The Jesus LizardJust as good as I remembered. Probably my favourite JL album but their other work is great too.

Great selection of a user album. Hard choice between all these S:O's albums but would definitely include this album in my own 1001 list. One of these albums that completely grabs your attention.
Superclassic UK album from the 80s: 10/10. Should have been included in the oiginal list. Had thought about selecting this album myself and am glad someone else did.
Another surprising user album choice. I believe I may have a copy of this album, but had not listened to it for two decades. It was okay to listen to again but a bit of a mixed bag (6/10). I also listened to Glee again and slightly (7/10) prefer it above Discosis.
Probably would have gone for October Rust, but both are 5 star, obviously.
Some of the reviewers might have a point that this album could have been included on the 1001 list. I had not listed to it for many years and played it twice this evening, that is, 2.5 hour MM , which is perhaps a little overkill. Some songs are still as strong as ever, some other songs (there are 15 in total) are good / very good: 8/10 overall.

Still a great album (10/10) just like 30 years ago that could have comfortably been placed in the 1001 list. In fact, up to Scarlet's Walk I would rate all Tori Amos albums as 5 star (and it is easy to generate another 5-star album with the b-sides from that period).
The combination Sparks and Moroder is simply great, and I always felt that this album should have been included in the 1001 list instead of Kimono My House. In fact after revisiting both albums this evening I would have included both, as both are 10/10 records.

Normally I dislike these records full of novelty songs that are all over the place and mix bad humour with pastiche. But this album is the exception to the rule: it's great, with supercatchy proper songs. I had not listened to it for 30 years or so, and this evening I can appreciate it even more than in 1994: 9/10.
Yeah. Great UK band. I would have gone for The Ghost of Cain (10/10) but TaC is excellent as well: 9/10 for me - I like it a bit more when they operate in post-punk mode rather than folk-rock. On the other hand: the songs on TaC are very strong of course, and this was the first NMA album that I listened to back in 1990 or so.
A surprising choice. Had this album on tape but even back then it was clear that far better pop music was released, except, of course, for the two big (5-star) international hits.

One of the first cassette tapes I owned, back in 1986, was Into the Light, a top 10 album at the time. About half of it was quite good, the rest.. pretty unlistenable. I just played the two albums back to back to conclude once more that 70s Chris de Burgh is definitely not for me (2/10), whereas I can still appreciate the typical 80s sound of ItL and some of its songs (5/10). In any case, a surprising user album choice.
The choice of REM album in the 1001 list seemed reasonably appropriate to me. OoT always felt more like a collection of singles / songs than a proper album, but I had forgotten how good most of the songs are. Not that it matters too much: REM up to 1996 or so = 5* anyway.
