Blood On The Tracks
Bob Dylan
Renowned to be a dark album when Bob Dylan was going through a divorce. Having said that, some great songs. Tangled up in Blue is a great opener. There is an emotional punch to each song and it is one of Bob Dylan's most accessible albums.Bob Dylan will always be a marmite artist, given his style but this album warrants a listen and may just change people's minds.

Röyksopp
To be honest this would not be a good to listen, but then I guess that this is what the app is all about. Quite chilled vibes for most of it and enjoyed having it as background to reading. Glad I discovered it through the app as it wouldn't have appeared on my radar at all.

Disintegration
The Cure
An interesting change back to the original sound of the Cure but with more polish. I was never a Goth in the day but had a soft spot for The Cure and I think this album explains why.

Harvest
Neil Young
Heart of Gold has to one of the greatest songs ever written. I have always loved Neil Young and Harvest is, rightfully so, considered as one of his greatest albums. I even stuck with him through his 80's use of the vocoder! Neil Young has always had a distinctive voice and many not like it but I think people cannot discount his wonderful songwriting talents.

Kind Of Blue
Miles Davis
As one of the previous reviewers said, this is an album for any occasion. I wonderful, laid back sound with a wonderful stereo mix that would equally at home as background music or music to be listened to carefully. I wonderful and accessible introduction to Miles Davis at his height

Sigur Rós
Have never heard this album before. Initially ( given that I have no Icelandic!) it reminded me of shades of the Cocteau Twins. With its ambient soundscapes. Really enjoyable listen. Will turn lyrics on next time!

Hounds Of Love
Kate Bush
The came out when I was at university and it was a must listen. Side 2 ( yes it was on vinyl!) was a revelation and I remember listening to the various soundscaoes that Kate Bush made. I still regularly listen to this album and the layers still surprise me. I love to sit back and put my noise canceling headphones and lose myself in this wonderful album

Peter Gabriel 3
Peter Gabriel
One of the first albums i bought! Peter Gabriel's Melt (3) is an amazing album. Backed by his buddies, including Phil Collins and Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel has created an album of so many moods. From the truly scary Intruder ( gotta love that whistle at the end) to the yearning of Family Snapshot and rounding off the album with the anthemic Biko, this album never fails
I still have the vinyl and listen to it regularly!

Headquarters
The Monkees
Well it's an interesting album. Its ok but I don't think it's representative of the time. It's a pleasant sound and I feel that they really are on a hiding to nothing with all the comparisons to The Beatles. I appreciate that may have been the idea when they were created but it seems unfair to try to compare them I think they are talented musicians and songwriters but to me it is a lightweight and somewhat forgettable album.

Music for the Masses
Depeche Mode
It's very much of It's time. The synth sounds and the electronic drums. It was an interesting listen but I was never a big fan and this hasn't really changed my mind.

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
Brian Eno
I remember listening to Brian Eno's ambient albums and this had a similar feel. It was slightly more accessible and the addition of David Byrne's influence was welcomed. An interesting, multilayer album for anyone willing to give it the time.

Great album! Right up my alley but one I've never listened to before. Not sure why Judas priest slipped through my listening arc. Will rectify that!

Quirky and with a sense of humour. I remember when this came out ...same sort of time as The Kooks.. a period where this music fit in really well. Not my favourite but enjoyed it!

One of my faves! From the anthemic Peaches en Regalia to Willie the Pimp with Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa shows he's a master of composition and orchestration! And a great guitarist to boot!
