1001 Albums Summary

Raucous. Enjoyed it more than I thought.

Not for me. Never was, never has been, and this repeated listen hasn’t changed my mind.

Some classics on here.

An absolute riot.

I’ve never listened to anything like this before. It sounded much more polished than perhaps I was expecting, and Siouxie’s voice is unique. Interesting. Probably a grower.

Not usually a fan of live albums, and don’t usually feel like I’ve missed out on anything, but this sounded like a hell of a night. You can almost smell the cigarette smoke. His voice is absolutely unbelievable.

A long-forgotten old favourite. Lovely to hear it again. I remembered it far better than I thought I would, having not heard it for 20 years.

The last time I heard this, I was round at my friend Rhys’s house, playing ZX Spectrum games. He played this tape on constant rotation, because he loved it. I hated it. 30 or so years on, I didn’t hate it. It’s still not really my thing, but it’s a solid rock album, and it gets an extra star for transporting me back to happy, carefree times.

One star, for the title track only. Music for losers. Absolute shite.

I must have worn out multiple needles playing this album when I was 13. Time has not been kind. Extra marks off for, well, you know. All the stuff.
