1001 Albums Summary

After hearing the Sex Pistols when I was a teenager I wrote of all punk rock. I wish I had heard this album back then in 1977 because I really like this. Today I also listened to The Black Album and it is also great. While the Pistols were simple straightforward verses, The Damned hav fully developed verses, choruses and Bruges and their vocal harmonies are fantastic. This is for me thinking man’s punk.

This is my favorite album overall for the 1980s. This is the album that I listen to most of all from that decade and only second to The Who, Quadrophenia. Hysteria blew me away when it first came out in 1987. The production was the best I ever heard and nothing since then has overtaken it. Mutt Lange was at his peak and his pushing the band members paid off.

Great leap back for a great band.

I actually like the singer. Wikipedia says people either love or hate her voice. On the other hand, the band sounds like the first time they played was when they recorded this album.

Protest singers should be judged by the reality of the things they advocate for. In the last thirty years, every issue this blockhead sang for has come to fruition and England is a hell hole for it.

Great record.

Still holds up to this day

Surprised that I enjoyed this as much as I did.

What can I say?

If it weren’t for Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, this anti-American would be smuggling drugs and people across the border.

Childish posturing obviously, as we learned about them.

Great band - great music! The reason I signed up for this is precisely so that I can discover new favorites from the past! Until today I had never heard of them.

You get a couple of classic tracks that the world can sing the words to, but it’s impossible for me to listen to the entire album. Very disjointed.

Pleasant but not memorable

Sara is my favorite song of all time.

I like concept albums but this idea didn’t pay off.

Distasteful yet very listenable

Stupid posing

Fantastic. I had never heard of them before I saw them at Joe Walsh’ VETSAID concert a few months ago. They are worth the ticket on their own.

Paul was easily the most talented Beatle. A multi instrumentalist and songwriter with the most hits in the band and as a solo artist.

Really grows on you .

One of the best and most influential mashup of Americana, folk, and Rock and Roll.

Fantastic

Surprisingly good. Great production.
