Moon Safari by Air
Jan 14 2026

All I need is a great song … fantastic. Very chilled album I enjoyed this! Rating 3-4 stars, I might change my mind after I hear more albums from the generator

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jan 15 2026

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison sounds like he got space from the Beatles, the album wander around a bit I’ve never listened to this before, researching a bit about the album, I realised it came out in 1970 (the year I was born), as a triple LP, and was No.1 in the UK for 8 weeks, so was massive. It was pretty progressive for 1970 so I appreciate the sound and creativity of it. Favourite track has to be My Sweet Lord, might predictable but it was is a great single, iconic song, I love it. I don’t love every track. I felt there was honesty and listened to a few of the tracks a couple of times after my initial listen. 3.5 out of 5 for me

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jan 16 2026

Cloud Nine sounds different to what I expected from them. It is darker and a bit rougher, but I like that. It feels like they were trying something new and not playing it safe.

My Generation by The Who
Jan 17 2026

Great album lyric content? however for its time good

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jan 18 2026

C’est Chic is just a really enjoyable record. It sounds clean, confident, and effortless. Nothing feels rushed or overdone. The grooves are tight and everything feels funky. I like how relaxed it feels while still being sharp. I put it on and let it run without thinking too much about it. It is stylish, fun, and ahead of its time

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jan 19 2026

Abbey Road feels like a band that knew what they were doing by this point. When I listen to it, it just sounds confident and settled. Nothing feels messy or rushed. I like how easy it is to listen to. The songs are strong, and the second half really sticks together in a way that still feels satisfying. It feels thought through, even if I cannot always explain why. For me, it sounds like a great band in a great era, finishing on a high.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jan 20 2026

Love it !! …. At San Quentin held my attention from the start, I was excited by this choice. I like live albums and this one feels direct and unpolished in a way I enjoy. I did not really know what to expect, but I stayed with it. I like hearing the reactions and the atmosphere. It sounds real. Cash sounds comfortable being there and that comes through. It is not slick and I would not want it to be. I enjoyed it because it feels honest and present. 4 stars 😊

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jan 21 2026

This is not really my thing. I can hear the quality in the lyrics and the songwriting, and I get why people rate it, but I find it a bit dreary to sit with for too long. I respect the creativity. I just do not enjoy spending much time in that mood.

Jan 22 2026

This was a better listen than I expected. I went in a bit sceptical and did not think it would land the same now. It is uneven, but there is enough here to keep me listening. I still cannot stand Hey Ya!, which puts me on the back foot straight away. Once I get past that, there is more going on than I remembered. Different moods, ideas, and some tracks that age better than I thought. Not something I love, but a solid listen. Better than I gave it credit for.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jan 23 2026

Great chilled album loved the arrangements and mix of tempp

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jan 24 2026

Differed listening experience for me, I could listen to this in a bar not my go to, although obviously skilled musicians

I went in knowing exactly what it was going to be, and that is pretty much what I got. I do not love it, but I do not hate it either. Some of it is daft and over the top, and some tracks have a bit of punch. A lot of it might feel dated now, but I loved many of the singles at the time. I enjoyed a few moments, then had enough.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Jan 26 2026

Not my usual listen. I played it on out of curiosity more than anything. What I hear is a relaxed, smooth album that takes its time. The playing is good and the groove is obvious, even if it is not always grabbing me. I respect what it is doing more than I love listening to it. Glad I heard it. Not one I would reach for often.

Fragile by Yes
Jan 28 2026

Interesting listen, not really for me but I gave it go

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jan 30 2026

Strange Cargo III is very much one of my things. I love electronic nusic, William Orbit and this album just clicks with me. It feels open, melodic, and easy to sit with … very relaxing and chilled vibe. Listening now, I can hear straight away how it fed into Ray of Light and plenty of other artists. The space, the textures, the confidence to keep things simple. It makes a lot of sense. Four stars.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 31 2026

Darkness on the Edge of Town took a bit of time with me. It is not flashy and it does not grab you straight away, but it grew on me as it went on. I like how stripped back it feels compared to his bigger records. It sounds more serious and grounded. Songs like Badlands and Racing in the Street carry real weight without overdoing it. Not my first Springsteen choice, but I get why people rate it. It feels honest and hard-earned.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Feb 03 2026

Definitely Maybe is one of those albums I never really question and love! From the first track it feels confident, loud, and full of belief and cockiness … great album !! Big guitars, big tunes, big attitude, no messing about. It sounds hungry and unapologetic, and that energy still comes through every time I play it. For me, this is Oasis at their best. Raw, exciting, and full of intent and Manchester swagger. Five stars.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Feb 04 2026

Juju really worked for me. It feels progressive for its time, rooted in punk but clearly moving into something darker and more alternative. I loved the atmosphere and how confident it sounds as a full album. A strong 1980s listen that still feels sharp and interesting. 4 stars

1977 by Ash
Feb 05 2026
Feb 06 2026

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 surprised me. I listened without expectations and heard a quieter, more serious side of him. Less pop, more restraint. It feels thoughtful and grown up. Not flashy, but confident in a different way. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Feb 10 2026

Rubber Soul held my attention. I am not usually a Beatles fan and have always preferred the Rolling Stones, but this is a good record. It feels more consistent and focused than I expected. I stayed with it all the way through, which says a lot for me. Good stuff !! Four stars.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Feb 15 2026

The Queen Is Dead held my attention more than I expected. It is sharp, confident, and full of character. I do not love every moment, but I respect how consistent it feels. The playing is tight and the mood is clear from start to finish. It knows exactly what it is. Four sta

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 16 2026

Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby was better than I thought it would be. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. It feels bold and full of self belief. Some of it is very 80s, but the voice pulls it through. I stayed with it. Four stars.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Apr 04 2026

Bat Out of Hell is completely my thing. I loved it. Big, dramatic, and full on, but it never loses me. It held my attention all the way through. I just enjoyed it for what it is. Five stars.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt

Grace by Jeff Buckley

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman

Like A Prayer by Madonna
May 08 2026

Like a Prayer is excellent 80s music. For me, it feels like Madonna getting the balance right between massive pop songs and something more personal. It sounds confident all the way through. This album has the classics like … Like a Prayer, Express Yourself, Cherish, and Keep It Together, there is a lot to enjoy here. There is even the quirky Love Song featuring Prince, which somehow fits the album’s personality. I think it is a great album to end the 80s with from one of the true pop legends. Five stars.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 20 2026
Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jun 01 2026
Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jun 04 2026
Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jul 09 2026

Hysteria is one of those albums I never get tired of. Every track feels like it belongs, and the big songs still sound as good now as they did then. For me, this is rock done properly. Easy to listen to, full of great hooks, and an album I can play from start to finish. Five stars TH

Dookie by Green Day
Jul 11 2026
The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Jul 16 2026

The Number of the Beast held my attention from the start. It is full of energy and never really lets up. Run to the Hills is an all time classic and still sounds brilliant. The rest of the album is strong too.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 21 2026
Murmur by R.E.M.
Jul 23 2026
Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 27 2026
Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jul 29 2026

Blue Lines was a great listen. I like the laid back feel, and it never outstays its welcome. It still sounds fresh more than 30 years later. Unfinished Sympathy is one of the best dance songs ever made, and the rest of the album more than holds its own. Four stars from me

Tidal by Fiona Apple

Truth by Jeff Beck

2112 by Rush
Aug 07 2026
Ray Of Light by Madonna
Aug 10 2026

Ray of Light is absolutely brilliant. I love the electronic sound and William Orbit’s production, and for me it has really stood the test of time. It still sounds fresh now. The singles are great, but Sky Fits Heaven and Skin are just as strong and could easily have been singles. One of Madonna’s very best albums for me. Five stars.
