All Ratings

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

Not being much of a jazz lover I was surprised how enjoyable it was. Will listen to more

Melodrama

Lorde

3/5

Never heard Lorde before and quite good. Will try to listen to more.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Very good. Have enjoyed Bob Marley for decades but never listened to this album

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

One of The Greatest albums

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Great album. Numerous classic songs by a wonderful singer

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

2/5

Not to my liking! Have never got on with Jimi Hendrix and have not understood why he is regarded so highly. But then other people are entitled to their opinion!

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

3/5

Tone of many tracks sounded pretty similar. Unlikely to be in my top 500 albums

Adele

4/5

A very listenable album, albeit generally pretty slow.

McCartney

Paul McCartney

5/5

Full of classic Paul McCartney sounds. An album that grows on one as it progresses

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

3/5

I enjoyed it, never consciously having heard it before.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

I have always considered this an excellent album that deserves the plaudits it has received.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Really enjoy the sound. The blend of guitars, drums and voice work really well. They leave space for imagination to work.

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Found it pretty ‘samey’ and gave up about half way. I enjoyed ‘Armed Forces’ so much more.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

2/5

Not my bag! Too unstructured for my taste.

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

I was not immediately inspired when I listened to this recently and will have to listen again to give it another chance (REM being one of my most-listened groups) If in the top 1001 Albums, it would be quite far down the list!

Damaged

Black Flag

1/5

OTT heavy metal. I didn’t last long!

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

A very pleasant surprise. I have no knowledge of Willie Nelson’s music - but definitely had preconceptions! A quiet, thought-provoking album. Very clean sounds and not overly orchestrated. An album for peaceful, reflective times.

Disintegration

The Cure

3/5

Much better than I was expecting - but would be in 2nd half of the 1001 for me I did not really appreciate The Cure at the time but the sound has improved in my mind.

Ramones

5/5

A great album! One of my Top 10

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

3/5

Just listened to early tracks. A lovely, calming sound. Will come back to this.

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

3/5

Quite listenable! However, if in the top 1001 albums, it would rank near the bottom.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

A marvelous album with variety, great riffs and its lyrics make one think while listening to it. A great album.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

Very melodic, calming album. Have thoroughly enjoyed.

Document

R.E.M.

5/5

Certainly deserves to be among the top 1001. A great mix of melody and rock.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Amazingly I have never listened to his album before - but have heard and enjoyed many of its tracks before. This makes it a genuinely great album as it contains many iconic tracks.

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

5/5

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

5/5

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain
