1001 Albums Summary

This was one of the first albums I bought and Yes were one of my favourite bands back in the day. This is still one of my favourite albums and one of Yes' best in my opinion. I am glad that Jenny and Tim still have my vinyl copy and my handwritten lyrics!

I'm sure it's a classic but not really my type of music. I quite enjoyed some of the instrumental bits but not the singing - The Lip is particularly bad.

I'd never really listened to a whole Lynyrd Skynyrd album before although I knew Sweet Home Alabama and Free Bird (from this album) very well. Pretty good!

This seemed a bit incoherent. There are some good tracks but I don't think this is his best work.

Not very impressed. Some good riffs but too much distortion and the vocals were too strained for me. Some parts sounded like other things but maybe they sound like them.

A classic in its day and I probably enjoyed it at the time and it's quite good background music but now I find it a bit tedious to listen to. I did see it played live a few years ago which was quite good.

I like Kate Bush but I was disappointed by this album. I found it all a bit insipid. Nothing memorable.

I'd not heard of this band (I wonder why!). I found it pretty dull really. Nothing to write home about.

I'm not a great fan of Thom Yorke's voice and I found this album to be rather dirge like and depressing. Not their greatest work.

Unfortunate (for me) to get two Radiohead albums on the trot. I found this one slightly better (less depressing) than Hail to The Thief but too discordant for me.

At first I thought Oh Dear! this is Country - I don't really like Country - but it's much more than I thought! By track 3 (No Other) I was quite enjoying it. There are some interesting arrangements and good guitar solos (which I do like).

I haven't listened to this all the way through for years. It makes much more sense if you do. It still sounds great with some excellent tracks. I don't consider it a 'concept album' or a 'rock opera' - it's a (sad) story told through a number of songs.

This is a great first album. It has several of their 'Greatest Hits' - 'Do It Again', 'Dirty Work', 'Midnite Cruiser' 'Reelin' in The Years' ...

I'd heard of Beck but never really listened to him. I found this album very disappointing. I couldn't get into it. It seemed very disjointed.

Great voices, nice harmonies but not my type of music.

A classic album. One of the best. It's amazing that they managed to actually record it with all that was going on.

One or two good tracks but overall pretty mediocre - 'easy listening' at best. Nothing like as good as Hotel California (the album).

Quite enjoyable with some catchy tunes, one or two 'hits'. Probably not something I'd listen to again.

I found this a strange mixture of genres. I quite liked some of it. The Deluxe Edition is crazy with 48 tracks most of them repeats. Too much!

I'd never heard of this band. The first time I listened to it I thought it was dreadful but I put it on again and it started growing on me. It was actually quite good at masking the noise of fireworks from the dog!

I didn’t know this album - apart from Last Nite but really enjoyed it especially with the volume turned up.
