Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

Can't help that I'm a guitar fan. However no more than 3 due to Clapton being ... Clapton.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

1/5

Not for me...

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

It maybe a great album. I almost wish I had not heard the tracks so much when I was young. His voice annoys me now unfortunately.

Violent Femmes

2/5

Trendsetting sounds to be found here. However I don't feel like listening to it again.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Low

David Bowie

4/5

Bowie + Eno = <3. Some tracks are easy to listen to and some are like looking at a painting of something miserable and sad. It's weird, poetic, sad, desperate and worth a 1000 listens.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

Fantastic album - lyrics and music.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

5/5

A moving and completely wonderful album.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

3 Would not buy the vinyl.

Smash

The Offspring

1/5

Felt like one loooong track.

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

I like the real instuments and the harmonies.

Da Capo

Love

2/5

The music is more interesting than the lyrics and I can see how that could have inspired later artists. I like the rythmic changes and the improv part. The flute is a bit much though.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

3/5

Did not hurt but was not memorable either.

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

They know their instruments and they are not afraid to do instrumental tracks. I liked it more than I thought I would.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

5/5

An interesting listen given the current geopolitical and environmental development. I like the lyrics and it works well with the music. Can't believe this is from '88 - how would they draw Lady Justice today then?

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

5/5

Don't break the heart of a musician.

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

Does not really feel like an "album experience" - how are these songs connected? Lyrics and themes are everywhere. Music is a bit monotonous for my taste but it does not hurt my ears.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Snivilisation

Orbital

4/5

Definitely glad I heard this album as it is filled with moods and emotions.

Cypress Hill

1/5

How can their aim be that good when they smoke so much? Not an album for me.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

2/5

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

1/5

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

4/5

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

1/5

Stankonia

OutKast

3/5

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

1/5

I don't know.. It did not fascinate me.

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

2/5

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Fantastic album!

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Elvis Presley

1/5

Don't like the lyrics or the way he sings. At least now I know where a woman's place is... surprise surprise.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

2/5

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

The Yes Album

Yes

1/5

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

3/5

The album is a 2 for me, but her incredible voice and her being a tremendously inspirational individual makes it a 3.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

2/5

Could listen to it again.

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

4/5

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

3/5

The Bones Of What You Believe

CHVRCHES

4/5

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

2/5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

The Cars

3/5

I was not really in this mode when listening. Maybe another day would have meant more stars but today it is a 3. I can hear later punk bands and also a bit of Queen in the vocals which is a good mix. However the lyrics are a bit too monotonous for me.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

1/5

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

3/5

This has some definite highlights especially in the first couple of tracks. After this, I think the songs are more arbitrary and not so interesting.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

2/5

I don't think I will listen to this album again. Nothing wrong with the music or his voice, it is just... tedious.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

Odelay

Beck

2/5

I liked a couple of the songs however most of the sounds did not sit well with me.

Forever Changes

Love

3/5

Liked this more than Da Capo.

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

1/5

Lots of emotions in his voice.

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

4/5

Sounds like quite the evening! Love the energy, not so much the lyrics.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

2/5

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

Yeezus

Kanye West

1/5

Worst lyrics I have ever listened to. I had forgot about his use of autotune. And a pity to sample Nina Simone onto this mess... Only plus is that he got Daft Punk and Arca as producers on some tracks.

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

3/5

A nice reunion with "helicopter" and "he would have laughed". The other tracks I find a bit dull.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

Great music and lyrics with - for me - surprising depth. I like the 80s sound with the societal criticism. Hereby added to my LP wishlist.
