TSR&#x27;s One Album a Day Club

Blondie - Parallel lines

Not bad. Not great though, 6/10

Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow

After listening to this I went and listened to White Rabbit again and maybe that boosted my impression of the album because it was one that I recognised and I liked it a lot. But then I had another look through the songs and I realised... I hardly remember these!
I also didn't check the track listing and listened to four bonus tracks. Kind of a shame because I thought In The Morning was a highlight.

7.5/10

Before I bother the Section Leader to set up a poll for #90, is there any interest in doing the 1950s as a decade (with or without the unpicked options being added to the backlog), aside from my own? If not, we could revisit another decade? Idea suggestions for #100 also welcome. :yep:

The Poets of Rhythm - Practice What You Preach

Some tracks towards the end were a bit boring but otherwise very good. 8/10

Adding Talking Heads - Remain In Light to the backlog, though I'm swiftly running out of artists. :ahee:

Boney M. - Nightflight To Venus

Nightflight to Venus - Decent intro. Great drums, and I do love an oldschool robot voice! :yy:

Rasputin - Phenomenal. :yy:

Though I do prefer the energy of Turisas' cover.

Painter Man - Catchy! :yy:

He Was a Steppenwolf - Not bad, but more suited to the dance floor than to casual listening.

King of the Road - Brings back childhood memories of road safety adverts. :laugh:

Original lyrics are alright.

Rivers of Babylon - Another big hit, and deservedly so. :yy:

Voodoonight - Spooky. :yy:

Brown Girl in the Ring - Didn't know they did this!

Never Change Lovers in the Middle of the Night - Fantastic. :yy:

Heart of Gold - Nice. :yy:

7/10 from me.

Just remembered an album that I thought about suggesting quite a while ago so I'll suggest it now since the backlog is running low: Racine Carrée by Stromae. I think that's the first non-English one since the Icelandic one

Listening to Practice What You Preach now

Reply 753

I don't know that there are any albums I listen to that we haven't had (or had albums from the same artist).

Reply 754

Oh and maybe High Visceral, Pt. 1 by the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. Yes that is their name.

Reply 755

Have we had You've Come a Long Way Baby (Fatboy Slim)?

Reply 756

Practice What You Preach felt more like background music. I might play it again just for that purpose simply because funk is quite nice. 7/10.
Is this the first time there hasn't been a wikipedia entry for a band or album?

Reply 757

I'll add the new suggestions to the backlog now. :yay:

Santana - Supernatural was about 50% Spanish. :moon:
