1001 Albums Summary

What a surprise! Loved this!

Some classic tunes, Great to revisit and remember when I saw Tina live but not one I’d play regularly

Takes me back to those moody days as a teenager. Perfect goth shoe gazing classic

Remember this from my teenage years. Proper moody show gaze

Love Talking Heads, some decent listening on here with a couple of classics

Pretty good! I was surprised! Remember these from being a kid but never really knew much of the their music but I enjoyed it. Like a cross between Duran Duran, Depeche Mode and the Cure

Brilliant! Really like this! Don’t know how. Haven’t heard it before. I’ll get it on vinyl

This is one of those albums that you have to be in the mood to listen too. Like on a comedown or when you’re feeling low. Today wasn’t one of those days so whilst it’s a great album, it’s only 3 stars today

Mixed bag. Some great choons like Freak Scene but some average ones. This album could be better with a few more good songs

Wow! A pure, solid punch of hip hop! Gangsta at its best, only play this to your granny if she’s hard of hearing as the expletives roll out every few seconds. Classic!

Don’t believe the hype. Disappointed. Heard this was a modern classic, a piece of genius that has influence so many. Pretty average and garbage in places. Won’t be listening again. An embarrassment to hip hop

Good album with some big 80s choons. Plenty of memories here with some great sing a long songs

Fantastic! One of those albums I’ve wanted to listen to for years but never got round to. Loved it! Fun, quirky and uniquely. A classic

Brilliant! An album that takes you on a bluesy, psychedelic journey of riffs and distortion. Some Classic choons and some of Hendrix’s biggest and best known. Sadly didn’t have to time listen to all of it so a second run is welcome

Decent album. Some great choons but all gets a bit samey, bit dates, heard it so many times. Not one I’d keep going back to

Garbage. Didn’t like this. Was never a fan of Blur and Damon Albarn’s voice just grates on me. Nil point. (Said in a French accent France 🇫🇷)

Loved this! I knew of Goldfrapp but never really took much notice. Great vocals, lovely, airy music and fine melodies. Definitely worth more listening time!

It was ok. Never heard of this band before. Average 90s indie rock

Nah… Dreadful. Dexys reminds me of cheesy djs at family doos and weddings in the ‘80s. Not for me

Clasicc Smiths. Their sound is unique and with Morrissey’s lyrics and Marr’s jangling guitars it a perfect combination. One of Manchester’s finest

Love this! It’s a must listen to, chilled out, sits there and makes you feel good type

A really nice album, great for a late listen with a couple of beers. Some amazing songs and topped off with that sublime oboe solo on Walk in the Wild Side

Wow! What can I say?! It’s Ray Charles! Music doesn’t get any better than this! An absolute gem!

Yeah, it was ok. Some banging choons individually to be fair but as an album I thought it was all a bit samey. Not one I’d be reaching for too regularly but would give the odd song a listen.

This was ok, some good some I sorted of forgot I was listening to anything as I’d lost interest in. Not a classic for me

Classic 80s pop! Some brilliant choons, reminds a of my big brother and people who I’ve come to know living in my adopted city of Sheffield. Great bass lines, quality synth and some really sublime vocals from Martin Fry. Excellent.

Great blues my album. Some songs a bit timid and not up to the the level of the classics but on the whole an ok album

Really enjoyed this. Sublime, dreamy and trippy electronica that sometimes made me feel I was watching some sort of sci fi film. Must try more of their music

Hmmmm… Quite liked the choons and musical arrangements, some great solos and well put together but I felt like he was constantly singing using auto-choon which spoiled it for me. Like a male version of Cher

Not really enjoying this. Disappointed. Thought it would be a blinder, but average at best. Lou Reed sounds bored mist of the time. Some half decent choons but generally pretty dull and body

It’s Dolly. She’ll never fail you but you also have to be in the right mood to listen to her

Awesome! Pure cool choons, funky beats and neat riffs. Love it!

Really nice album. Sort of folky / country vibe with beautiful vocals

Decent 90s rock / alternative

Ok. Always thought Pulp were overrated TBH, which is a bit controversial when you live in Sheffield but they only had a couple of good tracks really. The rest got on my nerves a bit. Average.

It Miles. Totally cool 😎

Classic

Whilst Bowies music is inspired, his voice grates on me and makes it turn it off

Good! She rocks

Classic

Legendary! What more can I say?!

A bit too Bowie-esque for me. Can stand David Bowie’s music, below average

Premium jazz by one mate masters of improvisation. Pure class

Not my bag

Not bad, but depressing but that’s Mozza. Not the same without Marr

Great!

Steady. Not something I’d opt for straight away but I wouldn’t turn it off either

Clasic

Sorry. Just can’t get on with Bowie. Much over hyped, the tunes themselves are pretty good but his voice is awful and puts me off listening

Ok. Probably not listen again though

Good, quirky album

Great choons! One of my dad’s favourite singers

Not my thing. Ok but wouldn’t listen again

Brilliant!
