(Pronounced 'Leh-'NΓ©rd 'Skin-'NΓ©rd)
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Great album. Forgotten how good they were. Middle of side 2 is a bit weak otherwise would be 5 stars.

Itβs massively self indulgent hair metal. The type that birthed a million shitty spandex clad 80s American rockers. Itβs probably quite impressive guitar playing but theyβre like an author who needs a good editor. Itβs telling that the best song on there is a kinks cover.

Illmatic
Nas
Really good. Not my usual thing at all. Great beats and musically very different to what I think of as rap. Bit repetitive maybe which is why I didnt give it 4 stars.

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon & Garfunkel
Obviously some legendary songs on this, but I was surprised by the amount of filler

Too long- lessens the impact

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Good album- made me revisit Brodge over troubled water too as I think I was too harsh on it. Need a 3.5 star rating really

Passed me by at the time; I was Oasis over blur in 1994. Blue got better, oasis got worse. This has some great tracks on it but overall is too art-rock for me and most of it is a bit bland or isnβt very memorable.

Only By The Night
Kings of Leon
Liked the music, didnβt like the singer- like axl rose doing a Bruce Springsteen impression.
Catchy but ultimately meaningless anthems.

The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
Iβd give it 5 stars for eclipse alone. The whole thing is just incredibly immersive. Itβs 50 years old but still sounds amazing. I canβt imagine what it would have been like to listen when it first came out.

Bland, earnest music for church or a coffee shop. How could anyone love this?

Band On The Run
Paul McCartney and Wings
5* Album. Despite not previously being a Beatles or McCartney fan this record brings me great joy every time I listen to it.
Aside from the obvious tracks I love Mrs Vanderbilt and Let Me Roll It.

Meh. Middle of the road 90βs rock. Nothing wrong with it, nothing great about it.

Paranoid

Particularly enjoyed planet caravan and a couple of the others Iβd never heard before. On some songs you can really hear the Led Zeppelin influence.

Daydream Nation

Disappointing. The music is good but repetitive and becomes dull. The lyrics and the singing are poor. I struggled to see what the point of it was.
