1001 Albums Summary

90s Big Beat fun

Not my cup of tea at all. Mostly ballads and slow numbers that were pretty boring and forgettable

Interesting idea as a concept album but quite a dreary and depressing listen. Won't be listening again

Cover album, definitely not country. Inoffensive and forgettable

1 massive hit and lots of filler

Decent

2 track album. Track 1 was OK, track 2 was great

Not for me

Won't be listening again

Classic

Easy 5 starts from me

Enjoyed this

I knew Bucky Done Gun and the album is really just more of the same. Became irritating after a while

Hit & miss

Not for me

60s psychedelic, similar to the doors. Bit hit & miss

Only listened to disc 1

Classic

Depressing

An album I've been meaning to listen to for years and it didn't disappoint

Decent enough. Knew a couple already

Solid

Great album that somehow passed me by. I only knew 1 of the tracks from before. Will be listening again

60s psychedelic

Great stuff

Surprised how much I enjoyed this. I only already knew the one "hit"

Not bad but the singer's voice is a bit irritating

Couldn't finish it

Enjoyed, but the version on Spotify was a bit different

New one for me. Funky triphop stuff

Started strong but a bit hit & miss overall

Too long and too much garage

Solid but all very similar sounding

Standard psychedelic 60s stuff

Didn't do much for me.

Against expectations I enjoyed this a lot

Won't be listening again

Enjoyed this, will listen again

Easy 5 stars. Passin Me By and 4 Better Or 4 Worse are 2 of my all-time favourites

Classic

Listened to this a 2nd time and still undecided. Some good songs and some strange stuff. Overall too long

Not my cuppa tea, at all

had it on in the background while working but will listen again

Classic

90s grunge/indie stuff. Couldn't get into it at all

Didn’t enjoy this, cringey lyrics

Class, easy 5 stars

Indian musak, like background music for an indian restaurant

Enjoyed this. Had never listened to ZZ Top before, apart from the hits that get played on the radio. Solid album

Decent 90s indie stuff

I know it's critically acclaimed, one of the best albums of all time etc.. but it did nothing for me

An album mostly of covers. The title track is great, some of the covers fall flat, but overall an enjoyable listen

The only Bowie album I own and have listened to before. Solid

Millennial synth pop. Couldn't get into it

HipHop classic. Sounds a bit dated now but still 5 stars for me

Lovely stuff. Another one I have been meaning to listen to for years

I'm not a big fan of country music and this album did nothing to change that

Definitely of its time in the production and lyrics, but still a great album overall. 5 stars for me

Indie triphop with lots of wailing

Nothing particularly offensive or memorable. It's possibly getting the 3rd star because I only had to listen to 31 mins

Psychedelic jazzy stuff. From the album title you can guess that it might not be the most upbeat affair. 3 stars just for Gypsy Woman

I could never get into Folk music and this was pretty much how I expected it would be. I'm sure it's great for fans of the genre, but I found her voice a bit grating after a while

I really wasn't looking forward to listening to a mostly acapella Björk album. The beatboxing elements on Where Is The Line & Triumph Of A Heart worked really well, so 3 stars just for those

A bunch of wallies

daytime radio friendly soft rock. Inoffensive but also nothing special

I am generally not a fan of Jazz but I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would, more upbeat than expected

Solid album, folk, rock and a couple of funky numbers. Pleasant enough to listen to but I probably won't revisit it

A new one for me and wasn't sure what to expect. The first track had a triphop vibe and I enjoyed the first half of the album. The latter half wasn't as strong but overall a decent listen from someone I wasn't aware of

Quite different form their earlier stuff with more of a rock feel. One that would benefit from another listen

80s pop, sounds a bit like Prince. Knew quite a few songs already. Won't be listening again

Great stuff. Not sure if what I listened to on Spotify was actually the right album as it was only 17 mins long

I really dislike Bon Jovi's brand of pop rock ballads, but Wanted Dead or Alive is class

A lot of people hate Morrissey, but I don't mind him. This was good, but not great

3 just for River Man

OK hard rock album. Reviews say it's a "landmark" but I didn't see it. maybe would benefit from another listen

A new one for me and a lot more grungey than expected

Country folk pop that didn't do much for me. On paper the concept of the album sounds interesting but listening was a different matter

inoffensive folky stuff, won't be revisting

I like Jamie XX "In Colour" but never listened to the XX before. This was oK but nothing really stood out for me

Easy 5

Raw punk stuff. Enjoyable

Love this album. Bought it the week it was released and enjoyed listening to it again for the first time in ages. Peak Big Beat party tunes

Folk isn’t my cup of tea at all, but this was a fairly enjoyable listen

Funky stuff, lots of classic tracks and recognized a good few samples too

Sweet Jane is class

Dub/triphop, music was ok to listen to but some of the lyrics ruined it for me

Sounds quite dated now but Humpty Dance is a banger

so-so. I don't know much of Divine Comedy's work, but the have some better songs than the stuff on this album

Never got into nu-metal and this won't change it

Enjoyed this a lot. Typical Jamiroquai 70s sound but great stuff

Easy 5

Class

Enjoyed this, will definitely be listening again

Another one I have been meaning to listen to for years. Great stuff

Easy 5

Linkin Park meets 70s prog rock

Lovely stuff

Enjoyed this a lot

Shouty grungey stuff. Thought 1 or 2 sounded familiar and then read that a couple of songs were featured in Jackass

Nothing new but still an enjoyable listen

A soundtrack for a non-existent film. Started off weird and wonderful but couldn't sustain my interest for the whole album.

Sounds dated now but still classic

A new one for me that I quite enjoyed. Will listen again

Another new one for me. 70s rock stuff. Pleasant enough to listen to but wouldn't be rushing back

Lovely stuff
