Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Seminal hip hop but not my thing!

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

Clearly an important album. Again, not my favoured style but I appreciate it for what it is. Shows the importance of listening to the whole album as the instrumental piece gives a extra dimension and meaning.

Play

Moby

2/5

Catchy and pleasant if lyrically limited. 2 star

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

Great 80s indie synth-pop.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

1/5

Pretty awful.

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

1/5

Relatively uninspiring 80s indie-punk rock. The singer isn’t the easiest to listen to. 1

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

4/5

Top level white trash rap! Fantastic!

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

5/5

I already know this is fantastic!

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

A timeless rock classic - but it’s the first time I’ve listened to it all through from start to finish 🙃

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

2/5

Depressingly dull.

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

2/5

Drum and guitar heavy late punk offering with appropriate screamy vocals - a piece of its time.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

3/5

Joyous 1970s funk!

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

1/5

Not really sure what this is supposed to be - it really didn’t speak to me. A bit of an uninspiring mess.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

2/5

Fairly banal 80s soft rock with a small twang of country. Not the most inspiring but not the worst assault on my ears either.

Dirty

Sonic Youth

3/5

Whimsically titled guitar and drum heavy post punk. Relatively agreeable.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

5/5

One of the best albums of all time!

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

One of their better ones…

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

Some classic tracks - especially Synchronicity II - but a few weird tracks knocks it off of a 5.

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

1/5

1980s take on twee easy listening swing-pop.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

2/5

Jazz. I don’t really like jazz. I think this is probably decent jazz but what do I know…

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

2/5

I’m not sure what to make of it… perhaps a paper boat.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

1970 - what a fantastic year. This is a great album befitting of the year of its (and my) birth. A post-psychedelic sashay through folk-rock themes.

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

5/5

Hello - another I know well! Fantastic sound scapes and even as pastiche of Bryan Ferry at one point.

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

2/5

I’m no particular lover of electronica but I was pleasantly diverted by this.

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

3/5

White-boy rap-rock. It’s OK!

m b v

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

I’ve decided that I will make my reviews in quatrains. Here goes: The numbing drone of indie guitars A fitting soundtrack to review your scars Singer quietly croons And understands your wounds.
