1001 Albums Summary

Classic beats taking you back to better times.

Utterly generic grunge pop, of its time

I know it’s quality and all that, I just don’t enjoy listening to it.

The single stand out (but is dated). The rest is generic DJ mixtape from the early 90s forgettable content. Not great

Of its time but timeless. Huge fun.

Kind of ok. Sure Shot is a fab, classic tune

Dismal tedious prog rock jazz whatever music for chinscratchers

Solid quality music, if not quite as good as Dummy

Classic mid-70s rock. Don't like it, but cant deny its effectiveness at being what it is

Forgive me for I hate it.

Surprisingly listenable Oasis-lite

It’s another Kinks album. Quality but perhaps over-familiar

Efficient, formerly ubiquitous mid-90s R&B. Not my thing, but can’t argue it’s not good at what it does

The start of a new era in music. Dated but essential.

Gosh early 80s hair metal was terrible

Ugh horrible saccharine garbage

Jazzish bluest vocal and piano singalongs. Inoffensive.

Very solid early 70s rock’n’roll

Super assured retro psych/Brit beat debut

However great they became, this is mostly horrific to modern ears

Hasn’t stood the test of time. Boring by numbers hip hop. I remember it as better than it sounds now

Essential

High quality if slightly overfamiliar burbling

The first of a great run of albums.

Top quality, influential punk/post-punk/funk. And a few standout tunes.

Good stuff from essential band. Never really into them but can’t really criticise it’s uniqueness or quality

Beautifully crafted but also smug and soulless. Not much fun

Iron Maiden sounding like Iron Maiden albeit rougher about the edges.

Decent Blur changing track. Some memorable tunes.

It’s good stuff just not my stuff

Hmmm....not as good as I expected

Vile

Great stuff from a band in their prime

Noisy world changing rock n roll

Hate the clash but this isn’t a bad album for a bunch of posh boy pub rockers

Safe middle class parent music. Really well done but not for me

Dismal. How was this ever popular?

Still super fresh US hardcore punk

It has a sound. Leaves me a bit cold mind

Very decent album from very decent band

The origin of FM rock. Very listenable/ as was I think intended.

Patchy but in place great. Nice to encounter something new from the list

In the 70s NY was on fire

Bland unengaging RnB. Inexplicably popular

Top notch angry political tub thumping musically pioneering rap

It’s good and that but not super engaging

Simple fun

Fantastic voice but bland bland production. Decent album though

Classic garage rock and roll

Very decent indeed.

Ugh. Sanitised world music for middle class drones with no imagination and less soul. Horrible

Sweet, inoffensive stuff. Background music at best. But good background music

Blah

Hi quality vintage hip hop

Pretty cool.

Awful reminder of how bad some parts of the 80a s living experience was

Ugh, horrific pedestrian plodding enlivened with what are now rather hackneyed guitar solos. Of its time. Not one to tolerate now.

Better as it ages. Nick Cave-esque

Dull. If you put your thumb over Paul Simon's face, it makes Art Garfunkel look like he has massive moustache

Solid prime era Stones

Apart from Yellow Submarine, one of their best

Plodding, dull. How was this ever a phenomenon?

Dreary but efficient background electronica

Boringly familiar

Quality pop

Just a bit dreary and ordinary really. Clearly influential. But not of anything I particularly like.

Superb folk tunes from one of the best of his era

Solid proto-post-punk. More important than many records of that era

Scott Walker. Nuff said

Great great album

Great but dont like Tom Waits

Yawn

Good stuff again from PJH

Big fab and stupid

hmmm very good also matt get back to work buddy
