1001 Albums Summary

Not everything can be a single, easy to listen to overall though I wasn’t as huge a fan of slower tracks

i mean it’s prince it’s weird it’s fun it’s dynamic

very technically good but i may be in a bit too energetic a mood as i wasn’t gelling with anything up until boogie on reggae woman

a solid soul album but again not quite meshing with my mood, very good to walk to but not really connecting with it

didn’t get round to this on the day as i couldn’t give an album a respectable amount of space works well in the space of a relaxing gap before work but may need to relisten for it to grow on me

she really does have a distinctive voice doesn’t she. crying is funky i like it. i do seem to like funky and weird choices.

oh yes this is a fun one. longer than i expected but that’s not a bad thing with a solid theme and consistently good tracks.

not sure if i’m connecting with this one it’s just kind of washing over me.

two albums in a row where i’m like. yeah this is music. not much more.

the problem with foundational artists is the fact everything builds on them means they can seem unoriginal, really solid album though. really like chain of fools and sweet sweet baby.

she’s got a good voice but i just didn’t connect with the music at all.

don’t often get my head nodding in the first hook it’s a good sign for the rest. very good but annoyingly short, an extra couple of tracks may have ended up as padding though.

kind of a nothing album for me until literally the last three tracks which is an annoying contrast.

nice chill kind of proto-ambient album but i’m not really connecting with it all that much.

solid album all the way through but no standout tracks for me except the inevitable Good Day

he’s hwhite. not bad. but also not jamming with anything other than blue suede shoes.

kind of generic 2003 indie rock really

not connecting with it it’s again kind of generic. might be meaningful as an original influence on later music but i don’t see it.

easy listening and inoffensive but tends to dull

gets a bit of play on radio 6 so familiar with the name and a couple of tracks, solid enough but only one song i really connected with.

very solid album extremely good bass work but no specific standouts.

Solid album, I prefer a gravelly later Iggy vocal though

good rock and roll but a bit generic by age

really excellent production and a solid sound which is impressive with how stripped back it is

not a fan of the vaguely grungy vocal style

really just didn’t click at all

good set with a couple standout tracks but i’m not the biggest fan of nirvana

very solid classic rock with great vocals

good country, well paced for a trudge through a muddy park

good jazz, nothing standout but no complaints here

nice relaxing jazz but not overly complex

interesting doesn’t necessarily mean good, brian

really fun jazzy prog

i like a few strokes songs but not sure why this is on the list

funky and weird in a way i really like, consistently good the whole way through

again not offensive but interesting doesn’t necessarily mean a good record

i’m bad at distinguishing jazz but it was an easy listen just not a standout for me

nothing standout just some poppy rock i’m not gelling with

generic punk rock which doesn’t move me at all

very solid album with a mix of humour and the overtly political

i do like queens of the stone age but the fact that they've been around so long does make it sound a little generic

i maybe vibed a little but really quite generic

you can really feel the bones of blur in this which works for me when my default genre is britpop

solid album and loved the touches of brass even if there was no specific standout

queen is like taylor swift, you’d get good mileage out of a best of compilation but individual albums are swathes of nothing

a really odd mix with a country base and a kind of cinematic injection and an electronic interlude i found quite compelling

kind of a nothing album really

had me interested in the beginning but kinda dropped off later
