Almost as good as Buble

Andre 3000 is up there with Prince, McCartney, Bush, Byrne, Simone etc. Proper genius.

Big Boi does his best.

On the cusp of genius

Another 70s narcissist. One with much more talent though.

Couple of absolute classics. Some schmaltz.

Front cover is what I imagine you get if you ask AI to generate an image of a classic cunt.

Album lived up to expectations.

"The album criticised the Nigerian government; and it is thought to have resulted in the murder of Kuti's mother Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, and the destruction of his commune by the military."

Puts records like Keane's Hopes and Fears into context.

On it

Magical

Fine. Don't think I needed this in my life though.

It's Blondie's Parallel Lines, for God's sake. Instant five for the cover alone.

Gonna try dynamic reviewing.

If the majority consider it a five star classic, inspiring an overlooked generation failed by 15 years of Tory policies, I'll give it three stars for balance and wang on about how Pulp are far superior.

If the majority consider it an uncreative rock plodder for basic lads, I'll give it five stars and hail the charisma of the Gallaghers and their ability to connect with so many people in a meaningful way.

Do we need each mediocre solo project from every 60s/70s western blues rock band?

I probably prefer Can's more immediate, rhythmic, dancey stuff (Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi are amazing). But for proggy, indulgent 70s rock (probably my least favourite genre), this is still pretty awesome and interesting.

Yes we Can.

Not my vibe. Not my tribe.

That cover is well too scary as well. Gonna give me nightmares, man.

Tried so many times to get into Elliott over the years. Some lovely melodies. But I'm really not into that kind of soft, whiny male vocal.

Jimi Hendrix's version of Little Wing is 2 minutes 25 seconds. Clapton's is 5 minutes 33.

I feel like that says a lot about the difference between the two. Jimi knew to leave people wanting more. Clapton gives them it until they're sick of it, then adds another solo on top. Like smoking a whole pack of fags at once then being told to smoke a cigar.

Two out the three most recent artists have been accused of emotional abuse by women.

Maybe a good idea to replace this one with Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers.

Love those vibes

Love a lot of the music. Really put off by the vocals though. And isn't this guy an abuser?

Not my favourite Bruce. That would be Forsyth
