This is an odd album!!
Its like a cross between a Disney soundtrack and a Chrismtas album an album I want to not like but it is then saved with some great tunes on it.
I loved Dont tell me your troubles, you win again and Born to Lose but around those tracks there was a lot of filler.
Favourite song: Dont tell me your troubles
Least favourite: Midnight
Album artwork: Cool cover
Rated 8/10
What an album, It has all the Blondie staples and then great tunes to discover like Picture this and pretty baby. Blondie has a great sound and Debbie Harry has an iconic voice.
I rediscovered Sunday Girl and 11:59, so thank you to this challenge.
Favourite song: Heart of glass, one way or another or hanging on the telephone
Least favourite: Fade away and radiate
Album artwork: Really cool cover
Rated 4/10

Its a fun album. Lots of funk and happy music. Average hip hop, will probably never listen again
Rated 8/10
This album is very good. I was suprised as I have not enjoyed other Pixies albums.
This will be listened to again and again. This album has a collection of great tunes like here comes your man, debaser and monkeys gone to heaven. Fun songs with great music and lyrics. Its a solid 4/5 for me.
Favourite song: Monkeys gone to heaven and Mr Grieves
Least favourite: all songs are worth a listen
Album artwork: great cover. works well with the overall theme
Rated 6/10

Rated 6/10
This is a really easy listen, classic hip hop and classic early 90s. Enjoyed in the background this morning and then listened to again in detail.
Great beats. Maybe I like hip hop as I have enjoyed a few of these albums now.
Favourite song: What
Least favourite: all good songs.
Album artwork: Cool cover
Rated 2/10
Music to have on in the background but nothing more. I have nothing really to say about this apart from this is why this project is amazing as I would have never listend to this otherwise.
In summary 1 hour of solo piano playing is boring!!!
Rated 2/10
I couldnt get into this album at all. The songs did nothing for me. I couldnt really pull out a genre and what the album was trying to do.

This album is fantastic. I have played it 3 times in a row very early on a Saturday morning making this a great start to the weekend.

Rated 4/10
This is my first proper listen to King Crimson, a band that comes with a big reputation, especially with fans like Nick Cave.
It’s easy to hear why. In the Court of the Crimson King is a bold, game-changing prog rock album that feels very different to anything else from its time. The musicianship is outstanding, and when it hits, it really hits. 21st Century Schizoid Man is explosive and chaotic in the best way, while Epitaph is a brilliant, more emotional and atmospheric track.
For me, though, it leans a bit too heavily into the instrumental sections. While they show off the band’s talent, they can drag at times and take away from the overall flow. It’s a very good album, but not quite a great one for me.
Favourite track: Epitaph
Least favourite track: Moonchild
Album artwork: Mental cover, really striking and memorable
Rated 4/10
I don't know much Emmylou Harris, I heard some of the tracks she did with Robert Plant and was never a fan. A legend of folk, the only problem is im not a folk fan!!
Chilled music, nothing stands out and nothing is horrible. Its a very biege album.
Favourite song: Nothing stands out
Least favourite: Nothing was horrific
Album artwork: A little scary
Rated 10/10
One of Bowie’s finest records — I absolutely love it.
From the opening bars of “Young Americans”, you know you’re hearing something special. It’s one of my all-time favourite Bowie songs: soulful, dramatic, and packed with energy. Considering this was such a bold shift in direction — stepping away from glam rock into what he called “plastic soul” — it’s remarkably close to perfection. A completely new sound, and yet it feels effortless.
The album is full of belters. “Fame” has that slinky groove and bite, while “Fascination” keeps the momentum going with pure rhythm and swagger. There’s confidence all over this record — Bowie reinventing himself again, and making it look easy.
Favourite tracks: Fame and Young Americans
Least favourite: Honestly, there isn’t one — it’s strong throughout.
Album artwork: An amazing cover. Sharp, stylish, and perfectly in keeping with this soulful new era.
Rated 10/10
Great album. Ska music at its best
The album is just full of bangers. absolutley brilliant.
Favourite song: Gangsters, what a track that is!! Do the dog is also a little favourite and great live.
Least favourite: They are also classics.
Album artwork: Iconic cover
Rated 4/10
Generic hard rock. the sound of everything that was wrong in the 80S.

Album artwork: I wouldnt hang it up at home
Rated 2/10
This was always going to be a tough listen for me. I have never been a fan of Pink Floyd, so coming into Syd Barrett’s solo work I was already on the back foot.
“Terrapin” felt like a very flat opener. It reminded me of a weaker Beatles outtake rather than something distinctive in its own right. From there, the album never really grabs hold. The loose, fragmented feel might be part of its charm for some, but to me it just sounds unfinished and meandering.
I can understand why people are fascinated by this record. There is a vulnerability and fragility to it, and knowing the story behind Barrett adds weight. But purely as a listening experience, I found it dull and difficult to stay engaged. It is a one out of five for me.
Favourite song: None stood out.
Least favourite: The album as a whole just does not work for me.
Album artwork: A really cool and striking cover. Easily the most memorable part of the package
