Talking Heads
Whilst not my favourite talking heads album, this is still a classic in my opinion. You can tell David Byrne is at the start of his music journey and discovering the character he will soon become. Fun listen today whilst driving in the sun, thanks for the recommendation

The Joshua Tree
U2
An album so good I have it on vinyl. Was glad this popped up as I haven’t listened to it in a few years. Whilst the first side of the album is probably one of the greatest of all time, it’s those more unappreciated tunes at the end that really make this album something special

All Things Must Pass
George Harrison
Let’s give George Harrison his flowers. This is the best solo album that came after the Beatles broke up in my opinion, and the 2nd album in a row you have given me that I own on vinyl. The album really gives us an idea of what the Beatles would have sounded like if they decided to let George take control of an album. What an amazing album that would have been!

Songs Of Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen
3rd album in a row I own on record, always a pleasure spinning this one. Actually one of my favourites of all time. Leonard Cohen’s poetry is immaculate in this and it will always stand the test of time. What an amazing man.

Never been that into supergrass or listened to their back catalogue, after hearing this I can tell why. It’s not really for me. I do understand why this album is here!

A Little Deeper
Ms. Dynamite
This is the first time I’ve ever even heard of Ms Dynamite, and I was impressed. She’s really got a nice voice, and this being her debut album she came through with a lot of stories about life before fame. Solid project, reminded me a lot of Lauryn Hill

Not overly into this, not very memorable. Honestly haven’t listened to the band before, which is strange because I went through a phase of listening to a lot of psychedelic music, but this album just felt quite dull

I had a friend who played this album every single time you were with her, as fun as it is, it’s just overplayed for me and ruined a bit. Listened to this on the way to the beach with my girlfriend and we sang along

I listened to the copy on soundcloud rather than Apple Music as suggested on reddit
Did I enjoy it? Yes, it got me pumped for the upcoming dance music festival I am attending next weekend
Will I listen again? Probably not as it is not easily accessible and very long!

I understand this was groundbreaking at the time, but it never really aged well. I’ve never really been a fan of the early Beatles, anything pre rubber soul

Such a weird way to start the morning during my walk. Did not enjoy this album at all, I have never listened to Bjork before so was excited to give her a try. Was not a great start, but if any of her other albums come up I’ll give them a try

This was a bit dull, no playback value at all for me. Honestly I’ve never really been that into jazz, and I know this album isn’t even a real showpiece for the genre. Hopefully when I get further into the list a bit of better jazz comes my way
