Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

All Ratings

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

5/5

Surprisingly good. Never would have chosen to listen to it but enjoyed and would listen to it again.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

2/5

Never heard of them. Not offensive but would never choose to listen to again.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

2/5

A little bit of Pixies is refreshing. A whole album not so much

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

The voice! I knew none of these songs but was great to listen to. Should really explore more of Nina's back catalogue. It's not really my preferred listening genre but quality shines through.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

2/5

Yeah... It doesn't include their biggest hit so maybe another album to go in the list? It all seems a bit self indulgent 9 minute free bird. Meh really, didn't inspire.

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

You can't ding this. A couple of mega hits that even a 12 year old will recognise. Pure voice and harmonies. Even one song with one of the boys singing lead vocals. Seems so innocent. I had fun.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

Double album.... That's cheating! Funk version of "listen to the music" interesting. Late night groove. One album was probably enough. For an album called "3+3"I'm giving it a ..... "3"

The Last Broadcast

Doves

4/5

Good listen. I had it on in the background then went: hang on, I actually want to listen to this.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Jazz but Jazz at 100 miles an hour. Not available on Spotify but found it on Youtube. Pity about the ads 'tho.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

3/5

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

3/5

The Black Sabbath you expected. One monster hit everyone knows and the rest in the same vein.

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

3/5

Pleasant enough but didn't stand out to me.

Sulk

The Associates

2/5

David Bowie after a bad acid trip.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

I had not heard of DJ Shadow. According to Wikipedia this was revolutionary for it's time. It may well have been, but I can't see it now. I certainly don't remember it from when it was released. 5 million monthly listeners on Spotify apparently, but it's lost on me.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

4/5

Absolute anthems, and some filler. Pretty good first album for a star.

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

3/5

Punk lives. Enjoyable blast through a punk album I haven't heard before.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

1/5

Clearly country, clearly crap. I didn't listen to the whole album as I don't want the algorithm to decide that I really want to listen to Norwegian country music like it did a few years ago. It took 18 months or more to purge that out. Johnny Cash he aint.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

4/5

A little Jeff Buckley is amazing. An entire album was a little too much.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

2/5

None of their biggest hits. Not unpleasant just not scintillating for me.

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

1/5

Remind me why I listened to this again? I missed it when it was released and I won't miss it now it's gone again. I don't think it has aged well.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

Some of these songs are incredibly relevant today. Bob can't sing but he can sure write and get a message across.
