Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

I'm really digging this, listening to it late(r) at night I guess so it's a pretty mellow way to spend the night.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Superunknown

Soundgarden

3/5

I think the grunge world may have passed me by a bit, but I'm gonna give it a solid 3. Maybe this is sounded a bit dated - who knows. I wish I'd heard this back in 1996 - I'd have loved it!

Adele

3/5

Not a bad album, but not one of her best if I'm honest. I went with it, because it was already in my collection so why not listen. It's not really going to stand out.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

I don't know how this grew on me, but it really did. At first I really hated his voice. Horrible. Then I grew to love it. It makes you wonder.

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

1/5

If I never heard this album again it wouldn't be too soon. This is awful music. Saw it reviewed as some sort of Art Rock. Well it's terrible.

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

4/5

I quite like this one - can't quite believe it's all recorded on one night on one mic - seems too much stereo for that. Class album though. No nothing about the band, singer has a great voice.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

3 Listens and I love it. The guy is a legend.

Buena Vista Social Club

5/5

This has been a proper album I've always loved. Simples.

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

3/5

Nice album pretty uplifting. Maybe not memorable much, but I won't delete it.

The Only Ones

3/5

Another grower I think The tracks are pretty mellow overall. Kind of punky, but funky.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

Really enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. The two obvious hits - well overplayed, but the rest of the album is really good too.

Gorillaz

4/5

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

2/5

Not a fan of the screaming women in this. Nice to test, but don't think it's going to grow on me - opting this one out of my collection I think.

The xx

4/5

Really enjoy this album, nice to see it on the list. Not for everyone I guess.

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

4/5

Love this album been on and off rotation since the minidic days. It's chilled, mellow but uplifting.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

I think this is a bit of a grower - I like it, but wouldn't reach for it big time, I guess.

Different Class

Pulp

5/5

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

I mean this is decent. I'm not sure it's aged all that well. But I think a lot of that about a lot of the albums I rate that I've heard so many time. Still giving a 4

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

4/5

Was not expecting to love this album as much as I did - I read a bit on the struggles this guy had, Clearly a very talented musician. It felt pretty dark in many aspects, but also uplifting. For sure a keeper. It's a very long album with some fillers, Books of Moses for example.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

I kinda grew on this - I don't think I'll delete it.

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

2/5

Just din't get into and don't plan on trying.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Pretty much enjoyed this Dad Rock
