The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett · 1 likes

3/5

An incredibly talented man clearly it’s amazing that he can play solo for that long and keep it interesting. For me it was the perfect background music for working, it did feel repetitive at times but it was a beautiful album.

Music From The Penguin Cafe

1/5

not an enjoyable listen , to me it felt like they were making this album as a prank. Which sounds harsh but I didn’t think this album was great

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

A calming and also unsettling listen, music that will lull you into a peaceful place then wake you up to some unique sounds that almost make you uncomfortable. It’s a classic for a reason , with a brilliant sound to it. I can see why this is such a beloved album. Great for all occasions.

Buena Vista Social Club

5/5

A beautiful album, with the most relaxing and summery sound. It made me feel as though I was sat in a cafe in Cuba listening to the Buena Vista Social Club perform live, it’s recorded to have that live feel to it. This is a great great album

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

any album that starts with a song like wouldn’t it be nice is going to be a good time, I feel like there were a few songs in the middle that didn’t have the strength of that beginning song or sloop John B but it’s still a great album

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

My favourite pink Floyd album, a short masterpiece. Every song is perfect, I have listened to this album to fall asleep and also while cooking. It’s great for all occasions! It’s serene and relaxing to listen to

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

Two extremely cool guys presenting a brilliant album that has you feeling like you’re deep in Texas , driving a ford pickup and living the dream. Brilliant album with a very cool live track at the end

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Bruce Springsteen is incredibly talented, this album didn’t seem to be my taste though. There were two good songs I really enjoyed but the rest didn’t stand out to me, still a good album though
