Not my jam, but I can appreciate the lyrical skills.

C'est Chic
CHIC
Nice bass. Talented band, but overall pretty weak songs and shallow boring lyrics.

Imagine
John Lennon
Further proof that P-Mac was the better songwriter. A couple good tunes on here but it’s mostly average at best. The last few seconds bumped John up a few notches on my list of worst harmonica players ever (he’s giving Bob Dylan a run for his money).

Club Classics Vol. One
Soul II Soul
Was not really into this to start but it did grow on me as the album progressed. When Back To Life came on I was like, hey I’ve heard this. Was going to give it a 2 but, despite probably never listening to it again, I think it deserves a 3.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret
Soft Cell
Couple real gems. Couple decent head bobbers. And a bunch of filler.

Coat Of Many Colors
Dolly Parton
Solid 4. Would give it 4.5 if I could.

Axis: Bold As Love
Jimi Hendrix
Never could jive with Jimi’s melodies and chord progressions. Very inconsistent, some good tracks on here though. Title track is strong.

Hypnotised
The Undertones
Fun band. Consistent album. But, I was never really wowed by any tracks.

Let England Shake
PJ Harvey
Pretty good. My first time hearing this artist.

British Steel
Judas Priest
My only experience hearing this band was on Beavis and Butthead… Breaking The Law!
Didn’t really know what to expect. I always thought Judas Priest was metal, which I tend to avoid. This was great though, more like hard rock with some metal-esque guitar solos. Was this ahead of its time?
I found it a little cheesy at times, but maybe that’s just because I’m hearing it for the first time in 2025. Maybe this was mind blowing back in the day.

Some good songs. The falsetto singing got old.

Van Halen
Van Halen
Amazing debut. This must have blown minds when it came out. I like how succinct it is too. 35 minutes, all killer no filler.

16 Lovers Lane
The Go-Betweens
It was a fine album. Understandable why I’ve never heard of them though.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Liked the message, but the delivery was lackluster. First song was the strongest.

The Clash
The Clash
Never got into them beyond the radio hits. This exceeded my expectations. Kind of like the Sex Pistols but better musicians.

Parallel Lines
Blondie
Surprised how guitar-forward this was. I always thought Blondie was like an 80s synth pop band. Reminded me of The Cars. I love how she breaks up her voice in the back of her throat every now and then.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
Eurythmics
My first 5 star of an album I’ve never listened to in it’s entirety. I was fully engaged start to finish. Was expecting good things, since I love the hit single title track, was not disappointed
