1001 Albums Summary

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

Good baselines but too much screaming rather than singing.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

A bit dreary and tracks all similiar tone and vibe. Not for me.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick

Easy enough listening but nothing stand out which would bring me back to it.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches

Only track I recognised was the title track Since I left you. But rest are intreging and full of random sounds combled together which some how work for me.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

Number of classics in here. The Boxer is one of my favs. Worth the 4 star alone.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes

Forgotten it already

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies

Sail Away by Randy Newman

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams

Angels still a classic and some decent others. Wanted 3.5.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley

On the short side at 30 mins. Over by the time you feel its just getting started.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple

Real Life by Magazine

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard

Slow paced shite

Arise by Sepultura

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

Gris Gris by Dr. John

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour

The White Album by Beatles

Beatles put out a lot of songs in their time. I feel with this double album they've went for the opposite of a greatest hits album.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy

Banging basslines which are hard to resist doing firestarter-esque head bangs throughout.

Kenza by Khaled

Prob big in Middle East, just not used to this style of music and unlikely to adopt it.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Not his best stuff but easy enough listening. Better to come.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Faith by George Michael

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince

A generous 2, a couple of good tracks, filled with a spectacular array of nonsence and lazyness.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise

Pleasant surprise. Enjoyable listen, not sure it will be a regular listen mind.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson

Some great tracks. Must have listened to Jump into the fire 10+ times.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses

Some good tunes but overall it's not my cup of tea. Bar a couple of songs i wouldn't listen again.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem

Central Reservation by Beth Orton

All the same pace throughout, rather uninteresting.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

xx by The xx

Second Toughest In The Infants by Underworld

Nothing noteable in here.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time by Cornershop

Meh

Dance Mania by Tito Puente

I'm sure it was an awesome latin dance fest in the 70s, but before my time and hard to get into without that experience. Now bring on Scooter!!! Lol

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow

Has better albums than this. Disappointing.

Street Life by The Crusaders

Like the title track but all other tracks were very similar without any vocals to spark any interest.

Kid A by Radiohead

Pump by Aerosmith

Definitely Maybe by Oasis

Maybe 5? Definitely 5!

Loved 1st track in particular. Almost a 4 but not sure how likely I'm going to go back to listen.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail by Buck Owens

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull

Few different sounds mixed well in here. Who knew that county could sound good with a little electronic backing.

Document by R.E.M.

Suicide by Suicide

Dark, nobody wants to listen to this.

Smash by The Offspring

Highly enjoyable and great rhythm though out. Could easily give a 4 but just don't think it's got the appeal for regular listening.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy

21 by Adele

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails

New Wave by The Auteurs

90 by 808 State

Sincere by Mj Cole

American IV: The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash

Good album but dropped a star due to lack of new material. Mainly songs from previous albums or covers.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse

Made Blues and Jazz cool again.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart

Station To Station by David Bowie

Tracks are OK but too repetitive, songs could have been compressed 50% and still had the same sound and avoided the boredom that creeps in.

Mothership Connection by Parliament

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes

The La's by The La's

1999 by Prince

Some hits at start but 2nd half is poor.

Protection by Massive Attack

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones

Sea Change by Beck

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin

Like anything which kick starts a genre, better stuff comes with time but this was a catalyst of inspiration. Crazy he had been doing it for years prior to release as a teenager.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs

Live Through This by Hole

Maxinquaye by Tricky

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.

I was expecting more from this, quite dated and real lack of backing tracks, very basic. Still love 'It's tricky' though but mainly in remixed form.

Abraxas by Santana

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy

Bad by Michael Jackson

Vile

Just don't get it.

Modern Life Is Rubbish by Blur

Ramones by Ramones

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis

A safe 3. Good in its field but i'm not going to be listening again soon. Not my genre really.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Live At The Regal by B.B. King

Great vocals and quality all round. 5 star listen, but drops a star as not all his own material. Only fair done the same to Johnny Cash.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

An extra star for originality but it isn't pleasant on the ears. Basically took all the criteria on how to make a song, teared it up and made their own rules, which is commendable but personally don't like the end product.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes

OK Computer by Radiohead

Always remember this album being really slow, dreary and depressing but once you've heard Frankie Teardrop it doesn't seem all that bad. Some decent songs but still don't get all the Radio head hype.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins

Rio by Duran Duran

Some great tracks and a lot that blur into the background whilst all being very similar.

Pink Flag by Wire

Pyromania by Def Leppard

Berlin by Lou Reed

Wild Wood by Paul Weller

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith

Pleasant enough album but nothing stand out.

Bossanova by Pixies

Nice but all a little same paced and lost interest. Relaxing though.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

The Lexicon Of Love by ABC

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits

Possibly some nostalgic bias with this one.

Live At The Witch Trials by The Fall

L.A. Woman by The Doors

American Idiot by Green Day

Generous 3 saved by some good singles. Feels dated now.

An extra star for my lack of French.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinead O'Connor

Don't like when politics comes into music or sport. However good album with great vocals. Great cover of Nothing compares 2 u. Might have given a 4 if the best song on it was an original.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

Not so FRESH. Message nearly pulls it up to a 3 but would be generous. Pioneer at the time.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre

Sounded like it could have been the sound track to Clockwork Orange. For electronic music made 50 years ago and still sound this good is amazing.
