1001 Albums Summary

not my bag

Liked it at first, upbeat, was in the mood for it. But got annoying after a while.

Back to my youth! Great ti listen to this again.

Wow, forgot (or didn't take enough notice back in the day) about how violent and misogynistic this is. Good beats, but the words spewing out, eugh.

Was one of my Dad's favourites. I love Imagine the track, but rest of the album is so-so for me.

Never listened to the whole album, just the more known tracks, so this was a good listen.

I like some of the more popular ones, but the rest not for me

lovely

meh, not interesting

Good

Like it

ok, but wouldn't seek it out

of its time, enjoyed some of it, some a bit meh

Liked the hits/singles, but found much of the other stuff plodding

deranged and shouty

Recognised the popular songs, didn't know it was this band. But they're not my thing, got bored and a bit irritated by the end.

Was never really into them, but the singles are really good. Not that fussed about the rest of the album.

Like a bit of T.Rex, never listened to a whole album. Quite liked it.

Not for me, found it a bit boring.

Always liked the hits, again never listened to an album of theirs. Some of it was good, others not so much.

Sublime, beautiful. I never realised how beautiful and delicate the title track is, until listening on headphones (instead of people signing along with a rousing chorus). And the the whole album is amazing.

Very good, but not something I'd go out of my way to listen to.

Spoiling me with another amazing Simon & Garfunkel album. I never knew I was such a fan, it's like my 'new' favourite band.

Niiice.

Great single, but not so bothered about the rest of the album

like it, if I'm in the mood as it's not my usual cup of tea

Nope

Ah yes, double albums used to be a thing. 1hr 41mins is too long! I really liked some of the tracks on this, a good edit would make this a great album.

hard no. bailed halfway through.

Liked some of it, mostly wallpaper for me

Liked some of it, really the ones I know from the 80s/90s. Not really my thing, but it's ok.

can't not like a bit of Fleetwood Mac, never listened to a whole album, I didn't know some of the tunes I recognise were by them.

First time listening to Taylor Swift so interesting to hear what all the hype's about. Some were ok, others a bit meh.

Long album! Really loved some, others not so much. A very mixed bag, but overall I liked it.

a bit meh for me

A classic, every track is great. Awesome!

Never really listened to Black Sabbath, just know the more famous tracks. Yeah, liked it.

Excellent for the genre, but for me it's a time and place type of music - live gig in a pub with a pint. Too frenetic to listen to all at once at home! So scoring based on own listening preferences.

Totally new genre for me, and I liked it.

Nope, not for me

Good fun, wouldn't listen to a whole album by choice.

No, not for me. Didn't know his name, but I do know 'Without You' - great tune, the only good one on the album though.

Classic. Never gone out of my way to listen to them, or a whole album, but I like this one. Some classic tracks on here.

well that was quite boring

a bit dreary for me

I like Neil Young, but this album didn't do it for me.

Some classic 80s hits, not the whole album though

not my favourite

A bit boring, not my 80s jam.

Not my thing

dreary

Good, but not me thing.

Classic 80s!

Quite chill, but then a bit boring

They were never a favourite back in the day. I appreciate how they bring the noise, but still not a fave.

Yep, some solid tunes in there. But not really an album I'd purposely listen to.

Well, it's Stevie. He's quite awesome.

a bit dreary

Truly awful

Ah yes, On A Rope. I'd definitely have been dancing about to this at a summer festival in the 90s. Whole album doesn't really stand the test of time though.

Never bothered with then before, just know the singles. But this is properly 60s groovy in a good way.

It's a classic, and I really like some tracks, surprised by others. But not something I'd reach for. 3.5, so I'll go for 4 stars.

Never heard of them, and liked it at first. Nice loungy, breezy, smooth tunes. But then got a bit boring. Ok for background chill music.

Honky Tonk, not something I'm naturally drawn to, but it quite fun

90s classic. Gorgeous, love it!

Yes!

A 3rd S&G album! I like it, not as solid as the other 2.

terrible

Quite boring

Could only listen to tracks 3 & 4 on spotify, but was ok just didn't blow me away or anything.

Sorry, but I don't want to spend 3hrs 15mins listening to show tunes, even if they are sung by Ella. Moving on with my life.

I started out liking it, but then wasn't so bothered as it went on.

I like Iggy.

Pet Shop Boys are awesome. Not my favourite album though.

not my thing

A bit meh for me

Like it!

Some tracks I'm not so bothered about, but the others make up for it.

Great

Not my thing at all

Not my thing either

ok, but not that fussed

Iggy and The Stooges are definitely up my street, but not really feeling this album

awful

No, not for me.

ok, not my favourite Bowie stuff though

Not my usual thing, but quite liked it

Heard of them but never really listened to their stuff. Made me feel calm and kind of joyful. Made me want to (learn and) dance salsa in a tropical bar by the ocean under twinkly lights!

No. Didn't make it though the 1st (18 min+) track. Life's too short.

Great, of course!

Takes me back to clubbing days :D Still sounds great.

2.5 hours of The Who, with repeated tracks (original, remix, live...). You really need to be a fan to get through it. I'm not, so didn't make it through the entire double album.

Short and punchy. I like them but not a massive fan. Good in short bursts!

If I was into this genre it would be a 5 star, but I'm not. Though this is a great album!

I remember some of these tracks from the 90s! Still like them, but wouldn't stick it on these days.

Quite pleasant to start but then his voice got annoying

Some classics in there. Liked it but not enough that I'd search it out again.

Yeah, it's good

Never heard of this, but I like it!

Not a really a Pink Floyd fan, I mean it's ok

Not my genre but liked it despite myself!

ah, memories...!

Don't mind it, but not my thing really.

Everybody Hurts - a devastatingly beautiful song. A great album.

I liked a few tracks, but mostly was annoying

I really like it, but it just doesn't totally grab me.

I thought I liked Blur more than I actually do, I found this album quite dull.

Nice groovy and smooth 70s tunes for a Tuesday morning.

we should still be this angry. great album, definitely a classic.

I thought I liked The xx more than I do this album. Maybe I just liked the singles.

Yes! Perfect for a Monday morning.

not my thing

pretty excellent

Really liked some of it, but some tracks were just ok for me

Unexpected. Not heard of them, and really quite like it!

Very different from what I was expecting, but I guess I only know Californian Girls. This is more like protest songs so that was interesting. But the music style wasn't for me.

I like Massive Attack

Great!

not my thang

Gorgeous, a classic

I was never a U2 fan, but I did really enjoy listening to the singles from this album again. The rest was ok.

it was quite nice but quite forgettable too

Can't beat a bit of Dusty, classic, gorgeous

not my thing

awful

yeahhh, not my thing

Great!

No

Way too long at 2hrs 17m. Recognised and liked some of the tracks, didn't know the name of the band before. Disc One was quite nice, but not so bothered about the start of disc 2 and decided to call it quits there.

Love some of these songs, but now realise that it's only the 1st half of the album. Not so fussed about the 2nd half. But the 4 stars anyway because the good tracks are awesome :D

not my thing

I guess I really like the Dusty hits, not so much the other stuff

Loved all the hits, but the others were so-so for me

so 80s :D

audio torture

quite terrible, can't get through this one either

very good!

Listened to it a few days ago and can't remember so I guess it didn't make much of an impression.

Kinda meh

a good album, it's the Stones.

A bit of Stevie Wonder is always good.

Not my thing

I like quite a bit of the Cure but this was a bit dull

awesome and funny!

Liked it, different from the later stuff, but I like the later stuff more

Wish I'd seen this on Xmas Day, listening to it on 3 Jan!

Well, it was one of my fave albums back in the day, so...

Not my thing

not a fan, but the singles are fine.

Needed a blast of this today!

Never really listened to them, but I like. It was great for focus work, nice beats and instrumentals in there.

Got to admit, didn't get past the 1st song. Really not my thing and not in the mood.

I like Radiohead, mostly 90s stuff. I didn't really know this album. Nothing stood out too much, a bit samey.

Well it's all the classics live, so can't not be great! A blast of feel-good.

It was ok

I liked it quite a bit, but didn't love it. Liked her voice.

Classic Sabbath!

Bit of a fan back in the day! Maybe not stood the test of time all that well, but there's a handful of great tunes on there.

Not my jam

blast from the past, the saxophone...so 80s. But not something I'd stick on now.

Was ok

Another Girl, Another Planet - knew the song but never heard of the band :D But not so fussed about the rest of the album

More rocky than I remember, but wouldn't listen to the album again.

yeah, I remember them back in the day. Kinda nostalgic, but not something I'd put on now.

Not a huge Elvis fan, but appreciate him

Love PJ Harvey, and this album

Never was a Stones fan. It was ok.

nope!

All I Want For Christmas is enough Mariah for me

Like the vibe, but got quite boring

well, it's great isn't it

not listened to a whole Adele album, but I think I probably would like the earlier ones. This one had too many high note screechy singing.

Yeah, quite liked it

Way too long to listen to all of it. I like some songs, and think they're good, but not really my thing.

was ok, bit forgettable.

A legend, but this album didn't really do it for me

Don't mind a bit of The Kinks, but don't realy want to listen to a whole album again.

not my thing

also not my thing

Well, it's a classic

ok

Never heard of this and I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. Pretty interesting album.

A classic. I like some of the Beach Boys, just heard the hits really.

Maybe because it came straight of the back of a Beach Boys album, but just didn't get on with this.

A classic.

Listened to some. She's very good at what she does but I can't listen to it for long! Not for me, maybe the occasional tune.

a couple of well-known tunes, but too honky tonky, rock n' rolly for me

Absolutely a classic

ok

I have a soft spot for the Cure, was never a fan but takes me back! And I do like some of their songs.

thought it might be fun, but it's terrible

Nice and gentle

Couple of belters from back in the day

interesting, Johnny Cash does covers!

very pleasant

Not my thing, only listened to a few tracks

couple of good tunes I remember from back in the day, but not my thing

nope, not for me

awesome, of course

Love a bit of Adele

not my thing

hmm, again not for me. but a good example of the genre from back in the day

found it a bit dull

I like other albums more

found it a bit boring

was ok, upbeat vibes. not something i'd seek out

yeah, quite like it

apart from PInball Wizard, nope

amazing album, never listened to it all before. I only knew the singles.

it was ok, quite pleasant

ok

well, it's aretha

the best album ever recorded!

bloated album. some great tunes on there but it needed an editor!

not my cup of tea

not for me

not my thing

ok, not such a big fan

French rap is not for me

pretty good

never really listened to a whole album, and didn't this time. thought I'd 'discover' LZ but no, I got bored...

the queen, though not something I usually listen to

They were awesome

some cracking tunes

terrible

was never a fan, but it was ok

I've never really listened to a whole Bowie album, really enjoyed this

hmm, closet Oasis fan all these years....

ok

bit of nostalgia, still good tunes

Thought I'd like this more. I like the singles, but listening to the whole album, it's too angry for me - maybe not in the right mood for this!

can't put Jacques down!

nope

good old style tunes, but not something I'd stick on

great single, just didn't feel much for the rest of the album

I like a bit of country, but this was too much country for me

awesome

I like Neil Young, but didn't like this album so much

yep, played this a lot back in the day

finding this pretty boring

Class

not my bag

very good for the genre, but not something I'd listen to

bit boring

I was a Duran-y back in the day :D

bit boring
