Better than expected. Sounds and production very similar to Prince on most tracks.in fact there even a Prince cover

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

I've been listening to this album for over fifty years. Still love it. Hopefully I'll get to listen for another fifty.

Ananda Shankar

2/5

The track Sagar(The Ocean) ticked the boxes. The rest was largely forgettable

Van Halen

3/5

Average AOR. Not my kind of thing

The Libertines

3/5

When this came up I expected to hate this however it wasn't quite as bad as expected. Nice production, ok songs, terrible singing.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

Not usually what I would listen to however the back story of how it was made was intriguing. There is no denying the talent on display here.

Pink Flag

Wire

4/5

First ever listen to this. None of the songs hang around too long. Will need to listen a few more times but enjoyed this

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

3/5

Not a bad album to start a career with but far better would follow. Psycho Killer is the best track by a mile

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

My first ever listen. Great guitar playing. Good production. There is some great stuff on this however it seems to lack focus on some tracks. At the minute I would rate this at 4.5 stars. Need to listen to again however I can see why it is loved.

Femi Kuti

2/5

Not for me. All tracks are too similar.

Close To You

Carpenters

3/5

Beautiful voice. Really good production. It's a bit like eating cake. It really sweet at first but eventually you know you've eaten too much and don't want any more. 3 stars

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

3/5

The actual music was interesting. I loved it when the cinematic strings appeared. Felt more like a soundtrack than an album.

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

Probably their best album. The energy keeps going till the end. Lyrics are a bit naive but still a decent listen

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

5/5

This is my favourite album from one of my favourite bands. I have played this album for over forty years and it still gives me goosebumps. Probably the most gorgeous sounding record ever. 5 stars
