1001 Albums Summary

Like R.E.M but quickly get sick of his voice. Some great songs but 50 min is too long for me !

My favorite album of Radiohead, probably because its an older album.

Definitely abrasive and could not enjoy the voice nor the rhythms. Strage things was pretty good though

peculiar album, with commercials in between every song. It's hard to get into it. Would probably be better to listen to all the songs and skip the interlude onces. The song themselves are fine.

Some memorable songs like right here, right now, the rockafeller skank and praise you The rest of the album is easily forgettable 3.5

Enjoyed the voice, enjoyed the melodies. Silver Raven is probably my favourite but the album itself is good

Before starting this journey, I did not know I would enjoy Frank Sinatra but I do :) Brings you to another dimension and time and that's what you want from music

I enjoyed it and would definitely go back to it. Sounds like Steppenwolf to me. Pablo Picasso - Modern World but the album is globally good and consistent

Difficult album to rate. I don't really like the voice but really enjoyed the abrasive guitar riffs. reminded me of Les Berurier noir 3.5

Not the worst of Radiohead but apart from a song or two, I could not wait to reach the end of the album! His voice is irritating me !

Reggae and Jazzy ! Did not really enjoy the beginning or the end. That's not the music you'd expect from Edinburgh !!! Thought that Toots and Maytals were singing instead of him in some songs. I'll revisit it 3.5

On the contrary to GJS, I did enjoy the voice and the 60's vibe. Some indi vibes as well that I enjoyed. Nice discovery here.

Some nice songs like Nashville Parents but for the rest I'd say its just background music. Nothing really to remember here

Very 60's as expected. Not really my style but the album is fine.

I'd say 3 for the first album and 2 for the second. Some good material here and there but heavily diluted in the 2 hours long and quite painful albums. Happy to be done with it!

Not bad, feel like you have 5 albums in 1. Unfortunately nothing outstanding. This will remain an interesting album but forgettable.

I would qualify this album as fine but long. It's a bit like spreading a tiny amount of jam on a large piece of bread ! Better using less bread

Not bad, eclectic and with some nice vibes ! Genius of love for Mariah's Fantasy inspiration ! Will definitely revisit 3.5

Surprised myself with some foot-tapping along the album. Still not my music but it was not too bad

Did not know it and discovered that I did not need it ! Like if there was not enough of Nick Cave album

Very pleased to discover more of George Harrison. Even the jam sessions at the end are pleasant as long as you are in the right environment.

Boring !

Might like Cohen eventually ! I enjoyed this one, nice songs, lyrics and ballads

3.5 While I really enjoyed the first 2 songs, the last two were not as catchy. I'd still go back to it

mitigated opinion here, the vibe is nice but its hard to really find a mood to listen to this. I'll be happy to revisit it though

Really took me a while to made up my mind on Dr John. Hated it at first and kind of liked it on the long run. Not sure, I'd like to revisit it but why not 2.5

Quite enjoyed this one but its slightly darker than Songs of Leonard Cohen. I'd revisit it 3.5

I don't know why I always think that it's going to be hip hop !! Anyway, it's ok rock music, the rhythms are fine and the voice as well. It feels like they all sound the same and make it quite boring

Nice hip-hop I might revisit. Its still not my style but it worth existing Thought Miles was in the room for the song Jazz ! 3.5

Some rhythms are fine but most of it is painful. Don't like the voice, nor the melodies

Did not know much of The verve outside the overplayed Bittersweet thing ! Globally a good album with nice riffs. Could be confused with Oasis sometimes but no surprise on this ! Weeping pillow

Happy to never listen to this again.

Globally a good album, pleasant to listen and some nice hit in it.

It definitely belongs here but I can't really get caught into it

A voice recognizable among all others. An album of ballads, not memorable but fine and pleasant to listen as long as you are in the right mood

Falls in the category of nice background music, perfect for working as no one's singing !

Kind of entertaining after several listens. Nothing outstanding though. One of these albums that are fine but with no real soul

Quite liked the message but not the hiphop or whatever this is. Not even a single song I knew on this...

Don't like country and probably never will except when you are at Buffalo Grill ! The mandoline is probably the nicest bit of the songs

Average album. The voice is grating sometime. The major part of the album is forgettable but I kind of enjoyed it. Would revisit it in the future The light pours out of me

Was enjoying the vibe but nothing outstanding until Sex Machine started! 13.46 worthy minutes

Surprised myself with my feet moving and my hand banging with the beat ! A bit eclectic but globally pleasant to listen. Would probably not revisit though

Working space was not the right place to enjoy this album. A train back from London at 11 pm seemed much more appropriate to enjoy, the blues, the guitar and some classics. The album itself is not smooth but flows quite well

Ok to listen but boring 60's stuff. A bit of Beatles in there and I'm happy to forget about this band

Nice selection of covers !! Really got into the vibe. The voice of Otis Redding is really moving

Did not like the first half at all, while the second half reminded me of the Beverly Hills cop sounds from the mid 80's ! Hard to find the right mood to listen to this and the album is quite long 2.5

No high expectations here but it was not bad to listen. Really hard to find a mood where I'd like to play this music. 2.5

Peaceful, with different influence like Bossa Nova or middle- eastern. Always pleasant to hear her voice and other material than Son of a Preacher Man

Its a good album with good hits. It took me several listen to make my decision. 3.5

Despite several attempts, I never managed to enjoy this album

Only knew Good Feelings for having it heard in HIMYM ! Was actually happy like this. The music itself as nothing bad in it but the voice is grating and get quite painful after a while 2.5

Not a fan of punk rock, its often just noise and meaningless songs. Universal corner for its riff 2.5

To quote the song time - "Just scream with boredom" Nothing really interesting here but it's not too bad to listen. Time is actually probably my favourite song 2.5

Surprised myself in enjoying this album even though this is not my type of rap. I could probably listen to some of these songs again like "The Food"

Really tempted to give it a 4 because there's some very pleasant songs but the voice itself is quite annoying and got tired by the of the album. I don't think I'll play them again except for some songs

A nice album but quite boring sometimes when it sounds too much like the Beatles but it was the era !! My Back pages 3.5

Great year ! The album is not bad and feel like an average Oasis but somehow quite forgettable. Some nice riffs here and there and I will revisit this sometimes The concept and Alcoholiday 3.5

Not a big fan of Cohen but got pleasantly caught by this album. Could possibly be something I'd like in the future !

Never heard of them before, but nice vibe. Feeling in between Oasis and Angus and Julia Stone. Pull Together an Streets of Kenny but the entire album flows well

Some nice guitars in there but the female voice makes it sound like 90's low cost music.

Lovely voice but I still don't like Jazz, or at least not this jazz. Maybe when I grow up ! 2.5

The album was quite long but with some enjoyable beats here and there. I guess Dre's touch is what makes this album acceptable for me. Will not become an Eminem fan for sure 2.5

It's fine. A couple of interesting songs but I'll probably never go back to this again. 2.5

Never managed to like this band. Some songs are fine but for most of them I just hear noise and disturbing melodies

The first half was classic Bob Dylan (that I would not really consider pleasant to listen!) I did enjoy the second half much more as it included electric guitar and blues vibes.

3.5 Grateful dead was known for their impro on live and this album is no disappointment on that aspect. Even if I don't really know their music and this album was a bit messy, I really enjoyed the guitar vibe

I've played this album several times and feel like I'm listening to a random mix. There's no structure and every song seems to be taken out of a different album ! Quite nice to listen but can't really enjoy the album itself

Some songs are fine but the album is quite boring in its globality

This album reminded me that this type of rap is definitely not my cup of tea ! Played it twice and really struggled to finish the album both times !

Nothing unpleasant here but nothing to remember either.

Did not know the band but heard some songs before. Really enjoyed Torn Curtain

Globally enjoyed it. For not knowing Faith no more material, this was pretty interesting. Surprise! You're dead!

I usually like the 70's vibe but never managed to get into this album

Really enjoyed the first listen but got less excited wit the second one. Still some pretty nice guitar lines and vibes

Enjoyed the cool vibe and the melodies

Even if my favorite Blondie songs are on this album, the rest of it is easily forgettable and the voice can get quite unpleasant

4.5 This was very close to get a 5 ! Very nice vibe and melodies.

For Radiohead, the more recent, the more annoying is his voice !

Enjoy her voice every time a bit more. Nice ballads Help me as my favorite song and Twisted that has nothing to do with the rest of the album

Not much to say here, its abrasive, slow, intense, its Nirvana and I like it. Even if half of the songs are easily forgettable, it remains a good album that I'll keep playing.

Nothing to say here. Easily forgettable album. Reminds me a bit of radiohead but less annoying !! 2.5

Nothing bad about it, even enjoyed some songs but nothing memorable here.

Another artist I did not know. It was pleasant to listen but nothing really comes out of it. I'll be perfectly fine in listening to it again. 3.5

Not convinced by the first three songs but pleased with the rest of the album as I could get the Smiths vibe that I like

Same as the Yes album - I don't really like the album or the melodies. Did not manage to get into it after 2 listens so I gave up. 2.5

The first half was quite painful to listen while the second half provided more appreciable sounds and rhythms. Will probably not revisit this

Really consistent album with recognizable New order guitar and voice in every song. Particularly enjoyed the perfect kiss and Sunrise but the album as a whole is good

Did not like it on the first listen and started to enjoy it later on. There's some nice songs in it "The slim" for example

Did not manage to enjoy it.

I could fall asleep even if I was having Red bull in I.V.

The album is not bad. I'm not a big fan of Elton John but did not suffer with this album. I find it pretty consistent and would probably revisit it in the future. 3.5

This list will not make me like Bowie but there was some nice guitar lines and vibes in this album. I don't think I will revisit this album though. 2.5

Nice melodies and enjoyable album once you get used to the voice.

Probably avant-garde at that time and the story behind this band is interesting but I'm probably too young to enjoy it. Might revisit it one day, why not...

Always a pleasure to listen to her voice. 4.5

As U2 done anything good this century ? Had this CD in my car and never enjoyed it apart from "beautiful day"

Not the best Smiths album to me, a bit less consistent compare to the others but still good.

Not a big fan but some nice songs in here

Not the Best of the Pet Shop Boys but always pleased to listen to their music

Much better than expected. Some nice latin vibes in it too. I'd revisit it but its quite long 3.5

Probably should have stayed playing drums. My favourite song is not even on the original release tracklist Holy Man - Instrumental

Did not particularly enjoy this album Feel Flows as the highlight of these 35 min

Not the Worst of Tom Waits but I can't stand his voice and his songs. Jersey Girl was nice but I prefer Springsteen's Why in the world there are 5 albums of Tom Waits in the 1001 list !! 1.5

Cool vibes and will be revisited 3.5

Not much to say here, good stuff !! 4.5

Not convinced at first but got caught by her voice and melodies, consistant throughout the album

Globally boring. Too country for me. Could probably give it another go in the future 2.5

Pretty good album. Nothing outstanding apart from Gimme Shelter but still

You play Bob Marley in the morning and all you want to hear for the rest of the day is reggae music. 4.5

Fine to listen, nothing really to remember here

Usually not fan of the live albums but this one was really cool to listen and got thrilled by it !

Alright !!

Nothing really in this one... 2.5

Pleasant, with some hits !!! 3.5

Another Bowie.... Heroes is one of my favourite songs from him, the rest of the album is fine but forgettable.

Really hard to make a decision here. On some songs it's an enjoyable 70's vibe but (king of the world, Show biz kids) while the rest of the album feels long. Would probably revisit and might change my mind 3.5
