Brilliant.

Enjoyed it.

A great live album. A wonderful performance and you can feel the atmosphere. Terrific.

Didn't enjoy it quite as much as I thought. Also, it's quite a short album.

Fantastically random and varied. I did notice a massive difference in listening on a proper hi-fi setup though, compared with more 'standard' listening via PC.

Wonderful, but quite a long album!

A very enjoyable listen!

I must be missing something, but couldn't work out why this album was on the list! Middling pop with not much to commend it. 'Lovefool' is OK, but given it was played to death in-period, that feeling still carries over to now.

Random in places, but enjoyable nonetheless. It's a 3.5 for me, if half marks were allowed!

Not a fan.

It was OK. Thankfully Bjork's vocals didn't dominate too much.

Enjoyed that.

Classic Dylan. Enjoyed running through a whole album of his - it's been a while!

Some classic tracks in there, but quite a bit of random stuff too. Still a fun listen though. Would be 3.5 from me, if we were allowed half marks ;-)

Quite a robust album! Certainly demands your attention.

Quite enjoyed that. Has clearly influenced more recent artists and sounded quite modern in places.

A more enjoyable listen that I was expecting. 3.5 stars...

Really very good. Perfect album for a Monday morning really!

A lovely listen.

Started well, with the first track I was thinking this is going to be a good album. Then it went downhill for me. 'Danny Boy' being a particular low point. There are better Cash albums out there, so don't judge him just on this one miss!

Felt very 80s! Some good electronica and synth work going on.

Unlistenable and intolerable to my ear.

An enjoyable listen.

Really enjoyed that - opened my ears up to Pulp. Quite melodic in place and shows there's more to them than 'Common People' which still seems to get overplayed all these years on....

Great vocals and lyrics. What's not to like?

Well I gave it a go. Not really listened to much Slipknot previously, and that's not about to change after 57 mins and 57 seconds of this album. If you removed the lyrics and 'singing' style and just listened to the instrumentation and arrangement, I'd be a lot happier! There's a lot of skill going on there.

Quite enjoyable, certainly uplifting and a different musical style.

A wonderful listen!

Enjoyed the vibes of this one! Also enjoyed reading about the artist as I'd never heard of them before.

Really enjoyed that, having listened to some of his contemporaries but never Monk himself. Great background working music in my book as well.

Not my thing. Just don't get the vocal style at all.

From a Fleetwood Mac fan, Tusk doesn't quite hit the mark for me. I understand the vision of it not being a 'Rumours 2' and think the variedness is there. There a number of cracking tracks within the album. However, reviewing the album as a whole it appears non-cohesive. As such, It's a 3.5 for me.

Have never really got on with the voice. This album hasn't changed that. Sorry Kate!

An interesting listen and I certainly learnt something, as I didn't realise he was the original "Everybody's Talkin'" guy!

A great album, top stuff!

Some good bits here and there, but pretty random! Not sure I'd place this in the best of their work, from the other Who albums I've listened to.

Enjoyed discovering a bit more of Supergrass. Some of it was a bit middling, a 3.5 from me.

Enjoyable to return to this one. Peak Muse.

I can see why people like Numan, and I can see why it's on the list. Just not really for me.

Very enjoyable.

Very jolly! Liked it, having never heard of him before.

Not too shabby. 3.5 stars from me.

Funky. Very very funky!

Mad for it!

Some decent tracks in there.

Excellent

A wonderful listen. Although there aren't any of Wonder's better known 'hits' on this album, it just shows the depth of ability.

Didn't particularly grab me this one.

A random, rambling procession of noises. No thanks.

Some classics here, intermingled with less successful shouty numbers which spoil the overall album a bit for me. 3.5 stars.

Short but sweet.

Not a Public Enemy album for me this.

Enjoyed that. Some undiscovered Sinead right there!

A bit wishy-washy. Another album where I'm not quite sure what it's doing on the '1000 best' list....

Quite good in places, but banal in others. Overall, a miss for me.

Funky funkiness.

Quite enjoyed that. 3.5 stars.

Enjoyed that. Punchy and upbeat.

A wandering tirade of musical randomness. Very disappointing.

Not that great.

An enjoyable listen. Sounded quite Smiths-esque, which I'd not picked up from Suede previously.

Some better tracks at the back of the album, but overall - not for me.

OK-ish. Sounded like they were trying too hard trying to make a point, failed in the process and the album suffered as a result. 2.5 stars.

Utter rubbish. If this was experimental, then I'm glad. So we can mark this down as a failure and move on.

OK. Middle of the road.

Enjoyed that.

A bit better than I thought it would be!

So-so. Probably the wrong genre for me, but I can't really see this album's place in the 'best 1000' list....

The trouble I have with Joni is that all songs tend to sound too similar. So a 4 gets knocked back to a 3.

Enjoyable, although not quite as enjoyable as 'This Is Hardcore' for me.

Enjoyable in parts, but there are better Smiths albums for me.

Classic Muddy Waters. Love it.

Surprisingly good!

OK. Some tracks that have stood the test of time, but sounded a bit cliched in places.

Liked this, having never heard of the band before. Including 'Reward' which I recognise and clearly didn't know who it was by!

Good in places, mediocre in others.

Top Springsteen.

Enjoyable

Enjoyed that more than I expected, as I'm not really a fan.

Did not enjoy.

No standout tracks for me there. 2*

Bloody terrible! Best summed up by another review I saw, "sounds like the soundtrack to a musical I don't want to see."

Pretty good, 3*

No thanks. Is zero stars not an option?

3.5*

Bit weird.

Just classic rock & roll. Brilliant.

Rocky rockness.

Better than I thought it was going to be!

An excellent listen. It might not trump Ziggy Stardust for me, but tremendous nonetheless. 4.5*

Epic Bowieness.

Not as good as the previous two Bowie albums, but decent nonetheless.

OK. Radiohead aren't really my thing and this album didn't substantially change that view.

Some wonderful tracks, mixed with some that were OK. But a 4* overall.

Top rockin'

Some good tracks and I appreciated the musical arrangements. Just that the Elbow style starts to grate a little for me, over the course of an album.

For me, there are better Metallica albums.

So belters in here, combined by some odd tracks.

Pretty terrible.

One of those albums where I recognised several tracks and liked them, whilst having no idea who they were by!

Top rockin'

Good in places, with good musical arrangements and the pairing worked well. Other areas of the album, less so.

I didn't enjoy it as an entire album as much as I thought, even though there are some excellent tracks here.

So-so.

A nice afternoon listen in the sunshine.

Passable, if I ignore the talking sections. 2.5*

I remembered this as being better than it now is! Maybe it's not aged that well.

Rocktastic.

Say No Go. Enough said.

Quite enjoyed that. Sounded reminiscent of James to me.

Enjoyed that. Haven't heard much from the Pumpkins before, not a full album's worth anyway.

Excellent.

Enjoyed that more than I thought I would!

Another great Skynyrd album

Nice background music vibes.

3.5* - enjoyable, didn't quite have the impact of other Marley albums for me.

The main issue I have.... is that I don't like her voice! Find it really quite grating and annoying.

Nothing to write home about.

Really quite odd. Of its time for the late 60s I guess!!

Enjoyed getting back into this one. Has aged well I reckon!

Some good tracks

OK....ish. 2.5*

What. A. Voice. Incredible that this was her TENTH album and it took that many to get to this point. 5 stars, 10/10, A*

Joyous. You need to be in the right frame of mind I think though, otherwise it could come across as a bit protracted and laboured maybe? What an instrumental album though (pun intended) and has so clearly influenced other artists across the board.

Nice musical arrangement and excellent clean bass. Sounds well on proper HiFi. 4*

That was better than I thought it was going to be.

Stylish. Different to what I expected in places, but with some old familiar tunes in there as well.

A great Dylan album. Probably my favourite.

Brilliant.

Enjoyable in places, but thought it would be a bit better overall.

Reasonable in places, a bit random in others.

Peak Monkeys? Discuss.

A bit slow and 'samey'

Not quite as good as I remembered.

Tres bien. Still sounds good nearly 40 years on.

Not as good as I remembered.

A particularly 'jaunty' record! I liked it!

Punchy. A good listen.

A bit too shouty. Sounds like a worse version of Nirvana to me.

Decent in places, a bit labouring and annoying in others.

A warm hug of an album and one that I remember fondly. Such an impressive voice and a modern-day Billie Holiday to my ear. I'll now go off and search out some more of Jones' albums as I don't think I've heard some of the more recent ones.

Didn't hit the mark for me. And from reading about it, Nico wasn't happy with it either!!

Some classics and a few others thrown in for good measure!

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but I find Abba's stuff hugely overrated.

Started off promisingly, but alas failed to last the distance.

3.5*

Quite random. Good in places though.

Gone too soon :-(

I'm left conflicted by this album, after the passage of time (over 20yrs - yikes!) I listened to it A LOT in period. But I think the overplaying and over commercialisation of nearly every album track to either a film or advert (or both) has harmed it. Too many associations are brought up when you hear certain tracks, which disconnects you from the music itself. In many ways it was ahead of its time and I appreciate the arrangement and production. But not enough that I finished the album feeling it had been left tarnished by the passage of time. 3, rather than 4*

Random Welsh wandering!

It feels like a seminal album. A moment in time. I'm not a huge Blur fan overall, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

Excellent in places... and just OK in others. Didn't really string together as a full album for me.

Absolute banger.

Sounds a bit like a less good Sheryl Crow.

Some classics on there, but not sure the album as a whole is up there as on of the 'greatest of all time'.

Odd. Anyone know why this is in the list?!

Pretty banal - not much to commend it.

Some crackers on there!

Not a particular fan of the Manics and this album certainly didn't change that view.

Well I lasted a couple of songs. However, I don't feel my life is particularly enriched by listening to "one of the most shocking visions ever committed to vinyl" thanks! Is it not possible to score an album less than one star? Perhaps zero? Oh well, never mind. 0*.

Some good stuff on there, plus some so-so.

Pretty punchy and some great guitar work.

Just not a Radiohead fan. There's the odd track that I like, but re-listening to 'OK Computer' 25-odd years on hasn't changed that view.

Any album with 'Sledgehammer' on it is fine by me! Some other good tracks on there that I don't think I've heard before.

Enjoyable.

Not my thing particularly.

Likely one of my favourite albums of all time. A masterpiece.

Solid. Well done Mr Loaf.

Relatively pleasing

Perfectly fine - but somewhat banal at the same time. Nothing particularly stood out during the album. 3* because 2* feels a bit harsh!

Still sounding good!

Not my favourite Smiths album, but some good tracks in there.

Perfectly fine, but a bit plain and not that memorable.

Pretty decent, 3.75*

A bit too shouty.

It was OK. Not my favourite Verve album, but a few obviously good tracks there.

OK as background music.

A better album than OK Computer. Controversial? Quite possibly! Nearly got to 4*, but then got a bit moany and 'Radioheady'

Not a huge REM fan, but there are some good, and classic, tracks on here.

Sounded to me like a sound track to a 80s or 90s American TV show. And not in a good way.

Bit weird in places.

Good in places, but not my favourite Sabbath album. 3.5*

An album, and artist, where you know far more of the tracks than you realise! Must have been all those 'chill out mood' compilations from the 2000s! ;-)

Pretty dire in places, but with recognisable bigger hits mixed in. So a real mixed bag, but stays at 2* due to the other parts of the album.

Legendary.

Good to hear again. 'Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground' is probably my favourite White Stripes track.

I can see the appeal, but not really for me.

I remember this one as a tape we used to have in the car!

It has the full version of 'Papa Was a Rollin' Stone' = 5* !!

Didn't seem that well resolved to me. A bit all over the place.

Pretty annoying overall.

Decent. Enjoyed that.

Christmassy!

Pretty funky in places, but slightly wearing over the course of a full album. Good musical arrangement and a test for the speakers in places! Feel a bit bad about 2* but that's where I'm stuck with a 5* based rating system ;-)

Disappointing.

Pretty dismal.

Nice background music.

I always struggle a bit with a full Dylan album. There's always some good stuff in there, but there were a few tacks on here that grated a bit....

Pretty terrible. Has not aged well!

Strange.

Enjoyable. I didn't really know this artist, but the music seemed familiar. Then realised some of it featured on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack - that's it!

It's a good 'un.

Didn't really work for me.

Liked that. I can see why it's their best selling album.

Started as 'variable' and a 2* review. But by the end, it's 1* as some of the tracks were just complete dross.

Good, in places.

21 min opening track! Woah! A curious album overall and I'm left not knowing quite what to make of it.

Enjoyed that.

Another enjoyable live album.

Such a good voice.

An institution, and influenced *so many* others.

Glorious.

3.5*

A bit too shouty overall. 2.5*

A bit too experimental for me. 2.5*

Really good. Obviously there are some really well singles on here, but it comes together well as an album too. 4.5*

A classic.

OK.

Not for me.

Tracks from a bygone era. Quite enjoyed that.

A good dose of Scottish alt rock! Lovely stuff.

Somewhat forgettable. Album has just finished playing and I can't really recall any standout features!

Entirely as I expected. NEXT!

Bit odd.

Moany Radiohead. As expected!

Very Chic. 3.5*

Not brilliant.

Funky. Liked it. Worked as a whole album, and the jazz funk and acid jazz elements worked well.

A bit one dimensional and moany for me.

Decent in places.

A masterpiece. Not everyone's cup of tea of course, but I'd encourage anyone to properly sit down and listen from beginning to end, using either proper HiFi or a decent set of headphones.

Enjoyed that, having never heard of her before.

A bit slow.

Legendary.

Classic Dave.

Enjoyed that, including the covers that I didn't know they'd done!

Some crackers in there, some not so much. 3.5*

Unremarkable.

Good in places 3.5*

Sounded like a Rolling Stones album to me on the whole.... which is not bad thing!

Quite long, but some good stuff on there.

Clearly has merit, but I find Costello's voice to grate a little over the course of an album.

Delightful melodies.

Really very good.

A few decent tracks on there, 3.5*

A bit monotonous....

Excellent.

Not a Bjork fan. That has remained unchanged!

One of the best live albums ever? Quite possibly.

Not one for me.

It's Nirvana. It's Nevermind. What else is there to say?

Excellent. It's been a while!

A bit too 'shouty' for me.

Not much to commend it really.

Enjoyed that more than I thought I would - hints of Red Hot Chili Peppers at times, in some of the tracks. 3.5*

Not my thing.

OK in small doses!

A humdinger of an album! Bravo!

A decent listen, 3.5*

Enjoyable for the most part, a bit shouty for me elsewhere.

OK in small parts, a bit annoying in others.

Amazing this is now over 20 years old. Still sounds fresh...

Pretty good in places, 3.5*

Didn't flow as well as I remembered, but really decent in places.

Some good tracks there, 3.5*

Like most of Cash's stuff, but didn't particularly enjoy this live album.

Now that's a proper live album!

Pretty decent. Thought it sounded quite like an Alicia Keys album in terms of arrangement - then I saw she was a producer on the album... 3.5*

Classic.

Not great. Felt like a mixture of lift music and music for adverts!

Weird.

Quite a decent listen, 3.5*

Never disappoints.

Decent overall, but dominating from those 'big' album tracks.

Quite an enjoyable listen, 3.5*

Didn't like that much at all. A few tracks sounding like they should have been in a musical.

Just delightful.

An enjoyable listen for a Monday afternoon.

I remember buying this album when it came out.... feels like yesterday. Oh, no, wait - it was 25 years ago! Still sounds fresh and current to my ears.

Very good indeed.

Some tracks good, some a bit strange.

A great listen. This is why I like the Albums Generator, as I'd have never come across this otherwise!

Nice background 3.5*

Was OK, didn't love it.

Not one for me.

Enjoyed that.

OK, but got a bit wearing through the course of the album.

Enjoyed that. Don't know many ELO tracks - liked what I heard here.

A great U2 album, one of the best. 4.5*

Oh good, another Bjork album. No. Still no....

OK to have on in the background. Just about scrapes a 3* for me.

It's been a while. As good as I remember.

Good in places, nicely arranged, melodic. But a bit strange in others. 3.5*

Terrible.

Not that great I'm afraid.

Pretty reasonable!

Thought that was going to better than it turned out to be.

Terrific guitar work, as would be expected I guess!

Didn't grab me this one. 2.5*

Decent in places, average in others.

Really enjoyable - a band sometimes maybe thought of for one track, but there's more to discover here.

Very enjoyable, some great tracks on there. Made all the better by Ella singing them!

You've gotta love a bit of Dolly! Some good tracks on there.

Hasn't aged well.... in my opinion!

Crisp, well produced and the sound production certainly doesn't sound like it's from 1968. That said, I felt a few of the tracks wavered a little, which has marked it down from a 4* to a 3.5* (meaning on here I need to mark it as a 3!) Can we have scores out of 10, please! :-)

Exceptional.

Enjoyed that more than I thought - some decent tracks on there and well arranged. 3.5*

One good song, but sub-par for the rest.

Pretty decent, 3.5*

Some classic tracks on there, but "regarded by many to be one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time" ? For that to be the case, virtually every track would need to be exceptional. I did not find that to be the case. 2.5*

A masterpiece.

Still sounds fresh. 3.5*

A feel good, timeless album. One of the greats in my book.

Reasonable in parts, but overall the album style and content isn't for me.

Enjoyed that, a good sound.

A bit short as an album, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Enjoyable album, with a few recognisable tracks that I didn't know were them!

Good in place, a bit odd in others (Aisha track mainly!) I can see why so many tracks have been used for promos/advertising/games/films - catchy and electronics led. Nicely done. 3.5*

I wasn't overly taken with this. Tricky one - maybe it's a 'grower' and needs multiple listens. That said, I've never been that much of a Bowie listener overall, just the odd track here and there. Maybe I need to re-visit....

Enjoyed that and what an outstanding first track!
