loving this. Bonkers and I can see why it is in the Top 1001 album's

I assumed that they were a one hit wonder band and that this would be fairly meh...but I was wrong! This is a gloriously daft and superbly unself conscious album . They throw in all the metal tropes and make it work . you can feel the genuine love and affection for the music, style and genre and it is great.

not available on Spotify?

That's a nope from me

Inoffensive. Not sure why it is 1001 best albums. Ok but MOR background music for me

Enjoyed this. Not sure how I missed it first time but reminded me very much of the time. Counting crows and G n R in there in places

Good. Nice version of my generation

Brilliant. Absolute classic

It's Amy

Not changed my mind about the Beatles. Liked the Ringo song best.

Wish I knew this at the time

I liked it but due to all the pastiche pisstakes of the 60's hippie s singing about fairies and trolls it is a little hard to take seriously today

loving this. Bonkers and I can see why it is in the Top 1001 album's

I liked it. Would listen again. Didn't sound as 60's as I thought it would

ok. Unlikely to listen again

interesting dance album. Sounds almost 80' in places. Will need another listen i think

Who have i never heard these before. Proper punk! Would love to see them live . Bit of a Jam vide in there as well.

That's a nope from me

Ok. Not something I would normally listen to. I think a a quiet boozy pub would fit this well

Nostalgia trip. Reminded me of being 40

Couple of good songs and she has a lovely voice but not one to go on regular play for me.

Great album. Always forget how mellow and melodic it is.

Not by bag

I liked it. Lots of classics on this one

Classic

Needs another listen

Ok. Nice voice. Glad I listened to it but probably wont go looking for more

Inoffensive. Not sure why it is 1001 best albums. Ok but MOR background music for me

Heavier and more metal than I thought. Really liked it. Will listen again

its certainly not disco bee gees! Inoffensive but fairly dull.

l Like it. Might actually make me give Dylan more of a chance

Like it

Like this. Was going to pass but thought i would give it a try and glad i did

Great album. Nice to go back to it.

Interesting fusion of different musical styles. Will come back to this one

I liked it. I wouldn't have usually listened to this but now i will be seeking out more by this artist

Sounds like a poor impression of Bowie

Needs more listening

I like this a lot. Wish i had found it many years ago. i will investigate TheThe further.

I was expecting something way more ground breaking. It was ok

Really liked this. very mellow and just the right side of full cheese.

Like this a lot. This will be on the playlist

Bit much

Not something I would have listened to before but I liked it

Like it alot

I like this. nice and chilled and good for working. Classical music for people who dont like classical music.

Not heard this which is a surprise to me. I love the cure but i wouldn't put this a the top of my go to list

ok. Not ground breaking for me. Not going to search out anything else by them to be honest

its dizzee.

This was good. assumed they were a UK band but not so much!

Like it

Took me back to my youth. Still holds up

Definitely going to find more by this guy

I like this . Soulful and funky. definite re listen

Nice bit of fokk

Can beat a bit of disco. Stone cold classics. Love the extra remixs

Still good

good if you need a bit of rock

wish i had been into this at the time

Like this one alot

Loved hearing this and properly listening to all the tracks. Great album

Definition of easy listening

ggod

Needs another listen

Sounds cliché now but ok work music

it was ok but wont be back

Like this.

I like it. Random blues world music vibe

ok. would listen to it again.

its the 80's but in a melancholic way

Love this. Not sure it should work but it does and gets better with age

Really like this. Part Cult, Alarm, Prefab, Hot house all together. My 80' in a nutshell - simpler times and music.

didnt relise it was this album. i like it alot

definition of bubble gum pop. Didnt realise that wrote 'are lips are sealed with FB3

surprisingly good , punky and shouty. will listen to more of their stuff

I like this a lot. Definitely getting more into the Jazz vibe as I get older..

got bored

nothing specil. nice bit of fret wanking but thats about it

Classic tracks sung by a great singer. What's not to like

not working for me.

very chilled. On my favourite list

Its ok. I think I was too old for this to have the desired impact when it came out. Musically very good but doesn't grab me like original punk did.

Love this. Took me back to a simpler time when both my hair and weed were plentiful!! Definitely be returning to this again.

Nice 50's vibe. Will listen again

Nothing special ok as background

nice enough. not one to go back to

not available on Spotify?

takes me back to my youth. Will give it another listen

ok R and b with a jazz influence.

it was fine

One of my all time favourite albums

ok

i might not like his politics but this is still a good album

intresting. worth a re listen

Some classics on this. Took me back. Definitely going to get more listens

Good album just a shame he is a bit of a cunt

intresting mad shit going on here. Can see why its a must listen

Ok. Some nice tunes on there

Love the Smiths

its ok. not a massive Beatles fan and this didn't change my mind

lie this a lot and will certainly revisit

I like this. Not a classic but interesting and showed that Bowie still had something to say

ok some good tunes

some classics on there. Glad i listened to this.

I liked this. It has an obvious 60's vibe but also some of it sounds very contemporary and some interesting use of mixing and cutting. glad i listened to this.

it was ok. not my bag particularly.

Its Blur

ok but not very memorable

nice album

sounds like Neil Hannon which is not a bad thing

ok

only listened to a bit. Nice enough

some great tunes on here that is didn't know came from Jungle bros. will do more investigating

cant beat a bit of Rod

Still stands up as a great album

great album. Can really hear the bowie influences but still stands up.

Really liked this. Interesting and melodic and thoughtful and thought provoking. I will listen again and seek out more

love it. No idea what they are singing but love Spanish/South American music

suitable odd

like this alot v ambient

it is what it is. nice enough but not by bag especially

very chill. worth another listen

ok.

Classic.

Couple of good tunes but still not having the love for the Beatles

liked this. intresting mix of sounds

love it

it is what it is. growls...melody...growls...melody...repeat

Sounded like a 60s movie montage soundtrack. Ok but wont be back.

great tunes. takes me back

Lovely bit of piano jazz

it was good to hear some old tracks again

like it

it the ramones

No idea what to expect but this is awesome. so many great tunes. Will be listening to this again many times.

not sure what this is but i like it. Rock, avante guard, shoutness with plinky plunky bits.

ok but not really top of my list

like it more funky and weird than expected.

ok

remembered the hits but many i had never heard. Ok but not a classib

like this a lot all sorted of different genres and sounds coming out here.

nothing special

I liked it. It was a good 80's reminder

Ok but a bit more 'operaish' than i had expected. i am sure it would be better having seen the film but none of the songs seems to be given the space to get going.

ok. didnt rock my world

pretty cool

they had a vey unique sound that conjures up dark and brooding places but without the gloom of the goths

Pleasant bit of Country

great album

better tunes than I thought there would be. Very evocative of the 80's

interesting album and he has a unique voice.

its ok. i would call it one of the best 1001.

ok

love this. Have heard bits bit never the whole thing. definitely on my play again list

i can see why it is on the list but its not huge for me

didn't expect to like this but was pleasantly surprised. more varied than expected and much less maudlin. Will listen again

better than expected

its Bjork

Liked this more than i expected to.

some cracking tunes on there but not enough to keep me coming back for more

loving the Jazz

Standard 80's experimentalist indie music. ok but not anything i would bother listening to again although fair play for having a song about fishcakes!

Great album . wonderful mix of update jangly melodies with down bet images

It sounds like the happy seventies of flares and top of the pops

Love this album. best version of 'Viva las Vegas' out there!

not my favourite but good .

ok folksy type of thing. Pleasant

not bad. a few good tunes

some classic tracks on there . Nice enough

ok

like this blue grassy sound. worth another listen

Good classic tunes

got some funky tunes but nothing that would bring me back to it

ok not one i would bother with again.

unable to listen on spotify

some classic tunes on there but not likely to bother going back to it

lots of great tunes. never rated Elton as I grew up in the MOR/Cocaine era Elton but have come to apricate his earlier work a lot more in recent years

Noisy and shouty and throaty, generally in a good way but it's not really something I am going to go back to in the future

ok. fairly generic country po. not really my bag.

you can see the Weller was enjoying the freedom to do what he wanted. Bit all over the place but some great tracks on here

Good album. lots of different influences and styles. Worth another listen

I liked this. it was for more punk than i would have imagined and more melodic. I will certainly listen again and look for more of their stuff

Classic Metal. coming to it so late it does suffer from sounding slightly cliched but only because it was one of the Metal templates.

Fun album. Full of some classic 60's tracks.

ok. nice tunes but nothing ground breaking

Great Album. Every listen gives a different result and the variety to genres is fascinating. Truly a band exploring their influences and not afraid to move and change what they are doing.

Nice enough

some interesting noises. Basically sounds like a manifesto from a sex obsessed 12 year old virgin telling the world how awesome he is a sex and that everyone should be as awesome as he is and that all da bitches love him and how great his thingy is.

ok. its elbow

great album. so much going on and took me back to my youth

sound like a poor mans Beastie boys

This is and always will be a classic

Love Elvis and this has some classics on it

like it. no idea what it is on about but its cool.

note getting why this is here although I acknowledge I am unlikely to be who this is aimed at.

lovely album with many different layers. Reminds me of a different time in my life

love a bit of Cuban music. No idea what they are singing about but always uplifting

ok. Not likely to bother finding anything else by them. Most interesting part of the album was finding the Jackass theme origin.

Great album

some good covers on here. Good album i would likely listen to again

ok pleasant listen but not memorable

Nailed on classic. Whether it is listening in a smoked filled teenage bedroom, coming down from the nights festivities or at the passing of a friend, this album will always be a fundamental part of my sound track of life.

proper old school rock. I liked it and will likely listen again

Typical 80's affair. Great voice. reminded me of glass and shiny surfaces in generic nightclubs called Ritzys or Champs.

some good tunes

Definitely an album of two halves. First half some good soul funk vibes. second half some batshit crazy experimental guitar jazz/blues fusion. Not sure what its all about but I like it!!

Interesting. Some generic fuzzbox level pop punk but also some more interesting tunes

This is a better album than I remember. each listen provides a different experience and feeling.

Never heard this album before. Obviously the title track is a classic but the rest holds up and really is rock n roll/metal/punk combined. can here some many links to other tunes and band. fantastic

I assumed that they were a one hit wonder band and that this would be fairly meh...but I was wrong! This is a gloriously daft and superbly unself conscious album . They throw in all the metal tropes and make it work . you can feel the genuine love and affection for the music, style and genre and it is great.

An underrated classic album. So much going on and Foxtons bass is epic. You can see how far they have progressed from their early days and Wellers word play is fantastic.

ok. I can see why it is here but it is just another rock and Roll album now.

ok. to me its another grunge album that's fairly similar to alot that were around at that time.

one of those albums where you know all the tunes but had no idea that who made them. Lovely.

This was a surprising revelation. Confounded my preconceived ideas of what Iron maiden albums are. You can hear the various influences in hear everything from pub rock, prog, punk and thrash to name but a few. Have already given it a relisten

not doing it for me

Loved this before i got this album. So many good and diverse tracks.

I got bored with this to be honest. cool cover art but it just went on a bit for my liking and didn't really go any where and no stand out tunes.

This is a great album. lovely Mediterranean /South American/ambient vibe.

its marvin.

gave this another listen and still like it . intresting music and good to listen to in the back ground

there are some nice tunes on here but the Kinks always sound a little bit fey to me. Maybe its the production levels not giving them the same sort of heft as the Who.

good to here some 80's tunes. They had some good music and i am allowed to like the now I am not a 15 boy in the 80's

some nice songs but again not going to search this out again

Love a bit of Belle and Sebastian. Uniquely twee but in a good way. Not my favorite of theirs but will need a few more listens to really appreciate it

Beautiful voice. I've never really listened to Nick Cave before but I feel that this is going to change right now.

some good tunes but not on my to to list

ok. not sure why this is in the list but its of a time when life was simpler and more jangly

its OK and very distinctly Bruce

ok. nice enough but nothing very memorable

I wanted to hate this...but it was actually quite good and I can see why it is on the list. Kanye came across as an amusing guy and the tunes were interesting but there is the artist vs art argument agian which is tricky ( my very next album was MJ's Thriller so some interesting morale quandaries this week ...

There are some absolute classics on here plus some filler. very conflicting album in an art vs artist way

ok. some nice tunes

typically british fare. quirky , funny, odd and always reminds me of Father Ted so cant be bad.

I had no idea what this was going to be and was pleasantly surprised. Loud, fast and fuck you but not so shouty as to be annoying. i will be looking out more of their stuff for sure.

Its ok. fairly standard hair rock

never heard this before but I like it a lot . This is its own thing and is simply lovely

This is great. Blues, hammond, geetar...whats not to like

ok 60's tunes

Love this. Great jive and dancehall tunes form the 50's

a fabulous album.

Its ok. Took me back to the 80's. Some good tunes on there and all in all good fun

interesting collection of tunes on here. Loads of tunes i recognized that I didn't realise were him.

ok when i managed to find it on youtube

this is certainly eclectic. awesome tunes and goes in different directions. Love it

not my bag. It just inst interesting to me and i would rather listen to the original tunes used as the backing tracks rather than these versions.

only recently got into CAN. i like this a lot and it has some interesting twists and turns.

60's tunes. ok. nothing special

great album

never heard of this before but instant 5 for me. i'm not sure what this is but i love it!!

great bit of 80's pop.

ok but not really my bag

i liked this but not one that i would revisit

Live album. Appears to be a recording of a Jazz showcase which is ok but has no real flow to it.

ok. more new wave than i was expecting

ok. nothing ground breaking that i can hear

ok. Got some classic tracks on it.

this is an album to listen to before you die. Numan was treading his own path long ago and all the better for it.

well that was interesting. Some nice musicianship and some raucous noise. i wouldn't listen for pleasure but it is good as background work music

love the Doors

thought i might like this. I was wrong.

like it. lots of crazy jazz, psychedelia and rock/metal. definite sounds of sabbath in one of the songs

interesting to listen to and i can see why it had such an impact as it was very much not a rock or pop album but the time they have a'changed and it didn't impact me that much.

Forgot how good this was. I felt he was treated as a bit of a joke at the time with the bit hats and denise van outen etc but by god are there some great tunes on here.

like this. i will be looking for more of his work

nice voice and god old country and western.

I haven't really listened to her before. Nice bit of tunage. will listen to more to get a better feel for her.

I confused them with Maroon 5 who they most definitely are not. i like this a lot and will look out for more of their stuff

classic

its ok standard metal fair nothing special for me

Interesting blend of various genres.

interesting in that it feels like to different albums . one frothy pop soul and one dirty funk soul. Couple of classic tracks.

great guitar playing and some Rod vibes.

I can see why this made the list as it has a proto punk, rockabilly vibe about it that belies the date it was made.

love the ethereal otherworldly sounds. no idea what it is about but it sounds fabulous.

good but short

i like it . happy music. no idea what its about but it makes you smile.

I love Sister of mercy. Takes me back to my goth phase. I really like this album and it still sounds fresh but my very favorite is First and Last and Always. i can still remember the first time i heard it and being blown away by the whole vibe

liked this more than I expected. Sounds like a number of 60's groups combined.

standard 70's fare.

great voice and subject matter took me by surprise and very funny. will need a few relistens

Wasn't sure if this was a p*sstake or not. There was some funk and some ok tunes

great album

liked this.

interesting but not something i will go back to.

got a couple of songs in and noped out. Bland r and B smooth crap using 400 notes when 1 would do. Pants

standard 60's music. no idea why this is on the list

ok. some nice dance tracks but nothing ground breaking for me.

ok. some good tunes but not ground breaking

nice bit of twangy geetar

better than i remember it at the time. prefer old school punk but this is ok.

love Lloyd Cole

it was an ok live album. some niche geetar twanging

nice bit of jazz piano. pretty intense in places.

not as blown away by this as I was hoping. It was ok but nothing special.

ok.

great Christmas album but all a bit creepy having Spector talking at the end knowing what a Grade A ars*hole he was to everyone.

wasn't really into them in the day but I do like this album. probably listen to it again sometime

Love this. Bongos and Hammond organs playing classic track!

its Stevie wonder.

Interesting mix of styles on this album. definite re listen material

like this alot

more bluesy than i expected but i still prefer the Quartet!

good punk album

some nice tunes

Unavailable

they have their own sound. liked this.

some classic tunes on here obviously and I can see why it was so ground breaking at the time but it doesn't really do the job for me.

nice enough

ok but not massively my bag

nice enough MOR album. Very easy listening

love this album

ok

Like this. punk and plaintive

nice enough

Not heard this before. Nice bit of shoe gazing

Not as James Brown as I was expecting

Cool. Can see the influence on early rock and roll and some classic tunes

Trying hard but cliched

not my favorite album

cant believe i missed this! I can see where the DNA of so much original punk came from in this album.

Full shoe gazing . love suicide

Much more melodic than I expected

more on a pop vibe than i thought it would be . i liked it

nice enough bit of country tho she is no Dolly

great disco but the ubiquitousness of the hits detracts from the other tunes making them seem like filler

love this..takes me right back to my clubbing days

I do like a bit of Eric but this is ok not ground breaking...although it probably was at the time...

stone cold classic

Definitely of its time. Some cracking tunes but probably miss the boat on this one.

this sounds more modern than i was expecting for a 50 odd year old album. will listen again.

I have loved Billy Bragg since hearing Life a Riot with Spy vs Spy. I can fully understand that his voice might not be everyone's cup of tea but his lyrics tell suck great stories with a wonderful imagery and a hint of whimsy..."How can you lie there and think of England, When you don't even know who's in the team" ...sublime!!

i liked this , lots of different vibes

Wish i had heard this first time round but thought that they were some sort of novelty boy band ( thanks The Sun) This is a lot more wider ranging musically than i every realised.

really like this. No idea what they are singing about but lovely sounds

Absolute classic. Came out when I was a teenager and it was such move on from Unforgettable Fire and just took you away to the heat and sweat of America. Listening again I still hear so many new things I have missed before. Love it.

like this. I thought it would be depressing but actually it had much more going on than expected.

Another classic album. Still sounds as good to me today as it did when i first bought. Blends so many different interesting sounds and Ian Brown could actually hold a tune. I have no idea how this has aged for new listeners, as for me it is still as fresh and new as the day it was released and listening to it I feel like the teenager I was at the time. Forever 5 stars!

was ok. some nice tunes but nothing to bring me back to it

Liked the banter and can see why this had had the impact it did at the time

the classics of course but I also liked the weird and random interludes and additions..I cant imaging what they might have been on at the time. proves that they were a proper band and not just a TV one.

this is a classic but almost too classic in that you know you have heard the tunes so many times they almost become cliches of themselves. Still a great rock, blues album

Being an original punk fan I always found the 'new punk' a bit generic/copycat but I did genuinely enjoy this album

liked this much more than I expected to. Some good tunes on here

nice to hear stuff that isn't the normal classics. Surprising amount of 'storytelling' tracks which was interesting.

some good tunes. This passed me by at the time and will need more listens to get a full feel for it.

Not heard of these before. I liked it. Jangly 90's poppiness

never heard of these before but love this. I have started to delve into the back catalogue to see what else is in there .

not what i thought they would sound like. a bit jangly and inoffensive

better than expected. More bluesy than I thought

great tunes tho some are a little on the iffy side...

music to work to

love the cramps just so fuzzy and dirty.

not really listened to these before but i liked it and will check out more

some classic tunes

prog rock..nuff said

Country and Western

full blown prog rock pomp
