Sail Away

Randy Newman

3/5

Enjoyed this. Never listened to a full Randy Newman album before, discovered a few tunes and it was a good listen for a morning's commute

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Heard lots from Nina Simone before, but non from this album. A couple of belters, not much more to say, it's Nina Simone!

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Brilliant, if anything its too short! 5/5

Frank

Amy Winehouse

3/5

Good album, enjoyed the lyrics and her voice obvs is pitch perfect. I think its an album that takes a couple of listens for someone like me who wouldn't usually choose this genre. I get the hype though. 3/5

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Brilliant, as you'd expect. Apart from the 'obvious' i really thought Five Years & It Ain't Easy were awesome 5/5

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Very cool, bluesy swamp rock. Amazing vocals and guitar solos. It's definitely an album i want to go back to soon. Keep On Chooglin is one of the coolest songs ive heard in a while.

A Seat at the Table

Solange

3/5

Good RnB sound, well produced. A couple of good tunes on that id listen to again, lost concentration a couple of times and not an album I'd go back to but only because its not my type of music. Can see why some would really like It. 3/5

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

4/5

Very good, most of the tracks would stand out on any other album. Will keep coming back to listent tho this for sure 4/5

Dirty

Sonic Youth

2/5

Its not a great album, very of its time. Bands with a similar sound that have come since do it much better. Will not be going back. 2/5

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

This is sn album i listened to back in the day and didn't fully appreciate how good they were. Up against Oasis, blur etc I didn't really give them time. This album now proves me wrong, 2000 is in hindsight a classic imo. Will come back and back again. 4/5

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

Very happy seeing this pop up on a miserable Monday morning. Some great tracks, feels fresh still. Loved it for a long time, and always will

Yeezus

Kanye West

3/5

Good hip hop album. Sounds like the start of his Ye years so I will hold that God Complex he has against him. The album was good 3/5

Survivor

Destiny's Child

3/5

First 3 tracks are pop classics. Then bar one more tune, its very samey and tbh, boring.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

Yeh was ok. The cure are better than this album but its an early one so I assume it made a big impact when it came out hence why its in the list. A Forest is excellent

Another great album, a different vibe slightly to the Bayou River but they make the best music 5/5
