Figure 8 by Elliott Smith

nothing happens. not offensive, but surprised this features on 1001 albums to listen to before you die.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 08 2025

Over & Over & Angel - typical of FWM - great to relax to. Love the brass band in Tusk. The assuredness behind What makes you think you’re the one? is a vibe.

May 09 2025

The belters make up for what is otherwise unremarkable filler. Listen to the sidewinder sleeps tonight, everybody hurts and sweetness follows.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
May 10 2025

North American Scum is the standout track - however “Someone great”, “All my friends” make for some good background ambience. “New York, I love you But you’re bringing me down” is a wonderful sentiment.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
May 11 2025

The month of may is a great track for the treadmill if that’s your thing. The Suburbs is the standout track here.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
May 13 2025

The jean genie and let’s spend the night together are the clear killer tracks. Aladdin sane has an excellent piano rift.

Elastica by Elastica
May 14 2025

connection is the stand out track - everyone would get behind the sentiment of waking up - worth a listen in its entirety

The Who Sell Out by The Who
May 15 2025

An experience. I can see for miles is a classic. With songs like Mary ann with the shady hand and heinz baked beans it’s refreshing to hear a band as mainstream as the who not take themselves too seriously.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
May 16 2025

Panis Et Circenses and Baby were the most accessible tracks.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
May 17 2025

the jimi hendrix experience. you remember where you were the first time you heard this album. always worth a listen!

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
May 20 2025

nothing happens. not offensive, but surprised this features on 1001 albums to listen to before you die.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 21 2025

keep the car running and my body is a cage strike a chord - a very easy listen.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
May 22 2025

short and sweet, not my usual genre, but not an offensive listen

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
May 23 2025

The sprawl - fuck you, are you for sale, i’m going native - spoken word rather than lead vocals but novel enough to warrant a listen.

May 24 2025

The sprawl - fuck you, are you for sale, i’m going native - spoken word rather than lead vocals but novel enough to warrant a listen.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
May 27 2025

a lovely listen - album as a collective whole when you’re in the mood for jazz

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Jun 03 2025

Angels & fuselage and the three great alabama icons are stand out tracks.

Jun 08 2025

great, inoffensive fillers - but the mainstream tracks made it for a reason.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

belters and a wonderful summer listen

Horses by Patti Smith
Jun 14 2025

Great to be introduced to new artists like this. Gloria is a wonderful listen. Birdland is a beautiful piece about coming to terms with loss.

xx by The xx
Jun 16 2025
Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jun 29 2025

a wonderful listen!

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 05 2025

the rest of the album makes you realise just how good under the bridge is.
