D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

All Ratings

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

Simple foot tapping folk music. I found his distinctive voice a bit whiny at times. Lyrics may well be personal but a bit self indulgent.

The World is a Ghetto

War

2/5

Not as upbeat as I'd hoped. Surprised that this was as successful as it has been. Not funky or soulful enough.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

5/5

Great disco sounds. Definitely dance like no one is watching.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

1/5

Not for me.

Bossanova

Pixies

1/5

Trying too hard. Sounds like a mixed up tribute band to me

Low

David Bowie

3/5

Don't consider Brian Eno to be David Bowie's saviour, but thank goodness David got well and gave us Heroes. Scary Monsters etc and Let's Dance. If there had been no more from this man, we had plenty of his genius to enjoy.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Excellent, loved this album since I first heard many many years ago.

Signs of better things to come Jean Genie still the best to dance to.

1/5

Sorry, bit young for me!!!

Life Thru A Lens

Marmite. Don't like him so much, feels like he knows he's on to a good thing and is taking the Mickey. That said, some good britpop and a couple of genuine heartfelt songs.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

1/5

Bit too plinky plonky. Very dated.

Close To You

Easy listening at it's easiest. What a voice, relief on covers though.

Rubber Soul

The original influencers of so many different styles. There's a real honesty and truth to their work.

Powerhouses of punk, rock and pop. Raw indeed.

Many many influences. Bit harsh in places. Glad that Pharrell got to be Happy.
