Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

All Ratings

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

Timeless classic, my favourite is “Fame”!

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

Heard this often as a kid and used to know “Samba Pa Ti” completely by heart.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

Fantastic record, one song in the middle was really good!

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

1/5

Not my cup of tea at all, intently, wannabe artsy, fuck off arcade fire. Giving this one star is way too much.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

1/5

I don’t understand why people like Bob Dylan, it’s so boring. And annoying: 30 seconds into this album and I want to switch it off again immediately.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

A shame what became of Jack White after The White Stripes ended. The music on Blunderbuss is dull, mediocre and average at best. But still not as bad as what is to come with the spoken word rapping shit he devotes himself to in the following years.

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

3/5

Uuh, how scandalous to have a naked made up blonde on the cover and “Hardcore” in the title, how pornographic! I’d rather say “This Is Boring”.

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

Fantastic, mesmerising, an absolute vibe, ahead of its time, perfection from beginning to end.

Brothers

The Black Keys

2/5

The first album I heard of the Black Keys was “Attack & Release” from 2008 and already by then I wasn’t really convinced: too foreseeable melodies, too poppy, too boring. What followed didn’t ever interest me again.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

I never can decide whether “Ride The Lightning” or “Master Of Puppets” is the better album. But as it’s Cliff’s last contribution to the “good Metallica”, I’ll go with this one.

Infected

The The

4/5

Fantastic record, love the mixture of cabaret, industrial sounds and plain pop. The Neneh Cherry-feature, “Slow Train To Dawn”, is a highlight.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

4/5

Great, laid back album in the beginning, boogie rock album at the end, interrupted by bizarre skits that sound like outtakes - fantastic, liked it a lot!

The Undertones

5/5

Timeless classic, all killers from beginning to end - love it a lot! :)

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Timeless classic, legendary record, oh the tragedy.

Violent Femmes

5/5

A fantastic record filled with unintended pop hit singalongs for the masses in a stripped down fashion that I never heard like this again - and all this as an independent release!

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

3/5

Sounds a bit dated over the decades, which I guess is normal, but the way he here and their bites the styles (and partly lyrics) of other rappers (Rakim, Beastie Boys) is pretty revealing. But all in all a timeless classic.

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

2/5

Irrelevant music.
