Time Out
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Nice jazz album but not really my cup of tea overall. Couple of familiar tunes 'Blue Rondo à la Turk' and 'Take Five' that I liked well enough.

American Idiot
Green Day
Nostalgic but still really fresh. Never gets boring or too slow and is filled with classic GD hits like 'Holiday', 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' and 'Wake Me Up When September Ends'.
Over 20 years old and still a banger of an album.

Great album. Hadn't heard much beyond the title track before, but enjoyed it as a whole after a full listen.
Every tune offered something new but contributed equally.

Smash
The Offspring
Can hear what made 'Americana' such a great album. Couple of great tracks 'Self-Esteem' and 'Gotta Get Away' but a little samey overall.

Thelonious Monk
Not for me. Doesn't make me feel anything and is very slow. Not sure jazz is my cup of tea.

I respect the experimentation and willingness to try something completely new. As a listening experience though, I can't say I found it very enjoyable. Sometimes noise...is just noise.

Parklife

Classic Britpop album. Far more experimental than many rival bands of the period but lacking memorable hits beyond the obvious. Good listen.

Bad Company
Bad Company
Great bluesy hard rock album. Paul Rodgers' voice is amazing throughout. Bad Company are one of the best rock supergroups and this debut album was a great opener.

John Barleycorn Must Die
Traffic
Interesting combination of jazz/folk/rock. Winwood has a great voice and the album is great background music but overall isn't for me.

Surf's Up
The Beach Boys
Had not listened much beyond 'Pet Sounds' but really enjoyed this album. The first 4 songs especially are among my favourite Beach Boys songs. For a 17th album (!!!) it's a great listen.

Exile In Guyville
Liz Phair
I think the problem with this album is that it has aged very poorly. At the time I can well see how this would be seen as an ambitious, bold album in a genre dominated by men. 30 years later the lyrics read like an 'edgy' tumblr post of someone who discovered feminism 15 minutes ago. Shame as I was very curious about this one.
