4/5

Pretty good

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

Hypnotic night time music

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

3/5

Classic Jazz vocalist enjoyed the feel and atmosphere of the first few songs but not a lot of variety as the songs have a sameness and I lost interest by the end. Very distinctive singer.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

4/5

This is a very ragged record. Neil on drugs and depressed at the deaths of friends makes for a sad record with some good songs. Title tune is great as is C'mon Baby Let's Go Downtown.

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

3/5

80's pop with some catchy tunes great vocals

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

Classic R&B

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

1/5

I couldn't get past the first three 'songs' Not for me

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

1/5

Whiny vocals kind of punky with some Sabbath vibes amateur drummer I can’t support a band without a bass player (except the Doors and they eventually used one)

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

1/5

Robot 'music' good for elevators and grocery stores

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

3/5

Some good heavy tunes

Pretty bland I don't understand the appeal of this band

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Toe tappin' Nigerian world beat this is why I joined this group good to hear music that I wasn't aware of good stuff

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

1/5

I know this is considered a metal classic but I've never liked this band. Whiny vocals boring guitar .5/5

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

The Clash's best record demonstrating their transition from punk to ska. London Calling, Spanish Bombs, Clampdown so many good songs. If you want to get into the Clash this would be a good start.

I Against I

Bad Brains

2/5

I might have liked this when I was 16 but I guess I'm getting old...really wasn't interested in this one until about halfway through. Two or three decent toons without the screamy vocals were actually not bad. Partly hard core punk and partly not.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

4/5

Fun 80s pop lots of keyboards and reverb

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

Great first album If David Bowie and Talking Heads gave birth to a band

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

The jaunty melodies hide Morrissey's dark lyrics....Girlfriend in a Coma is made so creepy by the light melody and the laid back laconic vocals

Violent Femmes

3/5

Snotty bratty band with some catchy tunes

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

3/5

Maestro Fresh Wes vibes

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

3/5

This is more OG rap with a slight War vibe. Likeable.

Real Life

Magazine

3/5

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

2/5

Quiet acoustic folk I'm guessing the lyrics are more the focus as the music is basically strumming acoustic guitar

Brothers

The Black Keys

2/5

Rehashed warmed over ‘blues’ Go listen to the real thing ie: Muddy. Buddy etc

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

3/5

As an album it's not very good but worth it for God Save the Queen and Anarchy in the UK The punkiest pioneers of punk at their angriest best.

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

I only knew Lorde from Royals so this one was all new to me. I liked it basically with it's spacey electronic backgrounds. I hear some Kate Bush, some Taylor Swift in there. Not bad at all.

Decent hard rock

A classic

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

I only knew Dusty Springfield from her hits, never had any of her albums. This one is basically a covers record except it includes her hits. I really enjoyed it. She has a very good voice with decent range. This is 60s pop at its best.

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

At San Quentin

3/5

Not as good as Folsom but worth a listen

Peter Gabriel
