Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Very enjoyable. Favs: - The Boxer - So Long Frank Lloyd Wright - El Condor Pasa Least fav: - Keep the customer satisfied - I don't like the big band arrangement. I prefer other Simon and Garfunkel albums. I've heard the title track too many times. It was probably really something on first listen. But I now find it a bit irritating and overwrought.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

This just leaves me cold. I just don't like it. - Nineteen hundred and eighty five - is tolerable. Nice guitar solo.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

Solid classic

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Flabby classic. Shouldn't have beena double album.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

2/5

One amazing song. The rest is meh!

Parklife

Blur

4/5

A sardonic masterpiece. A much more interesting riff on the Beatles than Oasis could manage. I was very pleasantly surprised re-listening to this album. In my mind I have been more of a Graham Coxon fan than a Blur fan. But this album is an amazing band effort. 👌

Smash

The Offspring

Stand out tracks: - Blue Orchid - My Doorbell - As ugly as I seem Score: 8/10

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

If MAGA was referring to the period when Pavement strode the Earth it might be something I could get behind. Sadly that's not the case. America is fucked. But at the very least they gave us Pavement for a bit. Good album. Stand out tracks: - Cut your hair - Range life - 5-4=unity

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

2/5

I like the songs. I like the guitar playing. It's the constant vibrato in his voice I find insufferable. Mark Bolan did it better. It comes across as quite arch and pretentious. "Insect eyes" probably my favourite.
