I was asked if I had laser eye surgery because I had stopped wearing my glasses.
I explained about 1001 albums generator and how it’s a great way to get out of a musical rut and expand your knowledge. It introduces you to things that may never have been on your radar and you otherwise may never have heard of.
I then told them about The Hagman’s Beautiful Daughter by The incredible String Band, an album so terrible it made me regret the endeavour, grudge my Apple Music subscription and ultimately cut my ears off so as to never endure something like this again and that is the reason I no longer wear my glasses 🤓.

Doolittle did very little for me. A few good songs (which I have on the greatest hits) this didn’t blow me away.
I’m very much in the minority it seems but I just don’t really get the Pixies.

The good thing about 1001albumsgenerator is that you maybe start with the opinion that although you liked the Jam, you hated Paul Weller solo stuff, and just like that you get Wild Wood and your opinion is validated.
A competent album that neither moves or excites but simply floats over your head leaving you no better off for having listened to it

Thought process while listening.
What a din.
Don’t know if I like it but.
Sonically some interesting ideas just a shame the can’t turn them into songs.
How long does this go on for?
Can’t wait to hear what’s next.
Are these lyrics I’m supposed to be hearing?
I bet people have killed while listening to this.
At least that one was short.
Jings, what’s next?
Jesus wept
And
Just laughing to myself
Certainly a challenging listen. Not my taste wouldn’t say it was good but also not the worst thing I’ve ever listened too.
Don’t think I’ll be listening again though.
Now off to recommend to others just for fun 😂

I get the feeling I would hear a song from this in a cool bar on a nice Sunday afternoon. I’d like if and make a point to listen to the album which I’d also like because it’s all that same song. Listened to half and realised I’d heard all this album has to offer.

It ain’t hard to tell that this is a contender for the best rap LP of all time, maybe Wu-tang pip it to the post
An excellent debut that really does represent a NY State of mind
Representin’ y’all it’s illmatic
1 rapper, 1 guest spo (the criminally underrated AZ), 5 dope producers (Large Professor, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Q-tip and L.E.S.)
9 incredible songs and an intro.
An album I’ve owned on CD, cassette, LP, MP3 and I even have the documentary DVD.
Nice to take a trip down memory lane.

Jeru The Damaja
5/5
Love this LP, still got my vinyl copy purchased for £8.99 at One-Up records, Aberdeen in 1994.
Jeru is a great rapper and these are some of DJ Premier’s best beats. I am somewhat surprised but happy to see this on the list,It’s a solid east coast rap LP no mistake, just not sure it’s more worthy than countless other great rap lps released in 94 (well 90s in general),Never know we may see some of them later.
I also wonder if we’ll see “Wrath of the Math” on the list.
Miles Davis
2/5
Erm, I don’t hate this but I don’t like it either I’m barely down 2 songs in my drive to and from work and I usually do a whole album in that trip.
I may come back to this at some point but I’m not sure my patience will let me
Afrika Bambaataa
3/5
I’m a big fan of rap and hip-hop so I am fully aware of Bambaataa, (the good stuff and the bad) his impact on hip-hop and I’ve even seen him DJ live. I’ve never however, been a massive fan of Electro. Sure of course I know Planet Rock, Renegades and Perfect beat but I wasn’t excited to listen to this LP, but I must say I enjoyed it more than I expected.

88/89 saw the release of It takes a nation by Public Enemy, 3 feet high and rising by De La Soul, and Paul’s Boutique by The Beastie Boys, all 3 LPS were a masterclass in sampling and really showed what could be achieved “stealing” from other artists.
Paul’s boutique has an estimated 105 samples, although I suspect there’s many more. The fact that it is so cohesive is testament to the production skills of the Dust Brothers
Unfortunately the legal action taken against De La meant that the sampling laws changed and hip-hop has never really sounded as good as this ever since.
Paul’s boutique-An easy 5⭐️
Beastie Boys are potentially my favourite group of all time and this might be my favourite of their albums (it’s not its Ill communication. It’s not its Hello Nasty)

LP fails to live up to the excellent title track. A good nog great LP

In 95 I was deep into hip-hop, had no time for the likes of Alanis Morissette.
Wasn’t for me, wasn’t my thing, wasn’t good.
Now here I am scratching 50 and I’ve taken the time to listen to jagged little pill and it is good very good in fact I’m gonna actually give it a 5.

I am a huge hip-hop fan but I have never listened to this LP. I know other Jungle Brothers LPs, straight out the jungle, and raw deluxe get a thumbs up

I have also caught them live but the group just didn’t grab my attention like Tribe or De La, but Done by the forces of nature is really good, who knew?
I really should have listened sooner.

I am adding a new word to my vocabulary, Kiwanuka. I will use it in place of wonderful, excellent or beautiful.
This sounds like Ibiza chill out has been hanging out with Afro soul, 70s blaxploitation, 60s rock, funk and soul for a weekend and had a great time. Kiwanuka LP
5 big Kiwanuka bouncy stars

N.W.A.
4/5
A very important piece of hip hop history. No NWA, no or certainly very different versions of Ice Cube, Dr Dre and by extension Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Tupac to name a few. An album I first heard as 12 year old, I don’t question its cultural significance. I do however question its stature. It has 4 or 5 very good songs but songs with Easy E or no Ice Cube suffer.
Still a 4 though for its impact
The Beau Brummels

Enjoyable enough but who did I have to hear this?

I now dislike Bowie slightly less than I thought, although the Jazz stylings of the title track make it almost unlistenable.

Groundbreaking, boundary pushing and genre defining three phrases that do not describe this LP.
At times lovely and at times dull.
Beck is more fun when he’s having fun.

Yup, first track I thought this was too heavy for me, but I loved this rocky futuristic punk that sounded like a prototype Prodigy. Wouldn’t sound out of place on a Powell and Peralta skate video.

A strange one this, managing to both love and be extremely bored by it, sometimes within the same song.
My overall feeling though is that I liked it
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
OutKast
4/5
Let’s be honest here, I like OutKast but they have 4 better albums than this. It’s not bad, in fact I enjoy the majority of it.
Big Boi’s speakerboxxx is the better of the two solo albums but it’s Andre 3000 who has the bigger song cause if you don’t know OutKast from Ms. Jackson you sure as hell know them from Hey Ya.
I’d probably give this 7 out of 10 so I’ll round up to a 4 out of 5 but I do think this is OutKast’s weakest LP…. Idlewild doesn’t count.
Also truly a double LP with this essentially two solo albums but it’s tooooooooooo long.
Billie Holiday
3/5
I know this is good but not for me. It does also sound to samey musically.
Good not great
New Order
4/5
Kraftwerk
5/5
wirklich verdammt gut
Black Sabbath
4/5
Radiohead
2/5
Well, I wasn’t a Radiohead fan before listening to this and I sure as hell am not one after listening to it either.
Public Enemy
3/5
A few of PE best songs on an ok LP
Don McLean
3/5
American pie is a banger and consequently I think the rest of the LP suffers. I like Maclean’s voice and the songs are good but the rest struggle to match the title track
Slipknot
2/5
Now, did I like this more than I expected or hate it less than expected.
Not my bag but not terrible. Reminiscent of BodyCount, don’t like them either
Sonic Youth
2/5
Just not very good,
Norah Jones
3/5
Thoroughly nice LP if ever so slightly bland, if it were ice cream it would be vanilla, pizza it would be Margherita and crisps it would be ready salted.

Janelle Monáe

It’s like Bowie and Beyoncé birthed a big beautiful bouncing baby but better and it’s brilliant.
Loved it
R.E.M.
5/5
Automatic For The People by R.E.M.
A truly great L.P. and an easy 5 ⭐️. I was 15 or 16 when this was released and my friends and I listened to it a lot as well as other LPs by the band.
I tried to ignore the fact that I know I love this LP and the band and listen with fresh ears, I still love this LP. Although it does hit differently as I approach 50, far more melancholic than I remember.
I have so many memories attached to this record and it is truly a masterpiece.

Did I like some of this? Yes. Did I like all of this? No. Did I sigh, roll my eyes at times? Yes. Did I actively hate Mind Garden? Yes.

Little Simz
4/5
Said it before, I’m a big rap fan, I have and do however struggle with the British scene and I don’t count many female rappers as my favourites but this is actually quite good. I will say it is elevated by the production but I tend to care more about that than lyrics mostly. Enjoyed this, surprised.
Death In Vegas

A collection of what sounds like a bunch of industrial trip hop interludes.
