The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

If it’s nice play it twice. Have never listened end to end, I think that is the best way to enjoy it.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

Folk music isn’t totally my jam, but I would happily listen to this once a quarter. Easy listening, cred to Stardust and Blue Skies- bangers

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

No stand out tracks from this one, but generally, a very nice listen. Seemed more like story telling.. I’ll listen again to confirm. If there was a option for 3.5, I would give that

Pretenders

4/5

According to my uncle, this is what “new wave” is. Love the genre, and love Chrissie Hynde.. great album

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

I had never heard of Cream but I really liked this album - I think I’m probably being a stinge with my 5 stars, but this was pretty close

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

I like Bruce Springsteen, but not the best of his discography - expecting more from the next one

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

The Smiths get old fast, but the first listen back in a few months was quite enjoyable. Won’t be in rotation though

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

1/5

Maybe not in the mood for this one today, skipped several songs.. Grace is onto something with this blokes voice

Rubber Soul

Beatles

3/5

Beatles are great a little at a time.. and yes they are one of the greatest of all time- but too whimsical for me. This is the first album I believe is not better listened to end to end. 3 stars because independently most of the songs are good

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

1/5

This album enraged several people in the flat. Don’t think we made it to the end. Not a great genre imho.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Groovy.. liked the album

Is This It

The strokes are just cool

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

I refuse to listen to a Christmas album.

The Slider

T. Rex

3/5
