Moving Pictures

Rush

1/5

Well I managed to live thru listening to this album…I have never enjoyed Rush and unlike some things my taste hasn’t changed…only Tom Sawyer is worth a listen . I know this is horrible for a Canadian to say but …YUK

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Great album, timeless tunes, really enjoy her music. Respect is a favourite of course., I never loved a man,, Soul serenade, baby, baby, baby...Do right Woman, Do right man and a change is gonna come.... this is a great listen

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

Wow..first listen. Perfect for the end of the day. Very intimate feels like you’re there in the room with them the music in the air …beautiful !!

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Love a bit of Reggae, this album was new to me. I guess Ive listened to a lot of best of...so this album didn't hit s much as I was expecting... that's my theory. some fav's Stir it up, Kinky Reggae, All day All night and Midnight Ravers

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Another one on the list that I’m not big on Stevie Wonder …I listen to the album and I can say now that I’m more accepting that before. Enjoyed some of the popular songs .

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

5/5

Love me some Muddy Waters! How could you not.

Snivilisation

Orbital

4/5

Cool Album..enjoyed it. Will be giving this one some more play time.

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

5/5

Another new listen ..seems like I’m the only one who didn’t know them. Great tunes and vibe..a keeper

California

American Music Club

2/5

Another new one for me... never heard of AMC, guess I wasn't depressed enough. This album has a place and time.. I can listen to his voice and the music its very easy to listen to.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

5/5

What can you say .. its Elvis! great album. I did a little research on this one and didnt realize this was another one of the turning points for him... for such a 50's rocker it sure showed he could bring his talent to a new era.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

Love this...great album. Some really good tunes.

Throwing Muses

4/5

Different , but fun. I would spin this one again ..not sure how or why it made the list ..don’t see much on this album on the web

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

4/5

I enjoyed this ..I’m not a hardcore fan but liked this genre in the day. Hurt is a great tune made even more special by the man in black. Honourable mentions to piggy, March of pigs, closer and I do not want this.

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

4/5

Enjoyed this album...need to relisten to it and explore more in this vein.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

Fantastic Album, spun this one a lot back in the day...good fun

Parklife

Blur

3/5

Some good songs but some not so good stuff, overall a little fun but not a regular listen

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

4/5

Was unfamiliar with this album but enjoy Dylan..I think there are better albums but understand possibly how this made the list much like Elvis from Memphis a demonstration of his talent as he was becoming less relevant . I listened to this album twice and I like it will be played again …

Viva Hate

Morrissey

2/5

meh... nothing of real value to listen to here...don't hate it but ain't making it to my playlist.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Enjoyable listen...not my regular vibe. I liked listening to it at work... perhaps it will work its way on to my playlist.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

This is truly an awesome album...where is the sixth star button?

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Loved this album, great to get reacquainted . Some trusty favourites

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

Ok so this was a slog at times…and at others it peaked my curiosity. I can’t say I won’t be back but not sure I’m up for another listen anytime soon.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

Surprising find, I enjoyed this album this morning particularly like the vocals of Beth Hirsch going to her a listen. Will dive a little deeper into Air as well.

Richard Hawley

1/5

Nope..not for me

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

Wasn't overly familiar with this album, but an enjoyable listen.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

5/5

One of my favourites…played the hell out of this one…love her voice . Fabulous album

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

2/5

Been a while since I spun some Kate Bush…I still like it but it’s just not hitting like it used to…mood has a big effect on listening . This would have been a solid 3-3.5 before

Django Django

4/5

Different but enjoyed it really liked “storm” not my usual listen but the more I listen the more I like this one

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

2/5

Too much sk8trboi for me ..good voice, great sound but loses me

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

2/5

What a struggle…worse than listening to Rush..if it wasn’t for Ella’s beautiful voice I would have stopped with the first song…my god 3h and 15mins of these songs…words escape me.

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

This was unexpected ..really enjoyed this! It will get on to the list. Even the 16 min drum solo…cool stuff.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Great album some favs ..and it’s the stones. Stones all the way

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

3/5

Early MM was the best..this is a fun album. I haven’t listened to MM for a while, happy to get reaquainted.Not strong enough for a 4 but deserves more than a 3…

Infected

The The

3/5

Only time for one listen wasn’t horrible might give it another spin

4/5

Good stuff :-)

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

2/5

Only had one play thru, not real sure I would listen again..to give it another chance. Being fair I would give a 2.5 but since 1/2 stars aren’t available a 2 it is…perhaps I will be back

Solid Air

John Martyn

3/5

Enjoyed this one..will play again.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

Fun listen..who didn’t like “Grove is in the heart “ not sure how this made the list … but was what I needed today

Great album ..a little dark but love the music
