1001 Albums Summary

Like a monotonous, thudding hangover. Two half decent songs: Blitzkrieg Bop Let’s Dance

So this is where Levellers and Hothouse Flowers came from.

A lot better than Buble, but not my cup of tea. Could be improved by listening with a cup of tea.

If you know Genesis through their 80s output, then this will be a big surprise. Greater variety of styles than other albums so far - Ramones, Waterboys and Sinatra. Pretty whacky lyrics though.

Like a rubbish Fleetwood Mac with more country.

Surprisingly average. Like a tepid version of The Killers.

Bizarre rock and roll, jazz pornographic shrieky man.

Like a giant bag of haribo - all sugary sweet but surprisingly varied in flavour.

Starts like a film track, ends like a great album.

Fourth best Radiohead album but still excellent.

Rock guitars. Spooky singing. Good combo.

I find this uncomfortable listening now, with or without the allegations against Steve Tyler. Great tunes. Sleazy lyrics.

I’m not sure why this was on the list. Felt like it was trying to be too many things. Not awful, but not good enough to be on the list.

A surprising start which was actually quite good. Then he went all whispery and it got boring.

Pretty speedy dullness
