Meatloaf-Bat Out Of Hell- album 1977

Of course, should be made complusory! I think I came to this album late, maybe in 1980's. Not many radio friendly singles on this.May be I saw an old episode of The Old Grey Whistle Test on TV with Meat Loaf and thought I must listen to the full album. Amazing songs and vocals.

Catch the 'Bat Out of Hell' stage show if you can. I saw it in London a few years ago and I understand it's touring in the UK now.

I am going through a Wes Montgomery binge lately.

This one creeped me the hell out first time I heard it. I was told they were an inspiration for nineties industrial rock bands like Nine Inch Nails and expected something similar. Boy was I in for a nasty surprise! Bizarrely enough, I think it's some of the more immediate music they made, albeit also some of the most disturbing.

Not a fan of Morrisey's fanatical veganism, but this album contains some of The Smith's finest songs. Namely "The Headmaster Ritual" and "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore."

The Sound of Silence: classic song from Simon and Garfunkel, first released in 1964. Many versions available on Albums and Live Concerts over the years. In 2015 it was covered by the heavy rock band Disturbed. Fantastic version with great video, vocals are outstanding with powerful drums.

Not usually a fan of early death metal, but this one rocked. The insane war-focus, and its close ties to Warhammer 40K makes it disturbingly and depressingly relevant.

After recovering from COVID, something weird has happened to me and I've really grown on the Grateful Dead. When I was younger, I dismissed them as hippie music and was baffled at their popularity. The Dead have always had a massive fan following, but now that I'm older and having lived through something that was pure hell, I guess I have a new appreciation for music that brings happiness.

I picked up the Dead's Barton Hall 1977 show and cannot put it down. There is some amazing improvisation and passionate playing in the jams on there.

It took me a few days, and a few listens through, but I've decided that Taylor Swift's Midnights is as great as anything she's done. The synthesizer-heavy soundscape put me off a bit at first, but once you get on its vibe the songwriting and singing are amazing, intricate and self-revelatory classic Taylor.
