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
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.
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
Fuck I just love jazz
This was a great little listen, very serene.
Solid,
Sultry and beautiful. This man’s words will never cease to move and amaze
My first pantera album I bought when I was 13. No one else had it, I couldn’t stop listening
Banger, but not their best
Great energy, great rhythm. Need to dive into the meaning.
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.
Good vibe, keeps you on your toes.
Great background album round the house, so songs that never fail to be relevant even 40 years later
Fuck I love jazz
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
Fuck yeah. Love this album
Ahhh, Frank Zappa it all makes sense now.
What a trip. Odd start but all together a cool little journey.
Love albums are a bit hit and miss, but James brown is always a banger
Nothing but belters
Heck yeeeeeah!!!!
Buckle up for outer space kiddo.
Better than I though, but live albums are tricky
Man, the days of rock operas. Bring them back.
It’s the Beatles, need i say more
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
Raw and chaotic bliss
Good, some nice tracks but not the same cohesion as other albums
Dope AF
Consistently awesome album.
There are some sounds in there that are beyond their time.
There are ideas in there from their time
Not my vibe, but could be dealers choice.
Exceptional
Like Leonard cohen and midnight oil had a collab
Phenomenal
Look, that was probably better than I thought
Such a strange journey of false memories and nostalgia
This was one of my favourite albums as a young kid.
Opened me up to a whole new genre
At least it didn’t make me want to slit my wrists
Pub rock
Decent 80s punk, not ground breaking or unique, but enjoyed it.
Weird, not terrible, very descriptive story telling.
Worth a listen
Bang on energy.
It’s on here for a reason.
Good listening, folk rock
I mean, besides tainted love it’s pretty chaotic nonsense. Fun, but nonsense.
Meh
Oh yeah, buckle up.
Classic defining rock album
Fun, but one and done
Oh man, that was intense. They do not make em like that anymore
Good, worth another look
This will change your life.
Solid prog rock.
There’s a reason this album is on here, she is an absolutely amazing artist.
What can I say, it’s prince, it’s good
Not her best
This album will change your life
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.
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.
Solid one from the Rolling Stones,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Smooth aesthetic, beautiful sound. Great in the background or on a drive, could deep dive more but it was a good listen.
The pixies were proof you didn’t need high tech to be high impact. An album just needs a good idea, some talented musicians and someone to hit record.
There is so much influence in this album that is felt through indie rock, so much harmony between Frank black and Kim Deal’s vocals. This is a trip, and holds an anthem for the obscure society. Bang it on
This an amazing piece of work. Euphoric, rhythmic and simplicity an audible pillow to rest on, or a companion to travel with.
If you can find it, look for the cross over project with Biggie Smalls, it proves the versatility of this album and the talent of the XX.
Was okay, had some entertaining tracks. Worth a gander
Beautiful and soulful while you’re in it, somewhat unremarkable when you’re not.
Story telling is becoming a lost art in music, but this album is a collection of folk narratives that draw you in and take you on a journey. But, as your mother says, while the soul is strong, the ear worms are not.
The euphoric trance journey the underworld takes you on is always great from start to finish.
Ronda wide open space, put on some over ear headphones, close your eyes for an hour and let it take you on a transcendent rave.
Look, the Cure are great artists and as a band are iconic, influential and inspirational.
Is this the greatest evidence of this, probably not, would I suggest you start at one of their other albums, probably.
Should you model your look off Robert Smith, well that’s just up to you.
Oh man, this album is amazing. David Gray will draw you in and you can’t help but fall head first into it.
Put it on when you’re walking, riding or just commuting, it will travel well where ever you’re heading.
Banger
J5 are just fucken amazing.
There vibe, there rhymes, there energy.
Perfect combination, and definitely one to listen to, on repeat….a lot.
666, the number of the beast. This is another throw yourself into the action album.
Iron maiden are gods, Eddie is their minion and they serve metal, for all.
You danced straight off the bat to Take on me, it’s a banger, the rest of the album skirts around it but can’t really top it. It’s fun though and worth a listen and a boogie
What can I say, it’s the Beatles man, the fucken beetles.
Look, Zeppelin are great, is this their greatest album, no, are there some great songs on this, without a doubt. Should you listen to it, most definite
This was early days, hip hop was developing and pioneers like Africa Bambaataa were setting the scene and taking it directions that would start a movement. This is history, appreciate it.
Chill grunge from the late 80s, it’s fine, but not their greatest
Great album, some amazing tracks that will get stuck in your head, and an amazing piece of history for representation in hip hop.
From start to finish this album is amazing. You will have so much of it stuck in your head, and that head will bop along.
Put it on, loud, and dance away like no one’s watching!!!
Your uncle Tom had this album when we lived together, it’s track after track of energy, rhythm and hip hop.
Can’t fault it, and it’s another one to play loud in the living room and let it take you, or on your head phones to take it some where with you.
Look, it’s a fine album, just not original, there are other artists who have done it better, and nothing memorable to make you want to go back. You didn’t even really dance to it, and you were dancing to everything then.
I had a cousin, his name was Tim. When we went on trips to Brisbane, I used to drive around in his ford fairlane listening to tapes of the Beatles and Billie Joel. I think him everytime I hear any Billie Joel, and especially “only the good die you young”. Tim passed away from stomach cancer well before his time, and I’m not saying he was the best person, but as Billie put it, “it’s better to laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints”.
This album is amazing in its own right, and I hope you find connections with these songs and Billie Joel that bring a smile to your face, a spring in your step, or a tear to your eye. True art makes you feel, and this album is full of it.
Fun, iconic. Some bangers that will get stuck in your head.
Look, good message, but there are better albums from the time to lose yourself in.
Oh man, this was a turning point in my early teens. There are some absolute bangers on here that will get you vibing, dancing, running and throwing yourself around like a crazy man. Definitely play it loud and get your mum and me in for a dance party
There’s a reason Frank Sinatra is synonymous with lounge and swoon. He has a voice and a style that draws you in, he can pick up a song make this, then move on to the next.
This is a great collection of songs that will tickle your ears, but as an album it’s nothing phenomenal. Chuck it on in the background, when you’re cooking, eating with friends or having a chill Sunday afternoon.
Oh man, a star per song and then one because the album as a whole slaps hard.
So much rhythm, so much movement and so much to discover.
Dance, dance like there no one watching.
Beautiful album. Cello song is a cracker. Nick drake is the type of artists that transcend time, and have had so many artists emulate him that he fits in to any era. Awesome album, sit back and just fall into it
Look, this was better than I gave it credit for considering my opinion on mainstream commercial pop music. Beyoncé is very good at what she does, and deserves that respect.
Would I suggest you jump at the opportunity to experience it for yourself?probably not. Would I have a wiggle with you if it was on? yeah, pretty sure I would
Fine, there are better rock bands from the time. Smoke on the water and highway star are both bangers though.
Oh man, oh man, oh man.
Nirvana were a forced unto music that forever changed the grunge scene.
Kurt Cobain (RIP) was a tortured, trouble and beautiful artist. Talk to your Aunty Clarius, she’s somewhat an expert,
This album kicked off a movement, and I say let it stomp down the door. The drums, the melody’s the angst. Play it loud little man, lift your horns and bang that head till your neck aches.
This was way better than I had anticipated. Very fun, worth a shot.
This is such a fun album. You had a fun dance party with your cousin shae when we turned it on.
Such a great energy and fun for a party vibe. Hype yourself up with a dance session to it.
Look, I’m not huge on Van Morrison, he writes some good music, but I just don’t click with it. You don’t need to love everything, and you might enjoy it more than me. Give it a go if you must, and maybe it’ll click
Moody, melodic, familiar yet fierce. I slept on Fiona Apple when she came out, but I’m glad I listened through this album. Has a lot of reasons to go back again and again.
Oh man, we did not enjoy this and I usually am all for a covers album. Punishing kiss is a pretty appropriate name. My advice, listen to the originals.
Man, the cure can create and curate a work of art for an album. Cohesive and moody. You’ll get a lot out of this.
Had never heard of these guys before, but this album was very familiar. Really enjoyed it, and a couple big standout tracks. Give it a go, can recommend
They’re not my favourite hip hop group, but this is a top pick for them. Quest brings a vibe that is positive, fun and catchy as hell. There are some great samples used and you’ll remember to never leave your wallet in el sugando.
You bopped to this as soon as the first beat kicked in.
This album is an absolute classic in the hip hop scene, and is full of absolute gold all the way through.
Chuck it on, play it loud and protect yo neck as you bob yo head!!!
Oh man, this is an amazing album.
I remember your aunty Clare hunting high and low for it when we were in Europe the year it came out. It was impossible to get in Darwin, and proved just as hard to find there. That probably just shows the impact it had.
Don’t fall into the Blur or Oasis wars, you’ll lose either way. Enjoy them both, and sing along loud to this.
What a vibe. Fun, smooth, sexy and sincere.
Will definitely jump back on this with you when you’re older and we need to get moving around the living room.
Classic, and for good reason
Elvis Costello is a genius, this album is solid example of it. Fun, vibrant and will get you wiggling.
Play it loud, and dance around like the maniac you are.
Jazz fusion. This is a nice little background jam, or a critical listening album with some headphones if you want to dive deep into the layers and transitions throughout.
Birdland is a banger, you will hear it and will fall into it hard.
Caught us off guard, was a lot funner than we’d expected. Your mum gave this two thumbs up, and definitely ticked a lot of boxes for me. Good that bands and artists can span generations and still put out great music.
You can’t go wrong with Bowie, he’s got a mode for every mood.
Always.
Oh man, this is a good album
On speakers, alright, not fantastic.
On headphones, oh yeah, I see it now.
Iggy, oh Iggy.
This has a couple of my all time favourite tracks on it, such a great album and you can hear the influence from Bowie spread through the whole album.
Absolute classic
To have this album follow Iggy was prophetic.
While not filled with chart toppers and radio songs this is still a great album to explore. Whether you are invested in the personas of Bowie or just want to enjoy his catalogue this album will not disappoint.
Psychedelic journey through time and space. This is the kind of album you kick back, sink in and let it take you places. Well worth it.
You were learning to walk when this album came up, so to watch you lift your arms and dance to smooth operator is a highlight.
This album is beautiful, soulful and tells so many stories. Sade voice and delivery is amazing and something to explore.
Your Nonna will sing these songs at you, hell, your mum and I will sing these songs at you. You may not like it at first, but I’m sure you’ll eventually find yourself singing them to yourself, and at others, and for good reason.
Haha, another album you danced excitedly too.
This has a lot of funk, soul and rhythm that will have you tapping your feet and moving your hips.
Throw it on, move with it and enjoy every moment.
Man this was fun, short fast loud. Some bangers that’ll get stuck in your head and wiggling your hips to get your groove on kiddo with some pure rock n roll
