1001 Albums Summary

Very talking heads

Some classic songs, may contain traces of cultural appropriation

Couple of great tracks, some seem indulgent

Seminal blues/rock, but a bit samey

Deep and meaningful

Seminal hip-hop/rock but a bit samey

In it for the money is ok single (80% is outro), but would I be sad if I had died without hearing it? No

Happy Man and At Last I Am Free are hidden gems

Not bad but not special. Mid afternoon at a festival

Pretty good

Eccentric and over the top but some sort of genius

A bit samey but very enjoyable

Lots of short songs, not bad but didn't engage me

Sorry only 3 tracks on Spotify

Poptastic

World class

Solid hip hop

Not my metallic cup of tea DNF

Strumtastic. Nothing special

atmospheric alt rock

Rocky

Mellow, nice

Pretty good example of 80s dark synth work

Lots of very short songs. Bring back the 2 minute single...

Bangers all the way 10/10

Put it in your pocket full of cupcakes

Weak indy

Classy soul

Awful. Couldn't finish it. Indulgent Cali-rock

I can see why it's on the list but not my cup of tea really

Great, but hoping 'kind of blue' is on here too

Pretty good indie. Extra star for having two xylophone solos in Gone Daddy Gone

Goddess

Not my favourite Beatles album but still classic NB 13 songs, 30 minutes. More like this please modern people....

Good tunes

Magnificent. 'Maybe your baby' is pretty much the first part of Prince's career in 6:50...

OK, bit boring in hindsight

Nice beats, dodgy lyrics

pretty good

Seminal but too long

Ok

Not best but good

Not as bad as Incubus, but still does my head in with no redeeming features

It swings...

Non-toxic masculinity

Alt art rock. Pleasant enough

Very British.

Where are my ski pants and shoulder pads?

Actually not bad, if you don't mind the high pitched voice

Lush sounds, very smooth, not really my cup of tea but not awful

Excellent...

Long. Triple album long. Not bad but samey...

Very clever man, that McCartney...

Great

I can see the appeal but not quite to my taste. Would see live...

Queen

Grunge rock. Not bad song-by song, but long & samey...

Great garage band. Excellent cover of 'The Night Time is the Right Time'. 12 songs in 29 minutes gets bonus points...

Pretty enjoyable, even if the title track isn't on the Spotify version

Punkish rock...

Morrissey is a bit of a dick now, but this is a classic

ok

Great

Excellent

2 classic covers

Genius

Very enjoyable

some classics on here but pretty long...

Not exactly my cup of tea, but I can see the appeal in the right room. Includes the worlds shortest song, so well done for that...

The missing link between pubrock and post-punk. More about PP here... https://deserter.co.uk/2020/09/only-one-peter-perrett/

Good singer, conscious funky soul Oh and pay your taxes Bono, sorry, Lauryn...

lovely voice, subversive then, unsurprising now...

Smooth and jazzy

Interesting...

Clever

Classic

Girl power

Some good, some ok, not life changing

Interesting mix of covers (James Brown, blues), pop and their own developing voice

Knows his stuff

Not bad blue eyed soul

I like a re-mix/edit as much as anyone, but this is tedious. Sounds like it was done by AI rather than humans...

Up my street

Only two songs on spotify but I liked them

Enjoyably rawky

Smooth

Classic

Smooth and soulful

Classic

Would dance to some of, but generally slick and solipsistic

Liked this

Largely excellent

Couple of lovely tracks here (calvary cross and IWTSTBLT)

passed me by

Very gentle. The Roy Orbison of Sheffield...

Ah yes, I remember it well...

Only two tracks on Spotify but very good ambient

Classy pop

Very west coast, not your usual Buckley, not bad..

Pompous

Not bad, would give it 3.5 if I could

Interesting, would watch at a festival

No, thank you. The algorithm followed this up with Spinal Tap, which seems appropriate

Great

Groovy but a bit much after a while

She cool

Interesting

A bit pompous

Love Scorpio, rest a bit dated or meh. I remember The Message seeming a bit mainstream even when it came out

Not offensive but not really adding anything to my life

Interesting but not compelling

Not great for me

I'll get my long coat...

Classic

Would be one star if it wasn't for 'Elected'

good of its kind but gave birth to too many youth jazz band versions of Watermelon Man...

Hurt is great, and he is an icon but not much musically

groovy but not special

Would do 3.5 if I could

I like the production

This seems like the nineteenth LC album this site has sent me. I'm sure it's great and he's sincere but not what I wanted for my birthday

I think we are lucky to have Damon

One of those artists that you (I) think you know because of their influence of others, but don't really know that well. More dramatic and vigorous in delivery than I expected, but the action is really in the lyrics (Amsterdam is my favourite)

Classic Goddess

More or less what you expect from a Morrissey solo album. 2.5

OK, seems to enjoy saying f****tt a bit too much tho

Bit patchy imo but some good tracks

Short but classic

Sweary, N-words, H-words, B-words abound Tainted classic

Groovy, Eton John ish, L&A is still great

It swings and it rocks...

Funky band, he's a legend. Glad to hear it again but won't have iton repeat. Would be 3.8 but I'll round it up for Mr Dury

Great. Mainly bangers, would be 4.5 but I'm rounding up today

Entertainingly bonkers 3.8
