First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

3/5

Cardigans have a few great tracks. This album a bit samy as Nina’s voice lacks colour for me. Ok listen.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Not my favourite Zep album. Immigrant Song the only real stand out for me. However, worth a listen…

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

Brilliant album when it came out. A few tracks not stood test of time for me. So I wobbled between four and five stars…but nostalgia won!

Ramones

3/5

Full of energy. Early punk counter to glam, prog, etc. so refreshing at the time. A bit same same though.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

5/5

Easy one for me. Class all through. If u can get through without cutting your wrists it’s a straight 5.

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

2/5

A few hints at proggy guitar stuff but not that great. Lead singers voice very pitchy.

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

Nice and rocky. I like it.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Quite liked this despite thinking country and folk are the Devils work.

Abraxas

Santana

5/5

Just great. Such a cool album. Really caught my Latin mood today. Haven’t heard it for years but gets a big yes from me.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

2/5

Strange one. I enjoyed this more than I remembered. But basically just Irish folkish. Musicians actually very good, but SM can’t sing. Best tracks are those where he shuts try or is drowned out. Sort of stuff it’s ok to hear drunk in a smoky bar…but out of place in list.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

A bit nothing really. Couple of ok dancy tracks, but that’s it for me.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

2/5

Not terrible enjoyed more than expected but nothing great. Bit different from Sex Pistols days.

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

Some excellent tracks but quite a few skip throughs. Better memory of the CD than the reality of recent listening.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

2/5

Sorry young people. Really not for me. Great beats, although very similar, gets it the 2. It’s angry street poetry - which works if you are a discrimated against West coast dude, but I’m not….

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

1/5

Whiny songs about tedious US country life. I gave a 1 on the basis that you can’t give zero.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

3/5

Not really a fan. But album had more depth than expected.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

2/5

Guy has a serious voice. But very dated.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Yep. Serious talent. This just one phase…

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Brilliant lyricist. Some great songs. But not a fan of his voice - or the universal melancholy. Not the sort of guy you’d take to the pub for a fun evening….

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

2/5

A bit bland for me, but not unpleasant. Could listen in an elevator or walking round a shopping mall.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

I enjoyed this. Early trip hop? Will listen again. I’m in a good mood so went generous with the rating.

Scott 4

Scott Walker

2/5

Same comments as last time….album very similar.
