Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs
Marty Robbins
Good album. I liked his voice and the stories but as I wouldn’t listen to it again it has to be a 2 from me.

The Yes Album
Yes
This is a very nostalgic album for me so I found it hard to listen to independently of my childhood memories of hearing my dad play prog rock. And why even try? I love the madness of prog rock, the musical themes and crazy long instrumentals. This is a pretty solid Yes album. Starship Trooper was a standout song to me.

The Wildest!
Louis Prima
This is definitely a fun album. I started out really enjoying this but it got a bit weary as time went on. 'Jump, Jive' is a classic and I could really picture having a lot of fun dancing around. I recognise a lot of these songs but I’m not sure how many were originals or covers.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Listened in the day and thought it was a fairly average album. Hard rock not so much my thing. Listened in the evening after red wine and did lots of air guitar to Free Bird and it lifted the whole album for me. Poison whiskey also a stand out song. Everything else was a bit meh.

Oct 15 2024
So
Peter Gabriel
He has a really lovely voice and I think the songs sound (to my untrained ear) proper good musically speaking. I like the catchy poppy tunes although I didn’t looove them. Sledgehammer is very fun. I think ‘don’t give up’ has been ruined for me by being used in charity adverts.

Highly Evolved
The Vines
I liked this. Improved by headphones. Enjoyed the grungy heavy songs. Also liked factory and Mary Jane? Probably wouldn’t listen again. The theme of this group for me is that I like songs that are the famous hits. Is that because they are better or I’m just a basic bitch?

Tubular Bells
Mike Oldfield
First five minutes at five star. The rest is too random for me. I didn’t hate the industrial clunking but the voice was freaky.

The Sensual World
Kate Bush
I listened to this album on the way to a women’s circle for a full moon ceremony and if those are not the perfect conditions to enjoy Kate Bush then I’m not sure what are. I love her voice but this album just didn’t do it for me. There was also some cringe eighties stuff going on.

No Other
Gene Clark
I’d never heard of gene Clark but I really liked this. Probably because I really like Neil Young. Silver Raven and no other were standout to me.

Tommy
The Who
I really like the who but judging this as an album it wasn’t for me. Wayyy too long. Tim said it’s a ‘rock opera’ which I Fournier a bit cringe. I wonder if other ‘musicals’ make the list

Can't Buy A Thrill
Steely Dan
I love Steely Dan. We had one tape in the car with Steely Dan (and Deacon Blue) and it’s cemented in my brain. Really love these songs and this album had some absolute hits. I think there are better SD albums but this really is a fun one. I was surprised that this was 72. Sounds later to me.

Oct 29 2024
Odelay
Beck
If you’d asked me ‘what style of music Beck is’ I’d have probably have said Indie. So I was quite surprised to listen to this album. Is it erm rap? I’m not quite sure what it is. I sort of appreciate that it’s quite different and complex. But still it wasn’t for me on the first listen. On the second listen I started to like it more from ‘the new pollution’. There are some definite classics. I started to think he sounded like the bloke from Fontaines DC (though obviously the other way round). And that made me like it a bit more. But yeah probably wouldn’t listen again.

Oct 30 2024
Trio
Dolly Parton
After starting to think Kate Bush was the only woman in music I so so wanted to like this album. The sound of their voices is undeniably beautiful but this type of music just aint for me. I think part of this is that I realise (after reading other reviews) I just don't listen to lyrics at all. So this type of storytelling is really lost on me. However Spotify did guide me to Linda Ronstadt’s other work and that was really great.

Rumours
Fleetwood Mac
One of the reasons for joining this club was to stop me only listening to Fleetwood Mac so it was always going to be five stars from me. I’ve tried really hard to listen with fresh ears and I’m struck by just how incredible they are as musicians. The percussion blends beautifully and there is often a lot technically going on. I do think it should start on the Chain. I’m not a huge fan of ‘don’t stop’ and I cannot get on board with calling your lover ‘daddy’. Gold dust woman and you make lovin are excellent songs.

Nov 01 2024
Eagles
Eagles
I was expecting to like this more but it really wasn’t for me. I liked some of the songs in a sort of ‘easy listening’ kind of way. My body had a physical response to ‘chug all night’ which was just bad. I think having just listened to fleetwood, the harmonies in these songs sounded cheesy rather than beautiful/heart wrenching. Black magic woman bumped it to a three.

Paul Simon
Paul Simon
Ohhh not another man from the seventies. Thankfully this was slightly different to the sounds we have had before. I was pleasantly surprised by the opening track and I liked Duncan. I was only familiar with ‘me and Julio’. Quite a jolly album, makes me regret giving Eagles 3. Not something I’d listen to again but perhaps the occasional song.

Nov 05 2024
My Aim Is True
Elvis Costello
I like Elvis Costello and I like his voice and style but it turns out not enough for a whole album. For me it didn’t flow that well. Alison and Watching the Detectives (the hits) stood out.

Nov 06 2024
Le Tigre
Le Tigre
This was a welcomed relief. I very much liked stomping round the park to this. Perhaps I wouldn’t have voted it so favourably if I hadn’t spent so long in a seventies male desert. This felt like a good antidote. I think they probably highlight what will be a theme of this club ‘genius! Misogynist’

Devotional Songs
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Be careful what you wish for. Am I glad I listened - yes. Am I glad that I listened to the whole first side, decided to give up and then got told that it was just the second side I needed to listen to - no. I so so want. I definitely preferred the second side (the actual album) But yeah I do not have the ear for telling the songs apart so it all sounded samey to me.

Gold
Ryan Adams
I think I am prejudiced against Ryan Adams based on a guy I use to know who loved him and wanted me to listen to this album. The kind of person that likes a 'manic pixie dreamgirl' kind of person. So I have always associated Ryan Adams with that type of person and resisted listening. Walked into another room when listening, came back and it sounded like exactly the same song was playing.

Either Or
Elliott Smith
I've listened to this album a lot because Tim loves it. I don't think it was great for a Monday morning, more a Sunday evening kind of vibe. I have enjoyed this album in the past but I felt like too many of the songs were similar to eachother. Elliott Smith makes me feel a bit sad. If I want to be listening to a great male song writer and feeling sad I'd go for Nick Drake.

Ace of Spades
Motörhead
When I was headbanging in the kitchen to 'ace of spades' I was properly into it and quite happy to give a 4. This is despite Tim pointing out the lyrics. I mean, if a singer shouts about 'jail bate' in the woods and I don't notice does it really happen? But in the cold light of day, I have a bit of a headache and the songs all did sound a bit samey. Still I enjoyed that first banger.

I am not confident in my musical knowledge but it sounds a bit velvet underground, beach boys perhaps a bit Ian Dury in the speaky bits. I enjoyed 'I got the hots for you' maybe the lyrics are a bit dated but whatever. Surprised to see that this is 1980, I'd of put it earlier.

Kind Of Blue
Miles Davis
I wish I knew more about music so that I could write something that articulates what I think is good about this album, but sadly I don't know much about music. So my poor ramblings really won't do it justice. I love this album, I don't think there is a setting that wouldn't be improved by listening to this. I struggle with more experimental jazz and find some forms of 'New York rom com' jazz a bit dull (let's not even talk about Buble jazz) but Miles Davis fits so well as a form that I think most people could access and enjoy but yet is experimental and exciting. It is perfection. I've probably listened 6 times today.

Surprised by how much I didn't particularly like this. I'd heard of the Pixies but if you asked me to sing one of their songs I'd struggle. I don't mind this sort of grungy bangy music but for me this album didn't get anywhere, it was just a lot of the same songs that aren't mixed great (I actually don't know if that's what it is but I have heard people say that and it feels appropriate). So really I was underwhelmed by this.

...And Justice For All
Metallica
I can't admit to really listening to the album and I actually felt stressed when I heard it was Metallica. I have listened to some Metallica via Tim over the years and it always makes me feel quite stressed. I like some of there 'softer' tunes and I can appreciate their skill. I would never listen to this album on my own but I quite enjoy it in the right setting - very specifically a Metal bar in Hackney. I think metalheads seem like friendly people and so two stars for skill and a nice subculture.

Mediocre at best which is disappointing. Clearly Beyonce (and previously Destiny's Child) love an 'intro' (I recommend the Writing's on The wall for a fake Godfather scene headed by Beyonce).

This was a 2 but then my son started dancing loads to it and it was lovely so it gets an extra one.

Songs From The Big Chair
Tears For Fears
I think that 'everybody wants to rule the world' is one of my favorite songs, I liked the other hits a lot - 'head over heels' and 'shout' , didn't love the others. still going to give it 4 for the tunes

The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
I think this album is amazing. The great Gig in the sky is a stand out. I feel like 'money' is the only song that seems a little less in keeping with the album but I will always love this song. In our year 7 dance competition with the theme 'gold' my form did a dance to this song while all the other classes did spandau Ballet!

Pet Sounds
The Beach Boys
Yeah, I think this is a great album. I think its a bit less upbeat than the other one we listened to which I like.
Can't listen to Beach Boys without thinking about Charles Manson which is unfair really.

I can get down with a bit of self-indulgent guitar shit like the next 70-year old but this is too long, and too much the same.

I will give it an extra point for 'breaking the law' because I sing that a lot and did not know it was Judas Priest.

Adele
Tim and I listened to this together and his scoffing at the song lyrics annoyed me so much that I made a 'Adele or Dylan' song lyrics quiz. Needless to say he did terribly.
I think she's definitely a victim of her own success. She has a beautiful voice but its hard to enjoy the songs without their overplayed nature being part of the experience. Still she's clearly more talented that so many people.

Harvest
Neil Young
It is dissapointing to me that this album 'harvest' doesn't include my favourite song by him 'harvest moon' which I think would make my desert Island list. But my love for this song doesn't necessarily translate to a love of his music generally. Saying that I love an outspoken person that says stuff about advertising and boycotts.

The Marshall Mathers LP

This felt very 2000s. The fictional conversations between the music company 'suit' felt cringe, and is that... what....? I had to skip that.
But in other senses I liked some of the 'hits'.
