Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

4/5

A teenage favourite that opened my ears to reggae adjacent stuff. The songs are also very soul oriented, date night, n loving soundtrack. It's hard to argue with how pleasant many of these songs are.

Beck

3/5

Pleasant enough but lacking the fun and creativity of his best output

Joan Armatrading

Joan Armatrading

3/5

I found this somewhat forgettable in terms of songwriting and vocals. People was a fun song.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Always found Metallica a bit cringey and getting older hasn't helped much. It's not terrible but not for me

ZZ Top

2/5

Fun enough in its own way I suppose, but also very dated and cheesy, without particularly strong songwriting to underpin it; not for me

Air

3/5

Pleasant enough but quite backroom music-y. Might be a grower

Black Sabbath

3/5

A good debut, but miles off their second record

Michael Jackson

3/5

Couple of good songs but forgettable in many places, hard to stomach MJ these days

Billy Joel

2/5

Started ok but got progressively cheesier and more irritating

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

3/5

Didn't really grab me beyond its enjoyable funkiness

Neil Young

4/5

Excellent song writing and influential sound

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

Big, brash and overall not the sort of jazz I love

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

3/5

Interesting sounding but no t really for me

Songhoy Blues

3/5

Interesting, and quite groovy at times, but not on the level of the best Tinariwen albums, for me Clive.

Sleater-Kinney

3/5

Listenable enough despite some shrill vocals but not something I'm rushing back to

The Clash

3/5

Pretty good but doesn't really thrill me

CHIC

2/5

It was pleasant enough but u don't think I'll repost. 2.5 stars maybe

The Teardrop Explodes

2/5

I found this a bit tedious. Doesn't stand out from other British music of the era

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

2/5

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

4/5

Perfect in its sloppy, messy, fuzzy joy.

John Martyn

2/5

I quite like a few of his other songs but this album did not appeal to me at all. Didn't enjoy his vocals, or the attempts at ambient and jazz.

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers
