Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

5/5

I like his soft, melodious voice, and his lulling guitar. Very calming and the selection of songs are very story-like.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

Another banger from MJ, showing us why he was known as the King of Pop

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

4/5

Huh, so that's who Buddy Holly is. This album has classics and you can hear where the evolution of certain musical chords came from. A bit outdated, but it is almost 70 years old.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

5/5

I like this blues man. The "Mannish Boy" song is the one with the often heard repeated riff.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Maybe it was just the songs in this selection, but Mr Hendrix is an amazing guitarist but not as much a singer. The things he does to a guitar are magical, with a transportive quality.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

The amazing Cash songs of HURT, The Man Comes Around. In My Life was a surprisingly touching ballad. His cover of Personal Jesus is also mellow and one of the better ones. The gravelly tones of Mr Cash are fitting for the songs of this album.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Apart from the "Right Here, Right Now", I've never heard any other songs from this album, or indeed, any other Fatboy Slim songs at all. They're pretty good. I think I've heard "Praise You" before as well, that's another good one.

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

First time I've heard a full Beatles album, and not a cover. I like Mr Postman, Roll Over Beethoven (first seen from the dog movies), Hold me Tight. Even though it's a bit old, you can still hear their influences today (2025)

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

Ah, Gangster Rap. First full album of it I heard. The beats are catchy, the slang is understandable, and the voices are deep and smooth, and the pain they convey is real. I had an appreciation for it from the movie "Straight Outta Compton", and the rest of the album doesn't disappoint.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Kind of ironic that I get this album recommended just as news that Ozzy Osbourne passed away (22/07/2025). Some great memorable tracks and electric guitar solos.

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

3/5

eh, its okay

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

The fifth and final Simon and Garfunkel album has plenty of expected high hallmarks, such as "Bridge over Troubled Waters". A combination of piano, guitar and soothing vocals to coat the whole album in good vibes, such as "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" and the parts of "The Boxer" that suddenly add the brass section.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Although the lyrics are impactful and the melodies fitting, the main vocalists' voice doesn't exactly fit the tone.

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

3/5

It's okay. They've got passion.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

These ballads are great! I love the Orpheus song

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

eh, its okay

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Ah, the famous White Album. It has several great music tracks, ballad tracks and "My Guitar Gently Weeps". I didn't quite understand "Section 9", which sounded like the experience of half-waking from a lucid dream.

Virgin Suicides

Air

3/5

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

4/5

I liked some of the Promenade pieces and the Baba Yaga section was great!

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

So that's what Janis Joplin sounds like. She's not too bad, and very croony.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

I like their rap.

Femi Kuti

3/5

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

Bert Jansch

3/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

They have a great garage band feel. I like their song for Cyberpunk Edgerunners "This Fire", the songs "Take Me Out" and "Come on Home"

Live Through This

Hole

4/5

Screaming girl teen rock. Despite this, I'm a fan.

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

3/5

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Everybody DOES want to rule the world!

The Joshua Tree

4/5

despite having their songs shared with all our smart phones back in the day, I don't hold it against the quality of their songs. Songs of note: I still haven't found what I'm looking for, with or without you

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

Yep, It's great.

Night Life

Ray Price

3/5

Feel like something from Fallout New Vegas radio

Tical

Method Man

4/5

I like your methods, man

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Cash songs are a great act, and the live performance at a prison for the inmates adds to the legend. I like the Boy named Sue.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

It was okay. Not quite my sound.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

Very ethereal, almost alien sounding soundtrack. I wish it were longer.

1989

Taylor Swift

4/5

Full of modern pop hits, it sounds great, but safe.

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

I like it. Prince is having fun with the songs. When Doves cry was great

Aretha Franklin

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

3/5

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

4/5

I'm beginning to think that the recommendation algorithm is sometimes given a push, especially with NIN doing the newly released TRON Ares soundtrack. (I'm a sucker for TRON)

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

The Slider

T. Rex
