He's a terrible person. Album very average.
Bob Dylan · 2 likes
2/5
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.
Leonard Cohen · 2 likes
1/5
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.

A couple of good songs on there. But generic 90s guitar rock that seems pretty uninspired for the most part
2/5
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.

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

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

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

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.
Robbie Williams
2/5
Painfully generic. Let me entertain you is a banger. But I can't understand why this below average album is on this list.
Bob Dylan
2/5
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.

Solid blues
Beth Orton
3/5
A couple of good catchy pop folk, and some dull generic folk songs. All in all, better than I expected.
Stevie Wonder
4/5
Electro, funky, soul. All the best things. Fantastic voice. Superstition will forever be one of the best songs of all time.

Traffic
3/5
Bill Callahan
3/5
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
Alanis Morissette

Paul Revere & The Raiders

Sabu
2/5
This is just too much. Brilliant stereo recording. But 40minutes is far too much, unless Congo is your thing.
Pink Floyd
3/5
Very talented men. Kept waiting for something to happen in the album. But the album never kicked in. Just started then ended.
Leonard Cohen
1/5
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
Astor Piazzolla
3/5
There are some great moments on this. It just needs to be 20mins shorter.
The Waterboys
3/5
It's pretty good folk rock album. But there's an awful lot of it at once.
The Beach Boys
4/5
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.

Joni Mitchell
3/5
Some great songs, folkrock/jazz vibes. Overall not that exciting over a long period of time.
Nirvana
4/5
You have to be a really big fan of Nirvana to really enjoy this. I like Nirvana, it's a bit much.
Foo Fighters
4/5
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.
Van Halen
3/5
80s hair metal is all so similar, but I have a soft spot for this specific generic album in particular. It's good fun.

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.
