Cream - Mother's Lament (Disraeli Gears, 1967)

I'm a bit of a sucker for throwaway and hidden tracks, and this is a favourite of mine and my daughters.

Got me thinking, I might have to organise a #HiddenTracksTop10 challenge.

Day 31: Wildcard

Maxim Vengerov, Kurt Masur and Gewandhausorchester Leipzig - Bruch and Mendelssohn: Violin Concertos (1993)

I'm no classical music buff, but I've loved this since I first heard it about 25 years ago.

Day 31: Any other word starting with J

Faith No More - Jizzlobber (Angel Dust, 1992)

Operatic sludge metal craziness.

Nirvana - All Apologies (In Utero, 1993)

Despondency and sparseness, and quite possibly my favourite Dave Grohl drumming.

Rather unbelievably this will be 30 years old this year.

Monday night pool report. I think the term is having your arse handed to you on a plate. We lost. We lost badly.

Day 30: Album you didn't get as a kid that you like now

Pink Floyd - The Wall (1979)

I like it more than I did, but it's still a work in progress.

Day 29: Album recorded in Europe

Kadavar - Berlin (2015)

Recorded at Candy Bomber Studios, Berlin-Tempelhof, Germany.

Sabbath-esque. I've bought this album for many people over the years. Nothing groundbreaking, but good songcraft and hooks aplenty.

Day 29: Junk

Wang Chung - Space Junk (Everybody Wang Chung Tonight: Wang Chung's Greatest Hits, 1997)

Sometimes I wonder if anyone else remembers Wang Chung. Was torn between this and OMD's "Junk Culture".
