Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

Pure energy and punch! A rip roaring blast of an album that influenced so much of modern music. Can only imagine this live. I had never heard the demo of Baby - what a treat.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

Firer half of the album is especially good! Enjoyed this listen.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

4/5

Beautiful production and gorgeous lyricism and vocals.

Live At Leeds

The Who

2/5

I have always wanted to like The who but just can’t get there even with this live album. You can definitely feel the dynamism of the band and I did enjoy the cover songs.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

Always a fun listen. Clever rhymes, inspired samples — a true creative tour de force with such awesome energy between the three Beasties. Love it!

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

Interesting, layered musicianship and I enjoyed hearing the different influences throughout. Was not familiar with ELO’s sound so this was a nice surprise! And “Jungle” is a banger.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

I thoroughly enjoyed this listen - what a voice! In My Bed is a new favourite, and I wish this album had found its way into my life much sooner. It’s hard not to wonder what could have been had her life not ended so early, but the music she left behind is an incredible legacy.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

What a brilliant album. No doubt about why it was a smash. So many amazing songs and great production.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

Perfectly pleasant listen with nice harmonies and some groovy influences.

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

4/5

Always hear about Brian Eno and how influential he is. A real soundscape here!

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

I first heard this album the summer before I turned 15. Listening now 30 years later was a trippy experience. Beyond the hits it was good to hear some of the other cuts like Forgiven with fresh ears. The production is crisp and holds up too.

Vespertine

Björk

4/5

“It’s not meant to be a struggle out there.” This album feels like an insulated soundscape. It sounds like new love and the creation of a private, internal world. It reflects the deep understanding of yourself that can emerge when you’re beside someone you love. There are so many secrets, subtle details, and a strong sense of possibility woven throughout. I really enjoyed listening to it.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Smooth as silk. What a voice, what a vibe!

Truly the perfect album!

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

This one crackles with energy, humour and a freight train of a sound. Hearing the inmates talking, hollering and shouting adds to the experience of listening.
