How on Earth did this make it to the top 1001? Totally forgettable.

Ok enough as background music but hard to listen to straight up

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

It is good jazz, OG. But it is what it is.

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

3/5

I can see there is talent but it just drones to my ears

I’m not entirely buying it.

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

3/5

I guess this is ok for people who like this.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

3/5

I know it is controversial, but I think Joni is just OK. If you heard her at an open mic, you’d think “Yeah, she’s good.” I’m almost prepared to go 4*, but not quite.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

3/5

This may be iconic, but does that make it good?

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

Reminds me of my youth!

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

4/5

Not a huge Young fan but a solid album.

3/5

I mean OK. But just OK. Fine for the time, no longer really needed.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

Solid album.

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

3/5

Meh.

808 State

Borderline 1-star. Could make for nice background music in a movie scene, I guess.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

Iconic!

Raw Power

The Stooges

4/5

I can tell it is good, so it is a 4.

5/5

A classic!

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

4/5

It is what it is. Long live the Surfers.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

3/5

Apparently iconic, but made me feel like I was having a stroke.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

GOAT. 4* only because, let's face it, it's all a bit samey-samey on the album.

Boston

4/5

Great riffs. Not the sort of album I’ll go back to, but happy to hear in a bar.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Preacher Man is legendary- but the rest? Meh.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

1/5

Bittersweet Symphony is my least favorite song of all time. This whole album reeks of adjacency to it.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

It’s fine. I know people love it, but it’s beer tent background music to me.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

4/5

I quite liked this, and will return!

I Against I

Bad Brains

3/5

Noisy. Meh.

The Lexicon Of Love

It’s like if the Pet Shop Boys all had lobotomies and then sat down to recreate what a white Prince would perform at a retirement home

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

Great album but, cmon guys, cheer up.

Ryan Adams

3/5

Nobody, I mean NOBODY, loves Ryan Adams more than Ryan Adams.

Aja

Steely Dan

2/5

I feel like I’m waiting on hold to play the game where I tell my internet provider that I want to cancel so that they lower the monthly cost back to what it used to be and act like they’re doing me a huge favor.

New Wave

The Auteurs

4/5

Rather nice.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

Yacht rock.
