Jazz – 50 All Time Overlooked Albums
“Overlooked in the opinion of the author, but very difficult to narrow
down to just 50. These are jazz albums I know well, and in a short time
have grown to love. I came to jazz quite late, but that does not exclude
me from having an opinion. This list is not for the jazz buff – I have
experienced enough of them to know that their list would be deliberately
different and elitist. This 50 is meant for the ordinary person who
discovered Kind of Blue and wants to find out more, but is so intimidated
by jazz that he or she does not know where to go. Having experienced this
painful transition, I know how it feels. Once you get stuck into this, and
assuming you enjoy it, you can hold your head up with confidence”.

Long Forgotten Gems - All Time Top 50
“Some slipped the net, even when first released on vinyl. Many have since
become cult classics but have never sold in any quantity. Others recently
released and deemed unhip should be investigated immediately and
re-appraised. I would not lie to you. Some are yet to be reissued on cd,
or have been included on a decent compilation. All come highly
recommended. Don’t turn your nose up at artists you would normally not
cross the street for. Give it a listen first, then turn your nose up and
fire off a ‘come off it’ letter to me”.

Worst Albums Ever Made – All Time Top 10
“For once your nominations left me under whelmed. Most of the votes were
for popular albums people loved to hate. Top of the list were Oasis’ Be
Here Now, Blur’s Parklife & Suede’s debut. I had to put those votes in the
bin, because they were not generally seen as ‘really’ bad albums”.
Colin Larkin’s personal choice. As he put your votes in the bin! Ask an
opinion and if you don’t like it, ignore it. Has this guy considered
politics?
