1001 Albums Summary

Too similar to The Beatles to be overly exciting. The times he goes in different directions are great though!

Great music, not a huge fan of the vocals

Excellent! Really surprised I liked this one as much as I did. Which figures, since I was 16 when it was released. Lots of familiar tracks. Very good.

Not a big fan of the big bands. The first song is very good though!

Not a big fan. Seems formulaic, almost Nirvana with a female lead and worse lyrics. It greatly picks up in the middle (Vow and Stupid Girl), but then dives off again.

Not for me, but would make for some good background music!

Excellent!! Great music, although a couple of songs lose a bit of pace.

Great! Love concept albums

Decent! Not really my thing, but it's good stuff

Great chill out album!

Good stuff! I liked this album way more than I thought I would

It's easy to discount Duran Duran as another 80s band, but the fearlessness they showed was something else. Excellent 👍

So so different. Excellent rhythms. I don't even know how I can classify this album.

Absolutely excellent. I will never not give Kate Bush anything less than 5 stars. While The Sensual World isn't Kate Bush's best or, dare I say, flawless (see The Dreaming or Hounds of Love), it does have my favourite KB song; Never for Ever.

Great! It's Rush, nothing more needs to be said.

Classic U2.

I never knew I liked early 90s hip hop till today. Great!

Not a huge fan of The Boss. 2 stars only because Born In The USA is very catchy.

Great music, interesting. Let down by the lyrics in my opinion. I typically find interest in lyrics about experiences I haven't had, but I thought the ones here weren't interesting at all.

Obviously talented musicians, but feels like music with no inspiration. Absolutely not my thing

I don't know whether I love this album or hate it. Therefore, 5 stars.

R.E.M.'s near perfect debut album still stands the test of time to this day. Masterpiece. I wouldn't be where I am without this band, and I for sure wouldn't be as big of a music fan.

Great stuff!

Not really my thing.

I mean it's a nice listen and everything, but nothing special.

Takes me back to being 13. Could do with being 20 minutes shorter and a few tracks less. But good.

By far the weirdest album so far! Avant garde at it's strangest. If it were 20 minutes I would have given 4 stars, but it just went on a little too long.

I thought this album was absolutely fantastic. I've been awake of ELO for tears but have always been ignorant of their output. Wow. Was I wrong. I actually thought Mr. Blue Sky was a Wings song. Either way, excellent.

Never has a band from Bradford sounded more like they're from California. While it's fun, I'm not sure it has a place on this list.

Excellent! The Smiths never made a bad song.

Good music, not a fan of the lyrics

Absolutely excellent! Like progressive hip hop

7/10

While enjoyable, this album was 20 minutes too long and too repetitive. 6/10

Great music, spoiled as always by Anthony Kiedis lyrics and vocals. It also goes on for 20 minutes too long. 5/10

Absolutely terrible. The Dude was correct.

Interesting supergroup of relatively unknown musicians. Sounded good! 6/10

Double albums that aren't 'conceptc albums always fall foul of being just too damn long. While Mellon Collie is incredibly enjoyable, it isn't enjoyable for 2 hours. 6.5/10

Some good stuff, however there's an overall feeling of 'meh' that runs throughout.

Excellent!

Just not that good

Not bad at all! 5/10

Nearly flawless masterpiece. 9/10

Weird stuff. 5/10

Melancholy, a bit tedious in parts. Overall not bad! 5/10

This was not good. At all. 2/10

This was intense, interesting. 5/10

Fuuuuuuuck
