Franz Ferdinand

2/5

Nostalgia doing most of the heavy lifting here. Mostly just repetitive noise with an affected voice. Some bops though. Take Me Out will never not get me to a dancefloor.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Funky Shit - new to me but liked this one . Some of the transitions are so good. Narayan > Firestarter Enjoyed. Will listen again.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

- Behind the Wall broke me. - Had no idea she wrote Baby Can I Hold you - much better version. - Fast Car not the best song on the album (in my opinion)

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

2/5

Musically really interesting - feels distinctly 80s despite using (I think) real instruments, so must have been quite influential at the time. Not really to my taste but can appreciate it's impressive. Once in a Lifetime clearly the stand out song.

Queen II

Queen

5/5

Actually thought it got better as it got going. Loved Ogre Battle. Seven Seas of Rye remains an absolute belter.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

2/5

Excited by the first few songs then realised they were all the same. You can see how some modern songs have drawn inspiration from this kind of music which was interesting.

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

3/5

Talks about being in love a lot. Quite like Rags to Riches This grew on me 3 or 4 I think

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

2/5

Liked that it was something different. Liked that it's a different language but didn't really hold my attention.

The Cars

4/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan
