Fantastic Solo on Title track Can you get to that is lovely, 2 stand outs are You and your folks Super Stupid 7/10
Tough one to rate, could quite happily never hear half the songs on this album again even though I quite like them, just way way overplayed. Highlight for me is probably rocket queen. 6/10
Album I already knew well having seen The Prodigy several times through the years. Highlights for me are Mindfield Narayan Climbatize 8/10
Day 5 Bowie a big gap in my knowledge, only knew the title track, listened to it several times today, liked it more every time, a great sign. 8/10 Highlights Heroes Blackout Secret Life of Arabia
Day 6 9/10 Know this one very well, grew up on Britpop. Some slightly dodgy lyrics but it holds up remarkably well as an album, not a skippable track on it even if the hits are a bit overplayed Highlights Most of it really but especially Live Bed Show Something Changed Underwear
Day 7 I had never heard any of these songs before or even heard of Manu Chao but absolutely loved this album. First album that’s made me glad to go through this list as it’s one I almost certainly wouldn’t have tried otherwise. Every song sounds different but they all flow really well into each other. Will definitely be going into regular rotation and I’ll be checking out the rest of his discography. Highlights Clandestino Bongo Bong (adored this one!!) La Vie a 2 9/10
Day 8 Not for me at all this one, incredibly frustrating as there they’ll be 30 seconds of what could be a lovely song followed by a minute of noise. The vast majority of it just doesn’t connect with me in anyway, there’s nothing here I’d particularly want to listen to again. 2/10 Highlights Lonely little girl Take your clothes off when you dance
Day 9 Was only vaguely aware of Joan Armatrading, really enjoyed this album and will be checking out other albums. A solid 8/10 for me Highlights Down to zero Save me Like fire
