Enjoyed jazzy trumpet music. Add some to jazzy dinner tunes playlist? A little backgroundy

I love this album. I remember listening to Sweet Gene Vincent when I was a kid and my dad used to blast it on our old record player. When I was a teenager I went looking for the rest of the album and was amply rewarded. Ian Dury’s cheeky, witty, poetic Cockney lyricism is the perfect counterpoint to the thudding drums and funky instruments to make something that never really has been topped in its own little niche. I mean, who can hate an album with the confidence to open with Wake Up and Make Love With Me?! “What happens next is private…it’s also very rude.” Perfect.

Did not enjoy

Actually enjoyed parts of this much more than I thought I would although found myself getting quite bored with it by the end

Oh come on, who doesn’t love this album?! It’s a classic for a reason.

Iconic punk, all swagger and blood up the walls

This was the first album on this list that I’ve just…never heard of. Never heard of the band, never heard of the album. I’m going in blind…. …and you know what? This is great. I originally thought this was an album from the 90s, then when I looked it up after listening I found it was from the 70s and let’s just say you can see the influences these guys must have had on many other bands. It’s kind of a bit country by way of the M62, a bit punk, a bit rock and roll. It’s in and out in under 40 minutes, so doesn’t overstay its welcome. Adding to regular rotation.
