Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Mar 24 2024

A little over the top with the stereotype gangster crap. Not entirely my cup of tea.

Mar 25 2024

A powerful blend of jazzy soul that went a little left field at times. A powerful album.

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 26 2024

Classic Santana! Such a unique sound and vibe that makes you feel the music as one of kind.

The Clash by The Clash
Mar 27 2024

Musically it wasn’t my cup of tea back in the 70’s and it’s still not my thing today. The album itself was a true reflection of the discontent of the day. Most definitely deserves its place in the 1001.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Mar 28 2024

What’s not to like about classic Kate Bush.

Guero by Beck
Apr 01 2024

Mediocre easy listening. Nothing too demanding musically.

My Generation by The Who
Apr 02 2024

This album is the seed that a multitude of bands have taken inspiration from. I’ve never been a fan of The Who but credit needs to be given when it’s due.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 05 2024

Wow, shouldn’t have listened to this first thing in the morning. It’s all a bit too heavy for me.

Apr 06 2024

Can’t say I was captivated by this. I’d not listened to Wilco beef, not sure I’ll be rushing back to listen to them again.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Apr 08 2024

Incredibly frantic and not really worth listening to twice.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 09 2024

Fantastic album. Enjoyed every single song.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 10 2024

A few good songs interspersed with a lot of mediocrity.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Apr 11 2024

I kept waiting in hope that I’d like one of the songs, I’m afraid that never happened. I’d never heard of these guys before and I think that’s for a very good reason.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Apr 12 2024

Probably not everyone’s cup of tea. However, I enjoyed it from start to finish Shane McGowan will be missed.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Apr 13 2024

Not a lot to not like about this album ZZ Top with their own unique style of blues and rock. Most enjoyable.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Apr 14 2024

Three wonderful artists in their own right. Very enjoyable album

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Apr 15 2024

Pioneers in the use of electronic keyboards. a lot of it sounded the same

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Apr 16 2024

I feel a smidgen depressed after listening to that. Still I think Leonard Cohen is rather brilliant.

Dummy by Portishead
Apr 17 2024

Really cool interesting sound, the vocalist has a wonderful voice. Some tracks really did sound like something out of a spy movie.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Apr 19 2024

Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler are superb such a unique sound can only come from them.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 20 2024

Yikes, some very enjoyable tracks, some of it becomes a little too much.

Vivid by Living Colour
Apr 21 2024

Went into this one a little bit blind. Gotta say I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the rocky funky beat.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Apr 22 2024

Exactly what you’d expect from Prince. Some great stuff, some that grates on my senses.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Apr 23 2024

Solid but not spectacular

Infected by The The
Apr 24 2024

Not one I’d be playing on repeat. Still not the worst I’ve heard.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Apr 26 2024

Didn’t really enjoy it. This went nowhere fast

Abbey Road by Beatles
Apr 27 2024

Typical Beatles

Face to Face by The Kinks
Apr 28 2024

All a bit light beer groovy.
