Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren · 1 likes

1/5

Didn’t think the music in itself was that bad but as it happens one Malcolm seems to be the scum of the earth so won’t be listening again.

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

Big fan of the sexy drums in this album. Lots of toms which are the hottest of the drums obviously. Faves are baba, behind blue eyes, and won’t get fooled again.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

This kind of rock makes me feel like a little kid in summer when my parents are cleaning the house and I’m avoiding the floor (wet) and my dad’s CDs are playing. Faves are Tuesday’s Gone, Simple Man, Poison Whiskey, Free Bird. Gooooood shit!

Elephant

The White Stripes

3/5

Think there are some goodies on here like There’s No Home For You Here, In The Cold Cold Night, The Hardest Button ToButton, Little Acorns and It's True That We Love One Another. But wouldn't say this is my general vibe!

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Really fun vibes, could definitely get into this. The Beat is my fave by a mile.

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

I completely understand why this is on the list cause it’s very good but it doesn’t immediately speak to me. BUT Sally is an incredible song and I keep randomly singing sallyyyyyyyy around the house.

Shalimar

Rahul Dev Burman

1/5

One two cha cha cha 💃

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Easy 4.5 stars. Love this album. The lack of production elevates the grittiness of the stories in these songs and makes them feel more authentic. This is my America 🫡🇺🇸

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

1/5

Never make me go through this again pleaSE. Some okays were Middle-Class Heroes and The Frog Princess.

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

Brilliant album. Starts off as a warm up and ends with me strutting through the street like I’m at the club. Definitely a stronger album in the second half for me. Adore Darling Nikki, When Doves Cry, Die 4 U and Purple Rain. Strong 4.5!

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

This is a gorgeous slow morning/ slow day soundtrack. Especially enjoyed It Could Be Sweet, Pedestal, and Glory Box. Rating it 4 because this is going in my chill rotation.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

1/5

Didn’t think the music in itself was that bad but as it happens one Malcolm seems to be the scum of the earth so won’t be listening again.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

3/5

For being on the harder side I actually found this a charming album. Faves are Black Hole Sun, The Day I Tried To Live.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

I wish I could give this a 3.5 because I think it’s a great album but it won’t be in my personal rotation.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

This is a bit too hard for my personal taste but I actually think it’s a really great album so I’m giving it 4 stars. If 14 year old me was given this she would have loved it. Metal, grunge and hard rock into one. It’s super cool. Anyway, these are the faves: Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Love, Muzzle, Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans, Thru The Eyes of Ruby, Stumbleine

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

1/5

I See You

The xx

2/5

I like XX a lot more than this album, I find the lyrics very 2010s coded (derogatory).

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

3/5

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

4/5

Was debating whether to give it a 5 stars, but I feel like Graceland is even better so I’ll wait it out. What a great album. Not a single skip. Amazing lyricism. Song About the Moon is probably my favourite!

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

3/5

Definitely a 3.5, some absolute classics on here but I don’t care much for the other songs on the first listen.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5
