Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Black sabbath’s tone, space, feel and dynamics are unique and inspirational. They set the peak for creativity combing melody, rhythm and back to back amazing riffs.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

The Specials

4/5

Classic album with crisp grooves and fun lyrics.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

I was expecting more from the first three tracks, but then came, happy days, who is it, pyscho killer and pulled up (tracks 4, 5, 10, 11) which were refreshing, interesting and cool tunes, nice way to finish the albums too.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

A pretty good collection of classic Christmas songs.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Grooves, beats, blended with skilled lyrics make this a great album.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Solid sound, tracks 4, 8 & 9 were stand out songs for me. candy’s room, streets of fire, and, prove it all night

Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

Radiohead have so many amazing albums, this one has a couple of my favourites songs, tracks 2 & 5, ‘pyramid song’ and ‘I might be wrong’. They capture a hypnotic layered sound that flows smoothly with unexpected quirks. Thank you Radiohead!

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

This album has it all; fast blasts, epic instrumentals, amazing riffs, more amazing riffs, master pieces songs with melodic solos, and yes more amazing riffs!

The Grand Tour

George Jones

3/5

The generator has done well, pushing me to listen to something I would never has chosen. Honestly, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this, maybe as I knew I was committed to listen through. The lyrics were entertaining, music easy to listen to.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Nick’s vocals are totally captivating; the tone of his voice, the emphasis on each word and the stories within. I’m not sure if Nick writes songs with the Bad Seeds or if they add the instrumental sections after the vocals are complete - however they do it, it works so well with each song.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Favourite track, skidmarks on my heart, which is the first time I’ve heard of that line.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

3/5

Great atmosphere and experimental soundscapes.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

The opening track is my favourite, Green River, it has great groove, gets stuck in your head, and isn’t overly complicated - feel there’s a lot to learn from that track. I hadn’t listened to much CCR, mainly due to the overplayed songs, but this album makes me think, maybe I should check out more.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

2/5

Live recording, first tracks set up the energy for the rest of the album.

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

3/5

The first two tracks have great energy and brightness, and for some reason Bob’s Yer Uncle seemed standout for me.

Pelican West

Haircut 100

4/5

This album captures what I think of for funk in the 80s. It’s fresh, good energy, with horn sections over funky guitar rhythms.

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

3/5

Listening to this album reminded me of many other albums that came out after it, did this inspire others? Or was this the sound at the time that everyone wanted to make? The opening track, is my favourite from the album
