1001 Albums Summary

8/10 - A very enjoyable Dylan record with some fantastic ballads as expected, not my favourite of his however and I was probably supposed to enjoy it a bit more than I did but I’m being nit picky. Would listen again Favourite tracks - Like a rolling stone Ballad of a thin man Queen Jane approximately Desolation row

8.5/10 - hadn’t listened to this for a couple of years so I was unsure going into it, yet it was as self indulgent and bitter as I remembered. That being said, it’s still such a good album with great Spector production and classic Lennon spitefulness. Would listen again Favourite tracks - Imagine Jealous guy Gimme some truth How do you sleep? How?

8/10 - hadn’t properly delved into Siouxsie and the banshee’s prior to this listen except for a couple of tracks, but this was a pleasant surprise. A very consistent album with great vocals and seamless transitions which gave it a really refined feel. Felt the second half lacked as much quality as the first but it definitely didn’t take away from the overall listen. Would listen again Favourite tracks - Spellbound Into the light Halloween Monitor

6.5/10 - I certainly don't dislike this, the innocent, catchy melodies and harmonies make many of these tracks a fun listen, however I feel as though there is only so much of this 60s, summery, LA sound I can listen to before feeling like I've heard the whole album. I'll always maintain that California dreamin is one of the greatest songs of all time, and there are a handful of other tracks that I enjoyed, although, as a whole, this didn't quite do it for me. Would not listen again Favourite tracks - Monday, Monday Straight shooter l call your name (primarily because it's a Beatles cover) California dreamin
