It brings me back to high school, my friend was, and still is obsessed with The Pogues. I can only listen in small sections as it's pretty intense!

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Aug 29 2025

This is a name I have always heard and never gave it a good listen - she’s incredible

21 by Adele
Sep 01 2025

I know it’s a seminal album, but it bores me. Next.

Smash by The Offspring
Sep 02 2025

This album WAS my childhood!

Van Halen by Van Halen
Sep 04 2025

Weirdly I'd never heard this album before, only heard about it. Whilst it wouldn't be an album I'd normally put on, I can see why it's considered a banger.

The Bends by Radiohead
Sep 05 2025

This is a top 5 album of all time for me. So many memories, good times, bad times - and I will never, ever tire of listening to this. In fact, I've probably listened to this 1001 times. High and Dry in particular never fails to illicit a big ol' lump in my throat.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Sep 10 2025

Interesting! I'd never heard of MJ Cole before, and we ended up having a bit of a dance party because of this album!

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Sep 11 2025

“Karl, you’re on another planet mate” Ricky Gervais to Karl Pilkington, XFM. They often played this song, so it was nice to go to the source!

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Sep 12 2025

Absolute belter, we had a soul filled house for 24 hours.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Sep 15 2025

I love Nick Drake - I was first introduced to him from the Garden State soundtrack, but too much is a little like eating too much candy.

The Score by Fugees
Sep 17 2025

Loved it - but the fiancé said ‘turn it off, it’s too early’. Ah well

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Sep 23 2025

Really beautiful. I was exposed to Elliot Smith through watching Good Will Hunting.

Some 90s albums don’t hold up.
