1001 Albums Summary

Not my thing Probably will not listen to this again

Their final album which I own on vinyl. Singles are standout tracks not their best album spoilt by the inclusion of 'Mother' which I think doesn't work and is truly awful

Not my favourite Beatles album but a few great songs In my Life Nowhere Man, Norwegian Wood Beatles always pop up in my favourites

Downward Spiral describes this album perfectly 3 tracks in and I had to turn it off, what a load of anger fuelled crap I'm sure I couldve coped not listening to it before I died lol have instructed Spotify never to assault me earholes with this again

Ray singing some jazz standards I'm already familiar with perfect for a Sunday chill who doesn't love a bit of Ray Charles

It's a chilled listen and quite pleasant favourite tracks Love the One you're With and Church prefer stuff he did with CSN will probably give it another listen

Played this to death back in the day still have vinyl Stand out tracks are Message in a Bottle Bring on the Night Beds to Big Without You Sting definitely the better songwriter

I'm sorry but I fail to see the perceived genius of Brian Wilson/Beach Boys.. One well known album does not maketh a music career.. Barnyard and Wind Chimes sounds like kids songs and would not be out of place in Sesame Street album just lacks any lyrical depth just a lot of repetition, their UK contemporaries Kinks Ray Davies and Beatles later albums The Who were so much better.. One of my all time favourite bands XTC were influenced by The Beach Boys and I love them! Andy Partridge has the intelligence wit and humour to make it work and that makes him a genius!

Ooh I'm enjoying chilling out to a bit of Otis this morning will probably add this to my library and give it another listen

I have listened to this album a few years ago she had a great voice. Most of the songs are very similar and nothing stands out but it's not unpleasant and a great album to chill out to on a Sunday morning or while working from home

No not for me Sounds like music you're forced to listen to while on hold to a Contact Centre I've got no idea what it's doing on a list of albums you need to listen to before you die???

Just no! Only track I like is Walk This Way

Ian Dury is definitely a one off! I remember his hits when I was a kid and wouldn't call myself a die hard fan but I do recognise his humour and the last track you can almost be in the pub after a few having an out of tune sing song ha ha! The thought of our friends across the pond reviewing this thinking WTH is this Billericay Dickie?? makes me smile lol

Ermm it's OK Best track is Liberty for our Friend its quite catchy

The Signature Queen sound was just starting to emerge best tracks Brighton Rock and Killer Queen worth another listen

Familiar with the hits Kids but have never listened to their albums not a bad listen to be fair after several mediocre albums and worth adding to my Spotify for future can't believe its 2007 tho

Just noise

At last! A decent album after several days of mediocrity never explored The Pretenders beyond their singles but really liking this and worth adding to favourites and will def listen again favourite tracks Private Life Brass in Pocket Stop Your Sobbing

Hippy Trippy! It's OK but nothing remarkable

Album is OK but nothing spectacular most of the songs are very similar These love songs wouldn't win me over only song I like is Layla Fine as background music while working from home
