In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

I realised I’ve always had Sly and KC mixed up. Such a good vibe, and not what I was expecting so pleasantly surprised. Their OG “everyday people” is superior to arrested development cover. Would listen again

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

2/5

I thought I wouldn’t be a fan of a ZZ Top album. Was not disappointed. Strong start, then fades off for me in the middle with a few bumps at the end. Hadn’t even noticed when it stopped and the algorithm started playing other generic white blues rock on Apple Music.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

Nice, easy listening. If Simon and Garfunkel had a third it’d be hard to distinguish between. Look forward to more variations of the line up

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Fuck I just love jazz

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

This was a great little listen, very serene.

Blur

4/5

Solid,

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Sultry and beautiful. This man’s words will never cease to move and amaze

Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera

4/5

My first pantera album I bought when I was 13. No one else had it, I couldn’t stop listening

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Banger, but not their best

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

Great energy, great rhythm. Need to dive into the meaning.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

3/5

If you told me this was a compilation or best of, I’d have believed you. Felt like 3 seperate albums inter woven, yet not an exactly cohesive.

Arular

M.I.A.

3/5

Good vibe, keeps you on your toes.

The Doors

4/5

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

4/5

I Against I

Bad Brains

4/5

On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

Great background album round the house, so songs that never fail to be relevant even 40 years later

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

5/5

Fuck I love jazz

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Goes a lot of places. Some classics on there, realise I was aware of his songs but not Harry Nilsson. Was fun, enjoyed the ride

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

4/5

Fuck yeah. Love this album

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Ahhh, Frank Zappa it all makes sense now. What a trip. Odd start but all together a cool little journey.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

Love albums are a bit hit and miss, but James brown is always a banger

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

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

Man, the days of rock operas. Bring them back.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

4/5

It’s the Beatles, need i say more

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

3/5

Good? Yes Greatest? Questionable This is what I grew up with and even I would skip over most of the tracks. Fine for background vibes, but couldn’t critically listen to a whole Album

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

4/5

Raw and chaotic bliss

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Good, some nice tracks but not the same cohesion as other albums

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

4/5

Dope AF

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

Consistently awesome album.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

3/5

There are some sounds in there that are beyond their time. There are ideas in there from their time

Picture Book

Simply Red

2/5

Not my vibe, but could be dealers choice.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

5/5

Exceptional

Kraftwerk

3/5

Triangle

Such a strange journey of false memories and nostalgia

Play

Moby

4/5

This was one of my favourite albums as a young kid. Opened me up to a whole new genre

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

At least it didn’t make me want to slit my wrists

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

3/5

Pub rock

Let It Be

The Replacements

3/5

Decent 80s punk, not ground breaking or unique, but enjoyed it.

Scott 4

Scott Walker

3/5

Weird, not terrible, very descriptive story telling. Worth a listen

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

Bang on energy.

Imagine

John Lennon

4/5

It’s on here for a reason.

The Band

3/5

Good listening, folk rock

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

3/5

I mean, besides tainted love it’s pretty chaotic nonsense. Fun, but nonsense.

Throwing Muses

2/5

Meh

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

Oh yeah, buckle up.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Classic defining rock album

Caetano Veloso

2/5

Fun, but one and done

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

4/5

Oh man, that was intense. They do not make em like that anymore

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

3/5

Good, worth another look

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

This will change your life.

2112

Rush

5/5

Solid prog rock.

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

4/5

There’s a reason this album is on here, she is an absolutely amazing artist.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

What can I say, it’s prince, it’s good

Blue

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Not her best

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

This album will change your life

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

3/5

Oh man, 90s hybrid rnb/hip hop. Even they admit they aren’t clear what they are, but it’s fun and a vibe It definitely set the scene for great things.

Roots

Sepultura

5/5

Rooooooots, bloody roots! This was part of the staple for heavy metal in the 90s, and for good reason. Listen to it loud, and let it wxplode into your head.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Solid one from the Rolling Stones,

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

I always struggled with Kendrick, is he genius or overrated. You should decide. But this album is an absolute line in the sand. You should listen to it, headphones on and just sit and let it take you on the journey and experience.

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

2/5

There’s better albums to dedicate your time too. They sound too similar to so many other artists that do it better. The title track, Groovin’, is a banger, but that’s about it

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

4/5

Will be honest, I’ve not given Brian eno as much attention as he deserves. This was a great opportunity to actually listen to his music, and you won’t be disappointed. Track two is an absolute earworm.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

5/5

Without a doubt, worth a good listen. This album is awesome, I remember listening to it on repeat riding through cockburn when it came out. Jack white loves music, and he’s damn good at it.

Tommy

The Who

5/5

Concept albums and rock operas have always drawn me in. This is no exception, The Who take you on a wild ride through the life of Tommy and pinball wizardry. Just be careful, the film version can be a bit freaky, We’ll watch it together one day, I hope.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Never had an album been so aptly named for an artist, Lady Soul. Aretha Franklin is amazing, powerful and moving and this album is worth the first 30 minutes, and every subsequent repeat listen. Put it on and let it move you, inside and out.

Kenza

Khaled

3/5

The great thing about Music is it can transcend language. A song, or an album, can be enjoyed without understanding the lyrics, but by getting lost in the rhythms and melodies and the moods the music creates. Khaled manages to capture your attention and take you on a journey, without knowing where you’ve been, or where you’re going. Chuck it on in the background and see where it takes you.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

4/5

Oh man, this is proof that less is more. The drum and guitar set the pace for a high octane journey while Lemmy’s lyrics are gruff and direct. If you’re ever throwing yourself down a hill on a mountain bike or ripping fast lines on a skateboard, this should be your weapon of choice.
