No album #214 for #DansDiscSlog so straight to album #215

The Isley Brothers - 3 + 3

A smooth, soulful album that is crammed full of hits. You can't really go wrong with this one.

Album #213

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Darklands

A band I've only really delved into in the last 18 months but I like everything I've heard so far.
Their mix of Goth-Rock come Jangle-Pop come Psychobilly come Shoegaze is unique and really good.

Album #212

Finley Quaye - Maverick A Strike

Loved this album when it came out. But Quaye's success seemed to burn fast and bright and soon you didn't really hear much about him anymore.

Make no mistake though, this album is still really good.

Album #211

Eagles - Hotel California

A triumph of songwriting craft.
There isn't much that challenged the popular styles of the day, but its excellently crafted music, lyrics and harmonizing style more than makes up for a lack of innovation.

Album #210
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

Pretty unique album. Smooth funk but interrupted by a lot of randomness. An experimental, almost psychedelic funk.

Album #209

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill

Got a lot of recent airplay in the debut list (despite technically not being a debut) but happy to return to it.
Not A1 tier but an albums that still keeps a high standard up. Pretty much all bangers.

Album #208

Slayer - Reign in Blood

The content is just plain weird, the thrash style is so intense it is hard to distinguish one song from the next, yet somehow this is excellent.

If you like thrash metal, I imagine you'll love this

Album #207

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

I'm often critical of prog rock going too far and becoming self-indulgent. Pink Floyd themselves are guilty of that on some albums.
But this is perfectly pitched and deserves its status as an all time classic.

Album #206

Rush - 2112

I continue to not get Rush, or this style of music. But I can tell that for this style it is well put together.
No objections from me, but it doesn't do anything for me at the same time.

Album #205
Public Image Ltd - Public Image: First Issue

I'm quite vocal about not enjoying The Sex Pistols but this seems like a big step forward to me for Lydon.
Musically diverse with a strong vein of early post-punk. A more mature release.
