The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden

Super exciting to listen from start to finish! Part of the excellent albums Iron Maiden released in the 80s. Heavy metal isn't the same without the 3 fantastic singles on this album.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Jan 08 2025

Reminiscent of gastronomic adventures in colourful taquerias in Southern California; relaxing, heady post-tequila feelings; sweet, enchanting smiles of pretty, olive-skinned Mexican women.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jan 10 2025

Simple yet poetic lyrics carried by Cash's baritone voice makes a real treat for the inmates at San Quentin Prison. The crowd's cheers shows life in the hearts of the imprisoned, a small reprieve from the terrible life in prison.

Cash's voice still has that pull despite the old age. Well-produced, and has some of his many well-known songs. Songs that you could sit on a lonely day and listen.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden

Super exciting to listen from start to finish! Part of the excellent albums Iron Maiden released in the 80s. Heavy metal isn't the same without the 3 fantastic singles on this album.

The White Album by Beatles
Jan 14 2025

The sheer number of songs on this album makes it a long listen, but most Beatles songs are under the 3 minute mark. The album is a bit of a hodge podge thematically. They should've given George and Ringo more writing opportunities, some of the best songs on this album were written by them, and some of the worst by Lennon-McCartney (apart from the most famous singles). The stories about the making of this album is fantastic, stories about Rishikesh and the eventual dissolution of the band. All in all, a very good album.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 18 2025

Too experimental for me. Although he's one of the greatest guitarists, I expected more vocals and fully produced music.

London Calling by The Clash
Jan 31 2025

Classic punk rock album, classic punk rock frontman voice! With all the modern fight/protest music that's usually characterized by angst and anger, it's easy to forget that rebellious music could also be catchy and nice to listen to. You feel the urge to fight the power and also nod your head along and smile while doing it!

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 02 2025

A tepid first album, far from the bangers they've had later on. It has its moments and starts off well, but becomes bland by the end.
