This set of recordings come from a series of concerts Paul Kelly did in the 2000s. Over 4 nights he would perform 100 of his tracks, in alphabetical order. These are generally stripped back versions that help to emphasise the stories in the lyrics. So many amazing songs. Some, like "How to Make Gravy" and "Everything's Turning to White" make me tear up every time. Kelly actually gave many (all?) of these away for free to his mailing list over a whole year in 2008, but it is great to see these packaged together properly - along with "the longest cd liner notes ever", his memoir "How to Make Gravy", which is also awesome.Prince Purple RainPrince The Hits/The B-SidesU2 The Joshua TreeU2 Achtung Baby4.5 superbArcade Fire FuneralArctic Monkeys Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm NotBarren Cross Atomic ArenaBarren Cross State of ControlBen Folds Ben Folds LiveAdore this album.

Fantastic.The Butterfly Effect ImagoThe Clouds Penny CenturyMy favourite Aussie band in the 90s (who have recently reformed and recorded new music). Fantastic, jangly pop, with sweet harmonies. Can rock out surprisingly hard live.

I shortly thereafter moved on to Maiden, Metallica and Vengeance, but for a while this was mind blowing.Bride Live to DieBride Kinetic FaithA softer, mellower sound for Bride, but very well done.Bride Snakes in the PlaygroundAnother excellent hard rock album, just a tick above kinetic faithColdplay A Rush of Blood to the HeadCrowded House Temple Of Low MenCrowded House Special Edition Live AlbumCrowded House Crowded HouseCrowded House WoodfaceGang of Youths Go Farther in LightnessGotye BoardfaceGuns N' Roses Use Your Illusion IGuns N' Roses Use Your Illusion IIINXS The SwingINXS Listen Like ThievesJJ Grey & Mofro Brighter DaysThis was recommended to me by a friend and I am so happy she did! Soulful, rocky, gritty and a whole lot of fun. I've only had a quick listen to their studio albums, but the live setting is rawer, more fun and JJs voice sounds better with the extra grit.

Extremely catchy, enjoyable and uplifting. I love the honesty of "war zone" and the message of "Where I belong".Coldplay X&YColdplay Viva la Vida or Death and All His FriendsDead Letter Circus The Catalyst FireHockey Dad Blend InnIron Maiden Iron MaidenJames Bay Chaos And The CalmJoss Stone Introducing Joss StoneJoss Stone Mind, Body & SoulJoss Stone The Soul Sessions Vol. 2Some great tracks on here, although overall I didn't dig it as much as Soul Sessions I. These songs are often too smooth - I love Joss when she gets grittier, like in "Power to the People". Other stand out songs for me were "The Love We Had Stays On My Mind" and "The First Taste of Hurt". Wasn't a fan of "Pillowtalk" & didn't feel anything was added to "Don't Wanna Be With Nobody But You" that Wendy Matthews hadn't already done.Karnivool Sound AwakeKarnivool ThemataMadness Madness - The Very Best OfGreat nostagic look back through their entire history. The classic hits are awesome (Our House, Baggy Trousers, House of Fun etc.), the early tracks get you moving (One Step Beyond, Night Boat to Cairo, The Prince etc), new songs like Death of a Rude Boy are suprisingly good and overall it is just fun!Metallica Kill 'Em AllMidnight Oil Red Sails in the SunsetMotley Crue Shout at the DevilMuse The ResistanceNeko Case Middle CycloneParamore All We Know Is FallingParamore Brand New EyesPowderfinger Double AllergicPowderfinger InternationalistPrince BatmanPrince Graffiti BridgeRage Against the Machine The Battle of Los AngelesSarah Blasko As Day Follows NightSnow Patrol Final StrawSplit Enz True ColoursSpoon Ga Ga Ga Ga GaStryper No More Hell To PayFantastic return to form for Stryper, after many years in the wilderness.

It jumped so wildly (and badly) from genre to genre. Of course, then I remembered the title... Having read the review above, obviously I wasn't the only one who thought the opening track was a Eurovision audition, or that the track with Chris Cornell was a highlight. 4-6 of these tracks are excellent, the rest is a mess.r1.5 very poorArctic Monkeys Tranquility Base Hotel and CasinoMetallica St. AngerThe New Power Generation Newpower Soul
