Awful - shocked that this person got a record deal, let alone an album on the 1001 list.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

An interesting listen and I can see why it was groundbreaking.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Some easy listeners - easy going but not enough ‘groundbreakers’ for me.

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Surprisingly upbeat and catchy, despite the fact that Cohen can’t carry a tune in a bucket.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

3/5

Ok to listen to but didn’t know any tracks on this so I felt a bit lost.

Eagles

3/5

Some easy listeners but again, not enough well-known, popular tracks for me. Not sure it’s a ground-breaking, must listen to album.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

3/5

First track was great. Easy to listen to but again, not many I’d race to listen to again.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

3/5

I didn’t mind this voodoo album, but it’s one that you have to pick your moment for. Fine to listen to in the bath, perhaps less so in the car.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

The album is fine but very samey songs and not enough familiar songs for me.

Never been a fan and this hasn’t converted me. I don’t get her popularity.

Classic cash - very entertaining album.

Joan Armatrading

4/5

I’d never heard of this artist but it’s an easy-listening album with a good vibe.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

A great album, although more than one sounds like Tiny Dancer!

Some interesting lyrics on this!!

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Loved this and I’ve never listened to it before - it’s very unusual for me to take to a completely new album like this. Bangers - all of them! Very catchy.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

2/5

Not for me - a bit repetitive

Orbital 2

Orbital

3/5

It wasn’t terrible- a bit repetitive and some awful tracks but the actual music ones were alright to listen to in the background. I feel you need to be high to fully appreciate it.

Not terrible but also not memorable. Couple of great tracks!

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

1/5

Dreadful - I can only assume the band’s family and friends felt sorry for them and bought multiple copies to get it on this list. That or they paid the judging panel.

Some great songs and catchy tunes on this album!
