Gene Clark

5/5

Excellent, and brand new to me as well. This is what this 1001 album experience is all about, what a gem!

Bummed

Happy Mondays

1/5

Yeah I was pretty bummed when this came up. Terrible.

5 likes

System Of A Down

4/5

Never listened to these guys before, and to my surprise I'm impressed. I had a brief flirtation with heavy rock back in the 80s, but I like this more. Will continue to explore this unexpectedly rich vein of entertainment.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

5/5

This is a gem! I'm slightly embarrassed to have never even heard of the band or album before, but grateful for the tip, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Pure class.

Entirely forgettable, and best forgotten.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

All Ratings

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

2/5

Not the first time I've listened to this album. I didn't disenjoy it, but I don't really get it. It sounds alright. Flamenco Sketches was the best bit. On the whole though, it sounds like elevator music to me, inoffensive, mild, not unpleasant... but it doesn't move me. Again I wonder if I'm perhaps just not smart enough for jazz?

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

Not my first experience of this album, it's a classic and deservedly so. I like it very much.

John Prine

5/5

I'd never even heard of this guy before this morning! Lol. I understand he's big in the States... I love the album. Added to my portable music player before I'd even finished listening to it, and will definitely check out more of his stuff.

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

4/5

Not really a fan of the Beach Boys, but I recognise there's genius in this album.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

Familiar with the two singles and didn't really expect to enjoy this album as much as I did.

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

2/5

I did not enjoy listening to this album, although I might have had it not been for Stewart's voice, which grates on me.

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

3/5

This was a surprise, I didn't expect to find much I liked here but actually I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

2/5

Wow this is a loooong album. I didn't hate it, but it's not really ticking my boxes. I like my prog a bit more melodic and less droney.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Well, it's better than Rod Stewart, I'll give it that much.

808 State

4/5

Excellent, that's the good stuff.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

4/5

I was pleasantly surprised. Big fan of Dylan's earlier stuff, I didn't have very high expectations, but actually, this is a really solid album. I'm now a big fan of his more recent stuff too.

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

4/5

This is a stone cold classic, fully worth 5/5. Nevertheless, I'm giving it 4.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

5/5

This is a gem! I'm slightly embarrassed to have never even heard of the band or album before, but grateful for the tip, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Pure class.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

3/5

It's alright, bit overrated.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

2/5

I quite like some of Neil Young's stuff. This one was new to me and it was ok.

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

4/5

Paul Weller at his creative best. Personally I prefer his Jam days, but this is still an excellent album.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

4/5

Not her best album, or even her second best imo, but still bloody good.

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

3/5

Didn't expect too much from this, but it's actually [retty good

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

I prefer 'Can't Buy a Thrill', but this is still a very good album, doesn't sound dated at all.

Franz Ferdinand

1/5

Dreadful

Timeless

Goldie

3/5

This was better than I expected, but then I didn't expect much.

Live Through This

Hole

1/5

I did not enjoy this aural experience.

Bryter Layter

I prefer both of his other albums, but I still like this one very much.

Excellent album.

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

4/5

Astral Weeks

3/5

I used to love this album, but it sounds a bit tired and dated now.

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

1/5

Terrible noise, I'm surprised anybody likes them.

Opus Dei

Laibach

3/5

A bit third-reichy, not to my taste at all but still head and shoulders above yesterdays terrible album (Manic Street Preachers) and so by comparison to that I've given it three stars.

System Of A Down

4/5

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

2/5

Pretty uninteresting

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

5/5

Firm favourite.

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

Zombie

Fela Kuti

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

5/5

Fabulous, always happy to listen to these guys

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

2/5

I can see how this might appeal to some, but it's not really doing it for me.

More Specials

The Specials

2/5

I didn't enjoy it then and I didn't think I'd enjoy it now. But actually it's not terrible.

British Steel

Judas Priest

1/5

Oh come on. There are a lot more than 1001 albums that are more worth listening to than this. Not good.

Destroyer

KISS

1/5

Are you kidding me? How is this an album I "must" listen to before I die? Dreadful. I'm going to listen Yugoslavian jazz-funk instead.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

3/5

decent

White Ladder

David Gray

3/5

This one's pretty good, bit surprised not to have encountered it before tbh.

Hmm, I daresay it was better at the time.

Public Enemy

2/5

It's alright I suppose.

Here, My Dear

4/5

Hmm this could be a 5

Brothers

The Black Keys

4/5

Yeah, excellent

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

1/5

Oh good grief no, I'd give this a zero but the thing won't let me.

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

4/5

Never heard of her before this, rather enjoyed it.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Can't get much better than this

Very

Pet Shop Boys

1/5

Entirely forgettable, and best forgotten.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

1/5

She was better with the Velvet Underground. Interesting voice but a bit of a dull album.

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

2/5

I used to quite like this album, but it hasn't aged well.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

3/5

Yeah pretty good

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

2/5

Meh

New Forms

Roni Size

1/5

I found this quite boring.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

3/5

Yeah pretty good, nothing earth-shaking

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

2/5

New one on me, I quite enjoyed it but not to the degree that I'd ever listen to it again.

No Other

Gene Clark

5/5

Excellent, and brand new to me as well. This is what this 1001 album experience is all about, what a gem!

Future Days

Can

5/5

Awesome album

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

Who doesn't love Pixies?

Suzanne Vega

2/5

Meh

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

Prog at it's best

Raw Power

The Stooges

2/5

Overrated.

Bummed

Happy Mondays

1/5

Yeah I was pretty bummed when this came up. Terrible.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

2/5

Another one I'd never heard of before. It's is a bit up and down, got some very good tracks on it, but on the whole probably best left in the 60s.

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

3/5

This is pretty good. I nearly gave it a fourth star. There should be ten stars, this is clearly a 3.5 star album.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

Man this complicated jazz thing again. I really want to like it, but half the time I think it's emperor's new clothes and they're having a laugh at everyone who says they like it. I'll keep trying though. I hate being out of the loop.

Street Life

The Crusaders

2/5

I liked it at the time, but now it sounds pretty dated and somewhat boring.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

4/5

Not his best, but essential anyway.

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

5/5

How lovely, this is a long standing favourite.

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Man I played this to the death way back when. Great album.

Bad

Michael Jackson

2/5

Overrated.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Awesome and beautiful.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Loved it at the time, not sure it stands up these days.

The Band

3/5

To my surprise I rather enjoyed this. I've listened to it a few times and not been particularly impressed, but this time it kind of worked for me. I might even like it.

Kala

M.I.A.

4/5

Unique and brilliantly inventive, MIA is a treasure.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

It's alright, but extremely overrated.

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

1/5

Seriously? How did this make the list?

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

1/5

Thanks, I hate it. Zero stars should be an option.

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

1/5

This is awful, I didn't listen to much

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Well it's not terrible

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax

3/5

Good background music, ideal to fall asleep with.

Quiet Life

Japan

1/5

Terrible.

S&M

Metallica

2/5

I want to like it, but it's a bit too energetic for my brain.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

1/5

Nah.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

2/5

It's alright, but not really my cup of tea.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Well that's more like it, this is a beautiful album. All of Fiona Apple's stuff is great.

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

4/5

This has gone a long way towards rekindling my long lost love of heavier rock. I like this a lot.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

1/5

Boring, derivative, annoying voice.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

3/5

This was a new one on me. Jazz is still mysterious to me, but I did quite enjoy this.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

1/5

This is a bit too try-hard for my taste. Almost like a parody of heavy rock.

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

2/5

There are some truly memorable parts to this album, and some entirely forgettable parts. Great and rubbish in equal measure.

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

Never heard this before, I like it.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

1/5

I'm getting very strong "surely-there-are-1001-better-albums-than-this" vibes from this one.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

2/5

It's alright, bit overrated.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

What a great band. This is not even their best album.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Ethereal beauty for the ears.

The Stooges

1/5

Terrible.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

3/5

Better than I expected.

Os Mutantes

2/5

Hmmm nah. I mean, there's something there sure but I'd need to listen to it a few times and I don't feel like it.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

3/5

This is pretty good. Surprised i've not listened to it before, I suppose back in then it wasn't so easy to listen to all of the music as it is today.

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

3/5

Ok, when I saw this come up I thought "ugh more country", but I played it anyway and I'm very glad I did. This is a decent album.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

2/5

I enjoyed this years ago. Today it sounds a bit old and weak. Not unlike me.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

2/5

I used to like this, now it just sounds dated.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Stunning album.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

Very pleasant

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

1/5

Nope

Tapestry

Carole King

3/5

A favourite once upon a time. It hasn't aged so well, but then who has?

The Velvet Underground

4/5

I wasn't goint to listen to this one. I was a big fan for a while back in the 80s, but I grew to hate them with a passion and haven't heard any for aaaages. But I put it on anyway. I guess any album that gets overplayed as much as this has to be considered something special.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

1/5

I did not enjoy this at all.

Ramones

1/5

I do not like the Ramones.

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

2/5

Not for me.

Little Simz

1/5

Thanks, I hate it.

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

This was good.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

This one takes me back.

Skylarking

XTC

5/5

I think this is the fourth or even fifth listen through of this one, and suddenly I like it, I like it a lot.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

4/5

This was a surprise, I thought I hated these guys but it turns out I was wrong.

Me Against The World

2Pac

3/5

This was alright. I think I could get to like it if I played it a few times.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

This was a revelation. I'm familiar with Pet Sounds, and to be honest, not that mad for it. This one's a far more interesting piece of work. Apart from the Student Protest song, which is terrible.

Faith

George Michael

2/5

Well, it's not terrible or offensive, but it's pretty bland. I'm quite prepared to believe it's his best work.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

2/5

Never listened to The Fall before. I probably never will again.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

2/5

I'd like this album, but for the Marley cover.

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Never listened to this one before, I should listen to more of his stuff, it's always good.

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

3/5

Great, but surprisingly dated already.

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

I didn't expect to enjoy this one, but actually it's pretty great. Sounds like the 60s.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

1/5

This I did not like

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

Great!

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

It's alright

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

1/5

I really want to like this, but I don't.

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

4/5

Beautiful album, easily the best of Prefab Sprout

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Better than I expected

The Real Thing

Faith No More

2/5

I just don't like his voice

Fragile

Yes

5/5

Brilliant, love it to bits.

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

4/5

This is not something I'd generally play, but it's a great piece of work

Blue

Joni Mitchell

3/5

I don't really like this at all, but there was a time when i did.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

3/5

I never really 'got' PJ previously, but having listened through this one I'm going to put a bit of effort into doing so. I think this may be a great album.

Black Monk Time

The Monks

3/5

Interesting! Never heard of before, I think i would have loved this a decade or two ago

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

2/5

Well, I'll say this much; my mother loves him. Personally I can't bear him.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Beautiful, as always, this never gets old

The Yes Album

Yes

5/5

Their best work imo

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

4/5

Very underrated band and album. Excellent.

Cypress Hill

4/5

Didn't expect much, actually it's bloody brilliant.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

2/5

I loved these a long time ago, now, they sound like a long time ago.

Pink Flag

Wire

2/5

Getting a bit tired of these old punk 'golds' tbqh. I know there's a legacy thing, but they're all sounding quite stale these days.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

2/5

I thought I'd love this one, but actually, what I'm thinking is that it's self-indulgent and a bit boring.

Femi Kuti

2/5

Hmm. Not my thing, but I don't hate it.

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

I didn't want to like this, I wanted to be able to say it's terrible. Can't help but enjoy it though, even the atrociously worded 'Dum dum Diddle'. Silly, lovely Swedes.

Suede

2/5

Never liked 'em. Still don't.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

4/5

Awesome album, nice to be reminded of this one.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

It's a hard choice, but I've always picked this as the best Led Zep album. Pretty much perfect.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

For some reason I've never listened to Pavement before, although obviously I was aware of them. Strange really, as they're certainly the sort of band I like. Great album, wonder why it took so long to get around to hearing it...

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

3/5

New one on me, pretty good

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

3/5

Honestly, I usually don't find much of value in the sixties tips I've had from this project, but I'm enjoying this one.

Violent Femmes

3/5

Yes alright, this is a good album.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

5/5

Legendary.

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

1/5

Oh my gosh I did not like this one bit.

Tago Mago

Can

4/5

Yes that's great, excellent album, but it still doesn't make up for making me listen to that execrable garbage by 'Missy Elliot' yesterday.

Back In Black

AC/DC

5/5

Great, one of the best rock albums ever made.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

I loved this when it came out, now though, it sounds a bit bland.

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

1/5

I didn't enjoy this. Dated and messy.

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Overplayed but still great

Le Tigre

2/5

Catchy, but I find it rather annoying. Sounds like advert music.

Maxinquaye

Tricky

3/5

Yeah ok Rob, I agree, Tricky are alright.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

1/5

No.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Yeah great brilliant album, overplayed to death and beyond but I guess I shouldn't hold that against 'em.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

Always a pleasure

Ananda Shankar

2/5

I would like it if it wasn't for all the covers. Like sitars, hate covers.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

5/5

Now that's an awesome album.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

3/5

I liked this much better than 'Under Construction'. I don't think it's right that Missy Elliot has two albums in the 1001 albums you 'must hear' before you die though.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

4/5

I like this. One of the eyebrow-raising things I've found with this exercise is that I like heavier rock more than I thought I did.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

2/5

Who composed this list anyway? I mean, I don't hate this album, but I could happily live my life without listening to it.

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

1/5

This didn't talk to me.

Risque

CHIC

3/5

It's not terrible.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

2/5

Bit too twangy/country for my tastes, but some catchy tunes there.

Parachutes

Coldplay

1/5

Ugh.

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

3/5

Yeah that's alright

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

5/5

Exceptional

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

5/5

Goddamn Prince was good. This is a superb album, obviously.

Black Metal

Venom

3/5

Did not expect to enjoy this one, was again surprised. Don't think they'll be a regular play for me, but I have new respect for Venom.

Fleet Foxes

5/5

Beautiful album

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

Can't imagine why I've never listened to this before, I guess I got into the band on their second release and just never got round to chasing this up. Great album.

Nowhere

Ride

3/5

I guess I missed these guys when they were current, but it's decent.

The Joshua Tree

2/5

Not rubbish, but not for me.

The Modern Lovers

2/5

At the time I'd have given it four stars. Couldn't say why now though!

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

5/5

Such a good album. I've played it three times today, including the demos.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

1/5

I found this boring.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

5/5

This is a six stars album.

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

I always want to like Nick Cave, but usually I can't find much to like. This one is alright though.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

4/5

Still sounds great.

Rocks

Aerosmith

2/5

Nah too shouty

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

1/5

Awful

The Only Ones

2/5

I don't like 'em much

Abbey Road

Beatles

3/5

It's one of their best, if you like that sort of thing.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

3/5

Respect but not enjoy.

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Bored

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

I enjoyed this more than I wanted to and more than I expected.

Paris 1919

John Cale

3/5

Actually not as good as I remembered. Huh.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Just about perfect.

I Against I

Bad Brains

4/5

The last time I listened to these guys I found nothing to interest me. That was in 1985. This time they sound great!

The Who Sell Out

The Who

2/5

I just don't like 'em.

Beautiful Freak

Eels

4/5

I like Eels, but I'm still not convinced about the many worlds paradigm.

Horses

Patti Smith

4/5

Well that's interesting. Previously I've never enjoyed Patti Smith's work, but this time round I like it enough to add to my library. I might even like this a lot now.

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

MC Solaar

3/5

Yeah I could get into this. Three and a half really.

The Rising

Bruce Springsteen

1/5

This is a boring album.

2112

Rush

3/5

Not as good as i'd like it to be

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

1/5

Not for me. That 80s synth pop still grates.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

Not a band I'd ever really listened to before, but yeah, this sounds good on first listen. I am inclined to add it to my playlist and investigate more of their stuff.

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

3/5

I do like it, but it's all a bit samey.

Adele

3/5

Expected to hate it, actually it's not bad at all.

Viva Hate

Morrissey

2/5

I'm not a fan of Morrisey or the Smiths, but if I was I probably would enjoy this as it sounds very much like everything else he and they have done.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

4/5

I don't know how these guys dropped out of my library, they're great. Love this album.

Sound Affects

The Jam

This is great, I'd only ever heard his hits before this.

Kid A

This is a fantastic album. I didn't really take to it at first, it being such a departure from the previous output, but it doesn't take many playthroughs before it's beauty begins to become apparent. A long-standing favourite.
