there's a dude in the comments complaining that 'where is my mind?' doesn't answer the question posed in the title. here are some other songs this guy would hate: can you feel the love tonight? don’t you want me? should i stay or should i go? how will i know? who let the dogs out? how deep is your love? wouldn’t it be nice? how soon is now?
mf rhymed 'dangerous' with 'contagerious'
maybe a bit of right-place-right-time, but loved this. what a brilliant surprise.
she vince on my bus til i eruptum
well that certainly was 76 minutes of music
this is entirely too smooth for the likes of me
mf rhymed 'dangerous' with 'contagerious'
when it's good it's very good. when it's not it's... extremely dull
significantly worse than i was expecting
now this is *exactly* what i was expecting
some seriously powerful stuff on here. wow.
staggering, phenomenal, essential, a Major Work. an unbelievable achievement then, now, always.
yeah, this is some really good stuff. 9 min spoken intro just adds to the vibes.
took a while, but when it clicks this is pretty good. enjoyed how low key and simmering this is
not much to say, it was alright
this was funky... but not *that* funky, y'know?
expectation: a bunch of big hits reality: a bunch of big hits and tons of absolutely bonkers stuff in between. amazing.
welcome to the 90s. perfect for a chill, sunny sunday afternoon spent drinking and playing d&d
this was great fun
first half slapped. second half was pretty dull tho
sad banger after sad banger
sorry suggs
there are fewer than one hundred 'ultra bangers' in existence, and there's one on this album.
id give it 3.5 if i could, but hey, you gotta round down
truly baffling. not even the continued horse metaphors can save it
smoooooothhhhhh operator
well that certainly was 76 minutes of music
what's the matter lagerboy, afraid you might taste something?
hear the /jazz/ go down
pure cheese
extremely 70s
some real bangers on here
such a brilliant classic. and they get better from here!
big call here after just one listen but i think this is fantastic. chilling, heavy, melancholy, aching and beautiful.
really enjoyed this. going straight into the rotation
eight perfect songs. a masterpiece
thoroughly enjoyable stuff. it's 1990s away from being a 4
THERE'S A GENTLEMAN THAT'S GOING ROUND // TURNING THE JOINT UPSIDE DOWN
this really surprised me - was heaps of fun
just good stuff innit
pretty enjoyable stuff. jazzie b is from hornsey btw
the acceptable facet of the 90s
i've never listened to this before but my next door neighbour in halls certainly did
mf rhymed 'd'accord' with 'gare du nord'
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP?!?!
man, prog rock rules so hard
what if we took evident, lightly worn genius... and slathered it with incredible levels of misogyny
don't know grunge at all but that was fun
first time listener!!! i loved the bit with the harmonica
TWO CHIMPS IN A WICKER BASKET YOU THINK THATS PRETTY CLEVER DONT YOU BOY
don't know what i was expecting but it was certainly better than what i got
good clean fun
this is stunning, innit
I'VE JUST HAD THIS ALBUM. IT IS FUCKING MINGING. PARACHUTES PUNCH LEMONADE. IT IS FUCKING MINGING. SUCK YOUR DAD
one good song, eleven times over. it is a banger tbf
funny story about that last track...
i listened to this album sooo much during my first summer in london. on reflection it's a bit baggy and has a couple too many songs about 'characters' but ... PARKLIFE!
this was fun but i thought it was gonna be more, y'know, outrageous?
i found this pretty charming. great album cover too
wow, absolutely incredible. kinda blown away by how brilliant this is. nothing like i expected!
god bless abba and their transparent egg copter
i was so ready to like this. guess i'm a rocker
this is awesome
sadly didn't do anything for me... which is mad cos im a big fan of 90s REM. +1 star for the two hits
justice for zaheer
hell YEAH
+1 for free bird
oh mannnnnn.
guess i'm an abba person!
Q - why does liam gallagher always order the soup? A - YOU GET A ROLL WITH IT
OMG. imagine seeing this live...
all time entry in the "oh! it's THIS song!" genre
you can't fool me, michael stipe
i listened to a ukrainian version of highway to hell after passing my driving test. great times
it's the 90s!
jose.gif
just miss once king
you get a lot of music for your money. and most of it excellent
i've tried to listen to this album exactly twice in my life now and each time, it's a big yawn
i'm always in the mood for gwent
the hissing of summer yawns
phenomenal. unique and haunting. what a classic.
way better than I thought it'd be. and then it has any right to be, really!
great tunes and great album art. winner!
uninteresting and unremarkable
sat with this for a long while, but no, it's not doing anything for me. might give skylarking a spin, tho...
a banger followed by a bunch of snoozers
my school once kicked off an assembly with back in black, before the resident "hard man" teacher came out and told us about some strict new rules for that year
remarkably chill and funky
this slapped. vive la mid 2000s
Janis rocks!!!
surprised by how much i loved this! what a jam
oh yeahhhhhhhh.
neil young fucking rules
i can't believe this works
god bless sir rod
yoooooou caaaaan't aaalways geet whaaat yooouu waaaahhhnnnnntttt.... buuut iff youuu triiiisometimes....
i second what the guy said about the hackey sack
JUDAS!!!!
a canonical album for me. listened to this so much c. 2011-2012. and it's still fantastic[ally depressing]
of course mystra knows it all, she's the god of magic
it's just a sheer classic, innit
LOVE dire straits. this isn't quite a 5 for me - making movies thru brothers in arms are the straight fives - but it comes pretty close. trop bien!
utterly french, in every aspect. and absolutely brilliant
this is a superb album. i love how strong the eno influence is. art rock in its purest form
This was fun. And cool to encounter Huey Morgan, who I only know from his Radio 6 show
found this a bit underwhelming. it's a two for the who
SUMMER OF 69!!!!!
this is an immense album. obviously roundabout is the biggie, but heart of the sunrise is such a phenomenal piece and the more experimental stuff in-between is short, sweet and interesting. saving my 5 for close to the edge, but it's all here.
afraid it's a no from me
entirely too frightening for the likes of me
too many slow songs... where r the bangers elvis
what a brilliant album!
yeah, this is the good stuff. packed full of absolute bangers
not what I was expecting at all. we will not be lovers & sweet thing both phenomenal tracks.
LOADS of fun
enjoyed; will never listen again
loved this weird, fun, cool, oddly prog-adjacent album. (seriously, there are bits that sound like van der graaf generator).
complex, unique, truly superb. continues to reward relistens, more than a decade than i first heard it.
first half of this slaps. sadly tails off a bit in the second half
really enjoyed this completely eclectic mix
awful lyrics, the most annoying singing voice you ever did hear, and every song goes on 1-2 minutes longer than it really should. a truly crap album.
completely silly but loads of fun
eternally underrated smiths album - but what wouldn't shrink in the shadow of meat is murder and queen is dead? more bangers than you remember!
enjoyed this far more than I thought I would. nice 1 m8!
even after 15 years or so, this still gets better with every listen
masterpiece
my least favourite of the phenomenal 'rubber soul -> abbey road' run, and still a straight up 5. what a band. ps yellow submarine rules
all the signs were this was gonna be awful... but no, it was awesome! fresh, biting, full of energy
top tier memory - dancing to "the promised land" with my dad at my wedding
being into this album comfortably the coolest thing i did as a teenager
the 90s, what a time. enjoyed this but not at all convinced it's an album you need to listen to before you die
strongly prefer making movies and love over gold, but hey, they're not on this list
5/5, difficult to imagine anything slapping harder
enjoyed it, but majors on the bits of melon collie i enjoyed least, and minors on the bits i liked most
this was very silly. perhaps even a bit too silly
paul 4 lyf
perhaps the ultimate in "Oh! It's that song!"
a knife by any other name would smell as sweet
maybe a bit of right-place-right-time, but loved this. what a brilliant surprise.
someone in the reviews says it should be illegal to rate this less than 4, and they're spot on
well, duh
pretty much the definition of a modern classic. played the hell out of this when it came out and it still sounds fresh. trop bien
a love supreme... a love supreme... a love supreme...
what else was it going to be?
even without the backstory, this would be stunning. wowza.
keep on chooglin
holds up soooo well
STOP PRESS!!! bjork in "actually good" shocker
love the funk edge
booooring... but nice
more like the crap lowes
after the GOAT rush
ZANE.... YOUR HACKBLOOD POWER IS GROWING... BUT YOU ARE NOT QUITE READY TO YIELD ITS FULL POWER.... YET
enjoyed the hard edge of the music, but man, those lyrics...
just straight bangers, innit
time takes a cigarette // puts it in your mouth...
consistently the worst fucker on this list. screw you elvis, see you later for your next 1-2/5
prog perfection. the title track is up there with the best of em.
played it during christmas dinner, it slapped.
kinda dull i'm afraid
the gap between the bangers and the snoozers is wide indeed
real good stuff
there's a dude in the comments complaining that 'where is my mind?' doesn't answer the question posed in the title. here are some other songs this guy would hate: can you feel the love tonight? don’t you want me? should i stay or should i go? how will i know? who let the dogs out? how deep is your love? wouldn’t it be nice? how soon is now?
worth a 5 for sledgehammer alone. WHAT a song.
enjoyable but unmemorable
one of those records where you can *hear* how influential it was, all these years later. blimey.
four elvis costellos jeremy? that's insane
the three great alabama icons is a *monumental* track. that, and the sheer scope and ambition, earn this a 4
supa dupa might be going a bit too far
truly dreadful stuff
as if the title track wasn't already the most y2k artefact imaginable, ali g appears in the video. a quarter century is a long time indeed.
tag a mate who's the mean old dogg catcha
we have aja at home
my running jam
it's no doctorin the tardis
really enjoyed this. they say talk talk were a big influence on hogarth-era marillion and boy can you see it
in fairness, the "get your tits out for the lads" bit is fucken hilarious
boy, this is smoooooooooooth
i don't like the cover art, i don't like the vibes, and crucially, i don't like the music
SUPER NINTENDO
genuine struggle listen
had my fist in my mouth at points, but ultimately, you have to salute the utter audacity
dull dull dull
there's a fine between chill and boring
some real bangers, but also a lot of filler, and it's way too long. that's enough for me indeed
a little self awareness goes a long way
this hit so well
hell yeah
low key banger
appetite for "skip track"
this is the good stuff. stoked for disintegration
so many bangers. such a vibe. and then, to top it all off, of montreal turn up! what an album.
viiiiiiictoria
a begrudging three
Paul 4 lyf
duh, what else?
holy synth
gut feeling, whadda banger
was ready to give this a 2 after the first couple of songs, but boy does it pick up
the GOAT
do I know what rhetorical means?!?
i will see you in the next life
some good tracks, a lot of filler
best thing you can say about this is that it's very short
what do you mean hairdresser on fire's B side only?!
i had a DSOTM patch on my bag at school. comfortably the coolest thing 17 year old me ever did
where's da bangers
supremely chill
i found this hugely disappointing. oh well!
one year on this site and ive thoroughly embraced the dan
that lou reed sample, man...
sometimes you gotta round up
didn't like it then, don't like it now
the musical equivalent of the silence from doctor who
it's the blues, man
the transition from in blue hawaii into good vibrations is almost - almost - as smooth as the insane transition from justice into kevin morby the DJ pulled off at our friends wedding
i think "no body no crime" might genuinely be one of the worst songs i've ever heard
björing
enjoyed this, but no way in hell I'm doing the full 2hrs 20 mins
what the actual fuck.
WORKING FOR THE CHURCH WHILE YOUR FAMILY DIES
sad lad indie banger
-2 points for imagine, +1 for george harrison
https://clickhole.com/enough-time-has-passed-to-reveal-george-w-bush-was-the-1825124201/
just think how much better my blue lines review would be doing if i gave it the proper score of 4. i'm sorry, it was my second album, i was still calibrating!
the first album i ever bought! still very close to my heart; still good.
dunno what's worse, the band name or the album name. slaps despite both of these
never knowingly interesting
this is a 2.5 but im rounding up cos robbie is very sweet
really really good. don't miss the james bond song
love about half of the songs on here, but as a record it's not one of SFA's best
"lick summer love" sounds like it has Toad singing in the background
i wouldn't live there if you paid me
she vince on my bus til i eruptum
just a perfect album. and so many low key bangers!
this vs achtung baby is guns vs frocks for normies
this is pretty good, all things considered
lol at the dude drawing parallels with james joyce in the reviews. five of these fuckers down, one to go...
an all timer from my undergrad days. one of those albums that becomes part of you and never leaves. phenom.
some chronically bad takes in the reviews here
lives up to its reputation... and then some.
3 for the showtunes, 1 for the country bits, take the average
this is probably a 2, but child of time elevates the whole endeavour
greetings traveller, my name is falconhoof and i will be your guide on your quest
in fairness to the haters, his voice is VERY annoying
this is an extremely generous three
real good! like a more shoegazey horrors
this album slaps so hard. every song just gets better and better
the ctrl+alt+del guy?!??
boy, has this aged badly
i'm meant to listen to an HOUR of this?!?
"hillbilly highway"... come now.
when i tell you she was cool, she was red hot // i mean, she was steaming
if this is your bag, then this is gonna be monumental - the best to ever do it. unfortunately, this is not my bag
hell yeah
booooring
enjoyed this despite myself
blink and you'll miss it
enjoyed this, which is good cos there's apparently three of em on this list
stupid fake beatles
this happened to my friend tim once
hell YEAHHHHH
these two things are true: 1. i thoroughly enjoyed every track on this album; 2. i skipped every track after about 2.5 mins
this is the good shit. late 2000s, what a grand old time
just shy of perfect!
concept fabulous, execution less so
i listened without prejudice... and found a warm, rewarding 3/5. nice 1 george
weird, interesting, heaps of fun, no way i would've found this myself.... this is what this site is all about!!!
what a way to end a run of 3s
me: i want the pogues mom: we have the pogues at home the pogues at home:
to the tune of under pressure: *OGRE BATTLE*
theatrical, melancholy, richly layered... everything you might want from glam rock
back of the net
genius of love, what a tune
afraid this did absolutely nothing for me
what next, ed sheeran?
i mean, this is just superb
time of the season is the main attraction but there are some serious bangers across this bad boy
the bruce picks on this list are really weird. no river? no wild innocent + e street shuffle?
we have, erm, dodgy at home...?
doesn't come close to the weezer song
just plain good stuff, innit?
the perfect kiss? the perfect song more like
man, "help" sure hits different after you read the wikipedia page
this is a very high 3... but it ain't a 4
believe the hype!
really enjoyed this, unlike their other album on the list. you gotta hand it to 'em here
loadsa good stuff on here
not even a feeling
this is the kind of music that the feminist lawyer in the west wing would listen to
era-definining stuff.
surprisingly fun, but this has no business being 77 mins long
loads of fun!
no thank you
bit dull really...
john gets angry
battleships confide in me // tell me where you are
perilously close to a 5
me for the past nine months: gee i wonder what the album will be on the day my baby is born cursed mickey mouse:
superb concept; pedestrian execution
i thought this was going to be like stereophonics
we are the survivors of landfill indie
this is gooood stuff
i mean, it's fine, but it's also very long
i'm sorry but it's not the 90s and i'm not incredibly basic
superhero songwriter
justifiability is in the hands of the beholder
SO good.
tell this to your gods... when they punish you... when they stretch you on the neutron rack... i'm still here.
super chill
honk if thatcher's deid
you could argue this is a 3 on the basis of it being inoffensive but look man i gotta give out more 2s. being boring doesn't cut it, and this dudes voice is annoying to boot
too dull and inoffensive to justify a 3
heaps o fun
some bits were ace, some bits were less ace
i get it, but cmon, some of this sounds like stuff you'd hear at a 90s school disco
weird.... but v v fun
c'mon, what's this doing on a list like this
YES.
i don't this this holds up quuuuuuuite well enough to be a 5, but man, those really were the days
low key really enjoyed this
this is fine but uninteresting. (i'm getting punchier with my 2s for ok-but-dull albums!)
american pie is such a great song. the story of music through the 60s, told with rich imagery and imbued with mythic import
i've been pretty cool on all things simon and/or garfunkel throughout the 1001, but hey, i really enjoyed this
kinda dull ngl
tedious
B.R.E.A.M (bants rules everything around me)
we had American Pie recently and this is a very similar proposition - canonical banger of staggering scope and ambition, followed by some very mid tunes.
they play this when the queen dies; can't get any more metal than that
helicopter is a straight lift of the fourth track here
the seeeeeecret life of pets 2
this sure is chill
nobody has any right to give this any less than a 4
deeply naff.
moz's best imo
i'd be lying if i said i didn't enjoy the hell outta this
electric lady without the good bits
"master, what's a bongo?"
man, this has all the stuff i like
despite secret bjork, enough to like here to earn a 3
two stars cos it gave me some (unintentional) laughs
i wasn't expecting *that*
middling lows, but very high highs
this is a three star album but i can absolutely understand how it'dve been five stars in 2004
travis-ty
hey, i recognise this from san andreas. doesn't hit the same irl
not quite on the level of breakfast in america, but a phenomenal album all the same
wanna buy some deathsticks?
well, it's no relationship of command, but it is very good
shades of the beautiful south, shades of jazz, has a song later covered (sort of) by robert wyatt of all people. merits a 4 on the strength of how interesting all this is alone
dull dull dull
perilously close to a 1
the musics fine, but the lyrics... aggressively shit
every song sounds the same... for eighty minutes
it's chriiiiisssttmaaaaasssss!!!!! extremely dated.
i always thought early U2 were less cringe, but turns out they're still cringe just in a different way
go and google rod stewart doing the scottish cup draw. do it now!
i listened to it years ago and thought it was ok. but really enjoyed it this time. growth? decay?
so... dull...
aggressively 2010 but hey, i love this stuff
