I listened to this as a teen. I think my aunty Vees had a copy. I always found her accent grinding. But I am appreciative of the strong storytelling. I was surprised to find I knew all the words.

Opening bars sound good. As a jazz-hater, dunno how this is gonna go. Bring on the pain I guess. Update: I have not hated this as much as I thought I would. I'm kinda into the crowd enjoying it too

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

I love(d)Aerosmith, probably not my fav album of theirs. I like the slightly bluesy tracks. Unfortunately, I struggle to remove the art from the paedophile

Odelay

Beck

1/5

I feel like I've wanted to like Beck a lot more throughout my life. But I do not like this album. I have attempted it once before and it just does not sit right with me. I'm hanging out for it to end.

Neil Young

4/5

I am glad that I read wiki article first as I could understand the feel of the album. I liked it.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

I didn't hate this album. I think I might've heard it historically as my ex used to have it on vinyl. Not to bad, certainly not the whole RAAAAASTAmon thing I was thinking I was going to hear

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

I don't think I had heard this album before today (likely might've). I feel like the influence of The Beatles ins massive in this album. I had to freshen up on The Beatles timeline to get a grip on how this sound fit in with their musical journey.

Kimono My House

Sparks

5/5

Unreal. I am absolutely adoring this album and sound. I think I've uncovered a band that is very much my taste that I haven't given any love to before. The falsetto is divine. The lyrics are funny and great. I can't wait to hear more. Funny timing as Sparks are playing in my town next week but I am unable to go. I would've loved the chance to see the live.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

What a time to release a debut. I think the rise of social media at that point, the importance of indie really worked in their favour... In light of that, fucking amazing album. Epic, sure it's a bit samesey, but I still think it captures such a great sounds and moment in musical time.

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

3/5

I hadn't heard of The Pretty Things before (I don't think!) Enjoying the first track. A very 1968 sounds. Hearing a lot of The Beatles influence in Track Two (Fly to the Moon). I kinda wish I had've discovered this album like 15 years earlier when I was a little more into this style of music. Grateful to have come across it though. Cool to know it was the first rock opera though - I dig that kinda creative story-tewling

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

1/5

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

pretty epic opener with Baba O'Riley. When I was growing up I only thought of The Who as the guy with the nose and My Generation. But this song is pretty damn iconic. BUT - I do now hate the UFC and this track is synonymous with UFC in my brain, ugh annoying. I love the cover art too.

Chelsea Girl

Nico
