1001 Albums Summary

Amazing album, love Yellow and Sparks!

Was okay. Some good basslines but dragged on a bit after track 5 or 6

Starts weak but ends strong. Hadn't heard of this guy before but reading up on him he is super influential and you can hear it in this album!

An album of stuff that's a little bit better than the Beatles' worst stuff. Would recommend if you like early rocknroll or dowop music but other than that, give it a miss

Surprisingly pleasant

Considering how shit these guys were live when I saw them supporting The Darkness, this album actually isn't that bad

Unlistenable. Hated every second of it

Very pleasantly surprised

The second track was quite amusing

Probably the easiest 5*s I'll ever give.... Well until Revolver comes up

Dad rock and a dated sound, but quite enjoyable

One of his weakest

Solid blues album

Background music, nothing special

More fun than I was expecting

ANOTHER live album...... This was fine, I just don't like them

Tiny Dancer is a banger

Was fine, just very bland

The opening track was great! The rest was pretty dire

Snoozefest

It was fine, not sure why it was on this list tho

Very long set of albums, but inoffensive stuff. Not sure why it's Country and Western as it's blues and smooth jazz!

Better than I expected

Pretty average, dad rock

Average blues album, but Clapton's stuff was great

Was great apart from Aumgn

Perfectly listenable, very inoffensive, nothing too special but I liked the vibe

Amazing album. IMHO The Beatles' best

Nothing groundbreaking, but a decent listen

Terrible. The worst beatboxing ever followed by a song that was literally morse code did make me laugh out loud though

Surprisingly good

Lots of harmonica

Instrumentals were great, vocals were terrible. Don't even get me started on the rap!

It was... fine... Cant' Always Get What You Want and the opening track were the two best ones

Pretty funky

Can pretty safely say I am not a Stones fan. Jagger keeps singing about little girls

Terrible, everything I hate about the 80s sound

Not as bad as I was expecting

A fun listen, but nothing special

Very nostialgic for me, has some great tunes on

Was just 70s porno music

Massively influential and, Hey You, Comfortably Numb and Another Brick in the Wall pt1,2 and 3 are all incredible songs. But the album is really pretentious sounding to me other than that, no matter how many Floyd albums there are on this list, I just can't get into them!

Nice folk-ey album. Nice lyrics and I like Nick's voice a lot

Good background music

Really good dad rock

Terrible

A nostialgic album for me. Love it

Reading other reviews of this album, I was dreading it. But there are far more offensive albums on this list. It really does make you think; maybe 1001 albums is too many? This is background music, and not entirely pleasant music at that, but I have had some humdingers on this list and I managed to make it through this in one sitting so it can't have been too bad. Probably a 2.5/5, rounding to a 3 because I feel sorry for the stats on this album.

The reviews made me think that this would be terrible. I quite liked it!

Pleasant but forgettable

Chill background music, but I don't think I'd come back to it

Some bangin tunes

A crap Bowie

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would

Gave up after track 5, I don't like his voice

Lovely voice, very mellow. I won't be coming back to it though

Solid, with some real belters. I will be coming back to this album

Incredibly boring

Pure unadulterated dad-rock

I liked it, very different to their usual stadium anthems, but had some great tracks on here

So much fun! One of those albums where you wish you were in the room when they recorded it

1001 albums is too many albums

Enjoyed it a lot more than I expected, but still not quite my cup of tea

Inoffensive country music

A lot of fun, very whacky and weird. I like it a lot

Very pretentious, with a flute in the background so jarring that I had to Google if it was a parody album. Not as bad as others have made it out, but definitely a skip. Another one of the albums that makes me think 1001 is too many

I gave up by track 6. Some of the most boring music I've ever listened to

Banger after banger after banger

Quite nice background music

Loved it

It's so funny to me that this was considered hardcore punk at the time, but is really melodic to today's ear. This is a good listen, I'd recommend.

So smooth

I had a lot of fun with this one, got into it more as it went on. Definitely an album that will get a second and third listen

I understand why people like them, but at the same time find it really strange that people could think this is the greatest music ever!!

Pretty good, classic dad rock

Like bad villain music from a disney film if the voice actor had a sore throat

Music to fall asleep to. Fine, just very boring

More Beatles wannabes. Whoever compiled this list is obsessed with 60's pop-rock!

Very groovy, I normally hate RnB and rap but enjoyed this one

Decent beats, but generic rapping

Weird weird album, it's not bad but just not particularly for me

Weird that only part 3 was good enough for this list, but this was a good listen. A lot different to my usual stuff, but I am going to check out parts 1 and 2!

Jesus H Christ this album is terrible

I like this a lot. Never would have listened to Paul Simon without this list!

Whoever compiled this list loves Neil Young. I didn't mind this album though, Heart of Gold and Old Man are classics

A very solid album, and even more so with this being their first. But you can't go anywhere without hearing one of these on the radio, so it was quite tiresome. Should probably be a 5, but Sweet Child annoys the hell out of me

Another review describes this as "The Eagles of Grunge" and I can't disagree. I enjoyed the album but it's not groundbreaking or genre-defining. Solid 3.5-4/5

It's like listening to a really good support act at a gig. You will smile and nod politely, but probably won't listen to them again

My triumphant return to this list and I get this mediocre album! It's fine, but there are 100 other 60s rock bands that have the same sound as this band. Whoever made this list loves 60s psychedelia

The Bland more like

Liked this a lot, very dreamy and vibey. Even if I couldn't understand the singer!

Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would

Her voice ranges from beautiful to really bloody annoying. Some good tunes though, and you can see the influence it had on Elton John

Can imagine that this is perfect in front of the fire on a cold winter's day

I did not like this at all, but can appreciate the production value

Some fun tracks. But it's no Revolver....

Very interesting but not for me

Probably one of the easiest 5*s I can give. My first time listening to this album wall to wall, and it is one of my favourite listening experiences so far. Funny lyrics, brilliant riffs, songs just long enough for the repititions to not get annoying. The legacy this album has left behind.... All reasons to give it a 5

Fairly inoffensive, but nothing amazing. Yet another album that I can't believe is on this list!

Thoroughly enjoyed this, but can appreciate why others would hate it. This had some of the funkiest bass lines of any jazz I've listened to!

Not horrible, but incredibly dull. Definitely should not be on this list

How anyone can call this music is beyond me

Hated the opening track, but the rest was fine

I enjoyed this a lot, even if it was a little repetitive - but that's the blues baby!

5*s for Free Bird alone
