I love Blur.

This album starts really well with Beetlebum, Song 2 and Country Sad Ballad man. 3 great songs

There is some filler on the album like chinese bombs and theme from retro. Apart from that it is a strong indie album. Blur are good, but they are not Oasis!!!

Favourite song: On your own and Beetlebum
Least favourite: Theme from retro
Album artwork: Love the cover

The artist’s name is a mouthful. Great voice and sound though. Very Public Enemy.

My first though was that this is socially well-behaved rap and hip-hop. Nice lyrics and messages. The lyrics on Television, the drug of the nation and Satanic Reverses are amazing. Very important of the time.

Favourite song: Television, the drug of the nation
Least favourite: All tracks were good
Album artwork: OK cover.

What a tune Jigsaw falling into pieces is. Only ever heard that one before from this album so the rest of the album was a suprise to me. I have to be honest It started badly. I really couldn’t stand 15 Step

After the disapointment of track 1 the album improved dramatically with bodysnatchers and then with Nude which I would say is the standard Radiohead sound!!

That said there are some great songs on this album and its a really enjoyable listen, it will be listened to again!

Favourite song: Jigsaw falling to pieces and Bodysnatchers. Great songs.
Least favourite: 15 Step
Album artwork: Great album cover

This album was not for me. It was general punk pop but not very interesting or engaging at all.

Great album cover though!

Probably Lennons best solo album and its his first. You can hear him really creating his own sound here.

Great first 3 tracks. I couldnt remember I found out and loved it. Working class hero has always been one of my faves.

Favourite song: Working class hero.
Least favourite: God and look at me
Album artwork: Love the cover. Great tree!!!!

I have never really liked the Pixies before, but I loved this album. It has some great songs on like Alison and Is she weird.

Its a solid begining to 90s rock, yet slightly repetative after 6-7 songs. You can see Ash, Feeder and other bands like that being really inspired by the Pixies and this album. Its very close to their sound.

Favourite song: Alison
Least favourite: Hang wire and stormy weather.
Album artwork: I love the artwork

High enegery and great start with what we do is secret. Hearing that set the scene for an hour of punk.

After a while it all got very same! I couldnt understand a lot of the lyrics as they got taken over by screaming.

That said the sound is great.

Favourite song: every song was the same and average
Least favourite: same again
Album artwork: I love the cover art

I'm genuinely pretty shocked by how much I loved this album. Its totally brilliant.

I've never listened to OMD before and am now going to have to go on a journey learning all about them.

This album is excellent - lots of changes and difference in the tracks, Its a very good listen.

Favourite song: Sealand and Joan of Arc
Least favourite: Architecture and Morality
Album artwork: Great cover

This album is fun. it started really well with Dog eat dog and antmusic. The lyrics are nuts. I have no idea what this album is about but will listen to it again.

Favourite song: Antmusic
Least favourite: Los Rancheros
Album artwork: Great cover.

It’s a short album but its stunning. Lovely music and beautiful lyrics. I reviewed five leaves left about 3 months ago and didn’t enjoy it at all. I found Drakes voice tough to enjoy.

On this album it really works with the folky guitar sound. I enjoyed this and will listen to it again.

Favourite song: Things behind the sun
Least favourite: Horn
Album artwork: I love the album cover

Awful, I did give it my best go though!!

I did not think I would like this album but I really did. It got 2-3 plays back to back. I have never been a Genisis fan but maybe I need to give them a go.

Favourite song: Family Snap
Least favourite: Lead a normal life.
Album artwork: Love the cover

I’ve listened to this album before, but it’s never clicked with me the way it did this time.

There’s something genuinely moving about The Next Day. It feels reflective, almost haunted in places — Bowie looking back while still pushing forward. “Love Is Lost,” “Valentine’s Day,” and “Where Are We Now?” are all superb. The latter in particular has a fragile, emotional weight that really stays with you.

That said, while it’s a strong and deeply affecting record, I don’t think it quite sits alongside his absolute masterpieces. It’s powerful, but not quite transcendent.

Favourite track: Love Is Lost
Least favourite: I wouldn’t mind if I never heard Heat again — it doesn’t quite land for me.
Album artwork: An iconic cover. The defaced “Heroes” image is bold, clever, and perfectly in keeping with Bowie’s sense of reinvention.

This was OK, Lots of instrumentals. The album has great guitar playing but nothing was exciting on the album.

Favourite song: St Stephen
Least favourite: Feedback
Album artwork: It is a cool cover

I have no idea what is happening on this album. Its like French heavy rock with a touch of pop. its not for me at all.

The album has so moments of dramatic and great music such as Les Enfants but the rest of it is drivle.

Favourite song: Les Enfants
Least favourite: The rest of the album
Album artwork: Cool cover

This is a nice little listen. A great album I will listen to again!!

I really enjoyed my baby and me and Booby McGee, there are some great songs on this album. Mercedes Benz is a classic song and really important. Great and powerful lyrics.

Favourite song: get it while you can.
Least favourite: There is not a bad song on the album
Album artwork: Cool cover and a cool lady.

I had never been a hendrix fan. I enjoyed this album though. The music is amazing. I will relisten to other albums.

Looking at the tracks EXP is not needed. Up from the skies is an excellent song and I really enjoyed Spanish castle magic.

Favourite song: If 6 was 9 and up from the skies.
Least favourite: EXP
Album artwork: Love it

Not for me at all.

I was genuinely pleased to see this come up on a sunny summer weekend. I recently saw The Who at the Royal Albert Hall and they played a section of Tommy songs. It sounded incredible live and reminded me just how powerful this material can be on stage.

Tommy will probably never top Who’s Next for me, but it deserves huge credit. It is ambitious, theatrical and tells a complete story. As a concept album it is bold and imaginative, and when it works it really works.

There are some brilliant songs here. Pinball Wizard is an absolute classic and I’m Free has that uplifting, defiant energy that The Who do so well. The peaks are very high. That said, there are moments that feel like filler and slightly disrupt the flow.

Favourite song: Pinball Wizard
Least favourite: A few of the linking tracks feel unnecessary
Album artwork: Iconic and instantly recognisable, perfectly matching the scale of the project

Not bad but not something I would listen to again. I'm not a big hip hop/rap fan but I can see this album is good in that genre

I enjoyed Crompton. Maybe that is the Dre Dre influence.

Favourite song: Crompton
Least favourite: A lot of the songs are just the same
Album artwork: Not for me
