1001 Albums Summary

This really surprised me and was right up my wheelhouse. Came close to giving it a 5/5. Waiting for the night, personal Jesus and enjoy the silence are absolute bangers

Not his best but still good and a solid 3. Time, Aladdin and Jean standouts

Enjoyable listen

Very long and very repetitive

Difficult to believe this is 50 years old. Definitely one to go back to 5/5

Overwhelming relief when it was over

Bizarrely enjoyable

Impressive live, good listen

Over 60 years old and still some bangers

Unsure if it was the fumes because I was painting whilst listening but very enjoyable, epitaph and crimson in particular

No idea what the lads banging on about but enjoyable sound throughout. Too long

Difficult to believe this had mixed reviews on release. Outstanding

Ironically nearly gave up during don’t give up. Kate Bush couldn’t even save this one for me

Haven’t listened to this through for a long time. Such a great listen start to finish

Thought this was great listen. Love how eclectic it is. Public enemy/NWA vibes. Potential fifer on relisten

Once went to a wedding where bunch of 40 year old blokes stormed round to our house with ties wrapped round there head. Put me off that song and the rest of this album is worse. To give them their due they’re distinctive and instantly recognisable, just not my cup of tea

Listened to this disjointed over last few days which probably wasn’t ideal. But enjoyable album, really enjoyed the ditty’s in between

Easy going listen, very inoffensive. Feel on relisten could improve however didn’t blow me away

Thought this really worked. No major standouts but whole album just flowed

Laid back, easy going listen however doubt I’d rush back to it

Difficult to believe this is live- what a voice!

Felt like I should’ve liked it, just felt really disjointed. Imagine it’s influenced a lot but felt it lacked its own identity and was too chaotic

Green day are so recognisable and this was a great listen. Basket case a highlight but a fun listen throughout

Had 2 beck albums now and enjoyed both, felt this was better listen as a whole. Tailed off a bit but overall great listen

This just didn’t work for me. Long and boring

I really disliked this, it’s long, dull and found his tone irritating. A song also seemingly empathetic towards Gacy? Bed wetters music

Short and sweet

Atol protected. Enjoyed this throwback, if I’d not been listening whilst doing laundry may have scored higher

Difficult to believe this is in the top 10,000 albums

Really worked for me, definitely going to go back to his earlier stuff

Enjoyable throwback with a couple of bangers thrown in

Love thunder cat and this was a lovely listen

Probably the best of the electronic we’ve had. If you’re going to do it, go Eno ambient. Listened whilst building some ikea furniture; perfect activity for this album and may have inflated the rate

Probably wouldn’t rush back to it but easy listen. Porcelain is a banger

I know this goes down as one of the greatest of all times but it’s just not my bag. I could appreciate it and didn’t dislike it but wouldn’t return

Love this album, bombtrack straight into KITNO riff is such a great transition. Interesting to have this post Metallica, enjoyed this much more

Never listened to Mott and surprised how much I enjoyed this. Bowies influence all over it probably inflated the score but still some great songs (Memphis and hymn were highlights)

Found half of this on YouTube. Difficult to find, in German and it’s theatrical- holy trinity of shite

Easy listening soul album. Mostly forgettable but overall an easy listen

Guitar solos and synth, very enjoyable

I’d never previously listened to this through. Can hear so much of their later stuff in this. Good listen but not one I’d rush back to so 3/5

Only thing I knew about them was Perry farrells recent on stage breakdown. Felt later songs better, but probably wouldn’t go back

Classic listen. Short, snappy songs (and album). Loud and repetitive but not in an unenjoyable way

Never really given the dandy warhols a chance and now I have no idea why. Loved this and right in my wheelhouse. Came close to 5 but flagged a little bit mid album

Never thought I was a jazz man but here we are

Another day, another brilliant jazz album. The only thing I knew Duke for before this was Big Mouth. Skin deep could have been the whiplash finale

I went into this expecting find Bragg grating. At times I found the lyrics too forced left-fed left wing ideology but enjoyed the folk and some of the protest songs were really catchy

Unoriginal, boring and bloated. Scraped a 2

Hotel lobby vibes, forgettable

Love this album. Took so much of what was great about NWA and made improved. Laid the foundation for much more in the 90s

Enjoyed large parts of this- dark lyrics, stripped back. However a lot of it was a bit too bare for me. Potentially higher on a repeat listen

This honestly made me question why I don’t listen to Iron Maiden more. It’s all so well put together- the build up, the solos- absolutely loved it. Children of the damned and run to the hills highlights

Best album ever made imo. Every song is 5/5.

Easy going, lovely listen with some bangers sprinkled through

I enjoyed parts of this a lot, our house is such a good song. In parts found myself getting bored.

I have such a soft spot for this album. One of the first albums I bought myself and still stands the test of time. Through to bucket doesn’t really miss a beat

Listened to this first thing and it’s got a nice sound. Was just a little bit too cry yourself to sleep for my tastes. Possibly on another listen will score higher

just not my bag, scraped a 2

Decent listen and kept interesting throughout, changes such as great song. High 3 on first listen, likely higher if I went back to it

I’m sure this inspired lots and seems ahead of its time. However found myself so bored throughout. Just scraped a 3 but so forgettable I won’t be going back

Take your 5 ya merry bastard

Loved this, felt like I was in a 70s movie. Jazz/blues element kept it really interesting- would go back

Excellent album- heroine the highlight

Cracking album this, great background music

This grew on me, first couple of songs thought it was going to be a tough listen. But although repetitive, easy listening with enough going on to bop along to

So stereotypically French it came full circle and I quite enjoyed it. Felt like I was sat in a Parisian restaurant

Please forgive me for the exposure of my guilty pleasures. May be bland and boring but I love David Gray. Forgive me, Babylon and years love highlights

As a concept album just really worked for me.

Difficult to grasp why so many people are averse to Coldplay. Hit the ground running here; some absolute bangers. Trouble, shiver and everything’s not lost highlights (love yellow but bit of Mr Brightside to it)

I always struggle rating early Beatles. It’s hard not to think it’s derivative until you realise it’s everything else that’s influence by it. Either way great album with some standouts

Only knew holding back the years before listening. Much of the same really, very banal and forgettable

What a fantastic soul/funk album. Smooth 70s funk, loved it

Baffling to see the hate for this. Wasted time was such a great interlude. Probably wouldn’t rush back to this but lovely listen

Lot of soul recently and this was another cracker. Incredible voice and backing. Would’ve been a 5 but bit too repetitive

Felt like this was trying to do hundred things, most of them poorly. Didn’t enjoy the vocals, too chaotic

Never listened to this through before and what an album! In da club, if I can’t, PIMP all cracking but holds its own throughout. Fiddy gives such a soft gangsta rap that he feel if he were to smash my face in, it would come from a good place

Great listen- lively funk album that remained interesting. Little bit on the lengthy side but enjoyed throughout

Every time I listen to this, and it has been a while, I always think it’s going to be way over hyped. But then as I listen it always grows on me. It builds throughout whilst remaining interesting, should listen to Wilco more

I like public enemy and there’s a lot in here to like. However seemed too much of a good thing this one. Found myself willing it to end by the last few songs

Never listened to the fall and there were bits that were fine but majority was a struggle. Wouldn’t return

If there was a Bechdel test for music this would’ve failed every song, not a win for feminism. It wasn’t a tough listen but extremely repetitive and very much feel I could’ve died without listening to this one

This was a mixed bag, desire lines was an absolute banger but a lot of it didn’t hit. May score higher or lower on relisten and probably needs a bit more time

This was fantastic. Dark, atmospheric with Smiths distinctive lyrics. Need to get more cure in my rotation

Love this one a lot

When he asked what is the point of this story I couldn’t help but agree, this was as dull as dishwater. Cars are cars up there as worst song on this generator so far. You’re better than this Paul

I enjoyed that huge first song and tears in the second half was decent. Probably wouldn’t go back

Not really listened to iggy pop before and this was cracking. Lust for life and passenger highlights with Bowies influence all over them

Lesser of the two BB albums we’ve had and pretty rough around the edges. Slow ride, girls and fight for your right the highlight (girls was bizarrely enjoyable)

This really deserves its reputation. Absolute bop throughout with once in a lifetime and crosseyed highlights

No idea how this took nearly 20 years to write. Slow, dour and irritating. Each song was a battle

This was a lot of grime. Had its moments though and just snuck a 3

Loved this ain’t no cure for love and tower of song highlights. Bizarrely enjoyable songs in the middle too (jazz police in particular). Would come back

Again needs to be in my rotation more. Excellent and baffling that they dropped off the planet after

Nas is someone that I always skip over other names when in a hip hop mood but this album is incredible. Hard to believe this was his debut. First half is stacked with bangers

Not one I’m sure I needed to listen to before I died. Very forgettable, scraped a 3

I remember in 2003 listening to this on a Normandy history trip, I stared out the window at war graves with boulevard playing thinking it was the deepest point of my life. Was a sad act but what a way to reminisce. Mostly belters, easy 5/5

A lot of this was pretry standard 70s stuff but a nice easy listen with some highlights in there, thirteen, try again and watch the sunrise highlights

Difficult to say much about this album that hasn’t already been said more eloquently by others. There’s something reassuring about the familiarity of it. Time into TGGITS into money is up there as the best song run in the list so far

Great album, tailed off slightly otherwise may have been a 5

Can’t believe I’ve never listened to this before. A lot of fun throughout and will definitely be returning

This started really well, very maccabees-esque but seemed to tail off. Potential to score higher or lower on a relisten tbh

This felt like an AI generated britpop album. Middle of the road guff, snuck a 3

Easy Sunday listen. Peaked where it started with concrete jungle

Enjoyed this more than the cars are cars travesty but still found it dull in parts. Julio and the percussion kept it interesting enough to sneak a 3

Why oh why do I need to listen to this before I die.

We’ve had a fair bit of hip hop now and this has been the weakest. I enjoy wu tang but the lyrics were aggressive, it was repetitive and long. Rainy days and ice cream were highlights

Decent enough pop. Hurt, candyman and ain’t no other man are highlights

Oof this was great. Brown sugar and wild horses at the start are two absolute belters then holds its own throughout. Close to a 5/5

Really nice funk album- that lady and summer breeze bangers but easy listening throughout

I really felt like I’d enjoy this one, but it was incredibly boring over its 1hr+. The only variant being bizarre lyrics which seemed strange for the sake of it. Fireflies down the end was decent and that’s the good news was so bizarre it became enjoyable. Certainly won’t be returning

Couldn’t connect with this at all, just not my bag

Again high hopes for this one but was so incredibly bored by the end nearly gave it a one

I really tried to enjoy this but just couldn’t. Bloated songs into a bloated album that felt repetitive. Just not my cuppa

Loved every bit of this. An improved Nico at the start, Dylan-esque in parts and reminded me of sugarman in others. Interesting throughout

Didn’t like the songs I knew on this album and like the ones I didn’t know even less

Lord knows how many drugs were consumed in making this. Had its moments and could see them reaching for latter stuff but bit too left field to score higher

Undoubtedly a classic but felt myself drifting during parts. High 3

Such a good listen, will be going back

Second miles Davis we have had and equally as good

This was a teetering on the edge of mediocre until the final 2 songs lasting >10 mins each offered absolutely nothing. No chance of a return to this one and baffling it’s on the list

Lot o onions

Just didn’t get on with this. Safe, boring album

New one for me this and loved it

This for me is one of his weakest but it actually gets better as it goes on- the more ambient/eno it gets the more I enjoyed

First listen of Alice Cooper and sort of expected more. It was fine but not exactly shocking. I love the dead to finish was bizarre

I can only assume this made the list because the poor producer died trying to save it. Reception music

I enjoyed the majority of this in spite of its feature film length. God into spread into where are my panties gave me a real chuckle

This was a cracking Sunday listen

Decent guitar solos and cracking debut album. However found 1984 more interesting when we had that and this didn’t blow me away

Some hip hop heritage in this but just a bit too repetitive. Laid the ground work for a lot

This was a lot of fun, great tempo kept interesting. Girls wanna have fun and time after time are classics

Red alert and bingo bango are still cracking songs, wouldn’t rush back but a nice morning bop

Cracking album, packs a punch in it 35 mins. 3 massive songs and rest holds its own

Undoubtedly got couple of bangers but largely throughout found myself getting bored

Absolutely loved this from start to finish

I love a bit of VM and this starts really strong but it lost me near the end and slipped into a 3

About as dull as rock gets with Steve Tyler’s grating voice on top, not for me

I had never even heard of this let alone listened to it. Loved it. Lofi hip hop sound kept interesting throughout. Will be going back

This was dark, haunting and moving. Very cave. A lot for a Monday morning but absolutely loved it.

Unsure exactly why I needed to listen to this before I died but it was fine

This was guaranteed a three by how much American pie slaps but the rest was a bit of a damp squib

Not really my bag anyway but felt like this straddled a halfway house. Semi psychedelic whilst remaining bland, would’ve preferred if they’d pushed the psych further

Found this the weakest of the three len albums we’ve had but can see a lot of his later stuff in this

Much the same as the first muddy waters album, easy listen

Whenever I think of Floyd somehow forget this one. Got some classics- wall trilogy, comfortably numb, hey you. But actually think it shines in the quieter moments- goodbye blue sky, empty spaces, in the flesh. Great one to stick on at end of day

I like public enemy and this was enjoyable. Feel would’ve liked more if it was 20 mins shorter

This is why I love this list. Guitar blues album from a Mali band fleeing civil war and it was actually pretty decent. Language barrier probably stopped it scoring higher but was vibrant and enjoyable listen

Gotta love Joni, such a voice

Wanna be startin somethin is such a good song and then this just doesn’t stop. Outrageously good run of songs

I enjoyed most of this but became very repetitive. Multiple less good versions of teenage kicks became slightly tiresome

Got through 2/3rds of this and counting as a lesson. There’s some genuinely decent stuff in this but unfortunately it’s sandwiched between monotony and shite

So unbelievably 60s. Really enjoyed it on a sunny day. That sunshine of love riff is a beaut.

Always thought REM were a bit dour for dours sake but very enjoyable

This was very early 2000s but just so not my cup of tea. All worse versions of fire starter and not even a massive fan of that

This was an average listen, enjoyed run and a couple of others. Just constantly felt I could be listening to better bands in the same genre

This was really dull, didn’t really have anything going on

Cracking voice and enough variability to remain interesting. Love and affection standout

This was a lovely listen, could’ve gone again when it was finished

Bang average

This had its moments but by god I can’t remember them

Not for me this

Sort of reassuring that there’s people out there who love this. Something for everyone. Angry music by angry people for angry people

Easy listen, higher ground is a banger

Considering he doesn’t remember recording this what an album. Golden years the highlight

Really enjoyable, will go back

Repetitive songs with repetitive lyrics. Stick to the Xmas songs lads

I just found this irritating and felt like it was trying to irritate me

Absolutely loved this, listened on Sunday morning and was perfect. Take five will likely be the only jazz song I recognise in this list

This definitely fell into the category of why do I need to listen to this before I die

Can’t believe this is our second orbital album. This avoided a one by a couple of songs being fine (kein trink wasser). But a lot of it was just horrendous noise

Sap city bitch. Poor mans John Denver

Ready or not and killing me are 5 star songs, rest of the album really holds up. Seminal and hard to believe nearly 30 years old, would hold up today

Not sure I’ve ever listened to a LZ album through but really enjoyable. Started hot and tailed off a bit

Really enjoyed this- eclectic, interesting listen

Shows flashes of what’s to come but some of this is a tough listen (the gift). Salvaged by sister ray

This was probably the best of the show gaze run we’ve had. More energetic, easier listen but saying that doubtful I’d go back. Snuck a 3

Has its moments but for the most part is background music

Loved this, made me feel good. Great ogs and covers, close to a 5

I was really looking forward to this and it does undoubtedly has some iconic songs. But it just didn’t hold up as well as I thought it would. Dragged in places and feel there’s much better from same period. Sorry Slim

Initially listened whilst running which was a dreadful choice, enjoying much better on a relisten so have split the difference. One to return to- could go either way

I loved this. Stripped back, melancholic. Listened to it twice and will be going back

Wasn’t very beach boys. Dull as dishwater, went back for a slight re listen and don’t know if I’m missing something. Just didn’t hit

Bat out of hell is such a good song and rest of the album holds up

I really tried to love this more but it just didn’t hit me as much as I wanted. Found large parts dull and dragged. Couple of highlights in there but certainly not envious of glasto goers

Who knows where the time goes was lovely but other than that was pretty dull, was ready for it to be done

Machine head but it’s liveeee

Love a bit of talking heads and psycho killer is a banger but a lot of this merged into one big ol mediocre song

Love this album- really enjoy the blues element. Gimme shelter and YCAGWYW up there as my fav stones songs

Sure this was influential. But just was so bored throughout

This album is absolutely dreadful. Starts bizarrely, no variety and lyrics are terrible. But it made me laugh so much I couldn’t give it a 1, had entertainment value despite being awful

Really enjoyed this for the most part. Got a bit tired of the concept by the end so didn’t quite hit 4

Snuck a 3. Decent voice, enjoyed how stripped back it was but really quite boring

Diamonds on the sole of her shoes into Al is a delight. Hearts and bones being before this is wild, zero to hero

El clasico

Ace of spades is a classic. Cracking riffs but a bit repetitive of a genre I’m not that bothered about

Actually liked the other songs but the 17 minute whopper was too much. A lot going on without direction and couldn’t get behind it

Took a little to get into this but once I did enjoyed it. Very acid but pleasant on a sunny evening

Finally some Brucey. 2nd fav album. Badlands is hell of a start and the triple to finish is glorious

Every Miles Davis album we’ve had has been superb and this continued it

Enjoyed large parts of this but cant see myself ever returning

This is why I love this generator/list. Would never have listened to this in a million years. Listening to light my fire on the sittar was lovely

This was a lot of fun, nearly hit the 5

This was what I was expecting from all the Metallica we’ve had. Starts with enter the sandman which obviously slaps but then continues at such a high level. Less thrashing for the sake of thrashing

This was one of first albums I ever bought. First 5 or 6 it doesn’t really miss a beat. Does eek out a bit at the end but still a nostalgic 5

This really surprised me. Tracy’s flaw, lately and secretly the standouts. Just snuck a 4

About as bang on an average 3 as it comes. Late 60s fodder

Cracking album- angels and let me entertain you highlights but holds its own throughout, very enjoyable

I was going to give this a 3 halfway through but I was so bored by the end I couldn’t justify it

This has got some bangers on it, quite long and repetitive but still enjoyed

Enjoyed parts of this but very odd to be on this list

May have ozzy tinted glasses on but this was a great listen. Self titled into wizard was great and finished strong. Very listenable lengthy songs

This really surprised me, stripped back and dark. Needle of death a highlight

Thought this had some bops on it but didn’t quite crack the 4

Irritating voice, lyrics. Long, boring songs

This was a lot of fun. Bedrock of early hip hop. Gets off to a great start. Bit of always sunny beat with genius of love. The message is a classic. Would be a cert 5 if not for a couple of mishits (full synth Scorpio)

Enjoyed this more than close to the edge but still not massively up my street. Easy enough listen

This really irritated me

This always seemed to threaten to get going but never did. Castles made of sand a highlight

Peaked where it started, unlikely to go back

Slight preference for good kid but this is about as good as it gets. Wesley’s theory cracking start and king kunta up there as my fav Kendrick. Holds its own throughout

Feel weaker of their bigger albums. Morrissey already starting to become grating. Enough on it for a 3

First 4 on this are pretty perfect. Soft spot for battle for evermore. Such a recognisable cover too

Just doesn’t miss. The stranger I always find haunting at the start. Scenes is such a good mid album mix up. Vienna probably my favourite Joel. Then you still have absolute classics littered throughout. Finishes on an upbeat too and stuck me in a cracking mood

Ominous bass behind dreadful spoken lyrics

A lot of post punk in this list and it’s just not my bag

Lost cause is a cracker and I do like this album but it’s a lot of the same. Perfect for a certain mood but a 3 nonetheless

This was a cracking listen throughout even before the last 2 absolute classics

Madness that this is nearly 70 years old and holds up really well

Really enjoyed this album. We are the pigs and the wild ones highlights. Definitely guna return

I really like Leonard but this wasn’t the easiest listen, probably wouldn’t return

I like a bit of Willie and this was a pleasant stripped back listen but feel like it never really got going. Stunning unchained melody though

Lovely listen this. Blown and don’t think twice are peak Dylan. Soft spot for a hard rain too. Tails off slightly but cracking listen

Never actually listened to this one and have only really delved into enos older stuff. Enjoyable enough but found myself drifting in parts. Finished on a high with the final 2

About as middle of the road as it comes

Enjoyable glam but feel there’s better around it

Snuck a 4. Really like war on drugs and this was a decent, chilled listen

Who’d have thought the band by the band would be so generic and forgetful. I instantly forgot this after listening

Expected more from this after the bio.

This was a decent, interesting listen. Animal zoo a highlight

God I love tom petty so much, what a loss. Loved this one. American girl is top tier

Love this list for this stuff, great listen

Like the beastie boys but sounded exactly what it was- a bunch of demos. Actually found the boulabaisse extras more interesting

Never properly listened to kraftwerk before as didn’t think it would be my bag. Strangely enough loved this, would go back

This was very average but I’m a sucker for a bit of country

Dusty got a cracking voice but preacher man scraped this a 3. Very forgettable otherwise

Incredibly had this on for first time in forever the day before we got it. Still listened to it again. Top tier

Decent voice but this was dullll

Almost unlistenable. Wild that people enjoy this

I thought this was guna a long, tough listen but I absolutely loved it. Incredible find, cracking jazz

Excellent listen, can tell Kanye all over this and actually when he wasn’t a complete bread bin

Good listen this, nearly snuck a 4

39, best friend made this even prior to bohemian rhapsody. Lost it self a bit mid album but a cracker

Never heard of the bloke now 2 albums in 2 weeks

Not one I’d return to but quite made me want to watch the movie

Great weekend listen, would go back. Also cracking album cover

Not listened to Jurassic 5 in a longtime and tbh could only remember concrete schoolyard. This was a lot of fun, will be going back

Scandi noir vibes, liked the darkness. Got a little bit tiresome especially with the crying babies at the end. When you’ve got one at home you don’t want one in the AirPods

So of its time, incredible live

This really surprised me. Folk done right

Decent enough but expected more

Cracking Monday listen, probably first full u2 album I’ve listened to start to finish. One is such a great song but littered with interesting songs throughout

This just feels like they were trying to be interesting but it just comes out so boring. Rock lobster made me chuckle due to family guy then it went on for 7 mins. Not for me

This is up there as best album we’ve had. The first disc is almost perfect. Second was such a cathartic listen throughout the afternoon

Preferred this at its darker moments. We will fall was my highlight and wish it had continued more like that

Enjoyed this but expected more, found myself losing interest. Finishes on a high

Found this similar to their debut, dropped in some bangers but lost interest in parts. Finished strong

Half listened to this and probably warrants a relisten

This was genuinely moving, the title track in particular

I appreciate this was an important album but it’s just not for me

Was excited for this one and it was just too much/heavy for me. Hurt is a great song but it’s all about the Johnny cash version

Easy listening but expected more.

Loved this, will be exploring more of their catalogue

Good listen- another girl is a banger. Bit too repetitive to score higher

This caught me at the right time- good voice and enjoyed parts. It was just too long and dour

Not much that hasn’t been said, near perfect album

God I love Bob Dylan. It’s all so similar, so much harmonica but I could listen to him all day

What a sexy man. Incredible that this was live

Really caught me this one. Very enjoyable

Creepy story, creepy songs, creepy bloke

Lovely reminiscing to this. Thinking I was cool listening to this as a nipper. First half is absolute top tier. I do feel it drops off in second and for that I’ve dropped it to a 4

One of my favourite albums of all time. All the American recordings are incredible but this tops them all. Majority of the covers better than the originals. Hurt and man who comes around are up there as top Cash. Stripped back it’s so emotive, probably best pre imminent death recording I can think of

English rose is a cracker and this must’ve inspired a lot but found myself drifting

Enjoyed this more than I expected. Preferred its less heavy parts

Loved this. Interesting throughout, great classical twist and difficult believe it was live

Excellent listen, could be a 5 on relisten

Never really got on with this, but can appreciate how seminal it was

Threatened to get going but never did

Hard not to give this a 4, first half rammed full of bangers. Tails off second half

Utter garbage, finished by 12 mins of garbage

Peaks at start but not the strongest album. Drifts throughout and never really caught me. Expected more

Loved this

Loved revelator thought this was going to really surprise me then it was just bland from then on

Bet this social commentary slapped in the late 60s. Still enjoyable and love the kinks, just felt privy to another time

I gave this a good go but life really is too short. Never got it and never will

Started hopeful with this one but then trailed off, struggled to finish

This made me happy in the morning

Lot of fun

Decent beat probs wouldn’t go back

Lotta Rod this but found it generally enjoyable. Hobo song a highlight

New nirvana for me this. Enjoyably soft

This isn’t the worst post punk stuff we’ve had but still not snuck a 3

That laryngitis voice was a nice listen. Tailed off towards the end

Enjoyed large parts of this but threatened to get going and never did. Album of B sides

Not really my bag but easy enough listen and kept me interested

Cracking listen start to finish

Will return to this, incredible to work To

Peaked at the start with englands greatest anthem. Not bad just had its time this

Dull and hard work

In the end such a banger. Enjoyable throughout. Bit heavy in parts but snuck a 4

Not listened to this start to finish before. Understated and stripped back

This was so 80s but not in a good way. Dull synth not held up

This intrigued me throughout. Enjoyed the ambience of it

Belting album start to finish. Bitter sweet, sonnet and drugs are as about as good as this era gets

This was my favourite of the yes albums. Bit less chaotic and settled into it

Mad how old this is, fantastic to listen to

This started so well, just bored me by the end

Just really didn’t need to listen to this one before I died. Boring more than anything

Love a bit of Dylan at Christmas. Rolling stone top Dylan but rest was a nice listen

Much preferred this to harvest. Started really strong with walk on and fizzled somewhat but enjoyable throughout

Not sure I needed to listen to this and would’ve enjoyed more in not sub zero temperature on a miserable morning. But snuck a 3

Obvs not as good as there first but a banger nonetheless

This is cracking throughout. Varied- goes from toe tapping to introspective. Bangers on disc one but takes off second disc

Big beat manifesto

Extremely dull

One nation was such a cracker expects big things. Was a bit average

This really didn’t sit well with me. Garbage

2 albums in a week, this one even more boring

Listens to this twice over the weekend, stunning

Better and more interesting than purple rain but still not really my bag. Lengthy, boring

Started well, too long

Another Simpsons joke with way more depth than I appreciated

She’s got a great voice but this was so Dull

Sunny classic genius couldn’t save this

God imagine being there. Such a good live

Glad I stuck with this one, loved it by the end

Not my fav Dylan but still so comforting

Came close to a 1

Loved this

Respect

I want you saved this from a 2

Nick cave the highlight with sweetest embrace but even he couldn’t save this

Enjoyed this, can see how it inspired britpop. Needed to do more for 4

Loved this and definitely worth a relisten, fontaines-esque

This took me a while but loved it by end. From ol man river loved the variability

Why

This made me feel feelings

Enjoyed how eclectic this was, decent war pigs cover

Only knew title track but this was quality throughout. Good background

Big beats and high emotion

Expected more from this. Was easy enough listening but ready for it to finish

Thought I’d enjoy this and boy was I wrong, just felt like it was deliberately alternative for no other reason than being edgy

Weird talking song but this hit otherwise

The cover of this was beaut, shame the music didn’t match

Sunny afternoon obviously the highlight but lots in this

Loved this. Way over yonder the highlight. Will be going back
