Different Class

Pulp

2/5

Took me back up Uni days. Fun for a couple of songs then really monotonous.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

1/5

Not my thing at all. This is an album that can’t decide what it is. Confusing amount of styles and influences that never really came together .

Tommy

The Who

4/5

Great to hear this again but really needs the wonderfully weird film to fully appreciate it as all the component parts can be disjointed if you don’t know the story.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

Loved it then and love it now. Great storytelling with young woman angst in every note……had me singing/yelling along at 52!!!

Risque

CHIC

1/5

Repetitive, repetitive, repetitive.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

2/5

Thought I’d like this more but only Tiny Dancer floated by boat. All the rest was a little dull.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

How can something be so beautiful and so sad? History and poetry all in one. Love it.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

1/5

My high hopes were dashed by this….

American Gothic

David Ackles

5/5

Had no idea what to do expect. Possibly the weirdest thing I’ve heard in a while and I loved it!!!

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

2/5

Oldie but goodish. Hate to say this but Harmonies can get a bit bland after 3 songs.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

3/5

Read a bio before listening so had a few misconceptions. Happily all smashed as found myself really enjoying the random unexpected moments of this.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

Am partial to a bit of southern country and rock so this ticked lots of nostalgic vibe boxes for me

A Night At The Opera

Queen

Classic

Rattus Norvegicus

Angry young man music. Not for me.

Viva Hate

Morrissey

1/5

Went into this with an open mind and can confirm I didn’t dislike it as much as I thought I would. If you took away his dreadful monotonous drone it might actually be ok.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

2/5

Strange. More like a collection of the individuals solo efforts than one Fleetwood Mac album. If you want to work out if you prefer Buckingham, McVie or Nicks, this will help you decide.

A Northern Soul

The Verve

1/5

Vulnicura

Björk

4/5

Beautiful, hypnotic. Loved it.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

Nice and I remember it being exciting to see and hear global musicians and sounds when it was released. All these years later, it’s just nice nothing remarkable.

Pornography

The Cure

1/5

Dire

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

2/5

Appreciate I may not get the cultural elements but for me this is pleasant background music.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

2/5

Thought I’d like it more
