1001 Albums Summary

Loads of recognisable songs, for some reason I haven't listened to this all the way through before. It is awesome, love the variation between tracks. Do feel it tails off a bit towards the end and could have had a couple cut

What a band, shame morrissey is a prick. Prefer the queen is dead

The good tracks are so good it brings up the rating, bit of filler but overall a great album

Down to the waterline a great opener. Southband again and sultans of swing are both great but beyond that extremely mid. Absolutely love the dire straits guitar tone

Properly hate this, a chore to get through

One of the best metal albums ever. Easy full marks

Sounds like it was just improvised jazz jam sessions. Long and definitely won't revisit

Quite liked the first song but the rest I found boring, not my kind of thing

I like Paul Simon, I liked the opener and I liked some other bits, but graceland is way better

Sweet emotion is a classic, walk this way needs run dmc (I'm sick of that song anyway), big 10 inch record was kinda fun. All it does is add substance to my point that Aerosmith are a greatest hits band. Bland

I like it, very scifi and sounds a lot more recent than the date it was released

Some cool tracks on here, have never heard of the band before. Listened to the deluxe version and all the added tracks felt unnecessary. Goiny by original track list it's a solid 3, nearly 4

Solid album but a few too many slow tracks for me. Led zep 4 is way better

Elavator/hold music

Not my kind of thing. Wasn't bad but wouldn't go back to it

Really like this, one of my all time favourite bands

It good but I definitely won't listen again, not for me

Even the band sounded bored. 2 okay songs

It's very generic blues. There's a couple of songs that would be fun in a bar but too many guitar solos which aren't interesting Also, clapton is a prick

Better at that star but decent

Front loaded. Good nonetheless

Not a fan of this I'm afraid. Usually like this kind of music but this doesn't do much for me. Couple of decent tracks but not something I'd revisit

Enjoyed this but one song was annoying

Stunning album

Classic rock doesn't get any better

Over rated

Solid

Unfortunately found it dragged towards the end, musically good fun

So many bangers, must be played at full volume

Love our Amy

Jazz ain't for me

Lot of fun, did peak with the first song

Really get nothing out of this, he has better stuff

Rush of blood is better

Not enough energy for me

Quite a long way from their best. Heard it beffr and didn't like it, still dont

Liked the storytelling

Really quite dull, never thought of them as an album band

Banger after banger

Good start, gets boring

Really really not for me

Close to a 3

Pretty alright. Bit samey

Bit bland

Bit bland

Bit boring

Bit bland

Banger after banger

This is so good from someone who doesn't love hip hop that much. If it weren't for the skits and a couple of tracks that could've been cut this would be a 5. Shakey dog and the champ both incredible tracks and I'll definitely revisit this album

Can't wait to see them live

Couple of nice bits but overall boring

What a voice

Feels weird giving Bowie a 2

Only like the hits

So incredibly bad

Love some bruce

Mainly pointless filler tracks

Hate country

Proper shite

Delightful

Massive prick, great album

Best Bruce I've heard

Had to listen on YouTube. Grow up and put your album on Spotify like everyone else

Nice hearing the songs from Queen that weren't the big hits which have been horribly overplayed

Kind of enjoyed the storytelling in the songs

Too long

Made of stone and this is the one are my clear favourites. Enjoyed this more than I remember when I last listened

This guy has a billion albums, bet they all sound like this

Starts really well but definitely falls off

Found this very boring and at points irritating. Not bad enough for a 1 but only scraping a 2

If bob Dylan and Sam fender were good

Yikes

Much better than that terrible concept album

Really dragged towards the end but some really good bits in the middle

I see this as the best queen album, where they went quite weird

Always felt like I'm missing something when I listen to this

Horny album this

The bends is better

We had it all at the end was nice

Never really liked pavement, as an album it’s okay but loses me for a bit. Good album closer

Bit boring isn't it

Just weird

It’s ambient so it’s never getting a high score, works as background music I suppose

Okay this is really good. Definitely going to come back to this one

It's sooo long

Proper dance music

170 albums in, this is the first one I've given a 5 that I'd never heard before. From the opener all the way through to the end it's hard, chaotic, passionate, brilliant

It's long but great the whole way through

Kind of liked the first half but good god it got real bad and dragged at the end

Some toe tapping swing, love it

This was way too long, some really great bits in it but needed 30 minutes cut

Some super funky parts to this but I do feel like the songs are a touch long at times and they need a few more ideas to keep me interested

Groovy

Enjoyed parts of this but other bits kind of annoying

Really not my thing

An insanely incredible album

Weird band patter and I simply don’t like their songs

One of the best guitar albums of all time

Mad, theatrical, brilliant

Can't believe I had to load up YouTube to listen to this

Far from his best imo

Delightful

I liked the songs but what was with the lengthy elevator music interludes

Who doesn’t love some smooth big band country jazz

Funny album, feel like on a few listens I may upgrade to a 4 but on first attempt it’s a 3

Really weird album, loads of extremely short songs that largely sound unfinished

Funky people

Pretty good but some songs dragged

RIP ozzy

Groovy and smooth

It's salsa, I likes the trumpets

Some really great sections in songs but a lot of forgettable parts. Did like the closer 1969

Just unreal

Great vocals, didn't love the music but it was good enough

Used to hate this, has grown on me but some songs could definitely be cut near the end

Quite fun at the start but it seemed to get progressively worse as it went on

For a boby Dylan album I enjoyed this. Was leaning towards a 4 but there were a few bits where I was a bit bored

Truly dreadful. My life was better before being subjected to this album

Stunning

Another great hole album. Never paid attention to this band until doing this list

There's some great tracks on this but a lot just felt a couple of minutes too long, kept flipping between 3 and 4 but settled with 3 during all the critics

Went to see these guys play this album in full ata show but missed the whole thing queueing at the bar

It's a jazz album I'd struggle to distinguish from thousands of other jazz albums

Absolutely loved the variation and the song writing is excellent. Feels like a very love it or hate it record, 5 from me

It's certainly an album

Knew how to write a song

Hip hop has never been so good

Are there too many Bowie albums on this list, yes. Do I think this one should be on here, also yes

Definitely not their best but there are some great songs on here

Their best album

Very much a singles band from what I’ve heard

Dude could sing tbf

So many bangers on one album

Weird doesn’t always mean good

Probably not the best soundtrack for the gym

Wish some of the songs were shorter, could’ve been a 4

Child in time one of the best songs ever written

I think I need to be on drugs for this

Possibly my favourite Beatles album

If it weren’t for the pointless instrumental I’d give this a 5. One of my favourite Metallica records

Went my whole life thinking goldfrapp were a pop duo. They are in fact this nonsense

Quite a few songs sounded like someone was randomly hitting bins

18 songs is too many songs. There’s a lot on here that should have been left on the cutting room floor. There’s were instances where I liked what I heard but they felt fleeting. Shame

Starts really well but the last 2-3 songs are pretty pointless. Sadly brings it down a point

Well that was forgettable

They make it sound so effortless

Not even his best album. No one has ever or ever will come close to the king of pop

Some serious bangers on this. Been a long time since I heard it and was assuming I’d give it a straight 5 but not quite as good as I remembered

Didn’t mind some bits but it did feel like a somehow worse elbow at parts

Angry album this one

Pretty good, will I listen again? Probably not

Really felt like this album was never going to end. Took me 2 days to complete it

Sitting at home in the middle of the day probably isn’t the desired environment for an album like this. I love underworld, think they are one of the best electronic live acts going but I don’t really enjoy listening to dance music outside of a gig environment. A generous 3

Discovered today that I don’t like the kinks

This isn’t for me, was bored throughout

Bit shit innit

Had no idea 10cc were so proggy

A slog

Incredible vocal performance throughout and the songs are pretty good too. Well earned 4

Really enjoyed this, knew the hits and thought the filler was all pretty nice

Mad how 4 songs that go on for 45 minutes keeps me interested throughout. Some huge sound on this and sounds quite far ahead of its time

Loved reading about this guy, sounds insane. Great music though, I love the 80s

Enjoyable

I am not sure what this vocal style is but I never want to hear it again

One belter of a song, the rest not so much

Some really good bits in the album ruined by a bit of nonsense

Absolute shite made even worse by the final song oh yoko

Very good, started slow but grew into it

A very annoying album

Found this pretty tiresome

Not what I was expecting, maybe sound better on lsd but enjoyed regardless

Took me nearly 4 months to finish this one, what a slog. The 6th disc was completely unnecessary

Some really cool bits but a load of shite on here. Just squeezes a 3

Better than their other material for me. Still not mind blowing

Not as bad as I was expecting

Hate it

Better than expected, had boring moments

Thought these were a soul band

Very good

Absolutely class, shame he was a prick

Pretentious innit

Idk who this is and I don’t like it

Grew into it

Enjoyed this quite a lot, never heard of them before

Heavy

Really great throughout

Besides the hits this really didn’t do that much for me

Very good, should’ve watched this guy at glasto instead of the howler of a performance by charli xcx

Indian sunset such a great song

Certainly was electronic music

Very nice indeed

Today I found out where the jackass theme tune came from

I just don’t like this kind of music. Gets a point for the recognisable songs

Very very average

Forgot I saw these live until this listen

Very cool. Especially like the slayer riff

Dragged

Closing your eyes and pretending you’re sat in a courtyard in south France drinking bottles of red on a warm clear night really adds to the experience

Sorry lads but there’s a lot of tracks here that shouldn’t have made the album. When it’s good it’s great

Recognisable hits on here

A rarely enjoyable police album

So overplayed but it is brilliant

Love a bit of steely

Sounds like someone pissing around on a keyboard

So boring

Started really well but died out quite a lot

Tunes

What a prick

Found this to be largely quite irritating

Pretty generic blues, really didn’t blow me away

Absolutely mental. There was a bit around half way through where it resembled music. Not a good album but glad it was included on this list

Nice background music

Surprised to know so many of these songs

Remember it being better. Still great

This one didn’t need to be on here

I don’t get it

Don’t think you can claim to like music if you don’t like this absolute classic. Some of the best guitar work ever recorded

Why have I never listened to this in full before. Completely brilliant

Loading screen music

I love deep purple but I don’t think live albums belong on this list. Space truckin went on way way too long. Being there I’m sure it was great but it doesn’t translate on record

I like some Radiohead albums, I don’t like this one

Pretty weird, kinda dig it

Never saw myself enjoying a snoop dogg album

It was very 90s

Good at points, boring at others

Truly terrible

Really liked the las track, wasn’t massively won over throughout

Really not my kind of music, found it really boring. Better than 1 star though

Love Peter Gabriel. Couple of tracks not great so just shy of a 5

Quite a few hits on this one

Sorry Alice but this wasn’t great

Might be their best

Pretty mid

Pretty good singer

If anyone ever needs to torture me for information just make me listen to this album again. I’ll break immediately

Got time for simz

Very easy 5. Back to back hits

This was so long

This one ain’t it

Loved the background of this album. Cool representation of loads of types of world music

Acdc found a sound and stuck with it

Nice enough, thought it was Dolly Parton. Wouldn’t listen again

The cover of imagine really threw me off

Bruce at his very best. He should tour the album

Some nice tracks on this, particularly busy being blue

Always found his vocals very odd. Was alright as an album

A couple of bits were okay I suppose

Just bangers

He certainly rambles. Hated it x

Couple of great songs, couple of trash ones

Great banter, nice tunes

Should probably leave this guy loretta

Average

Really interesting album, some bits unnecessary but when good it really goes off

Fun album

Got excited by one of the songs but checked and saw the album was over and it went into similar artists, that was better

Not my favourite Kate bush album I’m afraid

Thought everyone hated this album

Very enjoyable

She was an hour late when I saw her and had to cut like a prayer. Anyway this album was mid

Must have made so much money from royalties. Basically every song on this is the version that I know through movies, retail stores, tv specials, etc. apparently this guy murdered someone

Sexy music

The orchestral arrangements in this are fantastic

First time I’ve given supertramp a proper listen and I’ve been missing out

About time I listened to this in full, never will again. Horrendous, absolutely baffled how it’s popular

Is it over yet

I don’t respect anyone’s musical opinion if they give this anything less than a 5

It’s just not my thing and that’s fine

How have I never heard of her before, superb

Quite short, didn’t realise it ended and started playing other artists. Pretty good though

Very surprised to not absolutely hate this, some nice background music

As someone who loves heavy music it’s a pretty easy 5

I think I just hate everything Brian eno has involvement with

Would be a 5 if not for the annoying skits

Agree with the guy who hooked up at a Halloween party with an Asian girl dressed as a cat, this album sucks. This music only suits 5am in a field with a light show

Horrible average blues, a terrible version of little wing and spent the entire album waiting for Layla

Didn’t mind it, probably won’t listen to it again and not sure it belongs on a list like this

I just don’t get it

Damn this goes so hard to start, unfortunately does fall off but it’s a strong 4 for the first 7 songs

It’s just so damn smooth

Great at the start and end, but if a lull in the middle. Don’t really care for stones albums, singles are usually top quality

Bit boring isn’t it

It’s impressive but I won’t return to it

It’s the best I’ve heard from them but I still don’t particularly like it

So good, game changer for metal

Remember that bbc show life on mars? Was class that. Might rewatch it

So many massive tunes on this, especially assassin and knights

Even when this band was supposedly good they sucked

Very surprised to see this included, great album but their second one is better

Genre defining and the first album I ever got, still know all the words

Call me basic but I prefer American idiot

Trails off a bit at the end but this is still when they were good

Blues 101

Funny how epic is the worst song on this album. Loads of bangers, war pigs cover not needed

Hot chip have always been one I felt like I should give some time so glad this came up, lovely listen

Think I enjoyed this more since it’s sunny for the first time this year while I listen. Bet it sucks in winter

Say this for most stones album, it was too long

One hit wonder for a reason

Skits stopped the 5

All 5 songs absolutely ridiculously good

Funky dancey but kinda long

Thiught my headphones died during fame throwa. Kind of wish they did

Nice but pretty dull

Nice guitar tone

Don’t usually care for industrial metal but this was cool

When an album has this many songs they either all need to be decent or it needs some monster hits, this hit neither of those criteria

69 love songs is way too fucking many. This should’ve ended at like 10. A properly painful listen

A pleasant listen for sure

The fuck was the last track about

Not my jam

Just thought this was weird, not for me

Felt just like another hip hop album, nothing special. Liked it’s a man’s world the best

Funky as hell at the start, bit of a slump in the middle but pretty solid

Felt like a wannabe a lot of different artists

Did a good job of making me go to sleep during a 13 hour flight

It’s a generous 3 as I like the chem bros as a live act, not usually the kind of thing I listen to at home

Watch your step an absolute banger

It’s a forgettable punk album

This was too long, should’ve cut half the songs

Hasn’t aged amazingly

Better with lasers

No idea why this is on the list, annoying vocals and badly written songs. Not surprising I had never heard of them before this

Well that was generic

Never heard of him but dig this

Some interesting use of slurs in this… actually didn’t mind it musically though

I am the target audience for this

I liked the 2nd song. Everything else an absolute drag. Japan is a great country though

I want to go clubbing in the 90s

Probably enjoyed more with scotch and a cigar

Love the production

Some really nice tracks, was only familiar with the big one at the start

Ridiculous amount of massive hits, easy 5

Amazed how good this was, what a voice even if he is a bit of a prick

Great but should a greatest hits be on here?

Some tunes some absolute dross

Not his best imo

Impressively bad

Good voice tbf

Groovy

Felt like a lot could’ve been cut

It sure is a punk album

So smooth and damn sexy. Need to hear this on vinyl in an expensive apartment

It’s fine

Couldn’t wait for this to finish

If I was a racist who was planning to marry my sister I think I would love this

Got bored quite quickly

Scentless apprectice is a very under rated nirvana track

I like prog

Thought this was kiss for quite a lot of the album
