Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus

Spirit

3/5

A firm 2.5. Some excellent moments and some very turgid bits. Interesting sounds though

Frank

Amy Winehouse

2/5

Unique voice. Never want to listen to this again.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

1/5

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

2/5

A third of this was enough. I thought they were good beers but oh boy I was fed up with the n word!

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

I could hear you he's of Television, a few duff tracks, but overall pretty good. Unexpectedly!

Electric

The Cult

2/5

Predictable 80s straightforward rock, with a couple of decent tracks.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

5/5

Tip top new wave pop

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

2/5

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

2/5

The Rise & Fall

Madness

4/5

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

1/5

I can see the band's smug faces as they play this to their adoring hoards of muso male fans. The lyrics suck. Just because you can play guitar doesn't mean you should. Turgid.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

Fun listening

The Joshua Tree

2/5

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

Late period Elvis? Went on a bit, but had it's moments

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

1/5

I'm not listening to this, he's having precisely none of the half penny he'd get if I did. But I'm rating it anyway just to say "fuck off you racist arsehole".

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

Hadn't heard this previously. Really enjoyed this and am excited to discover more. Was put off by hyperbole when it first released...the praise was well deserved

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

3/5

The Clash

4/5

Slightly dated I guess, but still powerful. An enjoyable listen. Shockingly I had never listened to this in its entirety before, so good to rectify that.

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

1/5

Bollocks...and just to clarify - that isn't good

Third

Portishead

3/5

Sparse. Some moments of magic.

Dire Straits

2/5

Infinitely better than Brothers in Arms. Almost managed to listen to the whole thing...

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

A joyous listen.

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

4/5

Kenza

Khaled

2/5

Difficult for me to judge as I stopped listening half way through the "Imagine" cover version.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

1/5

Nope nope nope

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

4/5

My least favourite of the first 4 Talking Heads LPs... But much better than I remembered it.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

4/5

Wonderfully strange exotic sounds.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

4/5

Steve Albini's engineering contributes to this wonderful sound.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Classic Christmas made stuffing a turkey much better!

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

A little Spinal Tap but not a terrible record.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

4/5

If only the words "all killer no filler" had been applied to the song selection here. Some of Hüsker Dü's best...and some that would have been better as a Record Store Day limited edition outtakes LP (on purple vinyl ).

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

4/5

Joyful pop music

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

4/5

Not Sebadoh's best ...but still a good un.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Bowie-esque and obviously influential. A good listen.
