1001 Albums Summary

Quintessential 2010s album

Incredible voice, unbelievable boring and unlistenable as more than one song at a time.

It's weird, it's wacky. It's not for everyone. Glad Ive heard, but probably won't listen to it again.

Non offensive easy going 90s grunge. It's fine, but fairly forgettable.

Some hits,.some misses. Doesn't work as well as 90s Fatboy Slim does.

A couple of good hits. A classic rock opera story telling wise.

Nice voice, but very boring album.

A couple of good songs on there. But generic 90s guitar rock that seems pretty uninspired for the most part

I don't it. I didn't get it in their prime and not again now. Sometimes you think you hear a banger. And then it goes on for just too long. Or there is an immediate dip into drole-ness taking any intensity and excitement out of the song.

Will never get bored of listening to this on a Sunday morning.

Basic, early 2000s British RnB. It's not a bad album, but it certainly doesn't belong on 1001 albums you must hear.

I'm not a big fan of Radiohead. But this album holds a soft spot on my heart. Always nice to hear it.

Better than moondance

Nice folk album, a bit melancholy.

Noodly and chaotic. Hit and miss overall.

It's a classic, iconic year defining album. It's also desperately dull and depressing.

Man drones on over synths, then man drones on over synths in a higher pitch. No thanks

3 songs in and turned it off. Unlistenable noise and shouting mumblings.

I've never heard of the film Superfly. But good lord has this album made me want to watch it.

I grew up with this album, some definite favourites in there.

I understand who he is, and what he is to the music world. But I can't stand his monotone droning for a 4minute song let alone 41minutes.

Painfully generic. Let me entertain you is a banger. But I can't understand why this below average album is on this list.

I don't get bob Dylan. He's a poet and songwriter, and should have stayed away from being a 'frontman' he's very very boring. The upbeat bluesy songs stand out. The rest are skippable.

He's a terrible person. Album very average.

Second half of the album is far superior to the first. The blues influence is stronger making for a much better experience.

A few decent songs. But pretty unmemorable. Sorry Lenny.

Garage rock cover versions. And not outstanding covers at that.

By the time I got halfway through, I thought I was still on track 1. Techno ambience but in a desperately dull way.

Not my thing. She's got a nice voice. But desperately dull.

Upbeat glam rock, but with the lyrics of teenagers

Oh nooo. Very country isn't it. Lyrically more interesting than others. But strong country.

Solid blues

A couple of good catchy pop folk, and some dull generic folk songs. All in all, better than I expected.

Electro, funky, soul. All the best things. Fantastic voice. Superstition will forever be one of the best songs of all time.

Noise. Someone please tell me what I'm missing.

He's an egotistical god complex moron. That's probably what makes his music as enjoyable as it is. Still not my thing.

It's a bit dull isn't it?

Very generic.

Couldn't finish. Don't like his voice, and this is a dull dull album

I like incubus. It's a great album. Funk fusion esq music from the 90s warms my heart.

I'm not a fan of jazz singers, but Sarah Vaughan will always be my exception.

While it wasn't bad, it was too much Randy Newman.

I went in with low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this.

Say what you will, but cocaine made some very entertaining music 'back in the day'

There is absolutely no reason for 2 AC/DC albums to be on this list. Once you've heard one of their songs, you've heard them all.

Country folk, very monotone. Not my thing at all, and ended up liking it in the end. All Thoughts are Prey to Some Beast is the highlight for me.

One of my favourite Sunday morning jazz records

This is just too much. Brilliant stereo recording. But 40minutes is far too much, unless Congo is your thing.

Very talented men. Kept waiting for something to happen in the album. But the album never kicked in. Just started then ended.

Now I don't like Leonard Cohen. But I can appreciate the man is a talented poet. And whoever decided it was a good idea to butcher his words with an 80s synth album doesn't deserve to work in the music industry. Good god this is an insulting album to everyone involved.

Went in with low expectations based on the genre and name. What a surprise! This was brilliant. Hits for days and great fun

There are some great moments on this. It just needs to be 20mins shorter.

It's pretty good folk rock album. But there's an awful lot of it at once.

Is It a solid 5/5 beginning to end? No. Do I understand why people don't like it? Absolutely. But it deserves to be on this list.

Great bossanova.

Some great songs, folkrock/jazz vibes. Overall not that exciting over a long period of time.

You have to be a really big fan of Nirvana to really enjoy this. I like Nirvana, it's a bit much.

This is by far not the best Foos album. It's just Grohl having a good time on his own. But it definetly feels like a one man band.

80s hair metal is all so similar, but I have a soft spot for this specific generic album in particular. It's good fun.

Loud and abrasive and I quite liked it.

Loud, aggressive punky music. I'm not sure why it's on this list, but I do love it.

Hip hop isn't really my thing, but I enjoyed bits of this more than I expected.

I would put this on for my gran when she comes round.

I spent a solid 9 months ripping into a friend for liking Radiohead. But actually, this is moody and rocky and I really enjoyed it. I'll never tell him.

Nobody has heard of this band. Who knows why they're on this list. It's a decent album. Off brand Hot Chip. But not list worthy.

She's got a fantastic voice. Absolutely timeless. Definitely for background music however. 3 hours of it straight is far too much.

I'm not sure what I expected, but bland, below average pop tunes was not it.

It is was weird and interesting, and I'm not really sure why it's on this list.

Better than his others

Desperately below average early 2000s garage.

This is what's playing in the background in a trendy bar. Wildy uninteresting beats.

A truly self indulgent hair metal album, but it ticks all the boxes

Imagine having a bad day, and then hearing this at the end of it. I'd rather just not make it home.

Average pop album from old woman who's desperate to stay young. Ray of Light is still a fantastic song.

There are some good elements to this album. But I'll be honest. I don't 'get' Abba. It's not for me.

I went in with low expectations, but actually this was alot more serious than I expected and I enjoyed it first bit. Country rock and roll.

Why would you start with Take on Mr, and then k t the rest of the album bore you.

Run DMC was very influential yes. But this is 30mins of VERY repetitive dated beats.

I love Beck. Fun and experimental. There's enough bits to counteract his misses.

I like it. 90s indie rock. Kool thing is a great song.

Uninspired 90s electronica.

These gents really knew what they were doing for this album didn't they. Welcome Home is my highlight

Am I too young? Do I not do enough drugs. What am I missing here?

28minutes. Each song is under 3minutes. That's the correct amount of time to enjoy Elvis. Any longer and it's too much.

Very bland. Nothing stood out.

If you ignore the ego that they become, it's a great album.

It's a background album isn't it. It's not and, but it's not something you listen to intently. It just plays in the background while you play videogames or get high.

I love the first half of this record. Second half doesn't do it for me.

This is wild.

Fairly uninspired indie. Reminds me alot of being 14.

He's a classic. He's got a great voice. Everyone loves him. But 50minutes is too much.

I'm a fan of these 90s pop rock bands. This isn't the best example however.

Queer 80s pop. But shit.

First half was funky and groovy. Second half was dull

Noodling that isn't for me.

I was bored

I enjoyed it. You certainly don't need to hear it before you die. Can't fathom why it's on this list.

Yeah, the famous songs are fine aren't they, but generally very bland.

This is the second mbv album I've come to on this list. 1 doesn't need to be on here, let alone 2 of them.

It's good fun. I like it.

This was wild and unexpected.

Inoffensive pop rock.

Absolute drivel. Even the hit single sucks.

I like industrial rock, I like angry music. I like Trent Reznors music. Instrumental and metal alike. 5/5 no notes.

Its like boring soundscapes that should be found in a museum exhibit. But there's no interesting visuals to go with it.

It has arguably the worst opening track of an album I've ever heard. And then goes on to be a decent pop album? It's full of hits. It's non offensive nice pop music. Not worth the cult. But perfectly enjoyable starting from track 2.

As somebody who is not a fan of reggae. This album is not helping the case.

Influential.

Very generic, quite inspiring. Every song kind of felt the same.

I grew up with this and thought I was was peak rnb. As an adult I now realise it for what it is. Decent hits but fairly mediocre.
