Woodface by Crowded House

Just an amazing album, weather with you, four seasons in one day and Fall at your feet are just phenomenal songs. Top 3 album for me

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Mar 27 2024

A good album from one of my favourite bands, it’s not as good as “meat is murder” or “the smiths” but it does contain my favourite smiths song of all time “there is a light that never goes out” so I’ve got a lot of time and love for it.

Woodface by Crowded House
Mar 28 2024

Just an amazing album, weather with you, four seasons in one day and Fall at your feet are just phenomenal songs. Top 3 album for me

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Apr 09 2024

It was nice, good change of pace. I really liked Marty Groves, but no better than a 2.5, but I’ll round up.

Aja by Steely Dan
Apr 19 2024

Deacon Blues is such a good song, I really enjoyed that

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Apr 27 2024

Overall this album which is very similar to Engelbert Humperdincks whole thing was fairly enjoyable. “Jackie” was the first and best song of the album and then they all did start to sound the same. Perhaps the novelty of a man yapping over an orchestra had dilapidated quite quickly?

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
May 21 2024

One of my favourites ever. It’s got some iconic ones: Brothers in arms, walk of life and money for nothing. But also some more blues/ swinging music in Your latest trick which I really like.

Green by R.E.M.
May 24 2024

Overall notes - Big fan of REM so knew this would be an easy listen before bed, there’s no obviously weak links and every song holds its own however “I remember California” was too repetitive and too long. “Stand” and “Orange Crush” became new favourites and are now on the playlist. Thoroughly enjoyed the album, hope more REM is on the list!

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Aug 08 2024

I know it’s meant to be alternative and experimental, but it wasn’t for me and didn’t end up finishing the album.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 12 2024

Opening song being “foxy lady” was my favourite added it was in THAT scene in Wayne’s World. However the rest of the songs started to sound the same, but some bright spots being “Fire” and “Purple Haze” as they were faster tempo and shorter than the others. Wasn’t a fan of “Are you experienced?” as the last few minutes it just sounded like a lot of unorganised noice which I know Hendrix is known for that but it is always for me.

Aug 13 2024

Hey Ya is fun, I really enjoyed some of the hip hop rap that Outkast isn’t normally known for. But it is two albums so it’s fairly long. Almost two hours I think

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Aug 14 2024

I really enjoyed 70s soul music so it makes sense that this is one my favourite albums ever. Every song is solid and is memorable on their own but “Let’s stay together” is just the full package and that’s why it’s my first 10/10 song. It’s just so good. Al Green is just talented in every sense of the word.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Sep 17 2024

It’s alright, it just keeps going and I’m bored. Some decent song transitions though.

1984 by Van Halen
Sep 19 2024

It’s a great album with some great songs, especially Jump and Panama (SORTED) IYKYK

Smile by Brian Wilson
Oct 03 2024

Obviously very similar to the beach boys so I did like it, but it got very repetitive after a while. However I did really like “Heroes and Villains” as it felt like five different songs in one, very interesting

Tommy by The Who
Oct 09 2024

WENT ON FOREVER

Heroes by David Bowie
Oct 10 2024

His voice is a bit boring and the instrumentals were a little long and boring.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Oct 11 2024

I really liked that, it was really calming and I enjoyed Carvo E Canela and San Vicente even though I didn’t understand of it!

Dookie by Green Day
Oct 15 2024

I’m personally calling out Joe, he’s wrong because this album is a rock masterclass. Basket Case is a top 10 1990s rock song

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Oct 18 2024

Sweet Child of Mine, Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City are just class

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Oct 21 2024

Psycho Killer was fun, but didn’t love it

The White Album by Beatles
Oct 22 2024

Overrated, there’s a few good songs but cmon. Really nothing special

Calenture by The Triffids
Oct 23 2024

A nice album from an early 2000s Aussie band. A trick of light being my favourite song.

Achtung Baby by U2
Oct 24 2024

Enjoyed it, I hadn’t really listened to much of U2 before but it was nice. Would love to listen to more of their stuff. The fly was probably my favourite song.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Oct 25 2024

A bit quirky, but it was fun. I really liked Buffalo Gals.

Doolittle by Pixies
Oct 28 2024

Really liked debaser and here comes your man

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Oct 29 2024

Such a good album, get it on is such a sick song, but Cosmic Dancer is also a banger.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Oct 31 2024

Fin De Siecle is one of my favourite albums of all time but this one is just too lovey dovey. We get it bro you like her. This is not an album for the chronically single. It’s a low rating for the album not the artist.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Nov 01 2024

Never listened to any of buffalo’s stuff before but for a group that wasn’t around long, really really enjoyable.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Nov 05 2024

Who doesn’t love the pretenders, it’s not their best album so I’ll rank it down but it’s still really good!

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Nov 06 2024

Super groovy and fun listening, abit long for the kind of music it was. But will definitely give some his other stuff a listen! Survival was my favourite song.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Nov 07 2024

Sounded like many British bands of that late 70s time, felt like the Siouxsie and the Bandhees, Talking Heads or even the Psychedelic Furs just produced new music. It wasn’t bad just not insanely original.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Nov 08 2024

I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would to be honest

War by U2
Nov 11 2024

It was ok, I’m not a massive fan of U2 trying to be political

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Nov 12 2024

Fun, it’s a genre I’ve never really heard before

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Nov 13 2024

I didn’t mind, sounded a bit like lift music

Da Capo by Love
Nov 14 2024

Pretty cool, very 60ish but it was very groovy

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Nov 15 2024

Actually really cool, I don’t normally like experimental stuff but this was awesome techno.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Nov 19 2024

Love Belinda Carlisle and Slidmarks on the heart is a class name for a song.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Nov 21 2024

So so weird, he just kept moaning

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Nov 25 2024

Really fun album, will listen to more of there stuff. 5/5

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Nov 28 2024

Actually really enjoyed it, it was a little bit different to the Led Zeppelin I usually listen to. Moby Dick had a really cool Congo solo in it.

Dec 02 2024

Just an amazing album and bohemian rhapsody is just sounds phenomenal on this recording.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Dec 10 2024

One of my favourite albums ever, every song is just so good, no clangers all bangers as my dad would say. 6 stars if I could.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jan 22 2025

Best album of all time, Folsom prison blues is just aura.
