Is This It

The Strokes · 1 likes

3/5

I bought this when first released but other than the singles from it & a couple of the album tracks, it never wowed me. I enjoyed revisiting it but it still leaves the same impression.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

5/5

I already had this album downloaded but had never listened to it in its entirety & in the order of tracklisting. I loved listening to it how it was meant to be. I need to do this more often. Brilliant album!

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Not my favourite Led Zeppelin album (IV) but it’s definitely second.

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

I find all their music sounds the same. This album has never wowed me.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

This isn’t my kind of thing but I can appreciate her voice & the music. It took me to a small bar in a city, sipping whisky in a smokey atmosphere in a time I wasn’t born in.

Elvis Presley

4/5

Elvis is who my mum played in the kitchen when I was younger. I enjoy his more uptempo songs but I wouldn’t choose to listen to him. However, I can very much appreciate that the bands I love & grew up listening to, were influenced by Elvis. Such as The Clash & their homage to him with the London Calling album cover. So although he’s not a preference of mine, I understand his importance. And I did enjoy the majority of the tracks on this album.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

I already have this album. It’s fantastic. I love it. I always find no matter what the subject is, his songs are uplifting. I love his voice. Plus, he cameos in one of my all time favourite films. Legend.

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

5/5

I’d forgotten about The Zutons. I knew the singles from this album but had never listened to this. I’m surprised - I really enjoyed it! They’re a band whose songs I’ve enjoyed on the radio but I’ve never investigated further. Downloaded this one!

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

When I’m in the right mood & environment, I know I’d enjoy this. But I couldn’t listen to this every day. And it would never be a choice to play it. Their music for me has a time & a place. That time is at home in the evening. With narcotics.

The Stone Roses

5/5

This is a favourite of mine but it was good to listen to it. It’s been a while.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

2/5

She’s got a great voice but this isn’t for me - or perhaps today I just wasn’t in the mood for it?

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

4/5

I was already familiar with Gritty Shaker. I’m not sure if I’d listen to this again but I did enjoy it. I downloaded it anyway. Its atmospheric. Perhaps in the right situation I’d revisit it?

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Already familiar with a few of the tracks on this album. It was good to listen to it in its entirety. Rush always remind me of The Limelight & 2112 rock clubs in Crewe where I hung out sometimes in my youth, so this was a bit nostalgic to hear.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

2/5

Way too airy & twee for my liking. I get it - they were the first all female band to have success who played their own instruments & write their own songs. But where’s the bite? It’s still just bland, easy listening. Nothing special.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

Already have this album. How can you not love it?

Tapestry

Carole King

5/5

So many familiar classics which have been covered by bands I love, so I was able to sing along. Absolutely beautiful.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

4/5

Very much enjoyed it! I do love old skool hiphop & intelligent rap.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Enjoyed the songs I already knew but got a bit bored by some of the rest.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

5/5

Smiled when this popped up. I cherish this record. Not my favourite Cure album but I’m sure that’ll be in here too. And it was a delight to hear this again

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

I’ve never knowingly listened to Dusty Springfield but I do know the majority of these songs & enjoy them when I hear them but they’re not something I’d willingly to choose to listen to. They absolute classics though. No denying that.

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

I bought this when first released but other than the singles from it & a couple of the album tracks, it never wowed me. I enjoyed revisiting it but it still leaves the same impression.

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

3/5

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

1/5

I just can’t do jazz. No matter how talented the musician.

Rocks

Aerosmith

3/5

I don’t mind Aerosmith but I wasn’t in the right frame of mind for it unfortunately

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

3/5

Beautiful voice but not my thing

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

2/5

While I can appreciate why people would enjoy this & it’s considered a triumphant effort, it’s not my kind of thing at all.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

3/5

Familiar stuff but it’s not for me. Or perhaps I just wasn’t in the mood

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

I don’t often listen to soul or Rn’B but I always have time for Marvin Gaye. Fantastic songs & voice

Clandestino

Manu Chao

3/5

As I listened to this the sun was shining through my window & this record was perfect for my mood today & uplifted me while working. Very much enjoyed it & it’s not something I’d choose to listen to ordinarily.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

While I understand why it’s considered so highly, it’s far too prog for my ears. It’s not doing anything for me. I do like the artwork though so 3 stars.

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

I don’t think it’s anything spectacular but I did enjoy it. I was already familiar with some of the tracks

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

4/5

Big fan of the gravelly voiced singers & Tom Waits is the king of them.
