Dust by Screaming Trees is one of those albums I didn't know but sits right in my wheelhouse. #pop #music #album

Norman Fucking Rockwell! By Lana Del Rey. I find listening to this sort of stuff dismal. Horrible sad girl piano indie. #pop #album #music

Some days, things are pretty fricking great. Today is one of those days.

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. Not only is it all the right notes in all the right places but with all the right dynamics. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a jazz record like I did this. Very good. #pop #music #album

1977 by Ash is pure unadulterated power pop and it's great for it. #pop #music #album

Women in Music (part 3) by Haim is a very pleasant pop record. I'd listen again. #pop #music #album

An electro pop classic, Trans Europa Express by Kraftwerk sets the foundation for modern electronic music at the same time has hugely evocative sonic vistas. #pop #music #album

Green River by Creedance Clearwater Revival takes you back to the bayou with it's southern fried rock. Bad Moon Rising is fantastic. #pop #music #album

Truth by Jeff Beck is a blues rock classic and despite the presence of Rod the Mod, I enjoyed it. #pop #music #album

Skeleton Tree by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is a haunting, bleak, ambient soundscape. #pop #album #music

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fatih Ali Khan. I don't really know what to make of this, as I have no context or hinterland for Pakistani or subcontinental music. Definitely interesting. #pop #music #album

Hunky Dory by David Bowie might be overshadowed by Ziggy but it's a mighty good piece of work and Life on Mars is epic #pop #music #album

Room on Fire by the Strokes is tight, decent but lacks that special something of their first album #pop #music #album

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic is nuts. I had no idea what to expect and psychedelic wigout rock was not it. Exceptional stuff #pop #music #album

Now this I like. Daft Punk crossed with thriller. Cross by Justice. House grooves and very french and very cool. #pop #album #music

RTJ4 by Run The Jewels is a cracking hip-hop album. I listened while tired but enjoyed it. #pop #music #album

Get Behind Me Satan by the White Stripes is a bit more complex than standard white stripes stuff. It's alright. Not in the top 1000 albums for me alas but no worries #pop #music #album

Exodus by Bob Marley and the Wailers is just genius. The sound, the songs. Shivers. #pop #album #music

Actually by The Pet Shop Boys is fantastic. Hook-laden synth-pop shot through with social commentary. Id forgotten how good this is. #pop #music #album

Bandwagons by Teenage Fanclub is a lovely proto-Britpop album that I didn't know. Very good. #pop #album #music
