Bouncy folk-rock with an charming roughness. But I had to skip Fairytale; I've heard that song far too many times and I hate how overexposed it is. It's probably the weakest track on the album as well.

Lovely jazz, less showy than Miles Davis.

Jazz-blues, blues-jazz. Definitely an influence on Led Zep. Annoying bonus tracks on Spotify.

I always assumed this came out in the 80s, but it makes sense in the mid-70s, exactly halfway between Dylan's folk heroism and swaggering stadium rock. Born to Run is a terrific ode to the small towns where the American dream has come to die.

Incredibly entertaining.

Finally! I've found a U2 album that doesn't make me want to stab my ears out.

Very Tim Burton-esque soundscapes. Their formula wears a little thin in the middle, but the album is better than I remember it.

Great fun

Dour

Very chilled out folk, occasionally dark and deep.

A nice sound, but it gets a bit samey after a while.

Great country music for Lego building with my son on a Saturday morning.

Short, sharp bursts of funk. I'm generally not a fan of live albums, but this one's worth a listen just to hear the sheer amount of fervour Brown generated.

Solid

Very late-90s; watery.

Very much of its time, still quite fun though.

Boring 80s pop

The Cure before they discovered the playfulness that gave them hit singles.

Honestly just the blandest thing I've ever heard. If a yogurt made a sound this would be it.

Hmm yeah, kind of not really my thing. I remember it being very fashionable to like this though. Maybe I need to see the film.
