1001 Albums Summary

Best album of the 80's shirley? 6 out of 5. Cemetery Gates the highlight. Tend to skip Never Had No One Ever but the rest makes up for it

Iconic

Very pleasant but probably wouldn't go back to it. 3 stand out tracks

Good production v similar to Wu Tang. Bit too long

Boring

Good lyrics but most tracks are complete shite

Really like it but far too long

Never heard of em before. Very pleasant surprise

Splendid

Somehow manages to be both interesting and boring

A work of art

Boring

Noice

Geno <3

The 3ist of 3's I ever did see

Raj doot

First few tracks were superb. Fizzles out in the middle

Lovely stuff

Not my thing but v groovy

Gene Clark? More like Gene Wilder. Couple of decent tunes tbf

Full of bops

Bull crap

Never heard of this mob but v enjoyable

Top 3 Bowie album. Title track his best ever tune in my opinion. Golden Years, TVC, Word On A Wing all absolute bangers too.

Ballsy

Best of the jazz albums thus far

Good, solid nandos music

First ever listen but know the big tunes. Welcome To The Jungle is a work of art, one of the best album openers ever. Fucking love it. Sweet Child has always pissed me off for some reason but appreciate why it's so famous. Overall it's shit hot but not a 5 for me.

Yeah not for me

Boring berk

Free John Gotti haha. Cringe.

Abba innit. Can't give less than 3

Was gonna go 3 but ends on a big high

Far from their best

Bit try hard but pleasant enough background music. B Tec Stone Roses vibes.

Very beige album. Couple of decent tunes though. Enjoyed You Can't Say No Forever

Funky

Boring berks

Sounds like a FIFA soundtrack

A pleasant surprise. Some ballsy tunes

Prefer The Fat Of The Land but still very good. A 3.75/5

Was v tempted to give a 5. Very consistent considering the number of tracks

Some nice jams but yeah not for me

- Thunder Road - greatest song of all time by a considerable distance - Tenth Avenue Freeze Out - an absolute bop - Night - one of the more forgettable tracks but would be the standout on most other records on this list - Backstreets - Up there with Thunder Road and Born To Run. 3rd best track on the album. Bruce at his very best. Born To Run - Lovely stuff She's The One - was never that arsed about this before but it's fucking class Meeting Across The River - skippable Jungleland - The bollocks

Nice and weird

Had heard most of these from their greatest hits CD. Starts strong, but the last 5 tracks are crud

Always found it a bit over-rated but it's still a solid 3.5

Probably more of a 2.5. no tracks added to the playlist but appreciate the guitar work

No Born Slippy - no party

Love Tuesdays Gone thanks to Happy Gilmore. Likewise Free Bird which was the perfect soundtrack for running over prostitutes on GTA

Got a bit repetitive

Really not sure an hour of 90s Madonna is needed but wasn't too bad

Yeah decent

Oasis are the best band of the 90's, but this is the best album of the 90's. Mis-Shapes - 10/10 Pencil Skirt - 7.5/10 Common People - 10/10 I Spy - 10/10 Disco 2000 - 10/10 Live Bed Show - 8/10 Something Changed - 10/10 Sorted For E's and Wizz - 9/10 F.E.E.L... - 9/10 Underwear - 10/10 Monday Morning - 10/10 Bar Italia - 9/10 Great tunes packed with witty lyrics from start to finish.

Jackass lol

Cracking vocals from our George

"After all the feces they dumped on my species" is a jokes lyric

Added barely any tunes to the playlist but it's interesting enough for a 3

Lovely stuff

One of the first albums I ever listened to #fact not quite my style but it's iconic and the big tunes are absolute belters

Weird

Really good actually

Load of old crud

Interesting

This is the kind of weird shit I signed up for

V good added most to the playlist. Favourite track Couldn't Get Ahead

Feels weird not giving Bowie a 5 but I've never been a huge fan of this. 3.5 rounded up.

Pet Sounds vibes

Not for me but can see why it's on the list. Who Are You This Time nest track

Very pleasant and very boring

Pills Thrills Bellyaches is far superior but still a solid 3

Typical 90s shite. Awful decade

Really good this, folk-reggae-libertines vibes

First time listening to this. Can see why it's so highly rated

I'm due a watch of The Wicker Man

Pretty good actually but gets a bit tedious

Crud

My third favourite Smiths album, but still a 5. Was gonna go 4 before listening but the guitar work and lyrics alone make it a 5/5.

Run To The Hills is an absolute tune

Good to hear Scando music outside of Eurovision. Was gonna give up 3 tracks in but Seven and Triangle Walks are both superb. Turned out pretty good. Vikings is fucking sick.

Narrowly escaped a 1 star this did

My kinda vibe but lower end of 4/5. Clearly inspired by Pet Sounds

Pointlessly long and all sounds the same

Fucking love this. Makes me wanna get a horse

Soft-rock cocaine enthusiasts Fleetwood Mac. An easy 5/5 but it's a shame Silver Springs isn't on there in place of Oh Daddy.

Nirvana: Unplugged should be the only live album on here

Whiney yank bollocks

6.5/10 v good

Find his stuff interesting and unique but not for me. Clap Hands added to the playlist

Sehr gut

Really wanna give it a 5 but it's not something I'd add to my record collection. Thriller/Beat It/Billie Jean is a GOAT three in a row. The Girl Is Mine gave me AIDS. Worst thing he's ever done and I've seen Leaving Neverland.

Ballsy and bluesey

Another pleasant surprise

Speakerboxxx shits all over The Love Below but definitely a 4/5. Roses obviously the overall highlight.

Lower end of a 4. Mostly above average tracks with a couple of belters

There Goes The Fear is incredible

Narrowly missed out on a 5

Dancing Queen <3

Fucking love this album. Buzzing it popped up as I don't listen to it often. 1. Born In The USA - ironically this is the track that put me off Springsteen for so many years, assuming he was a boring dad rock patriot berk. Couldn't have been more wrong 8/10 2. Cover Me - One of his all time classics 9/10 3. Darlington County - It's very cheesey but good fun 7/10 4. Working On The Highway - As above. Chorus is v catchy 6.5/10 5. Downbound Train - A welcome change back to more classic Springsteen vibes with lyrics that paint a picture 9/10 6. I'm On Fire - Noncey lyrics, always found it a tad over-rated but it's v good 8/10 7. No Surrender - a stone cold banger 10/10 8. Bobby Jean - Best track on the album and top 5 overall, fucking love it. Especially as it's written about Steve van Zandt leaving the band <3 10/10 9. I'm Going Down - Another classic 10/10 10. Glory Days - Another in the good kind of cheesey category 8/10 11. Dancing In The Dark - Not enough guitar for me but it's incredible 9.5/10 12. My Hometown - A perfect ending 9/10

Higher end of a 3, nearly 4

Finally some fucking Beatles. It's impossible to choose a favourite Beatles album but this is one of the very best. This is the one where they transitioned from the poppy boy band into cool as fuck absolute #lads. The drugs came in and their music changed for the better. 1. Drive My Car - classic opener 9/10 2. Norwegian Wood - First of many Beatles sitar tracks and easily the best 10/10 3. You Won't See Me - Lovely stuff from our Paul 9.50/10 4. Nowhere Man - Lennon delivering another 10/10 5. Think For Yourself - Lovely bit of guitar 8.5/10 6. The Word - cool as fuck and good fun 9/10 7. Michelle - used to think this was about a monkey playing piano 8.5/10 8. What Goes On - Not Ringo's finest hour 7/10 9. Girl - bonus points for saying 'tit' 9/10 10. I'm Looking Through You - always been a favourite 9.5/10 11. In My Life - The best song ever written 11/10 12. Wait - Another worldie 9.5/10 13. If I Needed Someone - Them harmonies though 9.50/10 14. Run For Your Life - For fuck sake haha 6.50/10

Fucking class

I should really give this a 4 based on individual track ratings, but the peaks on here are elite. Probably 5th or 6th best Bowie album. Life On Mars aside, Queen Bitch has always been the highlight for me. 1. Changes - usually skip this because it's so overplayed but it's shit hot 9.5/10 2. Oh You Pretty Things - a highlight 9.5/10 3. Eight Line Poem - Doesn't do it for me 5/10 4. Life On Mars - possibly the best track of the 70's 11/10 5. Kooks - used to find this kind of annoying but it's harmless enough 7/10 6. Quicksand - forgot about this 8.5/10 7. Fill Your Heart - quirky 7/10 8. Andy Warhol - It's alright 7/10 9. Song For Bob Dylan - another classic 9/10 10. Queen Bitch - Top 10 Bowie tune 10/10 11. Bewley Brothers - Love it man such a unique track. Starving for me gravy - 9/10

This is absolutely sensational. Can't fault it in any way whatsoever. Gotta be a 5 all things considered

This has aged terribly. Shite like the Debt Collector and Far Out. The highlights (Parklife, End Of A Century, To The End) are just about enough to give it a 4 though. Oasis shit/shat all over Blur, from a massive height.

An unexpected 5. Every track added to the playlist

A genre-bending masterpiece. A work of art. 1. Back In The USSR - Madness of an opener 10/10 2. Dear Prudence - And a banging follow up 9.5/10 3. Glass Onion - Not a favourite but a big tune 8/10 4. Ob La Di - a marmite Beatles track, I fucking love it 9/10 5. Wild Honey Pie - have a weird soft spot for this 8/10 6. Bungalow Bill - as above 8.5/10 7. While My Guitar - A triumph from George the #lad 10/10 8. Happiness Is A Warm Gun - One of Lennon's finest 10/10 9. Martha My Dear - The best of 'Paul's granny shit'. 8.5/10 10. I'm So Tired - A big tune 9.5/10 12. Blackbird - Genius in it's simplicity 10/10 13. Piggies - fucking weird man haha 6/10 14. Rocky Racoon - paints an interesting picture 8.5/10 15. Don't Pass Me By - a right old thigh slapper 8.5/10 16. Why Don't We Do It In The Road - a fairly average Beatles track 7/10 17. I Will - delightful 9/10 18. Julia - classic 10/10 19. Birthday - it's alright 8/10 20. Yer Blues - aye class 8.5/10 21. Mother Nature's Son - As above 8.5/10 22. Everybody's got Something To hide - ballsy 8.5/10 23. Sexy Sadie - big tune 9/10 24. Helter Skelter - colossal tune 10/10 25. Long, Long, Long - absolutely fucking love it v underated 10/10 26. Revolution 1 - The original version but not the best 9/10 27. Honey Pie - inoffensive 7.5/10 28. Savoy Truffle - one of my least favourite tracks 6/10 29. Cry Baby Cry - Lovely tune 8/10 30. Revolution 9 - once is enough really ain't it, only listen to it cos it's long skipping a track on the vinyl 4/10 31. Good Night - A perfect ending, reminds me of something from one of the proper old Disney films 7.5/10

Very pleasant

V close to a 5 faded toward the end

Jesus Christ

My kinda vibe. Mad vocals and heavy guitars but something missing

Just about a 4

First 3 tracks were brilliant. The rest was bullcrap.

Eurononsense

Simpsons lol

Yeah this is shite

Everybody Wants To Rule The World is an 11/10 track. Rest of the album didn't do much for me

Funky af

Some nice beats but mostly shite

Lower end of a 4. Lacks the bangers of Urban Hymns and all a bit samey

Have to give a 5 considering I added 99% of tracks to the playlist

Never heard of them before but a pleasant surprise. Smiths/Cure vibes

Far too much Rod on this list. Celtic bastard

Lovely stuff

Nice bit of kraut rock

CREAM is a masterpiece. GOAT hip hop beats throughout the album.

Bowie's 90's/00's albums are shite but this was a fine return to form and a near perfect send off

First listened to this years ago and never quite got it. Revisited recently and it's probably an all time top 5 album. Best tracks 1. I'm Waiting For The Day 2. God Only Knows 3. I Know There's An Answer Wouldn't It Be Nice 10/10 You Still Believe In Me 10/10 That's Not Me 10/10 Don't Talk 9/10 I'm Waiting For The Day 11/10 Let's Go Away 10/10 Sloop John B 10/10 God Only Knows 11/10 I know There's 10/10 Here Today 10/10 I Just Wasn't Made 10/10 Pet Sounds 9/10 Carolone No 10/10

Makes me wanna play Tony Hawk's 3

Fades a bit toward the end but deserves a 4

Slow Jamz mate what a banger

Class as usual from Bob but not as keen on the later gravelly vocals

A very pleasant experience. I thought Tracy Chapman was a white bloke until about 2015

Grow up

Quirky like Bowie but nowhere near as cool

Literally every song is a banger. An unexpected 5

GOAT male vocalist. Crap, cheesy album.

Guess I don't get Beck. Dull

Not quite a 5. How Can You Sleep is a tune but a needlessly brutal dig at Macca

Better than Beck tbf

The best collection of Christmas songs of all time. Darlene Love steals the show though. Every year its the same fucking boring debate about what the greatest Christmas song ever is. At least 6 tracks on this album are streets ahead of anything shat out of Mariah Carey or even Wham.

Was gonna swerve it managed to get through it all. Fucking superb effort for nearly 3 hours 👏

Stuart Pearce has seen this mob live over 1000 times. Psycho clearly has impeccable taste 👌

An hour of white bloke reggae ffs

An easy 5. Always preferred London Calling but difficult to compare to as they're so different.

Blokes from Sheffield signing in an American accent

Reminds me of Rubber Soul

Bonus point for best album cover

Coldplay are shit. This is not shit.

In the 6/5 club

From the singles I've heard I'd always assumed Kiss were the worst band of all time. Some decent tracks on here though
