People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

All Ratings

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

A classic album that cross genre, something there for all listeners without a need to compromise. Hard rock, funk, classic rock, rap, and all the others. Play it loud or soft works in both modes.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Great album, although some people have told me it feels depressing.

Is This It

The Strokes

2/5

I’m not one song recognised. Not really an album I personally would rush back to but maybe one that needs a little more time on rotation for me to enjoy.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

1/5

Didn’t really enjoy this album.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Didn’t really enjoy this album.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

A couple of great tracks. Not really an album I would have looked for. Glad I’ve sampled and would Likely be a repeat for me.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

5/5

A bag of known tracks with some great deep cuts.

No Other

5/5

Love the rain be of Paul’s voice. Simply one if a kind.

3/5

Something a little different to my normal listen. Good to get some variety.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

5/5

Great abum

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

2/5

Not something I would normally listen to. Not sure how this is a 1001 album personally.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

1/5

I find this kind of music very confronting and really didn’t enjoy. Fist of the selections I only listened through only once.

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

3/5

Van Halen

5/5

Has to be one of my all time favourite albums. You really got me was my first intro to VH and a long standing like. Some magic RIFS in this album, especially Talking About Love.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

1/5

Not something that I listen to. Can understand how people might find this appealing. But not for me.

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

3/5

MC5 live not great. Just a noisy mess for me.

Kanye West

1/5

Sensational. A magical classic from one of my all time favourite bands. Love it

Boston

5/5

Amazing album, a true classic. Not one track you’d skip. Must listen and enjoy.

1989

Taylor Swift

4/5

Poppy and fresh. Fun album and totally see why she is so popular. A change up album from my normal go to and happily listened to it.

Metallica

5/5

As a metal head when this was released, found it a little too main stream at the time. Now with a little age and a greater appreciation of the finer things in life can honestly say this album is brilliant. It’s still heavy enough to offer yet rocky enough to encourage others into the metal fold.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

5/5

Not really listened to The Smiths before. Something I’ll be exploring some more. Relaxed.
