Graceland

Paul Simon

2/5

Not a massive fan of the folksy style and instrument use, however nicely mixed and can appreciate the musicality. Graceland still an enjoyable song but no other standouts.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

Enjoyed the disco/soul flavour to most tracks. Great vocals for most tracks. First few songs of the album are the real highlights (DSTGE, rock with you).

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Enjoyable but blues not my thing. I did like 25 minutes to go, Folsom Prison Blues and Jackson. Live aspect also elevated the album.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

Enjoyed Green River and Bad Moon Rising, but no other standouts. Agreeable background listening but not the most interesting.

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

Really enjoyed this, live aspect again was good and the jazz/afro elements just worked really well. Really interesting mix of songs as well. First and last tracks were my favourites.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

Enjoyable 70s rock but no major standouts for me. Preferred it to CCR but besides The Changeling and Riders on The Storm no standout tracks.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

No skips 10/10

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

3/5

Title track and shadow of the sun were favourite tracks, enjoyable album overall.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

3/5

Okay psych rock record, nothing standout or particularly memorable

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Enjoyed Dazed and Confused the most. It’s a great rock album but probably not one I’ll come back to.

Goo

Sonic Youth

2/5

Not my thing, won’t be coming back to it.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

3/5

Enjoyed it, bit bloated as an album but good songs like streets of your town and love goes on

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

4/5

Great beats with socially conscious lyrics, can see how it influenced subsequent releases like TPAB, not as tight as his later album Be

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Really enjoyed this, compact and good variety in the songs.

Foo Fighters

2/5

Songs all blended into each other, no real standouts for me. Annoying in places e.g. Weenie Beenie

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

3/5

I enjoyed the title track and The Ocean, similar in places to Mark Knopfler which I enjoyed. Probably a higher end 3.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Enjoyed the soul sound but repetitive themes in lyrics and in the musical style.

Boy In Da Corner

Dizzee Rascal

2/5

Like some of the tracks but overall there are some awful parts of this album, and much better grime albums out there

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

1/5

Just no
