The Zombies - Odyssey And Oracle (1968)

Highly regarded as one of the treasures of the psychedelic 60s this is not really doing it for me at the moment.

Various Artists - AK79 (1980)

This fantastic compilation of Auckland punk, circa 1979(ish), is a treat for NZ music historians and rock’n’roll lovers. There’s early iterations of bands that went on to greater fame, and much higher production standards, but their brilliance is well in evidence.

Various Artists - Why Can't I Be You? (2021)

Mojo Presents A Tribute To The Cure. There’s no doubt about it, the Cure wrote a ton of brilliant songs, this Mojo Magazine compilation proves it.

The Gordons - The Gordons (1982)

This band is renowned for being the loudest band that ever existed. While my stereo can’t do it justice, extreme volume would let these seven humongous tracks breath/bleed accordingly.

Midnight Oil - Countdown Album (1983)

Affectionately known as the “Countdown Album” (let’s face it, it flows off the tongue a lot easier than “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1”), this absolute stonker from the Oils is one of the great records of the 80s.
