It's not an album you could put on any time, any day. But at the right time this is awesome. For me that was making breakfast on a Sunday morning and this had me bouncing around the kitchen.

Give it up for White Denim! IYKYK Great album

It's sort of everything you want from a rock album.

Loved this album when I was given a copy on tape by my mate Ben in '97, still love it today. I know it may be a bit noisy for a lot of people, but the noise makes the quiet bits more powerful, and vice versa. It's why Bambi's mum gets shot.... emotional manipulation innit!

Amazing, not listened to this in a very long time. Forgot how brilliant U2 are, when they are just being brilliant. I was back in the car with my Dad listening to this on cassette during the drive to school.

Brilliant, first time listening to the album in full. Raw, funky, bluesy. What a voice!

Amazing, not listened to this in a very long time. Forgot how brilliant U2 are, when they are just being brilliant. I was back in the car with my Dad listening to this on cassette during the drive to school.

Too much self indulgence and pomp at times for me.

I get why it's popular. It's very much of its time. Never going to be an album that sees heavy rotation with me.

Such an easy listen. Enjoyed this one.

I've never been the biggest Coldplay fan. I enjoyed this though. Some of the acoustic stuff I found a bit vanilla. But there are some good songs on here. When they get their groove on it's good.

This one feels like it's beginning to lay the foundations for Ray's ability to craft a great pop song with both wit and a cutting sense of social comment.

Really like this. Reminded me of Les Big Byrd.

Great album. Really enjoyed listening to this one again.

When this popped up this morning my initial reaction was "Oh God". I'm still scarred from having to endure Stars on repeat back in '91, when all I wanted to listen to was Jimi Hendrix. Anyway in the spirit of this adventure, I did listen to this album in full. It was alright.... I survived the experience. Will I listen to it again? Doubtful. But I can at least tick it off the list.

My fave Beatles albums are the later ones when they locked themselves in the studio and performed audio alchemy. But this is great. A lot of "love" songs but if you listen there is always a little twist or darker undertone. It wins stars just for the opening chord which distills down the entire emotion of that first song into one Draaaannnggggg.

A stone-cold classic. No more words needed.

I enjoyed this. Not come across Jane Weaver before. Definitely worth another listen I reckon. A steady 3* to start with but might well be a grower.

A good slab of 80s metal. Enjoyable, but not earth shattering

It makes a statement. Well produced, good songwriting. Will it still be on the list in 10 years time?

Good album. Some really good songs on this one.

Another one I've not heard before. I was aware of Elliott Smith and friends loved his albums at the time. But I'd never got into him. Really liked some of the stuff on this album. At times his melodies are incredible.

I found this to be a very accessible album. You don't need to be a Jazz aficionado to enjoy this. It's an easy listen.

Love this album as much today as I did when I bought it 20 years ago.

This album would never normally get picked up by my radar. When she gets her groove on it's good. But it's not really my bag.

I do love Prince, I mean the guy was a genius. But sometimes you feel that he never really embraced the notion that less can be more. "I could never take the place of your man" morphing into the Grateful Dead is sublime and "The Cross" almost becomes indie grunge. And that's after an hour of Synth laden pop. It feels like an album I need to listen to again, which says something.

When this came up it wasn't one that I expected to enjoy, just that it would be one to get through to tick off. But you know what, I enjoyed it. It's a really complex and varied album. The production is brilliant.

I expected to enjoy this more than I did. Maybe it's my frame of mind at this moment, or maybe it just doesn't quite stand up as the classic I anticipated.

Loved this album when I was given a copy on tape by my mate Ben in '97, still love it today. I know it may be a bit noisy for a lot of people, but the noise makes the quiet bits more powerful, and vice versa. It's why Bambi's mum gets shot.... emotional manipulation innit!

Brilliant, just brilliant. The opening line of the first song wins stars and that's before you even get into the totally in your face production, or the awesome collection of songs on here.

It was OK. Not really my taste and I don't think it stands the test of time in the same way as something like Appetite for Destruction, if you can even compare those two. Does it deserve to be in this list, probably, 1001 albums is a lot and it is definitely a prime example of music in a particular genre at a particular time. Is that genre and that time one that generated era defining works, probably but I don't think this album is one of them.

Some great stuff on this album. I found it a bit slow at times for my taste, but when he's channeling Dylan via the Allman Brothers it's awesome.

A much more reflective and personal album than Beck's preceeding ones. Deserves a second listen

2 Ryan Adams albums in 1 week! I think I preferred this one to Gold.

Never listened to Screaming trees before today. Not bad at all

Into the second song I wasn't sure I'd get through it. Not my bag at all really. I can't do all the vocal gymnastics. Yes I listened to it all. Don't imagine for one minute I'll listen to it again. God knows what it's done to my spotify algorithm.

It was OK. Like many albums it is very much of its time. I wasn't blown away.

Really enjoyable listen. Clasic slab of late 70's jazz infused funk.

It is a bit of a classic isn't it? There are some really great tunes on here and lyrically it's like Rock and Roll Alan Bennett

Never really listened to Joni Mitchell before, but she has an amazing voice! This is a really rich album.

I loved Adam Ant when I was young. But it was all about watching them perform the singles on Top of the Pops. not sure the album stands up.

Solid effort

Great

It's not an album you could put on any time, any day. But at the right time this is awesome. For me that was making breakfast on a Sunday morning and this had me bouncing around the kitchen.

Love it. Listening to this has made me at least 5% more cool than I was yesterday.

I mean it's Supertramp, you've got to love Supertramp. I prefer Breakfast in America but this is still good. I am being harsh with a 3* review, but for me it isn't quite a 4.

When you listen to this you realise how influential they have been. So many bands today, especially American indie bands, Sound like The Jesus and Mary Chain. Enjoyed this album.

I love The White Stripes. I'm slightly torn here. It's not my favourite of their albums but it's still brilliant. It's only 40 mins long but it's got 16 songs on it, you do the maths.

A great album

Great slab of 90's dance music

I was never on the Buckley bandwagon first time around. Some great songs on here, not the biggest fan of his voice. Definitely needs another listen.

This is what a live album should sound like. Every band should be made to listen to this and told "If you are going to play live, you are aspiring to reach this level.

Enjoyable. But very much of it's era

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this one when it popped up. But I really did. It was great..

Some good stuff on this

Really enjoyed this one. Great slab of hip hop

As a child of the 80's this took me right back. Rio was always a favourite Duran Duran song and it's also got Hungry like the Wolf what's not to love.

For me, this album built on everything they established with Beggars Banquet and cemented that Stones sound, they ditched the faux psychedelia and brought in more of that country swagger and shuffle, it's just sublime. The run of albums from Beggars to Exile is where they transcended.

It was OK. There are some good songs on here, but quite a few that I listened to and just thought ok that was a song, with an acoustic guitar and a flute. Sorry Jethro.

There's no denying she has an incredible voice, and this is an effortless listen. It's not to my personal taste but I absolutely appreciate the craft and orchestration.

This just blew the cobwebs right away

Enjoyable if you like drum and bass beats with poppy female vocals

It's a great album. I've always liked it. Some people don't like his voice, etc, etc.... but just listen to this album 2 or 3 times and you'll probably change your mind.

Not come across Common before. really enjoyed a lot of this album. Definitely worth another listen.

I don't know Kanye West or Ye, or whatever his name is now, personally, but I've always thought he was a complete bell-end. But I put that aside in order to listen to this album. I actually really enjoyed the first 4 tracks I thought they were really interesting musically. And then it started to get a bit annoying. I still think he's a bell-end.

It's got two huge 80's anthems on it. Does the rest of the album stand up? For me, not quite.

This was my first listen to this album it needs another one I think. It was ok, nothing on here made me go WOW on first play.

There are other Hip Hop albums that have been recommended as part of the list that have inspired me more. But this had some good stuff on it.

Can't really make up my mind on this one. At times it feels like ridiculous theatrical warbling nonsense and then at others there's a lilt and bounce that is quite infectious.

Such a great listen. Great voice

This is Bruce distilled into the simplest purest form. Definitely deserves another listen

Love Dookie

Another good listen.

Not really my bag.

Loved it. Nothing to worry about, explosions can sometimes be a good thing!

It's a bit good. For many the GOAT when it comes to live albums. Defo a contender! I mean it created a £250,000 cardigan FFS.

I've not listened to Joy Division much in the past. Really enjoyed this.

Some great songs on here but also some ropey stuff. Especially when it tries to be a bit proggy.

I bought this album many years ago thinking if I listened to Eno being ambient it would somehow make me edgy or at least I'd be able to sound like a bit of a muso snob. The whole point of this is that it challenges what we consider to be "an album" or the points where music/sound/art collide. Maybe I actually need to listen to this in an airport rather than sat at my dining table on a monday morning working from home. Or maybe I just don't really like ambient music.

Afro jazz-funk, NICE!

It's not an "easy" listen, but it's good. I love The Velvet Underground especially when they get their drone on. I also love that this is like The Stooges play The Velvets, you can see how this inspired sooooo many artists

It's all things british distilled onto 1 album

I wouldn't say this was Neil's best. Still has some great tracks on it

A classic

Good listen

Not as good as some of the other hip hop albums that have come up on this list so far

It's OK. There's a couple of really good tracks but I did get a bit bored as it went on.

Great. I never listened to PJ Harvey back in the day. Wish I had now, this was really good.

Solid slab of soul

It's not one I would put on with great frequency. I could quite happily sit in a pub and drink Guiness, while this played. But then again I could quite happily sit in a pub drinking guiness while most of the albums on this list played.

I'm slightly torn with this one. It has some absolute classics on it, no question. But also a few that made me go meh. I feel slightly bad saying that.

Good but not great

You either want killer songs or to be taken on some kind of journey. Don't really feel I got either with this. It just felt like an exercise in studio production

It's a great album. We all know what came next, and I'm not going to judge this on that. So it gets 5 from me on it's own merit.

Great

Loved this. I was a kid when The Smiths were on Top of The Pops, and Morrissey was swinging about his gladioli. I didn't really get it then. Now I absolutely fucking get it.

I'm not a fan really. This was absolutely everywhere back when, and if something isn't quite your bag, but it's in your face at every corner you end up really disliking it. I did listen to the whole album partly as I'm committed to 1001 albums... and partly as therapy for the damage inflicted by Babylon every time I walked into a shop in 1999.

Wow. What an amazing voice. It felt like I was listening to a soap opera, but a good one. So much drama and emotion. I don't speak Portuguese so it might have been a drama about trapped wind or tumble dryers for all I know, but I don't think it was. When it came up this morning I thought "oh no this will be bossa boring", but I actually loved it.

I mean, it's Little Richard. He practically invented Rock 'n' Roll. And when he sings "Tutti Frutti oh rootie" you just can't stop yourself from replying Ooooooh!

Hard to believe this is 40 years old!

This is the band at the height of their powers. Taking on Oasis in the 90's and probably winning on a few fronts.

Started strong, I was really enjoying the album, but it started to lose me, maybe it's my attention span this morning. Where's my ritalin?

One of the worst album covers ever it has to be said. This definitely feels like Marvin was trying to stick it to the corporate guys and put out an album that contained absolutely zero potential chart hits. It was OK to listen to in the background.

Started with some great bluesy, funky samba. But towards the end it felt a bit samey

I am actually starting to love the Fall, just a little bit

There's no doubt that there are a few great tracks on this album. But there are also a good few that just don't do it for me.

Solid

I preferred this one to "If I should fall..." still not totally my bag but some blood stirring tunes and great lyrics

Great beats

The first listen went by a little unnoticed. So I played it again. There were parts that got my attention but nothing that really grabbed me by the balls.

Probably his best solo album

I imagine that those Berkeley students lost their shit completely when this landed in 68, with its trippy weirdness and electro wobbling. It does feel really dated. I'm glad I've listened to it but it isn't something I'd come back to in a hurry.

Not my favourite Jane's Addiction album. It is good

Love it

Hard to make up my mind about this one. I don't like the local delivery but I do like some of the riffs. Death/Thrash metal isn't really my bag, but it did have some parts I enjoyed. Does it stand up for inclusion on this list, hmmm dunno

Nothing earth-shattering for me here.

Changes, Life on Mars, Queen Bitch..... it's got bangers. And the rest of it is not that shabby either.

Never listened to this in its entirety before. I should have done. It's brilliant.

Really enjoyed this. It definitely follows on from Deja Vu. It has great melodic elements

It's a really good album. The second PJ Harvey album I've been served by this list and I've really enjoyed both.

This took me back. It's a tape we played in the car all the time

Love a bit of Spiritualized

Not really my cup of tea to be honest.

It always slightly surprises me how much I like CCR

I actually enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would.

It's Ray Charles doing the crooner thing with an orchestra, not Ray Charles Shakin a tail feather in the Blues Brothers. It's good but requires the right setting.

Not my bag

My induction to The Birthday Party. Slightly terrified but a little energised.

Listening to this I can hear how much it is influenced by bands like Led Zeppelin but also how much it has influenced everything related to rock and hair that came after.

Enjoyed this one a lot.

Not listened before, but really enjoyed this. Possibly my new favourite Sonic Youth album

I didn't find this that accessible. My dad was an ELP fan and switched me on to things like Hoedown, but I felt this was lacking a groove for me.

Great

Enjoyed it, did make me want to check out more of their stuff

I found myself trying to find reasons to mark this down. But it's hard. She writes great songs, her lyrics are really good and her voice is brilliant.

Some great songs. Very very nearly a 4 from me

For me, it's one of the greatest albums ever recorded. This record has held a special place in my collection and my heart since I was given a copy on cassette in '97 (by my mate Ben, again!). The fact that people moan about Radiohead being whingers etc, etc, yawn, yawn, just makes me love them more. If my wife whinged like this I'd happily listen to her doing it all day long. Exit Music for Film will probably be played as my coffin trundles through those little red velvet curtains.

If this is your thing you'll love it. It's not really mine but I did enjoy big parts of it. More from a nostalgia perspective I think.

Definitely some great tracks on here. My listening was a bit fragmented over the day which probably didn't help. I think there's probably a right frame of mind needed for experimental techno, or maybe not, perhaps that's the point. Wilmot is a brilliant track!

Never quite managed to get into this, I wanted it to either get rockier or proggier, but it just seemed to sit somewhere down the middle.

I feel like this passed without incident. Maybe it's my fault for just having it on whilst doing something else. I actually get the feeling that I'd really like NIN if I gave them some time.

I enjoyed it in a pop country-rock sort of way. But for me, it's only a 3 star

I don't think I was expecting to enjoy this as much as I did

Dunno. It didn't really do it for me. I just found it a bit odd.

It didn't blow my mind but it was OK

I've not listened to the White Album in full for a long time. I know some people think that there are too many "novelty" songs post Sgt Pepper. But this feels like the Beatles issuing a challenge. "Give us a style and a subject and we'll write a song about it and not just any song but a fucking good one, go on we dare you. We're that good."

His vocal style is probably not everybody's cup of tea. But there's some really great stuff on here.

It's great

It rocks and it's funky and it's jazzy. It's great

When this started I didn't think I would get through 1hr20mins of it. Rai is not a style of music that I particularly enjoy. If all 15 songs had sounded like the first then I would have definitely struggled. Luckily there was enough variation. The version of Imagine didn't work.

This is the one where they completely and utterly stretched out their enormous wings. After 5 albums in 4 years they had a little rest and then came back with this! It's got Kashmir on it for fucks sake!!

I didn't feel his vocal style sat so well with the music. Some great instrumentation and I really enjoyed a lot of this album. Just the voice...

It's a slab of 80's soul. Right up there with the very best slabs of 80's soul.

I think it deserves another listen. It was on and I listened, but I didn't pay it enough attention.

It was OK, but it didn't do it. I thought the production was all over the place tbh

I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped I might. All felt quite samey. I often am disappointed that psychedelic is often just code for "a bit shit". "The music doesn't have to be good because it psychadelic man!"

Definitely one that deserves another listen

It was OK. not totally my bag

Love it, an absolutely brilliant album. So many great songs. Never mind whether or not they should teach sex education in primary schools they should teach the kids this.

Is it one of the best debut albums of all time? It's up there.

Not my fave band from the era and this album didn't persuade me otherwise

Struggled a bit with this one tbh

Enjoyed this a lot. Love the future-proofing that Prince deployed with 1999. Not sure Busted will do so well with Year 3000

It's nearly a 4* but just not quite

Apart from the obvious hits I didn't really enjoy this.

For me, it's not their very best. Still very good

Banging

Solid. Deserves more listens. Definitely more of a 3.5

At times you can really hear the green shoots of what was to come. Some classic stones tracks on this.

It's very good. There's no doubt that Nick McCabe's guitar sounds so good on this.

I just find his songs a bit boring.

I honestly enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Definitely better than the other The The album I had on the list

I think I'll have to go for the full 5 on this one. It is a bit of a masterpiece

I prefer Raw power but this is still great

Love the Foo Fighters.

So cool

It's genius. The songwriting, the musicianship, the production.

It's 70's rock so should absolutely float my boat, but I just found it a little bit too hard work

I feel bad, but I just can't quite get into Eno mode. I so want to, but I just can't get the key to work in the door.

A lot of fun

Certainly didn't hate it. Although the monologues at the beginning and end felt completely unnecessary to me.

So good. Hasn't dated in the way you might imagine

It's briliant. I found myself trying to justify not giving it 5*. But I couldn't so I did.

A true blues pioneer

Oh 1001 you desperately want me to start getting into Brian Eno, don't you? This is getting closer.

I know for many Tommy is the Who's magnum opus. But for me I want the power. Pete attacking the guitar, Keith treating everything as if he's the frontman, Roger preening and John holding it all together

You definitely need to be in the right mood for Fela. You could probably say the same about most music. This is good, and I will listen to more of Fela Kuti's music, I promise

It's definitely short and to the point!

Sorry America, I just found this one a bit boring

I just love it

Really enjoyed this

Really good, enjoyed this a lot

It was OK Not really my thing

Stands up better than some of the other 80's albums that have come up so far on the list

Needs a second listen but I didn't find it that accessible on the first listen

Can't say it blew me away

Not the easiest listen. But it's moody and at times funky

Hmmm, I struggled a bit with this. I just didn't feel that it stands up after 50 years

Banging

This is brilliant. Loved it.

As I listened a lot of the songs were familiar, I don't know where I heard this before but I feel like it must have been one that my dad played in the car.

Only OK I'd say

Have not listened to this in full for a very long time. Brought back a lot of memories.

Didn't blow me away but enjyable enough

I just found this one a bit too slow

It's good but I do find it tails off a bit in the second half

Not come across these guys before. I enjoyed it. I would definitely listen again.

Amazing

Really enjoyed this one and not just because it's got Peaches on it

Really like this album

He is quite good at the rapping.

One to play on the road trip from California to Texas, you would probably still be listening to it on the return leg as well! It's long but not unenjoyable.

It's not a difficult listen, but it's also not Pet Sounds.

Slightly conflicted with this one. Not really what I would usually listen to but I quite liked it

It's OK. They are very good at playing Bob Dylan songs. But where would they be without them??

Really enjoyed this. Never particularly listed to Nick Cave before

Struggled to get into this

It's OK. Certainly not a difficult listen

I've never been able to really get into Iron Maiden and this one didn't unlock anything for me, sorry.

Not really for me, found it all a bit slow and boring.

I found this one a bit too samey

Loved it.

Not my bag. Struggled to get into this

Have always loved this. Watched the film countless times on video. Recommend that to anybody

Really enjoyed this

Not heard John Grant before. Enjoyed this. He's definitely borrowed a bit from Pink Floyd, sorry I mean "been inspired by".

It is very, very mainstream. And some of the songs jar but only because you have heard them too many times

It was OK, but I wasn't really feeling it

He's the king of the effortlessly cool guitar riff

Enjoyed it. I know Roadrunner but not listened to the other stuff until today

I enjoyed this one a lot more than Aja

Love it, probably my fave Flaming Lips album

Easily the best Experience album

Not my bag. The two albums I had before this were absolute bangers so only fair I get this to even things out.

Very refreshing

Didn't feel it was particularly ground breaking but it had some good somgs

I liked this one, some really interesting stuff.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as Unhalfbricking

I've said it before, but I do love a bit of CCR

Better than I thought it was

Some good tracks but not one from that era that I would have on heavy rotation

It is a very good Blues Album. A few questionable lyrics even for then maybe.

Not my Hip Hop cup of tea, a couple of really good tracks, but on the whole I zoned out a bit

After a while I did tire of this one a bit. There's no disputing that she has a style that is entirely her own

I enjoyed this more than Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Actually really enjoyed this one

Some elements of this are really great and then at other times it just idles along

It's a great album. You have to look past the title track and just fall into and enjoy songs like This is a low and To the end

It's fabulous

This one had too much dugger-dun-dun, dugger-dun-dun, for my liking.

FUnky and extremely well produced

I actually enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would

Really enjoyed this one, although it didn't blow me away

The folky stuff is OK but there's only so much I can cope with in one sitting

This is a really good album. Some excellent songs on here

It definitely deserves a place on the list

I can definitely feel the energy I feel like it's the inspiration for many lo fi recordings in terms of the quality of the mix. I can hear MC5, The Stooges, The Black Keys

Some of this I enjoyed but I'm just not a huge fan of The Byrds sound

She has an incredible voice. Her pitch seems to be effortlessly perfect.

It's a long one! SOme good songs, a bit samey in places

It's OK but I've never been a huge fan of songs about dead bodies and dead, babies, or dead anything really.

I've tried really hard to justify why I wouldn't give this 5*. But I don't think I can. It is genuinely a brilliant album. Listening to the whole thing in full for the first time, after seeing it sitting in my Dad's record collection since I was 2, I think I've been converted.

Parts of this I thought were great, other parts meh

This is really good

Actually quite enjoyed this, even if it is considered something of a curiosity. Certainly more listenable than other 60's curiosities that have been included on this list so far.

It is a breathtakinglsy good live album. Duane Allman is a legend.

Not really my bag. OK in places

Really good album. Enjoyed this a lot

There's some interesting tracks on this. Not really my bag though

I understand when John said there are too many of Paul's Granny songs on here. It's still a brilliant album. Very hard for me to justify not giving it 5*

I enjoyed this. It takes a bit of stamina but there's some awesome riffs on this

Fucking loved it.

Such a great collection of songs

Sorry. I'm sure that the Incredible String Band thought they were creating something beautiful and groundbreaking. But this is fucking horrible.

It's not a challenging listen by any stretch, I enjoyed it.

Never been the biggest Elvis fine. It was OK

He get's his slinky groove on so effortlessly

Definitely need to be in the right frame of mind for this one. I really enjoyed the live stuff at the end of the extended version.

I found this hard work TBH. Not really my bag

An absolute monster of an album

Enjoyed this one. Definitely worth another listen

The more I listen to Sonic Youth the more I like them

Great album

A great listen

Pretty good, would listen again

Brilliant, both musically, and lyrically......

Really enjoyable. Very nearly a 4*

I just struggled with this. Lyrically I didn't connect.

Enjoyed this, listened twice as the first one passed really quickly

Not something I would ordinarily listen to. This one definitely puts the Western into Country and Western.

It's OK, but doesn't blow me away

Hmmm I dunno, I'm not going to listen to music that will make me miserable. And if I feel miserable I want something that says "that's OK, feel better." This definitely has real moments but it's also quite dark

It was OK, some good tracks although really not sure about their version of Iron Man

To be honest I found this heavy going at times

It's a very good album, a couple of the tracks have had so much exposure that their impact has been diluted.

Very enjoyable

Really good

I do enjoy this. It's just so raw

Probably requires a second listen, There's the hits, but also a number of songs that for me just happened.

Haven't listened to this in a long time. It's good, I was blown away

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I was going to

A lot more bluesy than his other live albums

It's good. I do think it deserves a bit more than a 3

Love it. Sometimes it gets a bit formulaic, but it's a good formula!

Enjoyable, more so than the other Isaac hayes album I had earlier on in the adventure

Hmm It's pretty full on. I didn't hate it, but I don't think I'd listen again

On first listen I was impressed. Deserves another

Awesome

Some really nice tracks. But not really my thing

Really different. Really enjoyed it

It funking rocks hard

It's good. I've never been the biggest Arcade Fire fan, maybe I should listen to them a bit more. Or maybe not. I dunno

This one is probably my favourite Velvet Underground album

A massive favorite. Loved it when it came out. Love it now

Sorry Leonard I just can't get into it

I much preferred disk 2. But you can here a progression from a big band sound to more soul

It's a pretty gentle album. There's some interesting songs that question faith.

It's not my fave Radiohead album. but it's still great

It lost me half way through tbh

I have a real soft spot for this album. It has some fantastic songs on it.

It's a very easy listen and she writes some beautiful songs. Is it on my list, probably not

Really enjoyed this. The fusion of the table with drum and bass is really addictive

Not what I was expecting from the album cover, but in a good way. It was enjoyable but at times it does feel like they only have 2 songs.

My mind wasn't blown, but it also wasn't blunted.

I liked it

Loved it

It was OK, not much to dislike.

It's pretty proggy in a pre prog way. Some great moments, some less so.

This was a good one.

It wasn't for me.

There's something just so satisfying about the harmonies.

Definitely one for a particular meed I think.

It's a bit of a classic.

One of the great bluesmen. Great live tone

I did enjoy it. Some of the riffs and songs started to sound very similar. But it definitely got my head bouncing.

Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I was going to when the first track kicked off

Really enjoyed this slab of electronica

Struggled a bit to be honest. This one hasn't aged very well

Great great songs

Didn't enjoy this as much as the other PJ Harvey albums I've had so far on this list

There's something very appealing about the ramshackle innocence conveyed here. But there are also moments when you just want him to get it together.

Nah, sorry Tim. Reminded me of too many open mic nights I've sat through where people play seemingly endless stream of consciousness songs that just waffle on and were obviously inspired by listening to this.

Firstly, thanks to those people who flagged that the Spotify version of this album is not the original. I ended up listening to both and the original is much better. I can hear how and why this was so inspirational to so many artists on release. I would definitely listen to this again.

I did really enjoy this

Hmm, some real moments, some challenges

Brilliant slab of pop punk

Enjoyed a lot of this. Lyrically really interesting

It's good fun It didn't blow my socks off.

Not one I've listened to before. Definitely will revisit

There are some really great tracks on here. But by God it's a long slog.

Really enjoyed this one

I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped I might. Possibly being a bit harsh with the scoring but I can't just give everything a 3

If I'd discovered The Fall when I was young I probably would have become quite fanatical about them. As they say this is one of their more accessible albums.

It's pretty good, a lot f fun tbh

I've had a few Talking Heads' albums now, this one was my favourite

Love this album. Zappa is a genius

I really enjoyed this!. "Where the fuck did Monday Go-oh" :)

It's good, but I prefer the more psychedelic GD

I really love this album. I think it's his best

Definitely need to give this a few listens. I had not listened to the album before, obv I know the singles. It's got a lot of energy.

As raucous blues sung by a proper legend goes this is pretty much up there.

I didn't really enjoy this. Funk rock was never a style I felt developed well.

Some tracks were great, but some were just a little bit too ditzy

I love the stooges, and I love The Idiot. But this was my intro to Iggy. I just adore this album.

Groundbreaking at the time and still a good listen.

Really enjoyed this. The beast is a beast of a song

I just didn't really enjoy this at all. One or two moments, but it felt like the audio equivalent of a car boot sale, just not a good one.

When they are firing on all cylinders The Who are magnificent, but so often they are just phoning it in. This for me is one of those. It just doesn't land. I like them when they are a bit pissed off. On this they aren't even close to being a little ticked off.

I enjoyed the swagger on this one

I actually really enjoyed this. I may be a secret Country music fan afterall.

Enjoyed the energy of this, a lot. Nearly a 4*

Not your typical funk album

I grew up with 80's Genesis. 70's Genesis is a slightly different animal. I imagine my dad probably put this on with his mate Richard, smoked a spliff and thought it was awesome. I'm listening, sitting on a train on the way to work and it's pretty heavy going in places tbh.

I actually really liked a lot of this.

Great album. Raw but in a good way

I don't think I was in the right headspace to fully enjoy this one. I need to give it another listen as I think that there's some real magic on this if I give it more attention. So it's a 3+*

This was the first Stones album proper that I got into. Love it. My favourite for a long time until I fell into Exile....

This was really good. Not really listened to much of The Cure but I enjoyed this

It was good. For me, not great, but certainly good

I did really enjoy her voice

This is a great album

It's good. I'm not a huge Springsteen fan and It's not one I'd listen to very often

I just didn't find anything that stood out for me

It's a fun album.

Not for me

S'ok. Can't say it's turned me into an Eagles fan

This is great, definitely one I'll check out again

Really enjoyed this one. Love the stripped back sound

It was passable

It's not all available on Spotify or Youtube it seems. What I did listen to I actually enjoyed a lot

I really enjoyed this. The production is great

It was OK, but I didn't love it.

Really good. Enjoyed this a lot

I didn't think this would be a 5 but it's brilliant.

Better than a lot of the shouty Tom Waits stuff I've heard

Way, way, better than I thought it was going to be

Got a bit bored to be honest

It's brilliant

It was fun but didn't blow me away.

Great album

Enjoyed it. No idea what he's singing about mind.

Surprisingly I really enjoyed a lot of this

Loved it.

Not listened to Fever ray before. Deserves a second go.

I enjoyed this. I love the Smiths and this was a strong offering. Putting any current feelings about Morrissey aside.

Really good album

Enjoyed this one a lot. Definitely deserves another listen

Great collection of songs

Didn't enjoy this as much as some of the other soul albums on here

Couldn't find the whole album so had to listen one at a time on youtube which made the experience very fragmented.

Really enjoyed this. Some great songs on here

I love the first track and really wanted more of the same. Didn't always get it.

Banger

It was OK. Some classic rock moments, but felt a bit dated

Not fully my bag. Enjoyed parts of it

Loved it

Some bangers without doubt

It has moments. I bought it years ago after being told it was such a classic. I didn't really like it then. Enjoyed it a bit more now but still not one I rate hugely.

I think this is one of my favourite Clapton albums

Brilliant.

It's a monster of an album

It was really enjoyable, Loved "What is Love?" and the bootsy collins bass line on Groove is in the heart is a classic.

Not listened before. I enjoyed it

Not as bonkers as I thought it was going to be.

I like Joni's voice but this one didn't land for me

Didn't do it for me

Enjoyed it, it didn't blow me away but I will defo listen to more of The Cure

Not really for me.

Some classic songs on here for sure, a few that didn;t quite fire.

This just feels so different to any other live album. Prison life continues around the performance with the announcements and interjections

Enjoyed this more than I thought I was going to.

Pretty raw. Enjoyed it

It's probably worthy of 5 stars but I'm feeling a bit mean today.

I felt like I was in the middle of a 1960's caper movie

First time listening to Devo. Love it

I secretly wanted to like this, The Carpenters have always been one of my mum's favourites. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite get on board. Just too syrupy.

Playing catch up, and so have just done yesterday's choice "The Carpenters" followed by this one. Ha. The neighbours must think I'm having a breakdown. Much prefer Lemmy to Karen.

Really great album

Not my favourite of the Sonic Youth Albums I've been served by 1001 but one I will definitely revisit.

It's OK. A couple of great songs on here and some less so.

I did enjoy this. But not as much as I hoped I would

Love his voice but I did find some of these bit samey

It's very mixed, a lot of different styles (!) and influences at play. But very well produced

Sorry. I should love ELP but I struggle

Loved Eurythmics back in the day. This is great

One of my favourite Stevie albums

So wonderfully demonstrates that flip from acoustic folk to electric across the two discs

16 songs in just over half an hour, makes for a pretty breathless experience. No better illustration of what it is/was like to be a teenager slightly obsessed with girls.

Great album really enjoyed revisiting this

Not my bag. I found it too samey, not helped by the fact that it's not my bag

You can certainly hear the origins of Spiritualized. I enjoyed this.

It passed without incident. But I haven't rushed out to buy boots and a stetson.

I'm sure if I were to listen to this a few more times I'd find a lot to like. Do I feel inspired to listen to it a few more times? Probably not. The production is good. Sometimes the vocal delivery is a bit annoying but sometimes it's really nice.

Didn't enjoy this as much as It takes a nation.... but still solid. Bring the Noize is immense

Well produced but not for me

Didn't enjoy this as much as the other EC albums that have come up on this list

It started and I went hmmmm, then there were a couple of moments early on when I thought that this might take off in an unexpected direction, but it didn't.

This is my absolute favourite Marley and the Wailers. album. Just love everything about it. There are some musical subtleties to this that are just sublime.

Yeah, OK. It's pretty good

I put it on. It was smooth and jazzy. I didn't really notice when one song finished and the next started. I also didn't notice when I'd got to the end and it started again from the beginning.

Where's the box of extra stars? Probably my favourite Zeppelin album. It's just brilliant.

I did get a bit weary of this one after about 20 mins

To be honest I was hoping for a bit more. Still a good listen

Hmmm, dunno on this one. I quite liked some of it. But it also got a bit boring.

Didn't really enjoy this

I wouldn't say this is Muddy Waters' best live album

Some absolute bangers and some stuff that was to saccharine for me

Really enjoyed this

I mean. It's Sgt Pepper. It changed everything. I was slightly obsessed with this as a kid and still don't forgive my dad for selling the original vinyl in the 80's because he'd bought it on CD.

Not my fave from Dave

Not for me

This didn't quite do it for me, but it's better than some stuff I rated a 2.

Absolute classic. I love Sabbath so much.

I'm never ever going to say "Oooh you know what, let's listen to that Throbbing Gristle album while we cook dinner, yes I'd love a glass of Rioja please". That's not to say it wasn't an interesting listen. Definitely one that goes down as an experience!

I'm sorry, but he's rhyming "Warn ya" with "California" It's not for me

Enjoyed this more than the previous NO album on here

This had some great songs on it. Really enjoyed it

Every horrific acoustic-wielding singer-songwriter I have endured at open mic nights for the past 20 years seems to have been inspired by this. I think there were possibly 2 songs I enjoyed and one of those was definitely because he didn't sing on it!

Love it, which may just be a bit of sentimentality because at the time this was just one of those debuts that made you go "wow". But every time I listen to this album I just think it's great.

I have to admit I haven't listened to this whole album before. It's bloody good.

OK

Some good elements. But also a bit shouty and angry. Not the happiest bunch.

I couldn't really get into this. I think there's just too much of it. I'd probably be shot for saying they needed to employ an editor to streamline this, but they should have employed an editor to streamline this.

Great album with some really good collabs

Still stands up as much today as it did when I bought this as a teenager at the start of the 90s. Just awesome

I really enjoyed it. It's probably a little bit too long. But it's very groovy

LA Woman is my favourite Doors song, but there's so much more to this album. Coming after Waiting for the Sun and Morrison Hotel which felt laboured at times.

I had a Cocteau Twins album come up a while back, I preferred this one.

Really enjoyed this album

Great album. Love Lou Reed

Great album. The first half is absolute magic. Although a star dropped off during the second half.

I really enjoyed this one

For me Aerosmith are not quite up there with the true rock greats, this album didn't convince me otherwise

Some really great tracks on this one. It's not my fave U2 album

Some good tracks. Not a fan of Pharrell's voice particularly

Nah. My 3rd Tom Waits album so far on this list. I just don't like his voice. I found this samey and pretentious. I honestly didn't think I would get through it. Only giving it 2 stars because of the quality of the band.

I enjoyed this. It certainly took me back. Nearly a 4*

This is a great album. I'm going for the full 5, I think it probably deserves it

That country thing is not my fave. But this was OK

I was never a huge Fugees fan and so the fact that you heard Killing Me Softly absolutely fucking everywhere you went didn't make me want to have any more in my life. This was OK. I don't feel I missed out on anything.

Really enjoyed this one

I'm sure that on the world music stage, this is absolutely iconic. Unfortunately, it's just not for me.

It was OK. Didn't blow me away. Don't know why the fella on the cover is attacking a tank with a chainsaw, that's not going to do much damage unless it's a wooden tank.

My first reaction was fuck no, not you again Leonard. And by the end of it I thought thank fuck. Sorry Leonard you just do not do it for me

Give it up for White Denim! IYKYK Great album

I really enjoyed this.

Struggled a bit with this to be honest. Nois is fine but I also need a bit of a groove

It's sort of everything you want from a rock album.

Is it my cup of tepid vomit or whatever it is Slipknot drink instead of tea? No not really. Is it terrible? No I wouldn't say that either. I did however prefer this one to the previous album of theirs I have had on this list.

Nowhere near as strong as other U2 albums

Some good tunes.

Soundtracks don't always work as a standalone album. This is one that just about does

Enjoyed this one a lot

I definitely preferred this to the other Byrds album I'd had on here. Parts of this have a pretty scuzzy garage rock feel to the guitar which I like. It's not all jingly jangly sing along with the Byrds.

That opening track is amazing

To fast for me

Not the biggest Bruce fan and this didn't really convince me

It's Looonnnggggg but you have to get to the end, there's some wonderful jams there.

Worth another listen I reckon.

I love Strays, this one less so but still good

I adore this album. P Funk is the best funk

This is a really good album. Definitely one I will listen to again.

Sorry, just not a fan

Still not a huge folk fan. Her voice is also a little too piercing at times

This is a really good album, beyond the obvious hits on here there are some other great songs

Solid slab of 90's dance music

Really cool album

Enjoyed this and will definitely listen again. I never got on the AF bandwagon so it's nice to be able to come at this with fresh ears.

Not really my thing, but the songs are good.

I dunno, I just find Steely Dan to be too easy listening. I can't even quite make them a guilty pleasure

Nah, I just got bored.

Really good.

It's not the Beatles at their best, it's them becoming the Beatles

To Rye Aye is a better album imo

Had they stayed together and built on what they did here they could have made some great music.

I thought it was good. Second day in a row I've had an album from the 60's by a band that could have been amazing if they'd been able to stick it out longer

At times I just thought I was listening to Vince and Howard crimping

Love it.

I enjoyed this. Never really listened to a lot of John Cale outside of VU. Cale for me sits alongside artists like Eno. Except that I find Cale eminently more listenable.

It was OK. Didn't really get into it.

There's some really good stuff on here. It's like Badly Drawn Boy meets the Polyphonic Spree

This is a great album. Really enjoyed it

It's Duane Allman's playing on this that makes it for me

Definitely some strong Flaming Lips vibes with this. Will listen again

Great fun

Enjoyed this a lot

Glorious. Best PF album. This is an easy 5. The only thing I like more on this list than an easy 5 is a surprise 5.

Some really enjoyable stuff on this

Not listened to this one before. Really enjoyed it

Love this album

This was an interesting one. Reading a bit of the back story changes the listening experience. I really enjoyed a lot of this.

It was alright.

Some great tracks on this. Some less so.

Yeah, I liked this

Loved it

There's some really good stuff on here worth another crack

Wow, I mean this is a chunk of work. There's a lot to get through and a lot of it is great.

Didn't enjoy this one I'm afarid

It was OK

It was pretty enjoyable.

I think I enjoyed the Folsom one more

Love it

Love this album

Not listened to the full album before, obviously I know the "hits" on this one. It's a good album

Another really good album. 1001 has been on a bit of a streak this last week or so!

I am no Zep hater. This is a monster

Not come across this band before. It was OK. Very much of its time

Hmmmm not for me

Some good riffs on this.

Please stop with the Tom Waits. I think that's 5 you've given me now. To be fair this one I preferred to the others. But I'm still not converted

Some enjoyable stuff on here . Never been the biggest listener of Brazillian music, but then that's why you sign up to this list isn;t it?

It feels a mile away from Pet Sounds tbh

When he started singing he sounded like a perv. Not really my bag. Too MOR

Couldn't really get into this

This band definitely deserve more attention from my ears

Enjoyed this. I like SFA, I think this is the first full listen of this album.

Beefy is always suitably weird

I liked it

Not what I was expecting. But some good stuff on here

Started great, but it didn't quite maintain that level for me

The original version of this album is awesome. Stands up today much better than a lot of other new wave and post punk records from the period.

I'm not sure why this is on the list. Macca has been involved in quite a few fairly important records through the years, I don't feel this is one of them.

This was pretty good

There are a couple of OK songs on this. I'd forgotten how horrible that version of American Pie was.

Don't know how I feel about this one. I've not listened to the album before, never been the biggest Elvis fan. I know how iconic this album is, the question is did I enjoy it? It was OK, good in places.

This was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it a lot

Loved a lot of this.

I really enjoyed a lot of this. I can appreciate that this would be a tough listen for people. Maybe I was just in the right frame of mind for it today

OK, but not really my bag

I enjoyed this a lot more than a lot of the other country tinged albums I've had. Nearly a 4*

Enjoyed this a lot. One to listen to again

Hmmm more country music. Sorry America I'm just not sold on it yet.

San Francisco in the late 60's might actually have been quite boring. I can understand now why they all took a shit ton of acid.

This is a brilliant album.

I really liked this album when it came out. Haven't listed to it for a long time. I was a little disappointed that it didn't stand up as well now as I had hoped it would.

Really good album

Enjoyed this one. I'd give it another listen for sure.

I did not really like this at all. I was expecting to enjoy it, but was served up a load of random instruments with some bloke shouting over the top.

Some good stuff on this. It comes just before they really hit the mark in the mid 80's

Solid, but a bit too long for me.

Not for me.

It's the easiest of easy is it not.

The scorching hot tomato from my toasted sandwich burnt my mouth whilst listening to this. I don't know which experience I enjoyed more. I don't mind the whole wall of noise thing, within the context of a song. But not for 40 relentless minutes. I know people say art needs to be challenging at times, but you wouldn't go to a restaurant because it had a challenging menu. You go because the mojitos are nice.

Love CCR

Now this one was a surprise. Didn't expect a lot, ended up really enjoying it.

Such a great rock album. One of the best of all time.

I enjoyed this one, deserves more exploration

Really enjoyed how ramshackle this is at times but then some of the guitar playing is sublime

This is great. Loved it.

I was never the biggest MJ fan, and have never listened to Bad in full before. When it started I thought, yeah these first two tracks are great if this carries on I'm going to love this. But it didn't really carry on and after a while, all of Jacko's vocal ticks and affectations started to annoy me.

Surprisingly good.

I really did not enjoy this. I just found it annoying

Very refreshing after the dud I had before this one

Enjoyable without being mind blowing

It was OK, to be honest I wasn't really paying that much attention, and it didn't grab it

It's a banger.

I enjoyed it, am I a massive Wu Tang convert, not yet.

It makes for pretty smooth listening

Enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting to.

Another one that I actually really enjoyed way more than expected.

Really interesting album.

I thought the production on this was great. I nearly went with a 4* but then he ruined it with Outro, so it's a 3

This is one of those genuinely polarising albums. At times, totally bonkers and daft, and at others quite beautiful.

Some good moments. A solid metal album

Not listened in full before. Some brilliant moments.

Some really great songs on this one. Enjoyed it a lot

Different to a lot of other stuff that has come on this list. Definitely enjoyed it.

Love it.

It's a bit shit really. There are moments when you find your foot or finger tapping to something and you go OK that's not too bad, and then he opens his mouth...

Feels like classic 60s psychedelia. worth a deeper dive

There are some good tracks on here. Jay Kay gets a bit annoying after a while.

It's like purified pop gold. Some of it is a bit saccharine for my taste but you can't deny the absolute silky quality of a lot of these songs.

At times I found the delivery too disconnected from music. But I do like the concept. Lyrically it's really strong

There are some absolute classics on this but also one or two duds sorry guys

That's a seriously tight swing band

Really enjoyed this.

Feels intimate and personal. A good live recording

I just couldn't quite connect with this.

Definitely enjoyed this more than I thought I would

If I'd just been through a break-up or I was a teenage girl (or preferably both I'm guessing) then I would have been all over this. But I'm neither of those and so I sit squarely outside of Swifty's demographic and also struggle to connect.

Not one that I had listened to in full before. But I really do like Roxy Music, the more I listen

This one surprised me. Didn't expect to enjoy it. But I really did.

There's no doubt that there are some really good pop songs on this album. And I did enjoy listening to it. Will I be playing the album again, probably not.

Once this gets going there's some really good stuff on here.

I genuinely struggled with this. I should love it as I do have real affection for Pet Sounds. But I couldn't get going with it. I'll try again on another day.

I think that this is my favourite Chemical Brothers album. I actually listened to this the other day, but any excuse to go again...

I can certainly appreciate this, and enjoyed large parts of it. At other points it really got on my tits.

Really good album this one

Loved the first couple of tracks on this. It began to lose me a bit towards the end

This one didn't do it for me

Like a lot of the other reviews for this, the production is really strong but if you can't get into her vocal delivery it's tough

Expected just some folky stuff but this delivered so much more

I have to score this from the heart. This album was such a huge part of my life from the time Loaded came out in 1990 through to being at Uni in the mid 90's and the album getting played at every house party very week, even 4-5 years after it was released.

Some classic Muse on here. Was I blown away by this album. Not quite.

Really enjoyed this. The production is amazing.

Definitely worth a second listen. It was good

This has some great elements to it.

Hmmm, not for me

I really enjoyed this. It's camp but so much fun

This is so much better than Night at the Opera, etc This one just kicks you in the gut and moves on without all the overblown pomp and faffing about.

Love it

This one surprised me. Really enjoyed it

Magic

Another one I was surprised by. Parts of this I really loved

Love it

Neil's songwriting and guitar playing on this one is sublime

I love Jack White and this has that classic Jack white feel. I was going to go with 4* but then thought better of it.

Again it's Bowie entering a new period, here embracing some disco sounds.

I've liked other PJH albums on this list more

Not my fave Paul Simon

It's the easiest of easy listening. But songs like change partners do feel a bit creepy

I really enjoyed this. Is it brilliant? No. Does it deliver? Yeah

I probably need to give this more of a listen. Our house has always been a massive favourite. "The kids are playing up downstairs" is for me a perfect lyric. But I found the rest of the album lacked some of that poetry.

I love Dusty's voice.

Loved this

There's no question that he wrote some great songs, he pioneered country rock, and was a good mate of Keef's. I want to love it but I'm not quite there.

This was too much for me at times.

It was OK. Liked a lot of the instrumentation. I'm not the biggest acoustic folk fan TBH

Nah, didn't like that

This is the 5th Leonard Cohen album I've had on this list and I would have preferred to listen to every single one of them after I have died. Do I want it darker? No, I want it better!

Actually think I preferred this to Forever Changes

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the other blur albums I've had on the list

Actually pretty good

I actually enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. I think "Hit me baby.." gets ever more suspect especially as "Me too" roars on.

I wasn't sure how this would go at first. But I loved it.

Didn’t do it for me

It was ok Not really my bag

You can't doubt his passion. Did I enjoy it. Not so much

Not for me. I had it on, a lot of it sounded the same.

Really enjoyed this. A great new find for me

Really enjoyed a lot of the songs on this. You can exactly hear where this fits within the story.

It's great

Not quite the classic miles of Kind of Blue or the experimental On the Corner.

Some nice moments. Didn’t blow my mind

One of my absolute favourite Stones’ albums. The pedal steel guitar on torn and frayed never fails to make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck

This was a great surprise. Really enjoyed this in a melodic shouty way. And the guitar playing is great.

At times I thought I was enduring some sort of Beach Boys' induced schizophrenia. And then at other times I really liked it.

It was OK. Enjoyed quite a lot of this.

Slightly nuts, but really cool in places

Well that’s one to put down as an experience. Pretty nuts.

There were a lot of singles on this one. He has a great voice. Very good album.

This was great. Loved it

I really enjoyed a lot of this. Far more than I thought I would. I haven’t done well with the country on the list so far but this isn’t really country.

My dad bought me a synthesizer when I was 12. I think he wanted me to become JMJ. We watched one of his Live shows from Hollywood on the tele where he played lasers. Did he really play lasers? Did he fuck he just stick his hands under some lights. Anyway, I'm sure this blew the minds of the prog kids like my dad in '76, I was 1 I don't remember. This was a nostalgia trip, a bit dull in places. But I like the drum machine in part 6.

Somebody has given this a 5* review and called it "nice mellow rock". Is that how we want our rock, nice and mellow? Hmmmmm Anyway, somebody bought me this album when it came out. I remember thinking at the time that apart from the stuff being played on the radio everything else on it was a bit boring. Now, I'm inclined to think that even the stuff they played on the radio was a bit boring.

Really is very cinematic, and deserves a second listen

Never was the biggest Elvis fan. The backing band on this is awesome. Definitely some great tracks on this.

Another one I really enjoyed but I think it would benefit from a little bit of a harder edge

They have great voices and there are some lovely songs on this. It's just not really my thing.

Not a band I had heard of. It was interesting enough to make me think I’ll explore their discog a bit deeper.

What slightly let's this down for me is the production. It needs a fuller fatter sound.

Really enjoyed a lot of this

Really is a fantastic slab of Disco gold

Classic

Better than some of the other NC albums on this list

Nah Didn’t really enjoy any of this

Love this

Not as good as The Smiths but not bad

Not really my thing and not sure it ever will be

Doesn’t feel cohesive enough for 5* but still great.

I will listen again.

Really great. I think this is a five.

This is a definite step up on other MG albums I've had on the list. The greatest album of all time? Not sure about that.

Just not my thing at all.

After having to endure Destiny's Child this was very welcome

Really great

Loved it. Really good

I bought this on tape when it came out, and I loved it. Still sounds great and hasn't dated as much as other stuff from that period.

It's probably one of the best Christmas albums you'll hear. But you wouldn't be playing it any other time of the year.

His lyrics are great. For a country/folk album I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would

Meh

Parts I really enjoyed. And other parts, I did not.

Brilliant.

Loved this. Have already listened again.

The first half of this I found a bit slow. But there were some tracks later on that I really enjoyed and you could hear the influence on bands like Khruangbin

Some great songs. But found it a little bit samey after a while.

Liked this one a lot

I did really love a lot of this. When you read the back story and the concept behind the album it's a bit ick. But you can feel the influence on bands like Air, especially the bass.

Not my favourite Sonic Youth album

She's not like anybody else. I never rode the Bjork wave when this emerged. But I did like a lot of this

Really good. Some very interesting instrumentation on this

I listened to this and thought it sounded absolutely terrible. Turns out my headphones were broken. So I listened to it again and it sounded great.

Quite enjoyed it.

Hmmm, bits were good. But a lot of it wasn't for me.

Not really a classic in my book.

This feels like Sinatra at the top of his game

You listen to this and you just wonder what he might have been able to achieve had he not been taken so young

Love this album

Didn't really enjoy this that much.

It is very good. It's not as good as Dark Side in my opinion. But still very good

You can hear the influence on people like Jarvis Cocker, Divine Comedy and Arctic Monkeys. But this was too much the balladeer for me.

I think her voice is great. Much prefer it to Mariah or Britney. There are some great songs on this. Hats off to Linda Perry!

At first I really struggled. But then after a while you find yourself being indoctrinated and wondering how much a pedal steel guitar would cost. That said. I'm still not a country music fan.

Better than the last album I had on here which was also a country album.

There's a few good tracks. But it's too long.

Great songs, great voice.

Ouch, really trying to turn me on to country at the moment aren’t you 1001? It’s not working with this one.

Really enjoyed a lot of this. But it needs a few listens

It’s good but it didn’t blow me away

I really enjoyed this. A lot more than I thought I would. Her lyrics are great.

If it’s your thing this is great

Totally cinematic in it's production which makes it actually very absorbing

Wow. How is this on the list? I get that some albums are included because they are genre-defining, and I may not particularly enjoy a certain genre. But what genre is this defining? The shit lyrics sung horribly over boring music genre.

Really enjoyed this one

There are some really great moments in this.

Absolute classic Love it

No denying the energy

Way better than I was expecting

Great beats Lyrics veer between ridiculous and brilliant

Nah Pretty boring impression of MJ

When they get their groove on it’s awesome

Actually enjoyed this. No clue what he’s talking about mind.

Some bangers and a few more that don’t quite do it for me

This wasn't as edgy as I remember it.

It's a lot of fun. I like it

Couldn't get into this

There are parts to this I really liked. And then some I didn't

It's not bad. Not the Smiths mind but Moz would probably not want us to be compairing.

It pretty out there. I liked it

There's no question that John made this album for himself and absolutely nobody else (although I'm sure he would say he made it for Yoko). Artists don't make work for other people. That's why they are artists. Struggled a bit with this at first. So I went through it again.

It was OK

Liked this.

I wasn’t blown away I’m afraid.

Really enjoyed this one.

This is a tough one. There are parts of this I really liked and then other bits that are quite impenetrable and you just sit there thinking WTF. I'm scoring this more on creativity and experimentalism rather than listenability I think.

Something very infectious about Sly

I need to listen to this a bit more to fully appreciate it I think.

Really enjoyed this one. Some great tracks

Lyrically this is bonkers in a creepy messed-up super creative way. I can certainly see why some people will hate this. But I liked it

Folk isn't really my thing but this was pretty good

Not really a massive fan of this. I feel it's what people listen to 70 years on when they are trying to be trendy.

Enjoyed a lot of this, it got a bit samey

Nah, not for me

Too much slurping put me off

Some of the tracks on here I really enjoyed. Good album

Struggled to get into this really. Plodded along steadily and then some strange Ska tune emerged which was a bit weird.

I really liked this. I haven't looked at other reviews but I can probably guess what half of the 'mericans on here are saying about it. Ha

Tricky one. I liked this more than a lot of other albums I rated a 3 but also not as much as ones I rated a 4. I'm not a fan of the production.

I do love Booker T, does this stand up for a whole album. Very nearly

This is great. Actually preferred this to the earlier Metallica stuff

Pretty good, some of the other Eno stuff on the list I haven't taken to. This was better

This one got some heavy cassette play back in the day. Scary to think that was 40 years ago.

Spotify gave me the extended remastered version. I had to stop at track 10, the end of the original release. Just not for me this one.

Really enjoyed this, feels like it gets a bit proggy in places which is nice

Too whimsical for me

One of the easiest 5* on the list. Just brilliant

Love this album.

That was terrible. What are those lyrics?

Really interesting, sometimes a bit too much going on.

Really enjoyed this one. Very different

Wasn’t terrible but I wasn’t blown away

I feel there are bigger albums from the manics

It's a bit too radio-friendly vanilla for me

I'm sure Nusrat is the very best at what he does. It's just not for me.

Banger

Wasn't able to listen to this in one sitting for one reason or another, which probably didn't help. Found this a bit boring to be honest.

I really enjoyed it, although the Born to be Wild cover was pants.

Takes me back to when this came out and Jazzy B changed everything

Really enjoyed this.

Doesn't feel as vital as other Stevie albums

Deserves a second listen but it's a steady 3* for now

This one and Highway 61 were the first Dylan albums I bought. Genius.

Some great moments

I prefer the 3 albums before this one but it's still great

Found this tough going at times. Not really my thing

This is great. Really enjoyed this

I was really enjoying the trip along the autobahn, but after a while (quite a long while) they refused to stop at the services and I needed a wee pretty badly.

I think it's a masterpiece.

I love Zappa, struggled more with this than Freak Out or the slightly later stuff.
