R.E.M.
Listened while working so a load of the lyrics went right past me, I would concentrate harder on this with a relisten. But in terms of the music composition this is a great album. Two all timer REM tracks on it as well (It's The End Of The World As We Know It and The One I Love).

Urban Hymns
The Verve
Great album, love the soundscapes and some of the lyrics are brilliant. Bittersweet Symphony is obviously an all timer but I'm not sure there's a bad song on here

Stand!
Sly & The Family Stone
Good album, I imagine at the time some of this would have been pretty groundbreaking. Hard to ding it for anything but not sure how often I'll be coming back

I'm sure this is really well crafted and she's got a wonderful voice but it's just not for me, Clive

Starting to hear bits of what they would become, too many of them are a bit bland by the standard of The Beatles. I always forget how good their voices actually are!

Never really tried George before but really enjoyed this. Read about how controversial it was at the time; nowadays it seems so tame. Very 80s production coded too
