ROUND 6… 5’s
06... Grimes - Art Angels (2015)… 3.5*
05… Idlewild - Warnings / Promises (2005)… Very good album and some extremely beautiful moments, very happy that you changed it… After checking my 2005 list, this is now my number 2… 4.5*
04… Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love (1985)… Her best album in my opinion. I like Kate but I rarely listen… 5*
03… Pulp - A Different Class (1995)… One of the best albums of the decade… 5*
02… Queen - A Night At The Opera (1985)… It’s the only album by Queen that I love… 5*
01… Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited (1965)… I find it difficult with Dylan albums, several that I rank highest I pretty much chop and change order often bar ‘Nashville Skyline’ (probably because it’s the least taxing), this is a really tight top three… 5*
From my first placings…
06… Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell (2015)… It’s a nice album and not taxing in any way, sometimes it’s just what you need… A weak year in my opinion… 4.5*
05… Supergrass - Road To Rouen (2005)… This one as grown on me… 4.5*
04… Pulp - A Different Class (1995)… Worthy as one of the best of its era… 5*
03… Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks (1975)… It’s not my favourite Dylan album and the gap between this & Queen was wafer thin … Still not sure if I made the correct decision. so, so close… 5*
02… The Beatles - Rubber Soul (1965)… Even though ‘Drive My Car’ is one of my least favourite Beatles songs ‘Rubber Soul’ it’s up there with their best… It hurts to put this 2nd… 5*
01… The Head On The Door - The Cure (1985)... Until ‘Disintegration’ came along this was my favourite Cure album… Around 85-86 I made many bus journeys between Nottingham and Doncaster, this was often my choice of listening for that journey… 5*
R6… 80’s… 6pts, 60’s… 5pts 70s… 4pts, 90’s… 3pts., 00s… 2pts, 10s… 1pt…
