Nov 22 2022

I’ve rated this higher than I expected for a couple of interesting tracks towards the latter part of the album, the lead guitar is preventing this ever going beyond a 2 though

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Mar 15 2023

Almost got a mark for the music - but the lyrics are such a negative any redeeming qualities of this album are lost. Not feeling guilty about stopping this listen halfway through

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jun 11 2023

Despite being a well known name, I had next to no knowledge of Lenny Kravitz’s music & had no idea what to expect. Just felt incredibly generic & didn’t keep my attention at all

Apr 27 2026

Seems fine - nothing catching my ear though - simply soft rock background music

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Apr 30 2026

Oof - an album from the years I’d discovered my own taste in music, somehow ‘So Much For The City’ has been completely wiped from my memory. Seeing the album cover instantly brought back the chorus from Big Sur & Santa Cruz, delivering a wave of nostalgia. As the first track started, the rose tinted spectacles quickly crashed to the floor. In my mind this album had come before the downfall of indie; this was going to be on a parallel with The Coral, in reality it was much closer to The Kooks; perhaps proto-landfill-indie. How this obtained a place amongst the 1001 albums is a mystery.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
May 04 2026

Could appreciate its significance and tell the influence it had, but in itself, didn’t do a lot for me.

Blur by Blur

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
May 11 2026

Always feel I should like Rocket from the Crypt, from a surface listen it seems like it’s in my wheelhouse. But it never clicks, high energy but a little paint by numbers.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
May 14 2026
2112 by Rush
May 15 2026

Oh good, a self-indulgent 20 minute opening track. Inspired by Ayn Rand? Perfect… I’m committing myself to listening to every album on this list, most of them multiple times in the day. 2112 only needed to be heard once.
