Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings

In the argument for best album of the 70s. Stellar, particularly given the crazy circumstances around its recording.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 21 2026

Boring as all hell

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jan 29 2026

Nice and experimental

Achtung Baby by U2
Jan 30 2026

Career high, by a country mile

Raw Power by The Stooges
Feb 03 2026

The stooges lit the touch paper

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Feb 05 2026

Nice bridge between retro 80s dance music and what was to come

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Feb 06 2026

More of a 2.5 but a couple of standout tracks saved it from a lower rating

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Feb 08 2026

Sprawling, and not always in a good way. More of a 3.5

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 10 2026

What a record - masterpiece

Moon Safari by Air
Feb 11 2026

Starts very well but peters out

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo

Nothing to interest me here

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Mar 09 2026

1001 albums that would make you pray for the sweet release of death. Absolute garbage.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Mar 10 2026

Pretty good, would listen again

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Mar 12 2026
Harvest by Neil Young
Mar 25 2026

Better than I remember but still a 2.5

Homework by Daft Punk
Mar 26 2026

A 4.5 to be fair. One of those rare albums that is both timeless and very much of its time

Connected by Stereo MC's
Mar 27 2026

Poor memories of this, singles aside. Will give it a try Absolute muck

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Mar 28 2026

It’s a 7/10 album

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Apr 04 2026

Just dull

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Apr 05 2026

Not on Qobuz. Listened to a selection of their other material instead. Can understand why they see so we’ll thought of but not really my bag

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Apr 06 2026

Have loved this album since it came out. A 4.5

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Apr 09 2026

Not great at all. 2 in generous

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Apr 12 2026

Should be a 4 but it’s about 20 minutes too long and the gyno jokes have aged like milk.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Apr 13 2026

4/5 - much better band than I’d given them credit for. Close to a 5.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Apr 14 2026
Tical by Method Man
Apr 16 2026
Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Apr 27 2026

In the argument for best album of the 70s. Stellar, particularly given the crazy circumstances around its recording.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Apr 28 2026

Changed the game forever. A classic.
