I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

One of my favourites. My dad played this album excessively when I was a kid.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

Fantastic album. I need more bossa nova in my life.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Amazing album. 'Stop that Train' sent me into a Peter Tosh rabbit hole that went late into the night.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

A favourite. I spun it 3 times.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

5/5

Tight band, classic tunes, the energy of a live performance - amazing.

Snivilisation

Orbital

5/5

Amazing. I was unfamiliar with this album/artist. Pleasantly surprised. Added to my rotation.

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

5/5

An old favourite. Listening to this on a proper hifi system is a treat. Love

California

American Music Club

1/5

This isn’t it. Depressing, unpleasant musically - I’m not sure why this album is on such an esteemed list.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

Easy listen. I'm not the biggest fan of Elvis' crooning, but there are some well known hits on this one.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

Another favourite. Heavy rotation

Throwing Muses

4/5

This was totally new to me, and I enjoyed it way more than I thought i would. I spun it twice. It got better

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

1/5

I was a teenager in the 90s. I hated NIN then. 30 years later - I still hate NIN. This noise ruined my day.

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

3/5

Fun album. Not my favourite to come out of the WuTang camp, or even my favourite Ghostface album, but there are some great tracks here.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

Great album. Brought back many memories.

Parklife

Blur

2/5

I don't hate this album, but I don't particularly like it either. It doesn't offent me in any way, but I have absolutely no desire to hear a single track from this album ever again.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

3/5

I liked the first half of this album more than I thought I would. The bluesy stuff was great. It's shame, but 'Highlands' killed it for me. Who wants to listen to Bob Dylan singing for 16.5 minutes about nothing? Nobody. When I got to minute 10, the words of my 16 year old daughter came to mind: 'Bro - this is low-key pissing me off'.

Viva Hate

Morrissey

2/5

Easy listen, but a bit boring a melodramatic for me.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Fun. Frenetic. Top notch musicians. I'm glad I was introduced to this album.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

So much fun. Definitely a 5/5. I’m glad I came back to this.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Sometimes a little bit corny, and the album is a bit long, but the music is just so FUNKY.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

I had a hard time with this. Noisy and boring.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

Two spins of this and I’m still not sure what I think. That usually means I’ll like it on the third

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

1/5

Hard pass.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Classic album, with some dull spots. Overall - a great listen.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

4/5

After close to 30 hours of travel, and spending the day in the chaotic, filthy beauty of Saigon, this was exactly what I needed to calm my overstimulated brain.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

3/5

This grew on me on the second spin. I don’t hate it.

Django Django

2/5

If you somehow plugged a Beach Boys cassette into a ColecoVision video game system, and then lightning struck - like in Weird Science - instead of Kelly LeBrock and a Ferrari Mondial, you’d get a lady that looks like Mrs Doubtfire and this album.

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

2/5

This was my first experience with this album, and likely my last. Jagged Little Pill-esque with boring musicianship and a MUCH less talented singer.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

2/5

Beautiful voice, but this was 3:15 of the same song

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

This was a fun one to revisit.
