So 2004. Played it to death _21_ years ago. I don't want to listen to it again. Maybe "This Fire" gets a pass from me on the Burnout 3 soundtrack.

The Gershwin Songbook

Great voice but 4 hours of basically the same stuff over and over and over again is not my bag.

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Millions of words have been penned about Led Zep. About their musicianship, about the plagiarism, etc. This album is screams childhood. Blasting it while my dad zoomed down the M4. Then maybe swap to Budgie or Black Sababth. I can't not give this five stars.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

I'm on record as not being a fan of BD but I keep giving him high ratings. Maybe I should Know Thy Self more.

Fair play to JD. Not my normal the kind of thing I'm into but I don't mind it.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

4/5

The Jam are defo a blind spot for me. I've heard the hits but never a full album. Was a bit sceptical but the album has good pace. Listening to the 1997 remaster which probably embiggened the sound a little.

Caetano Veloso

3/5

Seems like a sound guy but this album was not for me. I did warm up to it. Particularly liked the last track Eles. Probably not rushing back to the album though.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Steven Wilson mix of this album? Absolute music.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

3/5

EJ is so good but just maybe not for me? I'd kinda just experienced him as the punchline to jokes but he's really good.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

If it were an album of American Girls I'd be into it.
