1001 Albums Summary

Quality classic rock album

I'm sure the "great American songbook" is culturally significant for mid-century jazz aficionados, and I can't deny Ella Fitzgerald has a beautiful voice, however the overuse of this type of music in film had me thinking I was stuck in a Christmas rom-com movie while listening on my way to work. A 5 CD compilation is excessive except for the most dedicated fans, I listened to the first one & while there are some great tracks, that was enough for me. Probably good for background music while wrapping Christmas presents or bumping into your high school sweetheart while visiting your small home town over the holidays & getting stranded there by a snowstorm

Very interesting & soulful rock & roll/soul album, I'd never heard of Solomon before but I enjoyed this record, i generally find this sort of music boring after a couple of tracks but this one held my attention all the way through

Enjoyably silly early heavy metal album, bluesy psychedelic & sludgy - only 6 tracks, too short in my opinion. While the recording & sound quality is poor, this just adds to the experimental feel of the record. Heavy guitars & drums certainly added to the emerging new sound of late 60s heavy metal at the time. This album is definitely added to my playlist

Mediocre country rock Americana. Really struggling to understand why these were so popular. Very forgettable.

Meh

Couldn't get into this at all, dunno what to think, bizarre but not in a good way

Bonkers

This is what they'd play at the euthanasia clinic if they used music to terminate you

Fantastic album capturing the feel & sound of working class mid 90s Britain, Common People & Disco 2000 are real classics although tbh the record doesn't really have any terrible tracks on it. Highly recommended
