In full: “Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands … So where are you? Well, wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country … I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white … The black wogs and coons and Arabs and f*cking Jamaicans don’t belong here, we don’t want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don’t want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man … This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for f*ck’s sake? … Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!”
