Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jul 16 2025

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.

Sea Change by Beck
Jul 17 2025

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

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jul 18 2025

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

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jul 21 2025

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

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jul 22 2025

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

Moon Safari by Air
Jul 23 2025

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

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

A good debut, but miles off their second record

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jul 25 2025

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

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jul 26 2025

Started ok but got progressively cheesier and more irritating

Harvest by Neil Young
Jul 28 2025

Excellent song writing and influential sound

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jul 31 2025

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

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Aug 01 2025

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

London Calling by The Clash
Aug 02 2025

Pretty good but doesn't really thrill me

C'est Chic by CHIC
Aug 03 2025

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

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Aug 04 2025

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

One World by John Martyn
Aug 07 2025

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.
