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.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

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

Kala

M.I.A.

1/5

Sorry, bit young for me!!!

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

3/5

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

Carpenters

3/5

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

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

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

Raw Power

The Stooges

4/5

Powerhouses of punk, rock and pop. Raw indeed.

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

3/5

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

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

Easy easy listening. Recognisable voice that makes you smile when you hear it, no matter what song.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

What an experience!

Adele

5/5

That voice, those lyrics, the feelings!

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

2/5

Nice enough but found the tracks a bit on the long and repetitive side

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

2/5

Soft Rock, ok

Electric

The Cult

2/5

Not exactly AC/DC or Iron Maiden.

Dust

Screaming Trees

3/5

Not as hard as led to believe. No doubt still great for the mosh pit. I liked it. 😁

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

Good man or bad man he's definitely engaging. Heartf lt honky tonk with a wry smile.

Queen II

Queen

2/5

Signs of better things to come

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

Throbbing Gristle

1/5

No no no

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

2/5

Soft. Gentle. Ok.but why bother with the retrospective critical acclaim? Not worth it.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

Wow, strength and fortitude from a dying legend.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

This is the kind of different, if a little samey, that I like

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

2/5

Couldn't take it seriously.

Elephant

The White Stripes

Guitar magic. Not my usual stuff, but remember first track cos of footy.

Blood On The Tracks

Painful......sorry I mean full of pain. Good music though
