Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Back when I was in college, there was this dude who would come into the bar I worked at on a Friday night and play fucking 10 Neil Young songs in a row. He would also hit on girls by doing magic tricks. I remember how angry I got every time he made me listen to an hour of Neil Young because I was just trying to have a good time, and he fucking made me listen to this sad, soppy fuck who writes nothing but songs that sound indistinguishable from each other and never seemed to enjoy a happy moment in his entire like. Fuck that guy, and fuck Neil Young.

Shack
Another British pop album so important that the only sentence under the Legacy tab in Wikipedia is the one noting that it is on the 1001 albums list. I understand that sometimes you need a bit of distance between an album and the review to gain perspective on it, but that's exactly why it shouldn't be on this list.
It's a late 90s pop album that sounds like a late 90s pop album. It's fine, but indistinguishable from a hundred other albums that came out in the same era. It's not special or groundbreaking or technically outstanding in any way. Why not throw a couple of Days of the New or Stabbing Westward albums on here while we're wasting everyone's time?

Eric Clapton
There are a lot of ways in which I detest Eric Clapton as a person, since he has the audacity to be a racist while ripping his entire career off of Black American blues musicians. Listening to this album provided a unique opportunity to see how empty his skill set really is. He is an excellent guitar player. This is a cover album that rarely features his skills as an instrumentalist because I guess he wanted to show off his skills as doing uninspired cover versions of popular songs. His version of Hand Jive is most appropriate for a funeral, since I don't see how anyone could enjoy dancing to it. I Shot The Sheriff is a cover I had to hear constantly in my youth, and now I spend hours trying to explain to my therapist why I harbor so much anger towards an over-rated artist being covered badly by an even more over-rated artist. Listening to Clapton try and fail to do anything interesting with a song that already didn't have much going for it is the audio equivalent of watching a scrambled porn channel back in the 90s only to realize that the show you were trying to watch was a scrambled cooking show the whole time.
Eric Clapton is proof that heroin doesn't turn every musician into a brilliant artist.

Randy Newman
How? How is there more than one Randy Newman album on this list? I haven't gotten a single John Coltrane album, not a single Charles Mingus album, but I have now gotten two Randy Newman albums.
Fuck Randy Newman. His voice sounds like an inflatable bear with a slow leak. It sounds like Satan talking after inhaling helium. It is the auditory version of sitting down too long until your sciatic nerve falls asleep.
The worst part of any Randy Newman song is all of the fucking Randy Newman.
2/5. The only reason this is not a 1 is because I kinda like You Can Leave Your Hat On. Fuck Randy Newman

Sinead O'Connor
It's pretty hard to think of an artist who was done dirtier in their time that Sinead O'Connor. Her career was destroyed because she ripped up a picture of the pope to protest the Catholic Church protecting pedophiles, and yet she herself was a victim of the church, as were thousands and thousands of other people world wide. She was 100% right and had so much shit talked about her.
So anyway, the album. It's good. Not particularly my style of music, but her voice is great, and there's a lot of gravity to her songs. Nothing Compares 2 U is a fucking banger for such a depressing song. It's also nice that she can mix things up with more upbeat songs like Jump in the River. Using a loop from James Brown's Funky Drummer was a nice touch (I also hadn't realized before this that the same loop was used in Scarlett Begonias by Sublime). Overall a really good listen from an artists who should have had a much bigger career
