Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 06 2025

I didn't realise I had several of their tracks in my fave songs! I’m not a music expert, but Sound of Silver is one of those albums that just hits differently. It has songs that make you want to dance, think, or sometimes both at the same time. "All My Friends" feels like the soundtrack to every bittersweet moments you get in life, while "Someone Great" is surprisingly, for me, quite emotional. There’s also a lot of fun energy, like in "North American Scum," which is done with the tongue firmly in the cheek and doesn’t take itself too seriously. The whole album still feels smart and cool for it's 17 years, and even if you’re not into electronic 'old' music, you might find yourself loving it anyway, I did.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jan 07 2025

I remember growing up in the 70's listening to Elvis, Mowtown and even a bit of Shirley Bassey, so this album wasn't alien to me and has songs I know. However, some songs feel repetitive, and the production, though great for its time, sounds dated. Despite this, the album remains a great early soul music treat.

Guero by Beck
Jan 08 2025

Beck's Guero is a really fun and interesting album that feels like a mix of a bunch of different styles. It’s got catchy songs like “E-Pro” that make you want to move, and others like “Girl” that are chill but still stick in your head. The whole album has this cool, laid-back vibe, even when it gets a little weird or experimental. If you like music that’s hard to pin down but still easy to enjoy, this is definitely worth checking out!

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 09 2025

Some great iconic hits, but the heavy reliance on synthesizers and drum machines dilutes the raw, bluesy energy of their earlier work. It feels more like a shift toward commercial appeal than a genuine evolution of their sound.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jan 13 2025

Sorry if I offend anyone but I am not a fan of Mr Bowie. This has some good tracks, notably 'Golden Years' but I struggle to connect with him. Strange

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jan 14 2025

Too weird. I can't connect to Bowie's sound. Sorry.

Jan 17 2025

This is a classic that mixes hip-hop, R&B, and soul that is full of toe tappers. Released way back in 1998, it’s all about love, heartbreak, finding yourself, and speaking your truth. Songs "Doo Wop (That Thing)" is super catchy, "Ex-Factor" is full of raw emotion and "To Zion" is a beautiful song about her love for her child. The music still feels fresh after all these years and is one of the best time tested albums ever and a must-listen for anyone who loves music that hits deep.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Jan 22 2025

Country Life by Roxy Music is a bit different to their more recent albums but still a great blend of glam rock and art rock, showing the band's sophisticated sound and Bryan Ferry's charismatic, crooning vocals. The album is bold, atmospheric, and richly textured, with best tracks like "The Thrill of It All" and "Out of the Blue." A must-listen for fans Mr Ferry and the gangs recent stuff, and where it all started.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jan 24 2025

Great album. Early Stones stuff is the best.
