1001 Albums Summary

Generally a nice noise. Lovely guitar and I like the shuffle rhythm - but the vocal melodies are hit and miss - very few hooks and none was memorable. Songs got progressively weaker. Some editing would have helped - there might have been enough material for one strong album, but definitely not a double.

I like my dixieland jazz a bit hotter than this (e.g. the Dutch College Swing Band). These tracks very quickly all blurred into one. A nice enough sound, but nothing grabbed my attention.

Awful. Unlistenable.

I couldn't listen to all this. I like some of the vocals - very reminiscent of Hazel O'Connor, but the guitar sound is horrible and songs disjointed, jerky and just simply not good enough.

Sort of nice, but not great. I made the mistake of listening to the first couple of songs, then putting on a Judee Sill track - the difference in quality and class was so massive, I couldn't go back. Sorry Susanne - "don't call us, we'll call you".

Absolutely terrible. For incels and thirteen year old boys only.

Definitely not for me.

A bit plodding - I was expecting more energy.

Upbeat and happy-go-lucky sound. Nothing particularly grabbed me but it's a pleasant noise.

Awful. Are they making it up as they go along? 'Saturday night...Sunday morning' was magnificent, but nothing they've done since comes anywhere close.

Goth rock - but not in the Sisters of Mercy class.

Meh. It's OK.

Wow! This is fantastic I love it.

Not for me.

Modern jazz/funk? Liked it a lot.

Nice music. Somehow, it still sounds odd to hear rock music in any language but English (though unaccountably, it's perfectly fine in folk), but I suppose that's just my parochialism.Whatever, this is clearly good stuff.

Competent riff-based rock, let down by the vocals. By coincidence, Mick Ralphs died last week so I was promped to listen to Bad Company to remind myself how it should really be done.

Interesting echoes of John Martyn. I'm not normally keen on the avant garde, but this was unusually listenable.

Musi good, but rock sounds wrong to me in Spanish. I don't have a rational explanation, because I'm fine with Spanish folk music. So it's good but not for me.

Oh wow, that's interesting - anyone else hear this as an antecedent to Tubular Bells? I sounds an obvious influence to me. Good stuff.

Interesting - I liked this, though not sure how to classify it (yes, I know there's no need): semi-metal?
