I am the music man. I come from far away and I can play. (What can you play?)
I play the piano. Pia pia piano piano piano – Pia pia piano pia piano

An hour of uninteresting piano playing. Dull!

Lust for LifeIggy Pop

Rated 10/10

What a great album. I only knew Lust for Life and The Passenger but there were a lot of other really good songs on this album. Another one of those albums that I probably should have listened to before now but had never got round to.

I was aware of the Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy connection and you can hear Bowie’s influence on this just like with Lou Reed’s Transformer album. The Berlin years have thrown up some good listens on this list.

Will definitely be giving this a relisten and exploring Iggy further.

Rated 2/10

Started off the album thinking that maybe it wasn’t going to be as bad as I was expecting.

Finished the album realising it was every bit as bad as I was expecting.

Really quite enjoyed a lot of this. Nice to hear something different but also with some good beats and musically a lot was very listenable.

1999Prince

Rated 4/10

Before listening to this album today I was never really a fan of Prince.

And after listening to this album today I’m still not.

Have to confess I’ve never listened to a KoL album until this project. I know the big hits but not the album tracks. Was hoping there would be more to their music than the big hits but this was sadly lacking. Didn’t do anything to make me want to listen to them any more than I did before!

What’s not to like, a very good listen. Maybe not as polished as some later albums but a great variety of sounds and a lot of fun!

Really pleasantly surprised with this one and really enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting to.

Some great tracks on here that I will be listening to again.

If it’s good enough for John Lennon….

What an assault on the senses this was. I really couldn’t tell if I liked it or not. Certain songs were just bonkers but I found myself tapping my toes along to quiet a few.

If nothing else it was great to hear something very different to most of the other stuff on here and made me smile at times. So certainly bonus points for that.
