28: The Definitive - Alice Cooper

The Definitive Alice Cooper was just what I needed. Something I was familiar with so didn't require too much "getting into". I have seen Alice a few times and obviously listened to lots of tracks all over the place. But surprisingly Don't have (on CD) any albums. So I figured this would fill that gap.

Nothing on this album from Brutal Planet which in my opinion is the best recent offering from an artist who continues to delight audiences on stage. The man is in his 60s and still puts on a world class show.

If you listen to his breakfast show (I'm not kidding, look up planet rock, he is their breakfast show DJ) you will also find out that he is insightful and interesting.

This was a good reminder of his work as he is headlining Friday at the Sonisphere festival at the end of this month.

27: Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da - Rammstein

Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da - Rammstein didn't excite me like I had hoped. They have a good back catalogue and some top tunes. This album... Isn't their best.

I would recommend Live Aus Berlin (live at Berlin). It is a good live album and one I play quite often. This is one of my previously mentioned "10 albums I tend to listen to a lot". As I am seeing the band soon I wanted to listen to their new album.

26: The Libertines - The Libertines

The Libertines Debut (self titled) album was a gift (late birthday). I have to say this is another album I enjoyed that I didn't think I would.

It didn't excite me like some others have done but I did enjoy it. These posts are getting so short as my time diminishes.

Now I'm up to date for this week, I'll just say that my next (or current) album is: Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da - Rammstein.

25: The Definitive Collection 2002 - Stevie Wonder

The Definitive Collection 2002 by Stevie Wonder I didn't listen to enough in all honesty. I was fitting it in before hard rock calling.

I enjoyed it and want to revisit the album for a better listen when the summer festival season is over (I'm craming in stuff for Sonisphere now.

Oh and hard rock calling rocked. Lots of hot sun and cider in the park with top music.

24: Original Pirate Material - The Streets

Original Pirate Material by The Streets Was recommended to me. The only song I knew of by them was "Dry your eyes mate". Which had caused me to comment to my friends "Awwww chavs have feelings too".

In all honesty this album was a LOT better than I thought it would be. It opened my eyes a little. After Paul Oakenfold I was having a nice line of new stuff. Anyway I'm looking forward to listening to the other three albums from them in the future.
