After The Gold Rush
Neil YoungVery surprised by this album by how much I liked it. Never really got into Neil Young although I knew it was a classic. Particularly liked the live tracks featuring The Birds.

I listened to the end. What an experience! One I won't be repeating π€£ I suffered until the end , appreciate a lot of people like them but I am not one. I would rate it zero star based on my listening experience π«£ but that's not an option so gave it one.
Only listened to a bit. Not my thing sorry
It was OK.
This album was absolutely brilliant. The voice of Aretha Franklin is just beautiful. Lady Soul she certainly was and always will be. β€οΈ
Not a big fan of Donavan so do not appreciate his work sorry
Make a,note to save and listen
Enjoyed listening to this. Good mixture of familiar and unfamiliar songs. Brilliant harmonys as one expects from The beach boys. π
Very pleasant. Chilled out. Good listen
Very sceptical of this when it popped up but I listened and was very pleasantly surprised. I always thought of Nora Jones as tedious and boring but I found the album to be extremely relaxing and chilled out. She has a beautiful voice. Glad I listened and well worthy of max star rating. π
Was certaìn I wouldn't enjoy this album although I knew it's highly acclaimed as one of the best albums 2nd only to Thriller I believe. Having listened i was surprised by how much I didn't mind it. Good guitar playing throughout, lyrics I could actually hear although still not keen on the screechiness of Brian Johnson's vocals. Yeah, not a bad listened hence the reason I gave it 4 stars.
Very upbeat and energetic. Good listen worthy of 3 stars
Well what can i say about this. Absolutely awesome. I β€οΈ The Beatles and what an iconic album this is. So loved the inclusion of the acoustic takes at the end of the album and the banter between them. So cool and a bit emotional too hearing John's voice talking so candidly. Brilliant
Quite enjoyed this one. Don't mind a little jazz and this was a good example of that genre. Liked the Spanish influence in the form of the Spanish guitar that was threaded through. Worthy of 3 stars.
Really enjoyed this. Good mix of blues with a wee bit of country and western. A bit Dylanesque, Glenn Camble, he did a cover on one of the tracks featured on this album. Even reminded me a little of Johnny Cash. Deep vocals. Certainly give it 4 stars. Great listen.
One of my favourite albums of all time. An absolute classic. Bought it when it came out. Brilliant β€οΈ
Remember this album coming out in the days when progressive rock bands didn't release singles from albums. Not a massive fan of this music genre but again some of it I don't mind too much. Listened to this album and thought it was OK apart from the opening track which I wasn't keen on. Give it 3 stars
Love a bit of Dusty Springfield. 60's icon. Beautiful voice.
It's OK. Not keen on live albums generally and thought this one a bit samey. Not a bad listen and I probably wasn't in the mood when I listened to it. Sam Cooke is a respected artist so worthy of 4 stars regardless
Not keen on electronic music in general, some is better than others, I didn't listen to the all of this album due to time or lack of it
Thought this was good. Like post punk but hadn't heard of this band. A bit like The Stranglers and Joy Division in parts which isn't really surprising. Pretty good overall.
Enjoyed this. Reminded me a little of Massive Attack. Good Listen overall
Absolutely fabulous. The beautiful voice of Ella Fitzgerald and the timeless music of Gerswin. What a combo. Brilliant
Like Jimi Hendrix. Legendary status. Enjoyed this π
Brilliant β€οΈ
Brilliant. Nothing more to be said.
Surprisingly I quite enjoyed this. Country folk isn't my favourite musical genre by a mile but found it quite mellow and each song told a story. Overall not a bad listen
A good album from a legendary band. The earlier stuff was very bluesy. I believe a lot of their music is influenced by black American blues. Classic. Enjoyed it.
Tedious and dreary. Sorry π
Really liked this.
Brilliant. Loved it
Absolutely lovely. So relaxing. The best jazz saxophonist ever. Fabulous π
Not my cup of tea. Found it quite tedious
Brilliant. Love the beach boys, love Brian Wilson.
Not for me. Thought I might like it as i have heard some of her music before but no, sorry.
Really enjoyed this live album. Didn't like country music much but since signing up for the 1001 albums you must listen to etc...its opened me up to music I would not have listened to otherwise.
Didn't think i would like this very much as I am not generally a fan of heavy rock music and I put Iron Maiden in this category. I was pleasantly surprised listening to this album. Some good guitar sounds and vocals I could understand and weren't too 'screechy' π Overall not a bad listen
Absolutely fantastic. Still have the album press aswell as in digital form. Anything that Nile Rodgers produces can't be bad.
Absolutely fab loved it β€οΈ π
A good rapping album which is well produced. Personally it wasn't for me but I can look beyond that and rate it for the quality of sound and lyrical content. Although it's not my music it's worthy of 3 stars
More of a fan of new wave which followed on from post punk. Detected shades of The Stranglers in this album. Overall a bit too screechy on the vocals for my taste.
Very good. Have always liked this band. Good sound and distinctive vocals. ππ
Absolute brilliant album. Lennon laid bare, emotionally charged lyrics that resonate. Inspired by the woman who really got him. Brilliant stuff π
Really liked this. Genesis are a good band. Like both the early stuff with Peter Gabriel as leas vocalist and later when Phil Collins took over π
Absolutely fantastic. Michael Jackson can do no wrong. Simply brilliant π
Listened to this late in bed with the volume turned low. Perfect conditions to listening to this relaxing chilled out album.
Not really my thing. Not a genre I like and though well produced etc...I found it boring and repetitive. One or 2 tracks were OK but on the whole didn't enjoy it
Excellent. Best female artist of all time. Absolutely brilliant π
Absolutely brilliant. Remember getting this when it came out. One of the best artists of all time. Micheal was such a talent and was so mis-understood. A victim of manipulation and exploited by many.
Not really my thing. The music was OK but didn't like the female vocalist. Overall did not particularly wnjoy
Really enjoyed this. Never before considered myself a lover of country music but i found this interesting and very enjoyable. Glad i listened
Absolutely fantastic. Big fan of Marvin Gaye and Whats going on is THE best album he did. Music a delight to Listen to. First class production and meaningful hit home lyrics especially on 'Makes me wanna holla'. Superb stuff from the man who had the voice of an angel.
Big fan of Michael Kiwanuka. Big thumbs up
Terrible. Sorry Jack Elliott. Boring tedious and dull. I would give it nil pois if I could so, reluctantly it gets one π«£
Thought I would like this because I knew Iggy pop was an influence upon David Bowie and they had collaborated on things together but sadly I didn't like it.
Quite enjoyed this. Was a little Talking Head'esque. Good listen overall
Absolutely superb. What an album! Conceptually brilliant, music, brilliant. Love love love .
Absolutely brilliant. Such an iconic band. They are beyond legends. Love their early stuff, love their later stuff. Just love them. β€οΈ
Didn't think I would like this album when I began listening but as it progressed it got better. There were certain tracks that were a bit reminiscent of The Cure, a band I like but didn't have the distinctive vocals. This seemed to serve this opinion as my streaming service goes on to select similar genres when the album selector ends. In this case , Pictures of you was the first track selected when Bossanova finished. Not a bad judgement by me I thought π. This album is worthy of 3 stars , would have given it more it it didn't go randomly into screechy vocals which are more akin to heavy metal
Really enjoyed enjoyed this. Live at San Quentin came up last time and that was also great. Never thought I would enjoy this as its not the genre I listen to but surprised myself. Its fun and the songs tell a real story. π
Absolutely beautiful. Soft buttery jazz that one simply melts into. Really recommend this album. π
Really enjoyed this. Love the distinctive vocals of Lou Reed. A band so ahead of its time. Cannot believe this album was made nearly 60 years ago, still sounds so fresh. It's little wonder that they influenced so many music genres and so many bands were created on the influence they provided. Amazing.
Remembered the name from the 70's. Thought he was in the musical bracket of Steely Dan etc...the album content was very different to the name I associated with it. Overall I liked it. Songs go from ballads to almost manic noise. Incredible variation throughout the album that takes the listener on a musical journey. Quite enjoyable
Echoes of Jimi Hendrix aswell as the blues of The Rolling Stones I thought at times throughout the album but maybe that's just me. Not sure what thought overall. Not bad, not great.
Absolutely brilliant. Have always liked the innovative music of Gary Numan. This album certainly lives up to its title because it was indeed a pleasure to listen to.ππ
You can't give this album a bad review as Led Zeppelin are such a highly acclaimed rock band. For me personally I wasn't so keen but my views do not represent popular concensus in any way.
Whilst I like the crooning tones of Sinatra, this album I found quite tedious. Fine in a late night cocktail bar or chilled out club venue as the album title would suggest , but not to listen to at home through earphones with the TV on. It's obviously classic so worthy of 4 stars. It was my poor listening timing I feel.
Know this metal genre is popular with a lot but I ain't one of 'em π€£. Loathed this!
Didn't think i was going to like this at first. Have heard of this band but never really got into them. The album grew on me and I found the music to be well produced and the material original. Quite a rap influence threaded through. Wouldn't go as far to call myself a fan but it was OK
Whilst I appreciate the longevity of this album and its inclusion in the must listen to album list, I have to say I failed to appreciate it. It seemed very repetitive and all I picked up on was the constant beating of the conga drumming. It reminded me of jungle tribal music and whilst I am aware of the cultural meaning that surrounds this type of music, it really wasn't for me so I am voting purely on my listening experience.
Absolutely brilliant. What's not to like about The Beach Boys. Brilliant harmonies. They are the sound of summer. Makes me want to put on a pair of Vans and grab my surfboard. Great stuff. π
It was very much of it's time. Easy to listen to. Harmless and undemanding. Bit repetitive but classic in its own way. Worthy of 3 stars.
Brilliant album. So many familiar songs on this. Loved the New Romantic genre of the early 80's. Bands like Duran Duran, Ultravox, Japan , Howard Jones. Fab decade for music. Then later on giving way for fantastic bands as The Smiths and The Cure. Rio probably Duran's best in my opinion. Love it. π
This album is sensational. I love Jim Kerr's distinctive vocals and the music is brilliant. Such a great sound. One of my favourite bands. It's worth a listen for the instrumental too. Fabulous π
An interesting album. Going from noise to something melodic and quite humorous too, buy maybe that's just me. I listened until the end because I found the whole thing intriguing but overall its not my thing. Creatively put together though so for that alone it's not a bad listening experience. Having said that don't think I be listening again though.
Absolutely brilliant.
Do the Rolling Stones ever make a bad album? If so, this isn't one of them.
Not a bad listen. Classic American rock and blues. Good to listen to on a summer road trip I guess. Worthy of 3 stars
Really good album and worthy of the acclaim it got upon its release. Good sounds, good vocals. All round a very cleverly put together album. π
Very mellow silky jazz. Perfect listening at a piano bar or cocktail bar or cosy dinner for two. Recording very clear for 1957, must have been remastered. Good chilled out listen. π
Thought i was going to like this offering. Hadn't heard of this artist before and I like Indie music and the 90's decade. Upon listening I was very disappointed. Thought it dull and tedious.
Absolutely stunning album by one of the best solo female artists of her generation. Loved it. π
Overall didn't like this. Quite an original concept but of its time nevertheless. A couple of tracks were a little Hendrixesque, especially vocally. Overall not really my thing.
Fab album. As as Oasis fan, cannot fail not to like this band. This was, in my opinion their best album. π
