Guided By Voices
1/5
Their eighth album. Rock / Indie. The production is awful, the vocals are terrible, the musicianship is bad and on and on. This sounds like a shitty demo tape by some drunk kids in a garage.

Jefferson Airplane
4/5
Their second album. Psychedelic Rock. Peak Flower Power / Counter Culture music. Grace Slick has a great voice. Somebody To Love is a classic track! The tracks with Grace Slick on lead vocals are the better and more powerful ones. This is pure San Francisco, Haight / Ashbury Hippy Stuff and I'm all for it. Some of the tracks are 'Groovy Baby, Yeah!' Ha! Some lovely harmonies. White Rabbit - this track is a mushroom infused Alice in Wonderland trip.

Janis Joplin
5/5
Her second album. Rock. Wow ! What an opening track ! Move Over, the vocals and that lead guitar, and then we get Cry Baby ! Some start to an album. Her authenticity and passion leaps out at you in every song. Janis is shooting for the stars on this one and gave us a performance that could fill the universe. I'm approaching three hundred albums off this list and this is as good as anything I've heard. Fantastic !

Pet Shop Boys
2/5
Their fifth album. Pop / New Wave / Electronica. As always I like Neil Tennant's vocals. The album is also well produced. It misses the zing and urban feel of their previous albums though. The album feels very safe with no stand out banger. I hope some of their earlier albums are on the list as they are far better.

The Rolling Stones
3/5
Their eighth British album / Tenth in the USA. Rock. Gimme Shelter is an absolute cracker of an opening track. You Can't Always Get What You Want is a great closing track. Sandwiched in between are a bunch of songs where a bloke from Dartford, Kent tries to convince us he's from Kentucky or something. It meanders a bit really. An extra point because of two brilliant songs.
