1001 Albums Summary

What a beautiful start to my journey. This album is definitely something I love. Always listened to funk and soul before punk came along and have recently started listening again. Beautiful songs on this album. 10/10

Love steely dan so very happy listening to this laid back tunes. Takes me back to my teenage years.

I have listened to the Rolling Stones but as much as I like some of their songs I found this album so boring. Just couldn’t get into it.

Whatever happened to Norah Jones? Enchanting voice, beautiful songs. I actually have this album. Not played it in years.

What an album. Great sound and great music. Van has such a distinctive voice and I really enjoyed it.

Had this album on cassette. Beautiful sound from the harmonica and such a distinctive voice. Really enjoyed it.

I saw the light- surprised it was Todd Rundgren. Never listened to him before and won’t again. That was the only song I liked. Got bored with each song and had to skip halfway through each one. Not my cup of tea.

Classic disco/ dance tracks. We are family, lost in music , thinking of you. If you like disco then this is for you.

Not my cup of tea. Swiftly moving on……….

One of my favourite bands with Ian McCulloch haunting vocals. Never had this album but discovered a few new songs I’d not heard before. Like the alternative versions too and I’m sure 40 years ago I would have been dancing to Never Stop discotheque version.

Listen to this album most days in our house. One of the greatest albums in my opinion. Love the music, love the band even without Hugh Cornwall. This was the start of many great albums to come.

Really not my cup of tea. Slow and boring for me.

Fabulous album. Love Madonna

Great album. Fast then slow. Soundtrack to my student ( mature ) days. Every song is a banger.

Bit slow in places for me even though I like Damon Albans voice. Not my favourite .

Never a big Springsteen fan but recently have been enjoying his music. This album has some classics. Dancing in the dark, Glory Days, I’m on fire and loved the final song My Hometown.

Listened to this 3 times. Fabulous album with great vocals from Robert Smith. The music is amazing. Always loved the cure. Xx

Always good music from Elvis. A few songs I’d not heard before.

Beautiful songs. How could I not enjoy listening to John Lennon.

Love a bit of 80’s nostalgia. Baseline is funky and vocals are sweet. My favourite scritti politti song was a few years before this but enjoyed the album.

This is in my record collection. Fabulous album. Great debut album. Alison was thought of as one of the first punk love songs.

Second best Damned album. Every song is a banger. Pogo to so many of them. Smash it up , Anti Pope , Love Song all great tracks. Love the maniacal voice of Dave Vanian in These Hands. An early goth sound.

Not a bad album but not Marley’s best. Stir it up was my favourite.

Annoying that I didn’t get to listen as I always love Eminem so I will still rate it.

Not my cup of tea.

Not my cup of tea.

Fabulous. Big Morrissey fan so loved every song. He can do no wrong

A few great kinks tracks.

Can appreciate different music and culture but not an album I would listen to.

Wouldn’t have listened to this before but I quite like the southern rock sound now and Free Bird is a classic. Goes on a bit though.

Not a favourite Bowie album but a couple of good songs

One of my all time favourite bands and album. Followed them on the two tone tour in 79. Every song is a hit.

Classic album. Not always been my thing but love some of the tracks now.

Crazy weird and odd. Liked first song Cool in the pool but not the rest of it.

Have always loved this album. Some great songs

I have all U2 albums including this one but this was definitely the last of the great U2. One is a beautiful song and the rest are ok but after this album it went downhill for them. Bono became too big for his boots .

Quirky voice and ok music but not really my thing.

Linkin Park to me are a mashup of punk and rap although the young generation may think different. I had to listen to this album when my son was a teenager so yes I love it.

Can appreciate the sound of jazz but doesn’t do anything for me.

Not as bad as I thought it would be.

One of the greatest albums. So many fantastic songs.

Smooth operator, your love is king. Fabulous songs. Sade has such a beautiful voice

Liked this album. New band for me.

Love Bowie so love all his albums

Rip it up was definitely a song I danced to in the 80’s. Enjoyed the album

Only liked a couple on this steely Dan album.

Wow never listened before. Is it hip hop or rap? Definitely Punk. Love Tough Guy and Heart Attack Man.

Loved depeche mode in the early 80’s but not listened to much else. Pleasantly surprised by this album.

What a boring album. Never liked Radiohead and I still wasn’t convinced after listening to it.

My son got me to listen to incubus when they first started and I love it.

Never listened to Judas Priest before especially not when this album came out. To be fair it’s not as bad as I expected.

Love Nirvana. Some great songs on a live album unplugged.

Simply beautiful

I was a teenage babysitter and this was one of the albums that was in the house. So I played this so often. Not a bad song on it.

One of the best albums I have ever bought. Also the first band I ever went to see so I love every song on this album.

I’ve tried to like Janis Joplin but her voice is just too much for me. Have listened before but just don’t like it.

Some great songs. X

Love the kinks music.

Love this album

Love nirvana but hadn’t heard this album before. Great songs x

Love this band. Have seen them perform and they are great.

Not a bad pop album

I have rediscovered my all time favourite album. I get shivers down my spine when Drive in Saturday starts and The Prettiest Star is beautiful. Not a bad song on this album. After Bowie died I couldn’t listen to his music but now I will. ❤️

Really not my choice of music. The piano was good sound but trumpet wasn’t my thing and I need words.

Fabulous album and full of hits

Morrissey is one of my go to artists. Every day is like Sunday is a favourite track.

All great songs on this album. Mr Brightside was a classic. Absolutely love it.

Not heard this album before but I love The Doors so I enjoyed it.

Enjoyed this album.

Definitely the worst album so far. Not my genre

Never recognised the name Frank Black but knew I recognised the voice. Really catchy tunes and now I know who he is I realised why I liked him.

Babylon is a great single but the rest are quite dull. In fact I can honestly say in the 90’s I went to see him and it’s the only gig I have ever walked out of. Boring

Great band

Kate Bush is incredible so loved this album

Is it hip hop or rap? I don’t know but I like the beat.

Not a bad album but I didn’t like his high vocals. Swopped and changed too much just when I was getting into it.

Not what I expected. None of the California surfers music. Lot more hippie laid back music. Not bad but too slow for me.

Listened to snippets but not my taste even though I wanted to like it.

Really love the vocals. Good tunes

Love The Fall. Mark E Smith is a great lyricist. Or should I say was although seeing him live could be hit or miss
