Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Dec 27 2023

A few great songs, america mrs robinson. A lot of the others pretty good with some interesting lyrics (at the zoo) and always melodic. Quite a few of the songs and the album itself a little dijointed.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Dec 29 2023

Sounds pretty dated and generic, almost Spinal Tap like at times. Still an enjoyable listen.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jan 03 2024

An easy listening snooze fest. Pretty harmonies and guitar but also pretty boring.

The Coral by The Coral
Jan 04 2024

So many different music styles in every song but shoehorned in and all over the place.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jan 05 2024

Only listened once, seemed ok without being great.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jan 08 2024

A great album

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jan 09 2024

Sounds dated now but modern for its time. They're great live musicians, Moons drumming so powerful yet so tight. Pete Townsends talking between songs sounds like dialog from a 1960s Michael Caine Movie.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jan 10 2024

Heard half the album a thousand times on the radio but never the whole album. So obviously a rock opera but I never realized. Corny and catchy as hell.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jan 11 2024

Soulless easy listening, great musicianship and production but boring as.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jan 12 2024

Only listened once didn't hate it but didn't love it. Probably need another listen to know how I feel.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 15 2024

I liked this cool dancey, synthey stuff at the start and nice acoustic numbers at the back of the extended album. She has a great voice.

Jan 17 2024

Listened to this album 10 years ago and thought it pretty average on a second listen I dont feel any different.

25 by Adele
Jan 18 2024

Some good songs but pretty generic diva pop. She can sing.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 19 2024

This album really grew on me on the second listen.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jan 22 2024

So many things happening on this album it should be a smoking car wreck. Somehow it's all held on the rails with endlessly insane hooks and melody. Hard to take really seriously but impossible not to like.

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 23 2024

It's Abba pop brilliance but also some serious bubblegum.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jan 24 2024

Lots of really good songs and I can't find much to fault but it akso doesn't really grab me

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jan 25 2024

Only listened once. Sounds quite beautiful but in a soundscape avant garde sort of way, hard to get in to but even though it's not feels more like jazz.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jan 26 2024

I enjoyed this more than Steeley Dan Pretzel Logic but in the same vein it's beautifully produced and impeccable musicianship but lacking something.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jan 29 2024

Loved this, so much to hear especially the percussion and beats. Once in a lifetime is the only immediate banger but the other songs really grew on me with time.

The Bends by Radiohead
Jan 31 2024

I feel l should like this album more than I do, all the songs are pretty good but just don't make me feel much.

Tical by Method Man
Feb 01 2024

Old school hip hop, good but didn't love it.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Feb 02 2024

Liked it more than the first time I listened but think Bill Evans has better albums.the bass is just too much sometimes.

Homework by Daft Punk
Feb 05 2024

Maybe not their best album but still pretty good.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 06 2024

Only had the chance to listen once, seemed ok, probably deserves another listen.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 08 2024

Allright, she can sing, very traditional arrangement and instrumetelisation.

Pink Flag by Wire
Feb 09 2024

Never heard this album before but really like it.

Moon Safari by Air
Feb 12 2024

Loved this album. Really cruisy, melodic dance, disco, sometimes even old school like Burt Baccarat.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Feb 14 2024

Heard Booker T a million times but never listened to a whole album.l enjoyed it, it's a little bit like rocky bluesy Jazz.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Feb 15 2024

I had to listen to this a few times as first go I wasn't that in to it. There's some very cool music and sounds in there but it takes a few listens to appreciate them.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Feb 16 2024

Not Paul simons best stuff by a long way but not terrible.

Fragile by Yes
Feb 19 2024

So many changes and so much going on I couldn't really get in to this.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Feb 20 2024

Ok but didn't blow me away. Better stuff out there including stuff by Jack White.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Feb 22 2024

I thought this was fine. A bit jazzy a vibey in parts, a bit old school movie numbers in others with some grating voice overs and a decent Nick cave song near the end. Overall though fairly forgettable there are other albums in the 1001 I've liked less but thought they deserved their place more.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Feb 23 2024

Indie singer songwriter with edgy lyrics, I enjoyed.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Feb 26 2024

This early Bb King is Lot earthier and raw than the later stuff I usually associate with him. I like it.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Feb 27 2024

He's a great singer and this music just rills along. I like the new orleansy piano and vibe. For such an old album this is still a great listen.

Arise by Sepultura
Feb 28 2024

Didn't expect to like this much but really enjoyed it. Driving, complex music. Can't fully get on board with the death metal vocals yet but the rest is awesome.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Feb 29 2024

Liked the funky almost shaft like blacksploitation songs on the first half of the album as well as the more old school stuff on the second.

Illmatic by Nas
Mar 01 2024

I love this album.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 04 2024

A lot of very catchy well crafted but slightly generic pop songs.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 05 2024
Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 12 2024

Don't think I have ever listened to this before but have heatd many songs. This is my favorite kind of Dylan.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 20 2024
Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Mar 21 2024

Never heard of this guy before and not what I expected but well sung, arranged and produced very traditional old school songs.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Mar 26 2024
Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Mar 27 2024
