1001 Albums Summary

Heard before, don't mind it, not a fan of Jagger though

I fucking hate Bob Dylan.

Only been doing this three days and already had two Stones albums

Never vibed with the Beasties. Adam's voice grates on my soul

Been doing this for 6 days and I've had three Rolling Stones albums. Am I going to listen to 500 fucking Stones records before I'm done?

Sounds like a kid who's just discovered the 'samples and sound effects' buttons on their first keyboard. I preferred when they were making plans for Nigel

"1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" and you want me to waste precious minutes of my life listening to fucking Coldplay?! Are you fucking serious? This list sucks

Worked in a record shop as a teenager where half the staff worshipped this album. Never been a big favourite of mine but it's grand

Worked in a record shop for this whole decade and I consider most 00s indie to be a war crime

Heard this many times over the years and always had passing respect for it, more of a "don't mind it being on but wouldn't put it on myself" kinda thing. But I enjoyed it more than I remembered!

KLF following Happy Mondays is alright by me

I hate this prick

Still can't believe we lost Sinéad and Shane in the same year. Ireland says fuck 2023

Absolute banger, even if it does go a bit Blackpool Pier at times

Somehow this band has always passed me by, despite liking many similar-sounding alternative 80s bands. Really dug this

90s hip hop was more my jam but this still slaps

This was one album I didn't need to listen to, been playing it for like 25 years now. Absolute classic. Strong chance of being the best album on this list

Not to be a hipster but I hated Kanye before it was cool. Jesus Walks is a banger though, I'll concede that

Speaks to just how great this album is that I give it 5* despite Billy Corgan's godawful voice. I am frequently haunted by the idea of how incredible the Pumpkins could have been with a decent singer

Haven't listened to this since I obsessively listened to "The End Of The World As We Know It" back when Independence Day came out

Nu Rave was an abomination

Fairly standard 60s psychedelic rock. Was grand but it kinda faded into the background while I listened.

Listened to this when it came out. Didn't get it then, don't get it now. Just some dude talking about his dick over discordant jazz. Nah thanks

Used to listen to Peter Gabriel a lot with my Dad. Not this album though. Preferred the earlier stuff

Never really got on with this. Always reminded me of the stuff my mates would make on their Amiga music programs.

Y'know despite probably having heard like 80% of everything The Beatles ever released, I'm not sure how often I've sat down and listened to one of their actual ALBUMS - it's always been the countless collections they've released over the years, or a carefully-curated playlist of b-sides and rarities that one of my record shop colleagues put together to impress people. So I think this is the first time I've ever actually listened to Revolver despite being familiar with nearly all the songs. For starters I didn't even know Yellow Submarine was on this album, which is still absolutely appalling and will forever stand as testament to why you should never take so many drugs that you let the drummer do a song. Rest of it's grand though

Lads this is just a bit TOO Country

Out of that amazing wave of 90s female artists - Tori, PJ, Björk etc - Apple is the one I just didn't really get.

This album SLAPS

First album I ever owned back when it came out Still great

Never been able to get on with Hannon's weird smarmy smug delivery. Though he will always have my respect for My Lovely Horse

Are ye fuckin serious

Love this album but last time I listened to it I was sat by the water in Menorca drinking a cold beer. Doesn't really hit the same listening to it at home

An artist that's always passed me by but I actually really dug this. Will listen again

Took me a while to get into when it first came out, but it's a great record

Weird 60s experimental hippie stuff. Don't have much to say about it to be honest. S'alright.

Absolute classic

This man is a talentless scrotum and a live album is not an album.

Listened to Fela Kuti before but this album was new to me. Brilliant stuff

Hadn't heard of this artist before but enjoyed this. Could have lived without the spoken word interludes but that's just a personal bugbear I have with them in general

90s metal is absolutely my jam - I even used to be in a band that covered a song from this album - but I never liked Incubus. Too much hippy shit

Absolute straight classic. Bought this on import when it came out and saw their first ever UK show in a college bar in London. Still slaps

It's a shame most people only know them for 'More Than A Feeling' because this whole album is amazing

Love The Kinks, though I prefer the first few albums to this one. Bit more riffy

Remember all the buzz about this when it came out. Honestly didn't get it then, still don't get it now

Somehow despite having heard a million records Steve Albini produced, I never listened to Big Black. This is fucking GREAT

Always been a band I respect more than I like. Loads of friends are mad into them, don't mind them being on, but I wouldn't put it on myself

Whenever people say "The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?" the correct answer is always "T Rex'

My previous knowledge of James Taylor is that Taylor Swift likes him

Lads I can't. I just can't. I worked in a record shop when this came out and I heard this album so many times, sometimes I wake up screaming and I swear Rumour Has It is quietly playing somewhere in my house

Wikipedia says this album was a 'critical and commercial failure' upon release. I'm on the '78 critics side

Blur: Are Shite

First time hearing this. I like the Post more than the Punk but I'll be checking out more records from their discography

Paul Rodgers is one of the finest singers in Rock history

Spent most of the 80s listening to this thanks to my Ma blasting her tape of it around the house. Still find it a bit hit and miss but the hits slap

S'grand but I prefer my riots to sound a lot noisier

Alex Turner's Ma was my Spanish teacher. Yes this is a review

Not actually my favourite Sabbath album but it's still an absolute banger. That opening one-two of War Pigs / Paranoid is pretty hard to beat

A frustrating listen as the discordant parts just straight up suck. And that's not me disliking discordance, I listen to Industrial Drone for fun... these guys just aren't good at it. The actual songs are decent though

The main thing I remember about Roxy Music is being rather enamoured with the vinyl artwork in my parent's collection as a young lad

Love this album but still not sure why it sounds like a kettle is going off for the whole record

Lads this is TOO country

Like beige in musical form

Absolute goddamn fucking masterpiece

Pulp for Southeners

As an old goth I am contractually obliged to give this 5 stars

XTRMNTR was their only good album

Not my favourite Zep but still a pure banger

WHO STRUCK MY MOTOR CAAAARRRR
