1001 Albums Summary

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

Not my cuppa tea. The voice, the guitars, the lack of variety in the sound. They should've stayed making music in their bedrooms.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

I've given this album a 2 star rating for the two songs I think make this album and likely their entire career.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco

Liked it. Inoffensive and kinda soothing.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley

Can appreciate the breath of fresh air he likely offered at the time, but his style of music is not for me.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin

Clearly an exceptional voice, a talented band, and timeless classics. Prefer to listen to the songs individually amongst other singers rather than the full album in one go. Found the pitch of her voice too intense in some parts.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones

Didn't enjoy listening to this at all. I can hear subtle hints of the good stuff that came in later years, but not enough for me to want to hear this album again - ever.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk

Musically listenable, vocally dissonant. Gave it an extra point for the one good song I know.

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus by Spirit

As psychedelic albums go, this one wasn't as bad as the album sleeve suggested.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy

One of many soundtracks to my twenties - its bass-heavy beats make it necessary to play this album loud! Lost a point because the last couple of tracks seem pointless.

Eliminator by ZZ Top

Not terrible. The tracks I liked were purely nostalgia aside from Thug. That was a new and enjoyable one for my ears.

Let It Be by The Replacements

One star so I can press the vote button.

Welcome to the Afterfuture by Mike Ladd

Enjoyed his experiments with sound. A surprisingly good listen.

Being There by Wilco

Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack

Top marks. Timeless.

Fragile by Yes

The World is a Ghetto by War

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren

Summery, easy going, have it on my playlist.

Young Americans by David Bowie

Given this a two for the two songs I know and like.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton

Great storytelling with a pinch of humour.

Metallica by Metallica

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

The Slider by T. Rex

Lacks variety in sound, leaving my ears unmotivated to hear most tracks in their entirety. Not for me.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

Not my favourite Smiths album. Nice familiar sound but dull.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder

Good vibes, but not enough for a second listen.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners

A voice that sounds like he's constantly mid-yawn, and a track list that only produced a couple of booze fuelled sing alongs from the eighties, I’m afraid it's a thumbs down from me.

Truth by Jeff Beck

Liked the gritty, sticky carpet sound, but not for ne.

Station To Station by David Bowie

Meh

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Nowhere by Ride

Meh meh

Rocks by Aerosmith

Guero by Beck

Good, joyful, light, Beck album. Last few sings tailed off a bit.

There's No Place Like America Today by Curtis Mayfield

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

Not my cuppa tea. Ella has a lovely voice though.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye

Van Halen by Van Halen

Disraeli Gears by Cream

Marquee Moon by Television

Play by Moby

Was on heavy rotation for me in the late nineties and holds many happy memories of travelling.

Medúlla by Björk

Meh meh meh. Solar systems away from her good stuff.

Very by Pet Shop Boys

Not their best - far from it! A bit too happy poppy this one.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC

Not my cuppa.

Stardust by Willie Nelson

Dull. Couldn't wait for it to be over.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey

Probably my favourite Morrissey album. Clear and resounding lyrics.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf

Triangle by The Beau Brummels

Nice hippy vibes.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk

A breath of fresh air for it's time. I enjoyed the simplicity and sound.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
