Moondance

Van Morrison

5/5

Very enjoyable. Cheerful and relaxing. Standout tracks - And it Stoned Me, Come Running, Everyone. Alongside Moondance and Crazy Love, which I was previously familiar with as Michael Buble covers. Interested to hear more Van Morrisson.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Enjoyed this, lots of feel-good tracks. Standouts were Lost in Music, We are Family and He's the Greatest Dancer. Some dull and forgettable tracks, however.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

I'm just not a Dylan fan, sorry. The vocals just grate me, and I sigh every time he whips out the harmonica. That said, I did enjoy Tangled up in Blue and Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts. This is fine, but I don't see myself listening again.

The Yes Album

Yes

5/5

Great! I was originally a bit intimidated by a Prog album, but this was fun and I will definitely explore some more of this band. I listened to most of this album twice and got a lot more out of the second listen.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

2/5

My first album from the 50s. Very much in two halves. Let the Good Times Roll is a fun big band track the first in the livelier first half, with others a bit more forgettable. I found the second half quite dull and plodding, although I appreciate how influential this artist is. I hadn't previously realised Ray Charles was blind! He also fathered 12 children with 9 different women. Yikes. 2.5

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

Not sure about this. I liked a lot of the music, instrumentalism, riffs etc, but I'm really not keen on Jack White's vocal style and some of the lyrics are... hmm. I'm glad I listened, but I don't think I'll find myself reaching for this much. I liked Blunderbuss, I'm Shakin' and Trash Tongue Talker the most.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

Fine, easy listening. Shining Star and Yearnin' Learnin' were my favourites. This is my 5th 70s albums of the 7 I've generated, and I think I need a change!

Blur

2/5

I really didn't enjoy this to be honest, apart from Song 2 and Beetlebum which I already knew. Essex dogs was quite atmospheric but I wouldn't listen again. Just a lot of tuneless noise that sounds like a boring version of Oasis - sorry!

Dry

PJ Harvey

2/5

This was fine. I can tell this artist is talented but I found it all a bit forgettable. It sounded a bit like the Blur album I just listened to...

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

2/5

More boring Bob Dylan. Possibly even more boring than BOTT. Dull tuneless music interdispered with blaring harmonica. Why does anyone enjoy this?
