Transformer by Lou Reed
May 04 2026

I last listened to this about 25 years ago. It’s aged better than me. Upbeat but if you listen to the lyrics there is real depth. Lou has such a distinctive voice. A great album.

May 05 2026

A great album. Catchy but serious Rick music. Memorable stuff.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
May 06 2026

Really great rock album. Powerful guitars. A classic but still somehow sounds modern. Close your eyes and you are in a smoke filled bar in the 70s. Fantastic stuff.

Dummy by Portishead
May 07 2026

You have to be in the mood for this but if you are it’s a relaxing listen. Downbeat. Not really my thing but I can tell it’s quality.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
May 08 2026

Really good blues rock album. No stand out tracks but pure quality!

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
May 11 2026

Worth a four just about for the two famous stand out tracks. The rest is a nice eclectic mix and at only eight tracks it does not out s many albums.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
May 12 2026

Feels quite glam rock due to Marks distinctive voice which isn’t exactly my thing but it’s a fun album with a couple of standout tracks. Sounds quite fresh in some ways.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
May 13 2026

I love prog rock but this is a little too esoteric for my tastes. It probably improves with repeated listening. There are a couple of tracks I did enjoy and find interesting. Struggle to see the masterpiece other note on one listen.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
May 14 2026

The rock tracks are powerful. The rock hip hip tracks also. A memorable album.

The Coral by The Coral
May 25 2026

Really quite enjoyed this one. Good variety. Sixties vibe in some places. Catchy tunes. Had never really heard of the Coral before!

Be by Common
May 26 2026

Laid back hip hop, reminded me of US3 or Guru. Clever and smooth.

#1 Record by Big Star
May 27 2026

Sounds fresh... Good rock album, not too hard. Not super memorable but all nice tracks.

Truth by Jeff Beck
May 28 2026

Great blues rock!

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
May 29 2026

I used to think Joni's music was downbeat but this album is completely different. Enjoyable stuff.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jun 01 2026

Very summery, relaxing Jazz. Calming. Melodic.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jul 13 2026

Surprisingly melodic and enjoyable. I thought it would be less poppy. Good album.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 14 2026

Fantastic blues rock, I love LZ. Powerful guitars , drums and a great voice. I feel like I’m in a smoke filled bar listening to this. Brilliant stuff thought maybe not their best album.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jul 15 2026

Funky and cool. A fun listen in places and more like 70s background music in others. The album feels like a soundtrack (which it is) but a good one
