I love this album. Apart from brainstorm interlude and drive you home, which I tend to skip each song has something which always makes me want to listen again.

Checkout the acoustic version of On Your Own. Brilliant version which is good to play along to.

Enjoyed this album at the time, but haven't listened to it for years.

Taylor Swift is a huge artist, but I honestly think it shows the state of the music industry these days that she is so huge. If she was around in the 80s she (and this album) would be fairly run of the mill.

One of my favourite albums of all time. Opening 3 tracks are outstanding, a slight lull with Why Go, but then side 1 closes with 2 incredibly powerful songs in Black and Jeremy.

Overall as an album it's not brilliant as there are a few fillers, but there are also some great songs on there.
Baba O'Riley is a brilliant opener (and amazing live), Bargain is pretty good but for me the quality drops significantly until we get to Behind Blue Eyes and then the epic Won't Get Fooled Again which is one of the greatest songs of all time.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)
Bob Dylan
Really can't stand Dylan's vocal. I'd rather listen to The Byrds singing his songs and Milltown Brothers do a great version of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"
Disc 2 with the band is a hell of a lot better though so an extra star for that.

Oct 12 2024
Heaven Or Las Vegas
Cocteau Twins
This is the only album of theirs I can really listen to due to Liz Frasers weird vocals on all the earlier stuff. She's a bit more normal sounding on this one where you can almost make out what she's singing π€£
I love dreampop and shoegaze but, brilliant as it is, I'm not sure I'd recommend this as an entry into the genre. Better starting with bands like Ride, Slowdive, Lush (specifically Spooky as it was produced by Robin Guthrie) and then revisiting this to appreciate it more.

An absolute classic from one of the greatest bands of all time, which still sounds amazing over 35 years later. The fact that a lot of these songs still appear on their live set lists just shows how great they are (and they sound even better live).
