She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

Like it a lot, reminds me of tango in the night slightly but with its own uniqueness, obviously has some classics, big fan of the last song with the audio in the background. Solid electric guitar and synths throughout. Give it a 7.5/10

Like it a lot, hints of daft punk, Radiohead and such. Vocals aren’t quite to my liking but the instrumentals are fun and keep you listening.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

The album is a very enjoyable with some very upbeat, major tones. However, it is very apparent the technology in music was lacking at the time therefore not hugely impressing me. Would recommend to others who want an easy listen. Big fan of the use of the organ

Jimi Hendrix

Quite repetitive, not much of a story to the songs, like the live effect don’t think I would revisit some songs did tickle my fancy

Not a big fan of electrical music, haven’t finished the album but can’t say they will make it to the playlist

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

3/5

Trying to look past the shear length is difficult, sounds like Bob Dylan at points, eastern accent is very obvious which I like, gives a uniqueness to the voice although not a fan of the production - to airy and dry.

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Initially wasn’t a fan, but as I listened and got more in tune with his sound I thought it was quite nice. Bit too slow for my liking but love the themes.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

2/5

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

Incredible besides that one song. What is going on there

Truth

Jeff Beck

3/5

I like the Blues that follows the whole record. Greensleeves was my grade 2 piano piece so revisiting that was very nostalgic for me. No real bad things to say other than noticeable production issues but that’s to be expected

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

Heard it when I was younger, dad’s a big fan. Can never really get past the 5th song when I listened to it

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

4/5

Like it, very good gateway for me quick and electronic music. Like the slight jungle, house and dnb tones.

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

3/5

Happy beach music, obvious theme. The song with the kid singing was unlistenable but good progression and vibe overall

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

2/5

Nothing to note, can’t say there are any rememberable songs. Seemed ahead of their time for the decade. One song sounded like a hoover was on in the back, not sure how u felt about it.

Elvis Presley

3/5

His voice sounds quite different early on in his career, almost sounds like someone else. Not his best work by any means but good nonetheless. Not my go to genre can’t say much about the development at all, just seems very blues as jazzy

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Homework

Daft Punk

4/5

Really good. Love the electronic aspects. Can see so many songs take inspiration from 2 men trying something different. Nearly every song is a banger and all follow a trend to keep it as an album.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

3/5

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

4/5

Really like it, one of my favourites so far, big fan of the live performance aspect, slightly long but the guitar solos are incredible and his voice is crisp

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

4/5

I like how the album is a depiction of a day and night cycle, picking up slowly then running jt back down to a more mellow slow vibe for the night. Good sound, some catchy and remembers me tunes.

Seems like a gospel album, loved the choir acts in the background. Was more of an album where he singled out certain components especially his voice and piano with the piano being involved throughout the album

Never listened to something like this before, love the instruments used, each song has its own skeleton and you can tell they’re different which I find hard in songs in other languages personally. I wouldn’t listen to this as a daily but something cool to come back to at certain events.
