Highway to Hell

AC/DC

1/5

This went on forever and scored 0/10 for the duration pretty much, albeit with a possible half mark for the title track given the opening riff and that the connection always makes me laugh when anyone mentions “Highway to Holiness” a VCFS organisation based in Haringey… I’d be up for albums on weekends too if others are? Tom.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

1/5

Love this but I am a fan of jazz although this is very accessible and would recommend to people who say they don’t like jazz.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

2/5

Flaming Lips have always annoyed me a bit, too coy by half, but I quite enjoyed going back to this, Fight Test is a really good song. Tom.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

1/5

Before last Saturday this would have easily been the worst LP I’d ever had the misfortune to listen to all the way through, “Highway To Hell” set a very high bar in that regard but on balance AM just about got over it…OMG, never again. Tom. I found this unbearable, the lyrics, vocals...everything. Charlotte

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

2/5

I don’t usually listen to live albums but I enjoyed this one. Tom.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

1/5

Marginally better than AC/DC and AM but only marginally so, this achieved third bottom so far because one can’t help nodding along to the opening of SOTW…

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

1/5

I can not be dealing with Springsteen, although I do quite like the song The Cash Brothers wrote about this album. Source: YouTube https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pycuwh1p4oo&pp=0gcJCTIBo7VqN5tD

Common

3/5

I enjoyed this very much, thank you for sharing random generator person. Tom. Not listened to this before, really enjoyed it. I will definitely listen to this again.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

5/5

Random generator person, you are on fire❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Solid Air

John Martyn

3/5

A morning with a star sailor - fantastic stuff!!!!! Love “Solid Air” and “Bless The Weather”. Tom. I liked this, nice start to the day. Charlotte

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

I really enjoyed this, the silent title track being a particular slice of genius. Tom. A good way to stay the day, I’m feeling suitably chilled. Great album. Charlotte

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

5/5

Incredible - 5 stars!!!! Tom

Smash

The Offspring

1/5

I can not in good conscience offer this a rating due to it being unutterably appalling, however I fear the system will require me to award it one star, thus putting the album on a par with the dreadful efforts by AC/DC and Alanis, when unfeasibly it is actually quite a lot worse. Tom. Rubbish - Charlotte

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

1/5

Too hygienic for me, like shopping in duty free. Tom.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

1/5

I just can’t like this no matter how many times I try, not sure why. “7 O’clock News/Silent Night” is a great Christmas song though. Tom

Crosby, Stills & Nash

1/5

I love The Byrds and have much affection for The Hollies and Buffalo Springfield but I totally can not be dealing with CSN or any of their variants - painfully bad. The system requires me to award a minimum of one star, very much undeserved in this instance. Tom.

Smile

Brian Wilson

2/5

I like Heros and Villians but that’s just because it’s in Fantastic Mr Fox. Great film

Teen Dream

Beach House

2/5

The first track was nice but the others were all a bit same. Nothing stood out for me.

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

2/5

Exodus
