1001 Albums Summary

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk

Probably my favourite 80s band. And this, although many would argue is not their best, is my favourite album by them. Quite sublime. Raised above the norm by the vocals by Hollis and the harmonica work by Mark Feltham. For me a 10/10 album.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales

Loudest band I ever heard!

Apple Venus Volume 1 by XTC

Thriller by Michael Jackson

Shame he slept with children

MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana

The cover of Bowie’s The Man Who Sold The World is one of the very worst (yet hugely popular) covers of his work.

Nixon by Lambchop

An absolute gem of an album

Untitled (Black Is) by SAULT

Full of brilliance. But sadly, as a whole, not brilliant. A flawed gem.
