Dire Straits

4/5

Groovy guitar riffs and definitely in the pocket. The first song, 'Down to the Waterline,' had an especially tasty groove. I was not too much of a fan of 'Sultans of Swing'. Worth another listen in the future. Like a decent light beer. The final song, 'Lions,' is a great bluesy and punch groove.

2/5

Very repetitive and sort of contrived, just felt like there was no real enduring substance to any of these songs.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Good piano parts in the first few songs. First two songs definitely better than the rest, not just a huge fan of his voice.

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

Rocks hard but the singing/talking is kind of annoying.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Wonderfully diverse, from the haunting and soaring wistful melodies of 'Corpus Christi Carol' to the heavy and unapologetic groove of 'Eternal Life.'

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

They don't make albums like this anymore... awesome ten minute song, great base lines and grooves throughout, love the synth effects on everything.

Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

4/5

Love the middle finger in your face attitude of this one. Great energy, cool motifs, some of it is just a little too weird but so groovy, will have to listen to more of them.
