1001 Albums Summary

Chill, funky beats providing the background to some slick rhymes. Very early 90s. Not really my cup of tea

It sure is Miles Davis. I'm no jazz aficionado but most jazz sounds kinda similar to me (although I'm sure Miles Davis produces some of the best of it)

The Byrds: The Beatles but less interesting - For context, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band came out the same year and is just so much... more. In a period where the genre of rock and roll was being defined and borders were being explored, they have a sound that is about 5 years behind the times. Listening now, the simple harmonies and rhythms seem a little meh and dated. It's nice, unobjectionable music, with some nice close harmony bits but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy a record

There's a lot going on here. Not really my thing

I honestly couldn't tell you why but Once in a Lifetime is bit of a banger. Other than that it's okay - Not sure I'd buy the album just for the one track

It's not one of his most iconic albums but but I do like a bit of Bowie. Nothing mindblowing but a solid, enjoyable album that I'd probably buy if I came across in a charity shop

Moderately enjoyable but pretty forgettable

Really not my thing

It's got a song called 'slut'. However, otherwise pretty generic sounding soft rock. An unexciting 2.5

That Byrds album came out the same year and this is massively more interesting. However, I could probably take or leave a fair number of the tracks. The End is an iconic and great track - Is it enough for me to buy the album? I think so but I probably wouldn't splash out too much

Great album. Nice chill, feel-good 80s pop that is genuinely interesting to listen to with Paul Simon's unique style with some popular bangers in the mix. You Can Call Me Al is, of course, a great track. Got it on vinyl - wouldn't have it if it wasn't very decent. 4.5 from me

Sounds like a poor man's Blondie (and I don't like Blondie that much)

The name of the band is the most interesting thing about this album. It's pretty average and feel like I could have done without hearing this particular album before I died

Enjoyed this marginally more than I thought I would. I wouldn't buy it though - Not sure it would make my top 1001. A solid 2.7

A solid 3. The title song is a solid classic but I'm not a massive 90s/2000s smooth croonin' pop fan

Pretty average. 2.5

Decent background music. Some tracks sounded like generic game menu music but others were a bit more catchy.

Cracking album. Generally good tracks with some great hits thrown in there. Would pay decent money to buy if I came across it - Great 80s rock and (possibly?) my favourite album of the ones I've rated so far A solid 4.5 from me

It's not relaxing listening but it's pretty enjoyable music to mix it up once in a while. 2.5 from me

Well I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I might. Will have to listen to some more Aerosmith

He's a good ole' country boi. Unfortunately, he sings like it.

Lovely bit of folk pop/rock. Not breaking any records but pretty enjoyable

Highly overrated in my opinion. It's fine but not gonna go out of my way to listen to this again

Very solid album, featuring some great hits. There was some great music in the late 60s and this is one of the best albums

This man is hella angry. I don't know why but eminem always sounds like he is parodying something to me. 2 angry/5

Couldn't get into this tbh

You can tell by the number of listens... Me and Julio Down by the School Yard is a banger. Other than that pretty bang average album

ngl, the singer is pretty dull

I like that the album art is a banana

This app claims to list "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". David Holmes named the album "Let's Get Killed". I would, to be honest, be happy if this had happened before I listened to this garbage

Enjoyed this more than I thought I might. Tracks are a little samey but pleasant listening

Good album, if overplayed. The big hits deserve to be big hits. A strong 3.5 from me

HONKY TONKY I'M A COUNTREEE BOIIIIIIIIII

couldn't really tell you why. I just don't find this interesting or enjoyable to listen to

Not my favourite Massive Attack Album. nb though

I'm not mad about Coldplay but this is a really strong album. I'd listen again and would probably stretch to at least £4.99 in a charity shop. 3.7

A lot of the album sounds very samey to me. Might have to listen again but not that impressed on first listen

Common People is a classic. Pretty decent album.

Meh

Wall Street Shuffle is great - Other than that not a spectacular album

WITH OR WITHOUT YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Decent album 3.75/5

Not my cup of tea. Guys need to chill a bit.

Enjoyable but not gonna win many awards in my book. Extra 0.5 stars for the name

I'd buy this. Got some great tracks and some pretty non-memorable ones.

Peaches is decent but other than that this is a very meh, samey-sounding album to me

Whilst I enjoy some individual songs, at an album level, all of the songs sound pretty similar to me. I don't think he's got an interesting voice to listen to

A fairly pleasant listen - nothing wild but chill late 70s pop

Some people like Green tea. Some people like fruit tea. Some people like earl grey. This is not a variety of tea I enjoy

Whilst not my favourite album, it's a strong one, with some solid hits on it. The fact that it's got sitar in it pushes it up in the ratings. Big up Ravi Shankar

The cream of the crop

I think this is quite a well put together album, with the vague theme of going on a dates with the Bros. The music is pleasant but wouldn't go out of my way to listen again

Happy Sad. More like Slightly Dull

I bet Louis would like this one

Would this album be anywhere near as popular if it weren't for the title track? Probably not. That said, it's a nice album and I'd probably buy if I came across it.

Meh

Moderately enjoyable

Quite funky but not gonna go outta my way to listen again

I thought this album was interesting. Not amazing but worthy of a re-listen at some point 3.5

Meh. Some pretentious shite. Not really interesting listening
