1001 Albums Summary

Other than Disintegration, the only other Cure album I've really listened to is Greatest Hits, in which i held the opinion that A Forest is one of the best produced songs ever made. 17 Seconds definitely has good production, but I feel i need to listen to it several more times to fully appreciate it.

Not my cup of tea.

I'm not high enough for this

The singles are great. The album tracks are fillers

Im pretty terrible at any musical instrument despite how much I wish I wasn't. This album shows me I should stop worrying about my skill level.

This started out with promise - the first song was a nice Radio 2 pop song. The album then devolved into b-side quality before settling on some jazz jams.

Not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the music.

This was way better than I was expecting as i never really got into Britpop. I knew a couple of the singles and thought they were decent but I enjoy the album too. Coming of age songs that feel relatable and mainly hold up (as long as you ignore the reference to beepers), this album will help other people who still feel 20 years younger than they actually are to feel 20 years younger than they actually are

Dunno if it's just my age, but it's just noise to me. After a track and a half, I skipped to the one song I'd heard of to see if it might explain why the Pixies had achieved a place on this list. It gave a little redemption, but can't say I'd ever listen to this album all the way through

I love Blitzkreig Bop, but never got around to listening to any other Ramones. Think I'll just stick with Blitzkreig Bop tbh

Not for me

Not for me

Not for me

I can appreciate the talent and skill here, but it isn't for me

Good folk

Bit samey tbh, started to feel sleepy whilst listening

I can definitely hear shades of Echo and the Bunnymen and The Cure in this album. Probably wouldn't listen again as no one track truly stands out to me, but not bad.

My guess is the average XX fan sits in the corner of an independent coffee shop, reading the Bell Jar, spends his days patronising women and thinking he is superior for listening to the XX

I think id have loved this when I was 19 and full of angst and a superiority complex. Its not bad, but doesn't fit my tastes anymore.

The singles are great. The rest is pretty filler.

Welcome to the Machine is one of the best songs ever written

Not a group I've listened to before, but im guessing this is where Pale Waves got their inspiration from

Leonard Cohen really just wrote two songs and called it a day, didnt he? All the same cadence, some short, some long. No variation in tone. How he became so revered as a songwriter is beyond me
