Hippy dippy claptrap

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 18 2026
Tommy by The Who
May 20 2026
Roots by Sepultura
Jun 03 2026

Not my kind of thing. However there were some interesting instruments used, excellent production values and I actually acclimatised my ears so I was eventually able to understand the 'singer' I can say I've heard it and kind of enjoyed it

Ramones by Ramones
Jun 04 2026

Loved this album from many years

American Gothic by David Ackles
Jun 08 2026

An album of good ballads. I could imagine Mr Ackles writing some decent musical theatre... If that's your kind of thing. Which it isn't mine, unfortunately

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 09 2026

No we're talking! Superb vocals, wonderful arrangements. Belting tunes.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Jun 10 2026

New one on me. Great album. Something completely different

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jun 11 2026

Not my favourite Marvin album (What's Going On is the one) but definitely a great album

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jun 12 2026

The kind of music that puts a smile on your face! King Louis put together a truly great album here. I listened to it first thing in the morning and set me right up for the day.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 13 2026

I completely understand why Bruce Springsteen is so popular. I just don't enjoy his work.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jun 14 2026

Why is this one deemed the classic??

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jun 15 2026

It really put a smile on my face when the opening moments of track one came on...

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jun 16 2026

Good debut album by a band I couldn't really care less about.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jun 20 2026

I'm of an age where hearing the n-word makes me extremely uncomfortable - I always have - and the first 30 seconds of this album turned me off the whole thing. Obviously this album was not meant for me. If it was meant for you then more power to you

The Stooges by The Stooges
Jun 21 2026

It would have been five if it wasn't for that 10min dirge

Music by Madonna
Jun 24 2026
Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jun 26 2026

Started okay, but track 2 onwards were atonal nightmares! DNF

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 29 2026
Jul 02 2026

Gangsta rap... Not my thing being white and English. But I suppose, as songs about gun violence go, this was quite good good

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jul 04 2026

There are definitely better albums from British 60s groups, but this one was quite spiffing!

Da Capo by Love
Jul 06 2026

Hippy dippy claptrap

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jul 10 2026

Started off so promisingly, then turned into jazz

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jul 12 2026

Strong lyrics. It appears I can only take so much keyboard playing...

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Jul 19 2026

It was a good album. Will I be listening to the whole thing again? Unlikely

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jul 23 2026

Very much like Iggy Pop & The Stooges, but not as good.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jul 27 2026

I so didn't want to like this album, Clapton being the douchebag that he has become, but there were too many songs I remember that blew me away 35+ years ago when I first heard Key To the Highway, for example. I love this album. No apologies for that.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Aug 04 2026
Kala by M.I.A.
Aug 05 2026

Found it quite monotonous, yet quite enjoyable too.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Aug 06 2026

Not my favourite Kinks album, but some really belting lyrics, unusual instruments and the real sense of an album worth listening to

Vivid by Living Colour
Aug 07 2026

M'eh

Timeless by Goldie
Aug 10 2026

Too much

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Aug 13 2026
Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Aug 14 2026

Just give me the Grateful Dead. Prefer them

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Aug 16 2026

Beautiful
