Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso

Maybe I didn't gel with it, but it wasn't my thing

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan

Nah. Not for me. I tried it but didn't get on with it.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jun 27 2025

Actually better than I thought. Having only really heard Shipbuilding before, I knew of Robert Wyatt and his voice but this album is a bit more nuts in a good way. The music is good and some of the songs okay but there's a couple of gibberish songs that were just a bit odd.. I didn't hate it anyway and would listen again.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 30 2025

Very good album. I already own this, so I"m aware of it's work!

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jul 01 2025

Already own and love this album. One of Johnny Cash's finest and a pleasure to listen at any time.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jul 02 2025

Actually a lot better than I thought. I am.aware of Mr. Cohen's work but it's not in my normal listening choices. The music behind the songs is really good and Lenny's low tones made it a lot better.

Jul 03 2025

I recognise a lot of these songs as Johnny Cash covered them afterwards. Not the worst album as some songs are moody and well written, but not the most "up my street" album. Probably won't choose to listen again

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jul 04 2025

A good album. Have been aware of a few of the tracks for years but never listened to the entire album. Blister in the sun is still awesome though.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jul 05 2025

I'm not a masive Beatles fan but think this is one of the first of the good albums. A couple of more maturing tracks make this bettwr than earlier ones in my humble opinion.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Jul 06 2025

Classic. Still a good listen.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Jul 08 2025

The first song was really good but I didn't enjoy the rest quite as much. I wanted to, but didn"t feel it unfirtunately..

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jul 09 2025

An album I own already. Still good and still worth a revisit. Classic.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jul 10 2025

I did a minute or so of each song and it's dull. Nothing sticks out. Like a duller Jeff Buckley.

Jul 11 2025

Like getting stuck talking to Colin from Accounts at a work networking conference. I attended out of politeness but found it boring and tiresome and couldn't wait to get away.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jul 12 2025

I'd never listened to this album before, and aside from the couple of radio faves, didn't know what to expect. Actually punkier and edgier than I knew of and better for it. Quite good!

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Jul 13 2025

Not the best, but not the worst. An acceptable slice of 70's if you're into it.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jul 14 2025

Stone cold classic. The harmonies and some of the songs are brilliant. In a possible controversial statement though, I didn't love the entire album. Sloop John B remains a personal favourite and God Only Knows is a masterpiece of loveliness but there are others that don't shine as much.

Jul 15 2025

A good album as it happens! Never listened to it in it's entirety before but will be doing just that from now on.

Da Capo by Love
Jul 16 2025

Harpsichordy, whimsical, wafty. Not offensive, can definitely see how it has influenced other bands in the 60s and afterwards, and also how the music was working towards "Forever Changes" too.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jul 17 2025

It's Elvis. It's okay. There are two songs on the album - "I'm movin' on"and "In the ghetto" that I don't mind, but the rest wasn't really up my street.

Jul 18 2025

Open mindedly tried to give it a shot in case it was okay and see if I was missing out. I wasn't! Not enjoyable.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jul 19 2025

Kerplunk is a good Green Day album. This is not Kerplunk.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jul 21 2025

Got it on a.Sunday. Perfect.choice for a chilled day.

Diamond Life by Sade
Jul 23 2025

Thia album encapsulates the 80s. I would say it's an era defining album and I like the clever song about the Salvation Army. Although it's not my normal bag, I enjoyed it.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

The album that started genres. This album is always on heavy rotation in my life, along with many other Black Sabbath albums. Legendary and was always going to get played a lot today, on the day after Ozzy's sad passing. The algorithm did well!

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jul 25 2025

Not a bad album. There are some nice numbers on it. The hits are definitely hits and the rest are okay too.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jul 26 2025

Good album. One I own and well worth another listen.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Jul 27 2025

Giving crud cafe background vibes. Not a fan I'm afraid. Next please!!

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jul 28 2025

Mozzer. He's a bit of a dick, but his music is okay. This album is okay.

Jul 29 2025

Reminds me of an American film where they are driving through New York overnight. The lights and low lifes flashing by and moody. Not really my cup of tea but I can see why others might dig it.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 31 2025

A pleasurable listen from start to finish. High three, not quite a four

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Aug 01 2025

It's easy to trace the lineage of some bands like Teenage Fanclub and The Posies etc.to this. I've never heard the album before but I enjoyed it and would listen again

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 02 2025

I like it, a lot..Never heard it before, but will be listening again, a lot!!

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan

Nah. Not for me. I tried it but didn't get on with it.
