3/5
Decent album, not in a rush to listen to it again. Born To Run was probably the standout track sadly.

Enjoyed this so much I listened to it twice

3/5
Enjoyed it but can't say I'm likely to listen to it again

Realistically I'm not going back to it, it was quite nice background noise while I'm working though
Emmylou Harris
2/5
It's nice enough but realistically I'm not going to listen to it again

I enjoyed it but I can't see myself going back to it much (if at all) as I'm not too fussed about the songs that aren't singles.
Stereo MC's
2/5
It’s not bad by any means but realistically I’m never going to go back to it

2/5
It was alright but I'm not going to listen to it again

3/5
It was alright, I think it was about the same as Born To Run but I don't think I'll rush to listen to it again

5/5
One of my all time favourite albums
Beck
3/5
It was alright but kind of faded into the background, I wouldn't be against listening to it again but I doubt I'll go out of my way to
Willie Nelson
3/5
Nice enough for what it is, although I doubt I'd go back to it it's a solid country album
Red Hot Chili Peppers
1/5
Such a long album, I was indifferent to most of it, wouldn't go back to it bar 'Under The Bridge'
The Style Council
2/5
It's not a bad album by any means but it's carried by 'You're The Best Thing', can't see myself going back to it.
Portishead
3/5
Nice enough album, wouldn't be against listening to it again
Joy Division
2/5

5/5
One of my favourite albums, love it
Manu Chao
2/5
Not for me, it was fine but I don't think I'd choose to listen to it again

The Stone Roses
5/5
Somehow never listened to this album before and had a load of songs on that I never knew were by The Stone Roses. This is a banger.
Beastie Boys
1/5
They have the odd good tunes but yet another entire album is too much, meh
George Jones
2/5
It's ok
B.B. King
3/5
Decent, I doubt I'll go out of my way to listen to it as it's a live album but there's no doubting he was incredibly talented

It was alright, don't understand why my brother raves about them so much
Beck

2/5
Nowhere near as good as Pet Sounds but still not bad
Kendrick Lamar

Not really for me
Waylon Jennings
2/5
Better than I was expecting it to be but not sure that I'd go back to it again

Van Morrison
3/5
This is decent but I'm not sure I'll really go back to it

The Chemical Brothers
1/5
Not for me at all, was waiting for it to end
Hole

Method Man
3/5
Not listened to this before but I enjoyed it more than I expected to
Elton John
3/5
Could probably have cut half of this out, it was alright overall but I'm just not fussed for Elton
Laibach
2/5
It's better than I was expecting but I can't say I'll go back to it again. I was actually surprised to recognise a song from it (the title track)
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
1/5
Not for me at all, gave it a few more songs but I hated it from the very start.
Louis Prima
4/5
Think I'd have never listened to this if it wasn't for this project. Actually really enjoyed it.
LCD Soundsystem
2/5
I think they're brilliant live but I just can't get into them recorded
Funkadelic
3/5
A decent listen, I'm not sure how likely I would be to go back to it as the whole thing doesn't appear to be on Spotify.
a-ha
5/5

4/5
Enjoyed this more than I expected to, to the extent I'd probably listen to this again.

5/5
Brilliant album, brilliant duo, loved it
Ali Farka Touré
3/5
A pleasant listen but I'm not sure I'd really go back to it again.
Pink Floyd
2/5
Thought I must have been listening to a different album than everyone else. Really didn't rate it, didn't think it was anywhere near as good as people had made out and I doubt I'd go back to it.
The Pretty Things
3/5
Never heard of this before. Overall a pretty good album. Will I go back to it? I'm unsure, but it was a decent listen.
Elvis Presley
2/5
It's alright, I'm not sure I'd listen to it again. Something really irks me about his voice.
The Who
1/5
Van Halen
2/5
I expected to enjoy this much more than I did, it just didn't really do anything for me. I doubt I'd go out of my way to listen to this again.
Peter Gabriel
3/5
Pleasant enough but can't say I'm all that fussed about it - it's a shame that Solsbury Hill is miles better than pretty much everything else on the album as that's the only one I already knew!
The Monks
2/5
Can't say I'm a fan, and the fact it's only really on Youtube means I absolutely won't listen to it again
Stevie Wonder
3/5
I thought I'd enjoy this more than I did, it was nice enough
The Isley Brothers
3/5
Didn't expect to recognise any songs but recognised way more than I thought. Decent enough.

2/5
It was fine but basically a nothing album.
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
Somehow haven't listened to this entire album before but there wasn't a bad song on it.
Ray Charles
3/5
A nice listen, quite samey but enjoyable
De La Soul
5/5
Not sure I've ever listened to them before and I didn't know what to expect. I seriously enjoyed this and am looking forwards to checking out more.
Guided By Voices
1/5
Already didn't rate it but questionable lyrics brings this down to a 1
Parliament
3/5
Never heard it before, it's funky, I quite like it. Not sure how often I'd listen to it but it was a fun listen.
The The
3/5
It was a new one for me, I enjoyed it but not sure how much I'd go back to it
Black Sabbath
5/5
Banging album, Ozzy is a serious loss
GZA
4/5
Haven't listened to this before and enjoyed it more than expected, would probably listen to it again
Fats Domino
2/5
It was ok
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
4/5
Didn't know what to expect with this one but I really enjoyed this! Really nice varied album.
The Vines
2/5
Outside of the one big hit on there it's a really underwhelming album. I'm sure it was great in 2002 but I don't think I needed to listen to it now, it was fine.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
Liked this more than I expected considering I don't usually like Nick Cave's music. I'm not sure how likely I am to go back to it again but this surprised me.
Bonnie Raitt
2/5
Never heard this before but it's such a 'nothing' album that I can't believe it made it onto this list. It isn't horrendous is the only nice thing I can really say.
Frank Ocean
3/5
Quite enjoyed this
Black Flag
4/5
Overall quite enjoyed it, solid album
Bob Dylan
3/5
Nice enough listen, not sure how likely I am to go back to it but I wouldn't complain
Kid Rock
1/5
David Gray
3/5
It was nice enough, can't say I'd choose to listen to it again but I wouldn't switch it off
Fatboy Slim
1/5
There are (obviously) a couple of big tunes on here but the rest is so much filler. Wouldn't go back to the full album again by any means.
Hole
4/5
I enjoyed this, do we really need two Hole albums on the list of 1001 albums you must listen to before you die? Probably not, but there are some serious bangers on this one.
Prince
3/5
Decent, not sure how likely I am to listen to the album from start to finish again though
Circle Jerks
3/5
It was fine enough, I don't really have any strong opinions on it
Stan Getz
2/5
It's alright, don't think I'll go back to it
John Grant
3/5
Never heard any of this before, enjoyed most of it, but some questionable lyrics and the odd awful song prevented me from giving it a higher score than 3 stars.
John Cale
2/5
It was alright but I'm not fussed about listening to it again
Paul McCartney and Wings
3/5
Enjoyed this more than I expected to but overall I'm not particularly bothered.
Wu-Tang Clan
4/5
Enjoyed this way more than I expected, seriously good
David Bowie
2/5
I expected to enjoy this more than I did, but the only real banger is Jean Genie
TV On The Radio
2/5
This just didn't do anything for me. I know people rave about them but I didn't get it.
Radiohead
3/5
Decent, enjoyed it more than I expected. I just don't think I'll listen to it again.
U2
2/5
Inoffensive but incredibly dull
Elvis Presley
2/5
Can't deny he had a good voice but the music overall isn't really for me, doubt I'd deliberately listen to it again
Alanis Morissette
3/5
Really didn't care for this as much as I thought I would. Not sure I'd go back to the full album but probably would for the odd tracks.
Brian Eno
3/5
This wasn't at all what I was expecting considering the other music by Brian Eno I've listened to. It was alright, but I don't think I'd rush back to it.
Rahul Dev Burman
3/5
A fun listen that's completely new to me. I'm not sure I'd go back to it but I did enjoy it.
Jamiroquai
2/5
Wasn't sure what to expect from this as I can't say I've ever gone out of my way to listen to much Jamiroquai. It was better than I expected but a bit too long by the end of disc 1 (I didn't bother with disc 2)
Deep Purple
3/5
Don't think I'll listen to it again. It's literally fine.
Frank Zappa
1/5
Didn't enjoy this at all tbh
Beatles
3/5
Pretty decent.
Metallica
2/5
I don't mind Metallica that much but I didn't really care for this.
Goldfrapp
2/5
It was a nice enough listen but ultimately didn't really do anything for me.
Tom Waits
1/5
I knew I wouldn't like this album, I can't get on board with Tom Waits, but I thought it was only fair that I gave it a fair shot.
I was right. I didn't like this album. Terrible.
Raekwon
3/5
It's decent enough but overall just too long for me to fully enjoy. There are some bits I'd happily go back to though.
The Smiths
2/5
Pretty dull to be honest.
The Teardrop Explodes
3/5
Never heard of them before or heard this album but it was decent.
Michael Jackson
3/5
It wasn't as great as I was expecting it to be, still a decent album.
The Smiths
3/5
Never really got into The Smiths, it was a decent enough album but I don't think I'll rush back to it
Doves
3/5
It was a nice enough album but I didn't think 'this is an absolute must listen' while I was listening to it.
Public Enemy
2/5
It was alright but just not for me. I can't see myself going back to it.
Michael Kiwanuka
3/5
It was a nice enough album, I'm not sure if I'd go back to it again. But a pleasant enough listen.
The Kinks
2/5
It was fine, nothing mind-blowing but a decent enough listen. Probably won't go back to it.

2/5
Wanted to enjoy this more as they are really good live, but the album just didn't really do anything for me
Primal Scream
1/5
Found it incredibly dull
10cc
2/5
It wasn't bad by any means but it didn't really do anything for me.
