Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

Good blues album, the discordant harmonica can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. Like where it's just a single high pitched long EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. The words and bits of music are good, but just don't like BD's voice...

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

Some solid bangers individually but felt like it didn't flow well as an album, lovely slice of 90s nostaliga though

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

1/5

Ehhhhhh. Pathological dislike of Morrisey's voice stops me enjoying the Smiths. Can appreciate there's some good guitar bits, but I just don't enjoy listening to them!

Blur

3/5

Parents played a lot of Blur when I was a kid - Song 2 always irks me a bit just cos it's a bit of a shit track IMO but there are some good ones on here before Damon Albarn climbed all the way up his own arse.

3 + 3

Feelsgoodman

Ellington at Newport

Oh god it was so long. 2+ hrs of Duke Ellington is too much. Maybe it would be fine as background noise but does it deserve to be in 1001 albums if it's only good for background noise...
