Welcome to perhaps the most important part of my web site where hopefully my love of music will come over. Music excites, soothes, enriches and even defines thoughts and so it has been with me for more years than I can remember.

So welcome to my music index section where you can access album reviews from 1962 to the present day. Over the coming months I will be increasing this section of my site and reviewing albums that meet one or both of the following criteria.

1/ Albums that mean something special to me - these may not be mainstream and may cover a whole range of styles and categories.

2/ Important albums. I may not necessarily like the artist(s) but I will try to review dispassionately all the main output of major artists.

You will find a number of links on the left hand side of this page. Below are some of the other links, including links to special sections on some of my favourite artists. To see other artists not featured below amongst my true favourites just click on the Historic Album Reviews section.

I POD Lists - Yes I finally got hip with an MP3 player, but not an IPOD. I bought a Creative Zen which is pretty much the same thing. To celebrate I have put together some themed playlists. Read about them here.
