The Stooges by The Stooges
The debut album from The Stooges. Not a favourite of mine but it’s still worth a listen every now and again. It’s one of those “formative” albums I think — being described as “proto-punk” on wikipedia. The short run-time (about 34 minutes) works great for me as a short-sharp punch of energetic music. 488/500

Back to Mono (1958–1969) by Phil Spector
A large collection of songs produced by Phil Spector between 1958 and 1969. A lot of them I recognised from their covers by other artists over the years, along with the many that have since been used / lifted for adverts. I absolutely loved this whole collection. I enjoyed delving into the late 50s and…

Heart Like A Wheel by Linda Ronstadt
A breath of fresh air after the previous album in the top 500 list. 490/500

Harry’s House by Harry Styles
well. I made it to the end. Honestly didn’t care for most of it. But the last song “Love of my Life” wasn’t too bad. 491/500

Nick of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Somewhere, on a desert road in U.S.A, is a dusty drinks bar about to erupt into a fight. This album playing on the jukebox. I got vibes of my distant memories of the film Road House. No sure how accurate that is. Favourite Songs: Love Letter Real Man The Road’s my middle name 492/500

Nice, wholesome 60s music. Featuring a bunch of songs I, and no doubt most people, have heard throughout their lives. Favourites: (The Best Part Of) Breakin’ Up 494/500

Nightflight to Venus by Boney M
Funky as f*ck. I took a sidestep from my top 500 album countdown with this absolute banger of an album (maybe it appears higher on that list) Every song is golden. I can’t believe ive been enjoying the song Rasputin all these years without hearing it in the context of the album. The opening song…

II by Boyz II Men
495/500 Hot on the heels of Shakira’s album earlier, comes Boyz II Men’s II album. Pretty chill this one. It seemed to melt into the background as I was working. All in all pretty relaxing. Would recommend.
