Be class at dalby forrest after a smoke or in the hippy tent at glasto. I.was young when I got into them. Still got a soft spot for them, but music for witches, wizards and gnomes doesn't do it for me as much these days.

Negatives never goes anywhere. Never lifts off the ground. Know stand out track (Least not on first listen) Vocals are way to quiet it was getting a bit annoying at times.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

3.5 really as I think Frank's a greatest hits man.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

3.5 this! Never got this album just feels like songs that wasn't good enough for ziggy. 4 or 5 good songs, but the rest of it is meh. Its not very cohesive and let's spend the night together just doesnt work on this album.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

Masterpiece! Got bo rhapsody, love of my life and your my best friend on it. What more do you want from an album? It Shows the best of each member of the band.Queen at their peak really in terms of in the studio. Remember buying this and a day at the races together 21 years ago on CD and playing them for weeks. A night at the opera is always going to have a special place in my heart ❤️

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

First 4 or 5 songs are really good, but starts to fall off towards the end of the album. 3.5 stars

Elvis Presley

3/5

A few nice songs on it mixed in with the usual filler and covers at the time. I can appreciate it, but as a album its not great. I can imagine most Elvis albums albums follow this patten in the 50s and 60s. I think hes best appreciated in a best of or greatest hits compilation; or even a late live album. Long live the king though 🤴

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

Synchronicity

3/5

Yeah thought I was likeing it, but half way through i realised i dont know what hes on about in any of these songs. Every breath you take is great and a few other songs were good but its just a hit and miss album. Open to hear it again and some point but for now a solid 3.

C'est Chic

CHIC

2/5

The Who Sell Out

The Who

4/5

Just a great 60s pop/psych concept album thats not ment to be taken seriously. The who doing their version of radio caroline. From the cover to the adverts its just a fun album! A record that was gearing up the for TOMMY bit unfortunate that its in the shadow of some their more famous work but with songs like Armenia city in the sky, I cant reach you, sunrise and I can see for miles its still classic who album.

Ramones

3/5

I think mr burns said it best when watching the ramones "have the rolling stones killed". Record is decent enough! All songs sound the same though. Can imagine it was great when it came out. Ramones are okay 👍

Fred Neil

3/5

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

More of a 3.5 really Least favourite of the smiths albums

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

Dont really get the hype to this. Just alright innit. Maybe slightly better then some of the indie bands of the early 2000s, but still nothing to amazing. Dont need to play it again.

All That You Can't Leave Behind

3/5

2.5 really Like coldplay people like to hate on U2, but put that aside they are 4 or 5 decent songs on here. The lyrics are rubbish though and the music is just bland at times. All in all its just and okay album. If your checking out U2 for the first time this probably isn't the best place to start.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

4/5

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

3/5

A good album could maybe even bumb up more stars with a few more listens. First half of the album is really good, but falls of slightly towards the end. A album that needs more then one listen to appreciate it.

Violent Femmes

3/5

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

5/5

Kimono My House

Sparks

3/5

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

Weird one this for me as the band is not really my type of thing as i think they are pretty corny.. ...But this is a cool and great album to be fair to them. For a debut too its tight as fuck with banger after banger on it.
