The money was in the back of the TV for some reason. That's saved you 50 minutes.

Great album, but Southern Harmony is my favourite of theirs. I'm hoping that's on the list too.

Tired old pub rock.

Meh

Make it stop. Please.

Rock and roll ain't noise pollution. Not this lot, anyways.

Returning to my grungy, angsty youth. Brilliant.

This was a new one to me. Will definitely be listening again

Why sing one note when you can sing fifteen?

I was a big fan of Britpop at the time and used to listen to their previous album a lot. Didn't know this one that well, however. Like all scenes, not everything from it stands the test of time. This album was pleasant enough, a couple of decent tunes but not sure what it's done to earn it's place on this list.

Better than I remember but I'd rather listen to the post-punk bands that influenced them instead.

I love Fela Kuti. I don't know this album as well as some of the others, so I was surprised this one is on the list (others to come I assume). I also love Ginger Baker's drums, so it was a treat to be reminded of this gem.

Blimey, that was hard work. Amazing voice and all, but I was glad when that was done. That sort of overblown, melodramatic nonsense leaves me cold.

I enjoyed the bad boy vibe and some of the country sounds, but it's a product of its time and just sounded a bit too close to eat listening for me

The reason punk exists

A bit of a mixed bag, this one. The high energy, funky tracks like Maybe Your Baby and Superstition (obvs!) are peerless. The slow, sentimental (You are the Sunshine..) just don't do it for me.

This is so beige I forgot I was listening to it. How is this in any sort of 'top' list? If you took all the albums ever released and sorted them by any criteria you can possibly think of, this album will miraculously always be exactly in the middle.

Used to live this album back in the day. A wonderfully crafted pop album.

I don't think I'd ever listened to this album in it's entirety before. For one of the best selling albums of all time there's an awful lot of filler. It hasn't aged well, but then I never liked Jackson to begin with either. And finally, how has he escaped getting a (thoroughly deserved) cancelling??

The highlight is a cover of Rod Stewart song and the rest of utterly forgettable.

What a load of pompous, bloated old guff.

I only knew their big hit, despite this being my era. Started off thinking this was better than I was expecting but the album is too long and I was willing it to end eventually. Too flabby without strong enough songs to get away with that.

Lightweight dance music with the world's most annoying vocals.

It's AC/DC, you know what you're getting.

-1 for bleeping the rude words.

Hearing White Winter Hymnal always inexplicably sends me into a psychopathic rage. It's probably for the best this isn't currently on Spotify. Legalise fox hunting again I say.

I understand this album's significance, but just doesn't really do it for me after 21st century schizoid man.

Already one of my favourite albums of all time. Brilliant.

I'd never even heard of this album before today. I understand the criticism of cultural appropriation, and that makes this album tricky. Having said that, it has some bangers on it and I'll be listening to this more.

Listening to this album now for the first time in years, it strikes me how average it is. I think there are Jam albums that deserve to be in this list, but not this one. It's an example of the overrepresentation of 90s UK indie rock that so many folks keep complaining about.

Several years ago some friends and I went to a festival that happened to have The Eagles on the bill. We felt obligated to go see the legendary band simply because it would likely be the only opportunity we'd ever have to do so. They opened with Hotel California and we listened. Once the song finished we all looked at each other and, knowing the set had already peaked, we walked off to watch something interesting. That same feeling came flooding back whilst listening to this album. What a turgid pile of shit. I believe it was the great thinker of the end of the last century, Jeffery 'the dude' Lebowski who said it most eloquently: "I hate the fucking Eagles, man". Quite.

That's a lot of filler for an album that is supposedly one of Clapton's best. Highlight (apart from the obvious) was Bell Bottom Blues, but it's a low bar. And nobody asked for that Little Wing cover. Eugh. As racists go, I think there are 21st century racists are producing more interesting music than the 1970s racists did.

Indie classic

The songwriting and arrangements on this album are brilliant but the violence, misogyny and homophobia made it a hard listen. I don't think this album has aged well, it's frankly, quite juvenile. Before we get into a discussion about the character in the songs is not the same person as the artist, or these are just stories or whatever, there's no nuance or teaching moment here, it's just violence.

So this was a demo that the artist didn't plan on releasing? Figures. I wonder what this album could have been with some serious editing.

When this came up, I thought it would be fun to listen to this again for the first time in years. You know, in a cheesy, ironic way of course. But nope, that was draining and painful. What a load of overblown nonsense. Music for people that don't like music.

At the time The White Stripes felt like a breath of fresh air - a stripped-back, old school garage rock band hitting the mainstream. They're still a good listen, but with a bit of hindsight, maybe didn't deserve all the hype they got.

Making me listen to Hotel California was bad enough, but making me listen to a second one? Eurgh. I fucking hate The Eagles, man.

He might be a prize arsehole, but this is still a glorious album.

The money was in the back of the TV for some reason. That's saved you 50 minutes.

This album seemed like a staple in the 90s for anyone into rock or metal but listening again now all I can think is, meh.

I knew Skunk Anansie from their first couple of singles in the mid-nineties but hadn't really followed them. From the moment of being punched in the face by the opening track, though, I was in. Not what I was expecting and a really pleasurable surprise. It felt like Skin had finally got the music behind her that her vocals and attitude deserve. Will be checking out more.

If Oasis had buggered off after two albums, we'd all remember them as a great little indie band that put guitars back in the charts for a bit. However, now all I see are just ape-like, gobby, money grabbing hacks worth so little self-awareness it's painful to watch.

I always preferred the White Album to Sgt. Pepper. There is a chaotic beauty to it which I find more attractive than its highly polished predecessor. Some people say it would have been a better album if you removed the weaker tracks like Wild Honey Pie, but I think they add to it's charm. There's something raw and vulnerable in the imperfections. The only exception to that sentiment are the drums on Walk A Thin Line, which are an abomination and against all things that are good and holy in this world.

Just like his other albums on this list, I love the up tempo, funky numbers. The slow, soulful ones leave me cold for some reason. I want to like them. I mean, it's Stevie Wonder! But I just don't, so whole albums of his just become a bit of a slog.

I dunno, maybe this got folk's heart racing in the 50s, but it just leaves me cold. I can't fault it, but it just does nothing for me.

What a load of pompous, overblown nonsense.

I didn't really know any of the tracks from this album. Some nice jangly pop folk in there but it started to get a tiresome towards the end. Some of the tracks in the second side were really, really hard work.

Yay, another album from the Southern rock-elevator music sub-genre. It's only Young's grating vocals that keep reminding me I'm currently listening to anything at all.

Banger. I forgot how good this album was.

Bombastic, overblown iPod filling nonsense. One-trick pony guitar, and Bono. God please, can we have less Bono in the world.

Banger, obvs and the first CD I ever bought, back in the mists of time. Some underrated classics on this one, like Tangerine and Since I've Been Loving You.

It has the ingredients but somehow just doesn't hit the spot. Inoffensive.

I could never decide whether Slade were just a novelty band that most of us would never had heard of if it weren't for *that* Christmas song. I struggle to take them seriously.

There's something interesting about songs that were ubiquitous when growing up: they become part of your background environment that you hardly notice. That's what it felt like listening to this now: massive chart hits that do so little for me that all I can do is shrug. Plus the second half of the album is mostly filler. Oh, and he was also a nonce.

I've never really seen the appeal of T Rex. The songwriting half the time (like Get it On, Hot Love) is pretty lazy and uninspiring 12-bar stuff with equally lazy lyrics. The rest of the time I can't get past Bolan's vocals. Songs like Cosmic Dancer are plain silly but there doesn't seem to be any irony in the delivery which just makes it annoying.
