Teen Dream

Beach House

2/5

My only previous knowledge of this band was that Elegy to the void song that James put on a playlist so I was excited to try this. Sadly nothing on this album as good as that song. 10 Mile Stereo was my favourite

Straight to the top of the list. Sublime

Adele

Glorious. Listened in an indoor trampoline park at half term. Thank you noise cancelling headphones….

1/5

3/5

Enjoyed this and you can see how it has influenced modern bands (Dry Cleaning)

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

2/5

Some albums I think will be a 2 or 3 before I listen and then I listen and find myself enjoying it more than I thought. This is one of those albums.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

3/5

The ‘2 songs’ are brilliant and the rest does not quite reach those heights but pleasant enough. Those songs drag the rating up though….

Bad

Michael Jackson

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

2/5

Bits of this I enjoyed but the longer it went on the less keen I was on it.

Tea for the Tillerman
