You have to suffer through Courtney Love but this is still an amazing album. Starts out strong but does lose some momentum towards the end.

Tubular Bells
Mike Oldfield
Listening to this while walking around feels like being the protagonist in a bad 70s fantastical sci-fi movie.
I can understand the significance of it, but I’m alright never listening to it again.

Prince
I’m of the opinion there are no bad Prince albums, but this one certainly isn’t my favourite. It’s starts out strong but becomes a little ho-hum (for Prince) midway through.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John
I can appreciate a fantastic album, and I do like a bit of Elton. Not something I’d choose to listen to often but when he’s good, he’s damn good.

The Wall
Pink Floyd
This is an album I grew up with but was too young to understand. I still have lasting but vague memories from the film of Bob Geldof’s bloody hands clawing at the wall. And of hiding behind my sister’s huge cardboard stand display of The Wall wall. It still doesn’t fail to put me to sleep. In a good way.

It's A Shame About Ray
The Lemonheads
Rant time. No disrespect to the Lemonheads—after all I’m giving this album 2 more stars than Tubular Bells—however, I’d argue that Tubular Bells belongs on this list more than this album, despite the fact I’d listen to the Lemonheads over Tubular Bells any day.
I say this after having investigated what is and, importantly, is not included in the 1001 albums list from the book.
So… this over several missing albums? No.
This over several over-represented artists on this list? Yes.
Rant over. Thank you Mr Dando.
