One of the few Cassettes in my first car (Renault 5!) brings back memories of the summer of 88, fun album and very happy to have heard it again

Le Tigre by Le Tigre

not quite X-Ray Spex but pretty good

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jan 27 2025

Blissful

Document by R.E.M.
Jan 28 2025

Sixth Form in a nutshell! I had forgotten how much this was a soundtrack of that time for me, fantastic album, much better than the later ones

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jan 29 2025

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jan 30 2025

Not sure I like this as much as I used to

Illmatic by Nas
Feb 02 2025

Wow, never listened to this before and didn't know I liked this genre! great album a new favorite

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Feb 03 2025

I adore Kate Bush. Watching her on TOP as an impressionable 8-year-old, wide eyed and feeling so much, I return over and over again to her. The Kick Inside debut at 18 years old though, Wow, Wow, WOW as she says

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Feb 05 2025

Not sure, all very recognizable but a bit blah, feel like I have heard every one of these on an advert over the years, still good in parts

Feb 06 2025

Oh Blimey, blast from the past, not that keen to be honest, it is what it is, wasn't keen back in my teens either

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Feb 07 2025

it's alright, a bit samey samey, better metal albums out there if that's what you like, I can take it or leave it

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Feb 08 2025

Hard no from me, horrible little man with or without the mental health issues I am sure he is a good musician but needs help and as all narcissists and bullies, just ignore him, hopefully he will go away

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Feb 11 2025
Horses by Patti Smith
Feb 13 2025

Glorious

Feb 15 2025

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Feb 17 2025

Never heard of this one, and absolutely love it

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Feb 18 2025

I quite like Journy Man, but the whole album is too much of the same and boring

Tical by Method Man
Feb 20 2025
Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Feb 28 2025

Love this great album, just exactly what you need to listen to

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 04 2025

I am not and have never been a teenage boy, it is the sort of thing my now 12-year-old will inflict on me shortly, joy! having said that is ok to do the very boring bookkeeping to

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Mar 13 2025

quite a bit blah, easy to have on as background music

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 15 2025

back in the sixth form again, this album follows me around, never far away - it does go on a bit but still epic and love it

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 18 2025

this was a great surprise

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 21 2025

blah

Sister by Sonic Youth
Mar 27 2025

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Apr 16 2025

not quite X-Ray Spex but pretty good

Apr 24 2025

I thought I liked John Lennon, maybe I just don't get all that navel gazing anymore now I am too busy with life, but this album was horrible and i had to stop before the end

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 26 2025

fucking love a bit of Creedence

Low by David Bowie
Apr 29 2025
Paranoid by Black Sabbath

Iron Man, top Song, Avenger and Kids' book

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
May 07 2025

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
May 09 2025
Transformer by Lou Reed
Jun 10 2025

What an album, all of the tunes are short sweet and just a little weird, what more do you want, timeless listening, not many you just keep coming back too but this is one

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jun 14 2025
Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jun 21 2025

Reading the reviews made me laugh, As a 17-year-old stuck at a crumbling boarding school it the middle of the English countryside, I can assure you this album saved our sanity that summer! and will always take me back to green fields, cheap cider and illicit smoking. Not sure we cared less about the credibility or the type of rock, music really should just give you a vibe, this does in bucket loads.
