Like A Prayer by Madonna
Jan 14 2026

Only 3 songs that I liked. The rest I didn't care for.

Station To Station by David Bowie

Great background music. Liked this a lot.

London Calling by The Clash
Feb 05 2026

Brilliant first song. The rest of the album was OK but not my cup of tea.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Feb 06 2026

Influenced by the Doors with a country element in some of the songs. Works for me.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Feb 07 2026

Couple of classic songs that I really like. One song was covered by another band which was better than the version on this album. Funky.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 08 2026

What the.... Liked the last song but rest was rambling nonsense. Music itself was OK.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Feb 09 2026

I started to enjoy this when the album finished. Reminded me a little bit like the Gin Blossoms.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 11 2026

Feb 19 2026

Middle of the road but listenable. Wasn't all bad.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Feb 21 2026

Bob Ross of the music world. Enjoyed this one. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Mar 07 2026

Some of the songs remind me of Sea Sick Steve. Enjoyed this one.

Mar 08 2026

Tuns out, I like folk rock. Very mellow album. Notes of Simon and Garfunkal and also some notes of modern day alternative music.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Mar 09 2026

OK but not Roxy at their best.

25 by Adele
Mar 10 2026

Song no. 1 is great. Other than that, not one of Adele's best albums. Doesn't mean that she is not an excellent singer song writer.

Brilliant debut album. Unique and showcases Bjork's range of vocals.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Apr 17 2026

This was a test of indurance. I just about passed. Shit to the core.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Apr 21 2026

Didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Some good classics on it though.

Sulk by The Associates
Apr 26 2026

Did Muse get some inspiration from this, I wonder? Hate the 80s synth sound on some of the songs and the high notes of his voice. Other than that, it was better than I thought it would be. Recognised 2 songs.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 28 2026

May 03 2026

Dolly has amazing vocals but didn't like this album

May 07 2026
Rio by Duran Duran
May 08 2026

Save a Prayer is a good tune. They were big in their time but the music hasn't stood the test of time.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
May 09 2026

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 15 2026

Unfinished sympaphy is one of the best Massive Attack songs. Some other good songs on this album. Nice chill album to listen to.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 18 2026

Would listen again. In fact, did!

Goo by Sonic Youth
May 20 2026
Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
May 22 2026

Goes on too long

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
May 27 2026

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
May 29 2026

She's only happy when she warbling. I just want her to shut up.

May 30 2026

Johnny has such a raw, emotional voice. He has covered and made his own some really good songs. I don't like all the songs on this album so not quite 5 stars

May 31 2026

Only knew 3 songs from this album and they made it into the charts. They were middle of the road. The rest is nothing special. Not stood the test of time. Stuck in the 80s.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jun 06 2026

Without a doubt, Meatloaf is exceptional, musically and vocally. But I just can't get on with it. It irritates the shit out of me.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jun 07 2026

Some instrumental tracks a bit questionable but on the whole, I loved the funky soulness of this album and would defo listen again.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jun 09 2026

Bonkers drumming. Didn't like music. Another band I can't get on with.

Jun 10 2026

I'm sure this was big in it's time but not music I enjoy.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Jun 11 2026

Nice to listen to but not for me.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jun 13 2026

It was good to listen to this album again. Some catchy, singalong tunes. Lyrics are a bit depressing though.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jun 15 2026

I really enjoyed this. Quirky, folky, mellow. Cross between Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan.

GI by Germs
Jun 18 2026

Not sure about this album. I thought I'd be open minded and give a good listen but just don't like punk.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jun 20 2026

Good beats
