Golf's verdict: Rather enjoyed this, especially the ones with Busta Rhymes.

Maire's verdict: I enjoyed a lot of the tracks but, once again, too bloody long.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! A masterclass in world class songwriting from start to finish (including Dave's contributions, often less heralded) and concluding with 3:15 of absolute perfection in 'Waterloo Sunset'.

Maire's verdict: This has the gorgeous 'Waterloo Sunset' as the final track and that makes it worth the price alone. The rest of the tracks aren't as good but keep you smiling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarkus

Golf's verdict: When people talk of the 1970s being a barren time for music and dominated by pompous prog-rock, I assume that they must mean this? This was a number 1 album in 1971, which is a frightening thought. I have a lot of time for prog, but ELP and Yes seemingly did more than anyone to give it a bad name. Avoid.

Maire's verdict: Nope, not for me. I was irritated by the first track and wasn't that thrilled by the rest of the album.

Golf's verdict: The one with Cheggers and The Hobbit One on it. It's great, but not their best.

Maire's verdict: Kicks off with the 'Cheggers Plays Pop' theme. Nothing really matches it.
