White stripes are so underrated. Awesome album throwback to the 60s and 70s with a modern twist.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

3/5

Jazz not my genre, recognised a few movie scores. Easi listening but won’t be on my rotation

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

5/5

A real blast from the past for this one, brings back memories of parties in dark and dingy houses with the sweet smell of marijuana heavy in the air and couples making out to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. I do find Black Sabbath music to sound the same, but it was refreshing to listen to some of their softer tracks such as changes. I definitely did enjoy it, Black Sabbath were Pioneers and their music shocked our parents who were more used to the Beatles and Rolling Stones.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

5/5

This album highlights how talented west is. I don’t often listen to Kanye, probably he’s more known songs but there is some gems in this.

War

2/5

Bono is an acquired taste, some people never acquire it. I’m in the later group. While their music is ok it baffles me how they got so big,

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

This album really hit the flavour of the 80s. Not the music I listen to back then but the sound is familiar.

Elvis Presley

5/5

Toe tapping hip thrusting, there is a reason Elvis is called the King. My music taste are much more contemporary, but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this album.

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

3/5

Diamond Life

Sade

5/5

One of the best albums ever made. I listened to this one in the 80s until the cassette wore out.Sade has a voice like it’s floating in the clouds

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

5/5

What an album! Buddy were certainly taken too soon and this album is test amount to the talent of this man and his backing vocals band the crickets. Love listening to it love singing along with it.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

This is not the sort of album you listen to at 6 am in the morning, unless your 6 am is a continuation of the night before. One thing I like about this album is that The Voice of Iron Maiden is very easy to hear and understand, you can hear every word unlike a lot of other heavy metal bands.
