Enjoyed listening to the whole of this album, I have sound + vision single from this album, funnily enough I’ve just read a Biography of Bowie

I find Coldplay very middle of the road, I liked “ yellow” when it came out, but do not have any Coldplay in my collection, the albums ok, but 5hats it.

Not listened to the whole of this album for many years - chance now to put that right! Very good album - Singing along to songs I’d not heard for ages

Buffalo Springfield

Loved Mr Soul the opening track, psychedelic- good track, the rest of the album was ok, not much happening, but I do like this error of music, brought us so much more great music!

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

I do love Dylan’s early stuff, and have quite a few CDs, not heard this particular album before, really enjoyed it - music’s so pure- so bluesy

Nebraska

Well, what a surprise this album was, never been into Bruce, but I absolutely loved this album, played it twice in. Row, and have added to my collection - love the stories in the songs.

Wild Gift

3/5

Another surprise, never heard this one in 1981, and I was well into the Ramones, Dolls, Heartbreakers etc - good to hear some post punk

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

Funny this one, my sister had it back in the 70s, far too tame for me, over the years though it grew on me, I do love “Dreams”, listened last night to the whole album

Smile

Brian Wilson

1/5

Poor album, not like the Beach boys, similar, but found it dull

Moondance

Van Morrison

1/5

Mediocre tbh, not my style at all

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

Surprised as I quite liked some songs on here, never heard anything that I’m aware of before, fav track - “ keep the car running”

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

1/5

Awful, I can’t listen to much of that!

Quite enjoyed it, obviously Imagine is a fantastic song, but the others in the album I rather liked except Jealous guy.

Django Django

1/5

Not for me

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

This is one of the all time classic albums ever, love it.

3/5

Listened to again, and watched concert footage, raw, powerful in 1980

Radiohead

2/5

Not as good as the earlier albums, not really enjoyed

Didn’t do anything for me,

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

4/5

This was a surprise, I’d never heard of them, but really enjoyed this one

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

2/5

Bit of the same stuff throughout the album, I probably need to listen. Few more times?

Fragile

Yes

1/5

Didn’t like this at all, not me at all

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

2/5

Some nice tracks on here, and if I played on repeat could like more

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Very much enjoyed this taste of Green Day, takes me back a few years, I do like their energy, and meanings in songs, on top form here too.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

2/5

Struggle to listen through to these long songs, though Hayes is very soulful

Foo Fighters

2/5

Was ok, I’ve not listened to a FF album before, though I do like the odd song, and loved Nirvana, Grohls stuff is a bit heavier

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

5/5

Some excellent tracks on here that have spanned mine and my kids generations, “Fit but you know it” and “dry your eyes” master class in writing 💥

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

5/5

One of my favourite albums ever, saw them twice on the “Meat is Murder” tour, I still have the programme from the Ipswich gig - “Well I wonder” and “Barbarism begins at home” marvellous- Morrissey’s lyrics, amazing.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

2/5

Other than the hits on here, album stuffers, I liked the 2 early madness albums, but this is a decent effort

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

4/5

Really enjoyed most of this album, brimful original version - excellent- couple of other real crackers - nice surprise

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

3/5

Should like this more, as I like indie girl bands, another listen required- I have downloaded the album

Common

2/5

Probably need to have a few more listens, but liked it on 1st play, couple of nice trax, will listen again.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

2/5

The name always reminds of the French kids show on TV from the late 60s…..the album is ok, song are so similar though, easy listening though, nice background music

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

This is possibly in my top 10 albums of all time, so raw, and meaningful at the time, “A certain romance” is an all time favourite- Alex Turner at his best - both lyrically and poetic - masterpiece 🤩

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

3/5

A couple of outstanding tracks on here, but I thought I’d enjoy it more, as I do like my hip-hop, maybe I’ll give it another spin, as it’s so highly rated around

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

1/5

He might’ve been back, not sure from where though😂 nice little “pop” album- but nothing special here ( for me that is).
