1001 Albums Summary

Good old rock n roll

1970s rock vibe - enjoyable but not my favourite!

Awesome sound - felt like a tarantino film. Will definitely be listening again

Too slow for me but got going later in the album!

Slow and dull

Didn't know they did village green!

Boring and moany

Not bad - lots of artists definitely influenced by her

Best so far

Best so far

Best so far

Unreal

So good - reminds me of Cymande

Some nice atmospheric songs

Very throaty rock. Enjoyed the final track.

Really liked this - "My Baby" was great!

Enjoyed this a lot. 'Gimme Shelter' is so good.

Found it annoying after a while

HALLELUJAH

Very weird but interesting voice

Liked this! Flower Child was great!

Feels like I'm in a Robin Hood film

Lovely sound - very relaxing

Good chill vibes. Grounds for divorce always slaps.

Excellent - can't believe I have never listened to him before!

Slightly generic

Enjoyable, nice guitar sound

Enjoyed

Iconic

Moody and emotional

Not enjoyable

Great guitar riffs - if Metallica and Children of Bodom had a lovechild

Happy and peaceful - didnt expect to enjoy this one but was pleasant!

Unreal album. Finished it then had to listen to the title track once more. Reminds me of the Jesus bowling scene in Big Lebowski...

Classic rock always great fun. Love Clapton's sound.

It was fine, fairly generic imo

Proppa Bri'ish culture. Enjoyed it but English Rose was defo highlight.

Not bad but a bit too generic for me (appreciate that she probably created this sound lol)

One of my faves so far altho personally prefer their first album. Enjoyed the heavier tracks on this one as the rest was a fair amount of electro-style beats, which I'm not a massive fan of generally. Feel privileged to have seen them earlier this year in Bristol too!

Cool sound! Reminds me of when I went to India. I think some songs sounded quite similar (my untrained ear) so will give it a 3!

Was fine

Really enjoyable - amazing voice.

So so good. Grew up listening to this thanks to my Dad! Love the guitar in 'Save a Prayer' (my fave track).

Another album my parents always used to play me! I remember we used to listen to this on the way to swimming lessons when I was v young. Never really noticed the complexity/sophistication of the 'Music' instrumental - was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. Also really liked 'What it feels like for a girl'.

Relaxing and nice to work too, although it did also start sending me to sleep. Still undecided on a lot of Jazz, I thought this was fun but I much prefer uptempo stuff.

I listened to this album so many times growing up (shout out to my Dad again). It is probably my favourite live album of all time. Perfect example of every member of the band being top quality and pulling their weight, altho Ritchie Blackmore is ofc my fave.

Coconut is such a classic but I also really enjoyed 'Jump Into The Fire'. Really varied sound.

2 stars purely for the comedic value

Dull and generic

Can see why he is influential but I just thought a lot of it sounded weird (not in a good way)

Such a good album. The title track is just so sick. Easy Es voice is my fave I think but they all sound so tight

Happy and light - enjoyed the Sitar

Loved this - such legends! Guitar sound was excellent. Will be listening to more of them.

Waste of 2+hrs of my life

Liked this one - was good fun altho some of the songs were potentially too long.

Not offensive but sent me to sleep

Some great tracks but some did sound like novelty records

I always thought the lead singers voice was very whiny, but their sound is so evocative of 90s/early noughties

Fine but not my style

Really enjoyed this - she is the GOAT noughties pop star

Very good!

Was quite nice - sound reminded me of The Cult

Lots of classics on this one. War Pigs is such a good song!

Not enjoyable

Enjoyed this - great guitar sound!

This is a top 10 album for me. I remember hearing this as an 8 year old and being blown away. Lyrics are amazing and every track is brilliant.

Fine but I found a little dull personally

Interminable - I will die an extremely happy man if I never listen to this album again in my life.

Enjoyed the emotion in the singing and lyrics a lot.

So good!

Dull

Too slow for me but her voice was good. Also the piano was soothing.

Some interesting tracks but not for me

It was ok - some songs alright but not my thing. Was inoffensive tho.

Actually really enjoyed this. 'River' is a great Christmas song!

Fun easy listening!

Not bad

Love this one! RIP Chester :(

Felt quite generic to me, but get they are big (I just do not enjoy them)

This was a 4.5 - really enjoyed the instrumentals as well as the classics. Wild Horses is my favourite

First half felt very strong and I enjoyed a lot

'Corona' from Jackass was fun

Enjoyed - their sound is very unique. Guitar riffs were super interesting, a lot of muted chords etc. Pretty dark lyrics as well!

Love this album - so many bangers.

Enjoyed this (4.5 stars). Particularly because (i) He has a funny lisp and (ii) His performance as Cheese in The Wire is so great!

Other than 'California Uber Alles' this was not enjoyable.

Massively overlooked Prince - excellent album!

Was ok but too slow for me.

I enjoyed what I listened to but most was unavailable!

Enjoyable, good blues/soul sound. Very chill.

Not my kind of style but was quite soothing.

Still do not 'get' the Beatles...

Love the instrumentals and the aggressive lyrics!

Classic album!

Looooved the first half which was faster/funky. Second half was a bit slower... Otherwise would've been a five star! Opening track is amazing.

Quite enjoyed this one, was quite soothing!

It was ok...

Melodic and chilled. Reminded me of Tracy Chapman!

Quite enjoyed this although was a bit long

Another Top 10 album for me - Y9 wowes loved this shit

He is a great rapper - some bangers on there! Liked the Baghdad one.

Noise noise and more unpleasant noise

Couldn't get into this one...

Gentle and melodic. Great working music!

Quite Bob Dylan-y. Not bad!

Love the funk sound - will defo listento others

Not too bad - love the guitar and Johnny Rotten's voice. However probably wouldn't listen again

Excellent guitar sound although im not a massive fan of the glam rock sound - feels a bit manufactured

Some good songs

Enjoyed this - chilled

Some good songs - enjoyed its the end of the world as we know it!

Overrated - do not understand why people love this so much. Also lyrics give off serious redflags even back then...

Some good tracks from my childhood (shout out to my sis). Forgot they were so religious!

Surprisingly enjoyed this one - some nice chill songs

Excellent blues guitar from Clapton. Will definitely listen again.

Overrated

4.5 for me. Marquee Moon is a banger i will be listening again!

Some bangers on here (no. of beast and run to hills). Reminds me of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4.

Not sure about this, Minha song is a classic though

Some interesting production - some almost trip hop style songs, others more prog rocky. Singer also sounded like Chris Martin. Would probably not listen again.

Enjoyed the instrumental guitar tracks

Some classics on here

This was good fun

I enjoy their tracks and appreciate what they created, but think there are better producers out there from that era (e.g. Autechre)

Couldnt wait for this one to end

V good album, liked 40' a lot

Such a great sound

Really like their instrumentals and flow

Like an American version of Madness

Interesting instrumentals but found her voice a bit jarring after 1hr

Obviously 5 stars

Overrated

It was ok

Enjoyed his interactions with audience.

Loved the guitar, interestingly I though 'Down to Waterline' is better than 'Sultans of Swing'

Year 8 Will's favourite!

Fresh sound but a bit boring

Such an amazing album - the harmonies are incredible!

Enjoyed that! Very English

Very cool lively big band songs! Enjoyed it

Another day another talking heads album

Really enjoyed 'The Ox'

SHOUT!

"its a 1 for me" - Mum

Enjoyed this!

Enjoyed this a lot. "I shall be free" is a funny song lol

Probably my favourite of his

This was ok

WORKING LIKE A DOGGG

Not my favourite of their albums, feels like a lot of same-y 12 bar blues

Some OK tracks but generally a bit too noisy for me!

Sounds like the music playing in an empty restaurant on holiday. I liked "It's a lovely day today".

Really enjoyed this - reminds me of year 12!

Not my thing, was ok

Reminded me of Phil Collins

Really enjoyed this - recognised a sample from "Abzug" used in Joey Beltram's "Energy Flash"!
