Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 22 2024

I don't think I've ever consciously listened to this album. Obviously heard Jamming and Three Little Birds! It feels immediately recognisable to me, and very energetic AND laid-back. I guess that's because so much electronic music (especially in dub, dubstep & drum and bass) is influenced by it or samples it. Enjoyed very much, solid.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Feb 26 2024

I'm not really sure what to say about this one. It's oasis, it sounds like oasis. A lot of their music kinda blends into one wall of sound for me. Bring It On Down did break it up a bit. It's decent, but never really been my thing. Solidly OK, often more enjoyable a few pints in.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 27 2024

Another famous band I've not really listened to! I'm not sure if I actually recognise any track names from their top tracks. Paranoid Android was good and Karma Police sounded familiar! Enjoyed the whole album including the 2017 edition with the second side, it certainly has a vibe.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Feb 28 2024

It was alright. Had a listen to all the Iggy masters and then one or two of the Bowie masters. Not really appreciating the "genius songwriting" or whatever that wikipedia bangs on about. Other 70s acts like the Clash are much more interesting.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Mar 05 2024

Pretty relaxing, not bad. Enjoyed it a fair bit, though not enough to bother looking at other bits of the discography.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Mar 06 2024

Very nice. Enjoyed all the fun playing with sounds. Felt proper intense.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Mar 07 2024

Great voice, enjoyed it a fair bit. Didn't get a wow factor from me, but then the album is twice as old as I am!

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Mar 08 2024

Enjoyed this. Sounds it's age, but still very unique in it's character. Very mellow. Surprised how much I liked it, given I don't tend to like harmonised pop-rock vocals like used by The Beatles a bunch. Good guitar licks for the sound effects.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Mar 13 2024

Pretty good for the kind of music it is, but I don't really gel with a lot of the more sickly ballad adjacent stuff. Other genres do that sort of emotion much better for me. Some good funk/soul on here, like Superstition. Might have to listen to more of the back-catalogue if it's like that.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Mar 14 2024

This is really good. Really enjoying the alternative takes from the deluxe edition. Great guitar work, solid vibes.

Ramones by Ramones
Mar 18 2024

Not sure how I never actively listened to this given how much I like The Clash. Good stuff - charged, frenetic and catchy as hell. My head has been bobbing the whole record.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Mar 19 2024

Has a few bangers, but also a bunch of shite. Would not listen to the album front-to-back really.

Slayed? by Slade
Mar 21 2024

It's classic rock. It's good classic rock, but I'm not really a classic rock kinda guy. Probably enjoyed My Life is Natural the most.

Mar 22 2024

Yes. Wait, that's another band! What I mean to say is this, good shit. Good shit right there.

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 26 2024

Yeah, nice. Sledgehammer 👍 Album is decent.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Mar 29 2024

Man I guess I really do hate ballads. There were some interesting instrumental bits but nah.

Future Days by Can
Apr 04 2024

Well this was a completely unexpected gem. Closing track Bel Air is great fun.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Apr 05 2024

It was pleasant to listen to, but not super my thing. Enjoyed some of the piano usage.

Fragile by Yes
Apr 08 2024

Yes, great. Really love the character of the album, great cohesion.

Apr 11 2024

There were a few good tracks, but a lot of it felt very uninspired and a bit pretentious. Perhaps that's just because I've heard more recent works that sit in the same genre.
