1001 Albums Summary

err... no. never could/can get past the nasal twang

seminal album by the king of pop (mid you The Wall was as good)

one of those 'you had to be there albums' to appreciate. I wasn't so don't appreciate this at all

never understood the hoohah about these guys - just loud, fast, snappy pop rock. Think you probably had to be in UK in mid 90's to appreciate them. Just drivel imho

one of those typical late 60's records that if you didnt know it (and love it) at that time you're very unlikely to know it or love it now. Pass

synthesizers-robotic voices-poppy melodies-endless droning. Guess you had to be there. in fairness...they were different/unique to that extent this LP (and on a larger level) Kraftwerk have a place in music history. Not exactly music to get excited about tho imho

One of my all time favorite albums. The inflexion point where Talking Heads became SO much more than a New York-CBGB band. David Byrne blossomed into (imho) the most creative and visionary songwriter, lyricist, musician and he guided this band onto bigger and better things. but it all started with this LP... so many great tracks -- Crosseyed and Painless (Facts are simple and facts are straight. Facts are lazy and facts are late); Once in a Lifetime (And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house, And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife); Born Under Punches (The hand speaks, the hand of a government man) , Houses In Motion (And as we watch him, Digging his own grave, It is important to know, That was where he's at, He can't afford to stop, That is what he believe He'll keep on digging, For a thousand years.... just an awesomely ecclectic collection of indelible songs. 10 stars

some classic Manchester rock/pop. although this album was released over 30 years ago still got a great sound to it and several of the tracks (Kinky afro, Loose Fit, Bobs Yer Uncle) would fit on any playlist of contemporary British rock. Give it a listen.

nope. not my bag (baby)

never listened to them tbh. seems like a loud, frazzled forerunner of Grunge mixed in with a dose of Iggy and The Stooges, a pinch of Mc5 and a dollop of early Aerosmith. if you like that kind of thing...

one of the great early Bruce albums.. not upto the calibre of Born To Run but still classic Bruce

never was a Ramones fan. another one of those bands that you kinda had to be there to appreciate. Just loud fast NY punk. if you like that kind of thing

that album sounds sooooooo dated now. early hip hop if you like that kinda thing. Not pour moi

this album was released in 2004... except it sounds exactly like every other Beach Boys album from 1968. poppy melodies, blended vocal harmonies. I guess if that's how you write songs then this album is what you might expect. Not my cup of tea
