Modern classic

A classic.

A bit too psychedelic for my tastes

Back when albums were a proper length. Good background music, with a few big hits in there to catch your attention.

With exception to Lovefool, the album was a bit too slow and 'same' sounding for my liking. Next!

I'll be honest, I couldn't always tell what they were signing, but somehow liked it anyway.

Loved it! Reminded me of Uni days

Not my thing at all. Endured to track 5 then had to call it a day

Wasn't as good as I remembered/ expected

Not listened to much Dylan before. Was quite good for a work focus session

Wasn't my favourite. I suspect they are more well known from the musicians who have come from the band, than the band themselves.

Enjoyed it, been a few years since I listened

After joking about country music, I can see why this is in the top 1001. Yeehaw!

Like listening to an adult version of Black Eyed Peas - some catchy songs, others were just noise

Bleh. Too slow and melodic for my taste - probably useful if you need something to fall to sleep to

Some absolute classics on this. Great listen

Another of those where you can understand why it's in the 1001, even though it's not my usual choice. Good listen, though probably wouldn't listen a second time

Initially thought this would be a good flashback, but it then descended into unnecessary expletives which spoilt the album

Wake up Maggy I think I've got something to say to you! Loved the album. What I liked equally was the Spotify Autoplay suggestions of TRex etc. assorted with this age and genre of music

Never listened to this before but enjoyed it. Pulp are pretty much known for 2 or 3 songs but their catalogue is worth a listen

Useful background music, but the songs all sounded very similar

Made it to track two, but only because they don't 'sing' on track one. What a load of rubbish.

Enjoyable, even though half the time I had no idea what they were signing

A classic.

A genre I didn't know existed, and one I probably won't be going back to - I like a lyric once in a while

Smooth jazz. Good background music, felt like I was in a lift for a very long time.

A unique album. Did make me realise my tastes have changed since Uni a little bit though

Nice album. Back story is also quite interesting how he essentially retired in his 30's, and before that he was more of a writer for others than a solo artist.

Not entirely sure why there was a coca cola and car advert in the middle, but a 'creative' album.

Classic 90s Brit Pop

Couple of classics in there.

Some recognisable sounds in here, but I found it all a bit the same throughout

Superb album.

Decent tone but didn't have a clue what he was singing about

Took me back to 2000's Barnes. :-)

Funk, funk, funkety, funk. Enjoyed it more than I expected.

Classic from the Mondays

Didn't enjoy this one I'm afraid.

Little bit slow for me, not Stevie's greatest album

Liked it more than I expected, until about track 5 where it just seemed to derail and go a bit too psychedelic.

Too heavy for me

Enjoyed listening to this more than expected. Didn't make it to the end of the album though

15 minute songs for the win

I find their songs all a bit too similar

Too heavy for me

I've never listened to this album before. Classic Kinks.

Not a clue what that was about, but some bits were melodic

It's Joni Mitchell, so I struggle to score more than 3. Can understand why it's in the list, just not my thing.

It's Pulp, what's not to like

A whole lot of funk

I can understand why it's in the top 1001, but not my thing

Wasn't as good as I remembered

As I suspected, boring

Sounded a bit like a Bond soundtrack in parts.

Some good tunes in here. I definitely recognise track 2 for somewhere (maybe a car advert?)

Nope, nope, nopety, nope.

Suspect this is included more because of who they are, rather than the music

It's okay, just not as good as Aladdin or Ziggy Stardust

Never heard of them, but a brilliant album full of guitar riffs

A couple of good songs, does not make a good album, especially when those good songs are overplayed

Not really my thing, but can understand why it's on the list, and a bonus star as it seems to be a good production (rather than just noise)

Wasn't expecting so many hits in there

Bit boring

A modern day classic

Skilled musician, but not my thing

I expected better

Enjoyed it much more than I was expecting. Will definitely listen to this again.

Easy listening

Few more songs in there than I expected. Some catchy, some very telling of their age.

Some classics in this

This grew on me as the album went on. For the first few songs I thought it was just the usual Jack White nonsense, without the White Stripes beats, but it proved to be slightly better as I got into it.

Not sure why this is in the top 1001

Absolute nonsense!

I expected slightly better I'll be honest. One or two decent tunes, but the rest were so so and the album is only 35 mins long

Too heavy for me

Some good, some a bit depressing

Brilliant voice, good collection of songs, a nice listen. Her music probably doesn't get enough play time in the UK, given the volume of work that she has produced.

Better than I was expecting

Just a bit bland

I nearly turned this off midway through track one, but decided to persevere and glad I did. Unusual but can see why it's in the list.

Good background music

What an unusual collection of songs - there wasn't particularly a 'theme' through the album, but the songs themselves were okay. 3.5 stars if I could

Liked it more than I expected

Turned it off as it was rubbish

Not my thing

I was waiting for this to turn up. To answer Wardy's comment - yes, peak Monkeys. There were rumblings of this band when I was in Sheffield in 2005 and it didn't disappoint.

Modern classic

Not his well known songs, but some interesting things. I'm not generally an Elvis fan, so score reflects this

Little bit heavy for me

Starts well but fades away a little towards the last few tracks

I've not listened to them before. From the band summary I was expecting something a bit more original and dynamic than this. Seems to be more 'exploratory and innovative' than any good

Never listened to these before, quite enjoyed it

I recognised more on here than I was expecting, and lots of songs that have been sampled in more recent years

Enjoyed it more than I expected from the group name. Especially as it calmed down after a couple of tracks

'Chaotic' is the only word that comes to mind

Not my thing, but can understand why it's in the list as she's a superb voice.

Background listening. That's about it

Classic Santana

One hit wonders, they'll never amount to anything ;-)

Started well, with songs I recognised, but then got a little boring as the album went on

Good album. Often overshadowed by Back to Black. Wonder what she'd be doing today.

Played it a lot when I was younger. Still like it.

I was expecting this to be better.

I've never listened much to Massive Attack - wasn't what I was expecting (better than expected)

Not your classic Beach Boys, and I wasn't particularly fond of it

I'd give it a zero if I could. Out of tune, drones on. No thanks

Has withstood the test of time

Bit heavy for me, but I can see why it's in the 1000 list

I quite liked this

Not full of concert anthems like some of the other albums, but still a good listen.

It's okay. Starts to all sound the same after a while

No thanks

Starts well, a bit more upbeat than other U2 stuff, but tails off towards the end of the album

Some classics in there

Bit boring

Liked it more than I did when it came out, but it's still not my favourite. There is some entertainment value now being able to listen with the words in front of me - some of the lines make no sense at all.

An album with a few good singles, rather than a good album in my view

Nearly fell asleep in track one. Pass.

What an unusual collection of music. Didn't love it, didn't hate it

Good voice but boring songs

Not quite as good as I remember, though there are some tunes in there

Rhymes weren't bad, language lets it down for me

Not a big Smiths fan

Background music, not much more

Set the tone for a lot who came after. So many samples from this album used in subsequent songs

Okay, not amazing

How is this over 30 years old! I get why it's on the list, but not really my thing

Some decent singles in there, but not convinced about the rest

Not an R.E.M. fan, but can see why some will like it

I've never listened to Burning Spear, but really enjoyed this album.

Liked it more than I expected

Having never heard of the artist, I knew loads of the songs (and they were good ones)

Rubbish

Never heard of them but great album

Okay in the background but nothing special

Forgot how good this was, and why I listened to it loads when it came out

4.5 if I could

Just noise

Having only heard one of their songs before I wasn't sure what to expect, but this is a pretty good album.

One or two decent songs, but on this list because of who he is IMHO

Not as good as I expected

Quite enjoyed that

Never heard of Beach House, but this was surprisingly quite good

Made it halfway through the first song before turning it off

No thank you - too depressing, especially on a Friday morning

Iconic tunes, setting musical trends for years to come

Good, but I'm not sure it actually represents Jamiroquai's greatest hits.

Not a big punk fan. This didn't change my mind

No thanks

I can see why some people will love this, but it's not for me

Not exactly full of tunes

Classic Beatles

What an album!

I get why it's in the list, but it's not my thing

Like it more than I expected

One decent song, the rest are so so

Not a big Nirvana fan, but this is a great album

Only ever listened to his singles, rather than album. Not too bad

A couple of decent songs, but others are a little slow

Classic

Gave up after two tracks

Not a Johnny Cash fan

It's James Brown, so it's good, though I prefer some of his more dynamic songs

Good, but not quite as good as I remembered. Driven really by a couple of key songs
