BEATLES "revolver" cd 1966
their seventh
this one is full of classic songs and its not even the best Beatles' album
that shows you just how great they were and how far they had come in four short years since "love me do"
weakest track on here for me is "tomorrow never knows" yet the experts love it
album scores 2.5 which means
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
lets go for this Lennon classic:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells II. The best thing ever. I haven't listened to it for a while now that I think of it. Just what was needed to clear the air in my head!

MIKE BATT "tarot suite" cd 1979
his third solo album, a first for me

a concept album based on various cards in the Tarot card set
i played this one several times in the car
very enjoyable album
album scores 2.2 on three or four listens which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

BRIAN MAY "back to the light" vinyl 1992
one of the gifts i purchased for Lynne's birthday today
no need to say who he is
his debut solo album of three
some Queen styled rock, some hard rock, a blistering instrumental and a folkie type tune
the dude never had the greatest voice but boy can he write songs
Brian's version of "too much love will kill you" appears on this album
all up surprisingly good because i didnt know what to expect from a May solo effort
album scores an initial 2.2 which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

KEITH RICHARDS "main offender" cd 1992
second of three solo albums from Keef, i own just one
has all the riffs and sound of the Stones but lacks the voice of Jagger
this sounds like leftovers from the cutting room floor to me
score for this one is 1.4 which means
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

ROGER TAYLOR "outsider" vinyl 2021
one of the LP gifts i gave Lynne for her birthday
Queen drummer/songwriter
his sixth of six solo albums, nineth if you count the three with side project The Cross
well that was interesting but in a good way
some of it was reminiscent to David Gilmour's mellow vocal tones (not musically though)
almost dreamy at times, moreso than i would have expected from him
a couple of guitar driven tracks but nothing like Queen or anyone in particular
sort of had its own little sound which was good
nothing to dislike on here but at the same time nothing i loved after one listen
this gives a score of 2.0 which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
