Scott Walker

2/5

I feel like this is something Sean Connery's Bond would listen to while bedding a married woman.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

4/5

Trippy. Janis sounding like Marge Simpson

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Some gnarly transition like halfway through the first song, and some cool bits otherwise but one day on and I remember basically nothing about this

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

Better than I expected, everything else I knew of The Kinks was so self similar I was surprised to hear a bit of variety on this. The Ringo Starr vibes were a surprise and I don't know if they were a good surprise. Extremely regretting my 3 stars for Led Zeppelin 1. That should have been a 4 or 5 and now I liked this one, but I did not prefer it LZ1. I just made a balls of an early review and now every other album I look at is compared to it.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

I love the Monster's Inc soundtrack

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

I've always held the controversial opinion that Bowie is heavily overrated. Has some amazing stuff but any dive into his catalog always left me disappointed. Always felt like he made weird music for normal people and normal music for weird people. The title track here is a good example of what I mean, with its totally dissonant piano solo. But this is making me reconsider the depth of that belief. I still think he's not really for me the way he is for others, but it might be easier to give his albums straight through listens again after this.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

5/5

Movies

Holger Czukay

2/5

Trippy, but can feel pretty directionless. First track is a lot of fun though

The Bends

Radiohead

2/5

I had no idea that this is what Dan Le Sac sampled for Letter From God To Man. What a great song that is. Started this album so strong and I was finally giving Radiohead a chance. And then the rest of the album played. The day that I found out that the worst song by my favourite band was a Radiohead cover I pissed myself laughing because suddenly Street Spirit (Fade Out) being so much worse than anything else they put out finally made sense.

Destroyer

KISS

2/5

Detroit Rock City and God of Thunder are the only things keeping this above a one.

With The Beatles

Beatles

1984

Van Halen

Such good craic

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

make it stop

Scott 4

Scott Walker

2/5

I feel like this is something Sean Connery's Bond would listen to while bedding a married woman.

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

2/5

Cannot believe this is from 1978. Sounds like it could have come out this week. Not really my jam but great nonetheless.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

Wild, but that last track totally lost me.

Gold

Ryan Adams

2/5

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

5/5

Not sure if it's 5 instead of 4 since I'm listening to this about 12 hours after Ozzy's death was announced, but it's a fantastic album either way 🤘🤘🤘🦇🦇🦇

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

3/5

Tony Hawk core

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

Listened to most of this and then changed device and spotify lost my progress. Rather than guessing where I was, happily listened to the whole thing again. Pleasantly surprised by this one.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Nile Rogers is one of those artists that is so bursting with talent, but I find almost everything sounds the same.

War

1/5

I always thought the amount of hate U2 got was unwarranted and just the typical Irish not liking someone for their success. I no loger think that, fuck these guys. The only thing that could make this better is if Bono paid his taxes. Or if the all of the songs were different.

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

2/5

Fatboy Slim songs remind me of SNL sketches. Some start really brilliant but as they keep going I can't believe how long they're willing to drag it out when they should have ended it four minutes ago. I do really get the impression that he really respects the source material he uses and loves music more than a lot of other DJs.

The Clash

3/5

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees
