"Some say they saw him down in Birmingham, sleeping in a boxcar going by. And if you think that you can tell a bigger tale, I swear to God you'd have to tell a lie."
Listening to this is like entering one of those weird antique shops that smells of incense full of religious imagery and wooden statues with an creepy old hippy woman at the counter.
Favourite Tracks: Swordfishtrombone, In The Neighborhood, Shore Leave, 16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six, Frank's Wild Years, Town With No Cheer [First added to this chart: 02/03/2017]

"Sweetheart, sweetheart, are you fast asleep? Good, ‘cause that’s the only time that I can really speak to you."
This album gets a lot of hate for being more of a Roger Waters solo album than a Pink Floyd one, but it's still a really good album.
Favourite tracks: When The Tigers Broke Free (Bonus track from the 2004 re-release), The Gunner's Dream, Paranoid Eyes, The Post War Dream, The Final Cut [First added to this chart: 02/03/2017]

"Another suburban family morning, grandmother screaming at the wall. We have to shout above the din of our Rice Krispies, we can't hear anything at all."
It doesn't start out great, but the string of songs from Synchonicity II to Tea In The Sahara is flawless.
Favourite tracks: Every Breath You Take, Syncronicity II, King Of Pain, Wrapped Around Your Finger, Tea In The Sahara [First added to this chart: 01/08/2017]
