Warm and a bit wobbly - lovely tone. Guitar solos? Drum solos?

You wouldn't steal a car.....

Varied

Like being in a montage of an 80s film. Very much the same all the way through - driving beat

It was calm and peaceful, like a pleasant wallpaper. I enjoyed it but it quickly faded into the background

Familiar sounds, I enjoyed the warmth. The sort of noises I like to make.

Enjoyed it - I like the energy and fun. World music delivers something different and its a bit nostalgic for me too which is good.

Better than i thought - good energy. Newer stuff sounds tired and formulaic but this was quite fresh

Actually not bad, in some ways its got a folky vibe, pretty guitar riffs alongside driving rhythms. I didn't mind it!

Never heard of these guys before, slightly odd but fun. I can imagine the room they are recording in - low brown sofas with questionable stains and smoke from an unknown leaf hanging thickly in the air. Hang on a minute, they released an album of a mass. What is this?

OK, didnt really catch my attention and was quite samey

Quite enjoyed it - crisp but warm tone

It was ok, Deliriou5?

Actually not bad. I always think of Billy Crystal when I hear is name.

Not something I'd have picked up to listen to ever. I quite enjoyed the tone of the recording and the storytelling in the lyrics

It was ok, but quite a hard listen. Maybe not ideal on a sunny morning - would be great in a pub in ireland somewhere..

I'm sure some of these are demo tunes from a Casio keyboard... Fine, a bit Dad rock, maybe alan partridge but perhaps thats just because i'm biased by the name...

It's Ray Charles!

Meh, Zepelliney

Steve Lamacqy, quite a lot on 6 music. I guess I can hear some influencing of later music but overall I wasn't a huge fan

Enjoyed it, some familiar things but they seemed to fit together well in the context of the other songs - i guess thats an album!

I enjoyed this, I've never heard of them before and it was really good

Really liked this, can tell it's a new york type band but that didn't put me off too much!

Another Hendrix - started weird but got into the groove.

Not listened to full Bowie - wasn't concentrating very well on it but it was pretty good

A bit battle of the bands

90s fun

I couldn't do it..

I can't really remember it so it can't have been that good...

Love this! Its like being in the room with them having a great laugh.

Fun, like being in a 60s spy film

Its a classic, hard to listen to with fresh ears. I love the warm tone

90s, fun. I could hear the sounds of Delirious and other such things

Enjoyed it but it was quite wallpapery - background music

Not a big fan, bit dad rock

Love this, fun, energetic, nostalgic. Normally not one for upbeat but I enjoyed this a lot

This was pretty long! High quality musicianship and top level songwriting.

An interesting listen - what Jack Black would like to have been

Tried, failed. Couldn't listen to it

Listening to a bunch of these back to back really changes how they sound. Enjoyable! I guess it helps that it was next to Notorious BIG...

This is amazing, symphonic, epic. Brilliant

Slow grower - i enjoyed the latin american elements being integrated into the music

I listened to this a lot and i enjoyed how familiar it is and also that it has stayed valid (is that the word?) certainly it feels timeless

Meh. Loud.

She has things to say, i enjoyed the connection with the music - felt produced but still real

I'd need to listen again to understand what this is...

It was quite dense

Not really my thing but I enjoyed it - like a pub knees up

I enjoy this kind of thing but there wasn't a lot of dynamic to it, more or less the same all the way through

Actually rather interesting, not as heavy as i remembered the songs to be

Some of these songs are so familiar now, it's good to hear them in a more original form.

It grew on me once I got used to the 80s production

Funky, souly, enjoyable.

It was fine, it seemed revolutionary at the time but maybe it was so succesful that now it seems a bit meh. Enjoyed it for the nostalgia trip mainly

Straight away I'm watching a science show from the 80s

Not my usual fare but I enjoyed it - feels like there are real deep thoughts and messages in it. Also amused by the bit in "Alright" that sounds like a weird geordie accent

I wasn't sure what this was - a bit Springsteen maybe but not as tired? I quite enjoyed it

Weird.. didn't dislike it as such, just maybe not one I'll listen to much

yeah, fine. was confused by his voice

Wasn't expecting all the covers!

Loads i recognised. Not my favourite but very accomplished in its way

Noisy

Tiring. I listened to the bbc documentary about him, made me appreciate it a bit more but still feels hard work - saxaphone solos like christmas songs

I enjoyed the energy - imagin they were great to see live

Its all familiar and maybe feels like its been copied so much that it's generic but i did enjoy it. Didn't get all the wya through because it is vv long!

Nostalgic, some good tunes. Email my heart…..

Familiar but i can't remember anything about it...

Fine

Music was good but was painful to listen to!

The doors?

Never really listened to suede, assumed it was 80s but mid nineties feels weird!
