Enjoyed this, but can't explicitly say why. None of the songs particularly stuck out, but as a whole a pleasant listen.

King Crimson
4/5
Great album to start with. Something I would never have chosen to listen to and I really enjoyed it. Great to get away from the same old.
Louis Prima
4/5
Breathlessly joyful
The Doors
3/5
Definitely a classic, but sounding dated to me now.
Common
4/5
My kind of rap. A decent groove underpinning the record.
Pink Floyd

One of the great albums.
Tears For Fears

A couple of catchy enough songs, but otherwise cheesy 80s fluff.
Jimi Hendrix

Haven’t listened to this before. Won’t listen to it again. But glad I did this time. Just not for me.

Catchy folky pop. Not unpleasant.
5/5
Fantastic record. Childhood soundtrack and sounds so good still.
Brian Eno
4/5
I find ambient music endlessly fascinating, and this is so far head of its time. Works well as wallpaper music, but I recommend putting on a decent pair of cans and giving it a proper audition.
Jimi Hendrix

Pretenders

Didn't feel particularly excited by this one popping up, but I didn't realise Pretenders were this good. Space Invader my fave.

Are we sure he was clean when he wrote this?
John Prine
3/5
Oh goody, I thought. Twangy banal country BS to wade through. And (to be fair) a lot of the music is just that. But it made me realise that country music really allows the vocals prominence, and a lot of these ones are worth a listen. A few really bleak lines in there.

I don't even think this is possible to rate. I didn't really enjoy listening to it, but it isn't a 1 or 2 star. It's not a 4 or 5 either because I doubt I'll ever listen to it again. A 3 feels so vanilla, but here we are.
For once though, I really did need to hear this album.
The War On Drugs

The more ambient sounding stuff good. The Dylan-esque tracks shite.
Moby Grape

This is really good. Gutted it's not on Apple Music, otherwise I'd be coming back regularly.

This could be the most incredible instrumental music (it isn’t) and it would still be 1 star thanks to Dylan’s utterly execrable voice and singing.
