15/16 year old me (1975/76), this must have been the first Led Zep album I listened to with friends of the same ilk. Tastes change over the years and I moved away from this genre. It was good to listen to the full album again and give it the time it deserves to listen to completely back to back.
Favourite tracks: The Battle of Evermore. Misty Mountain Hop. When the Levee Breaks.
Prefer side 2.
This deserves to go in.
Playing in prisons feels innovative and creative so hats off for this.
Not a Johnny Cash fan, not a country and western fan, not a live album fan. Listened to the whole album to give it a chance. Mercifully it was just 30 minutes.
Its a no from me.
I've never really listened to Portsihead before, now I know why.
Can't say I found this one overly enjoyable. None of the tracks jumped out for me.
Nah... all noise. Some things are timeless, this is plain dated.
Not my cup of tea.
Every track a banger!
Such a classic album.
Okay as background music I guess, whilst getting ready for the day. And not too loud. Preferably on mute....
Yeah, was ok. Has a nice voice.
Wouldn't say it was the best album they produced.
Not bad as background music, the further back the better.
Ugg... thats two Bob Dylan albums in the same week.
His voice grates on me.
Listened to first disc, couldn't face the second one.
From the limp half baked attempt at reggae on the starting track, Paul Simon tries to give a wordy sophistication that fails the longer it goes on. As for 'me and Julio', mediocre tune to mysterious words, what was he thinking, trying to be a second hand Bob Dylan, pathetic. Desperately trying to prove he is more than just half a famous duo, this sounds uninspired and toe curling embarrassing.
Like a book that promises intrigue and delivers endless filler.
If you have this on vinyl kindly scratch so that no one is subjected to this mess.
As for the picture on the album... ugg, just burn it. Should have been number 1002 out of 1001 albums.
Early David Bowie, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Listened to one track, that was enough.
WTF, 1001 greatest albums?
No stars if I could
Never was a fan. Still not.
Would rather listen to chalk on a blackboard.
I liked this one.
Just wondering what happens after 1001 albums, does the app self destruct?
Who chooses these albums?
Took me back a few years.
Rock bottom by name, rock bottom by nature.
Never heard such rubbish.
Who chooses this shite.
Was the cover picked from a school prize draw... of 3 year olds.
This is what I signed up for, some tunes that really mean something. I have never listened to Leonard Cohan before, heard the name, so this intro has got me wanting more. Not like some of the shite offerings that make its way on here.
I wouldn't choose to listen to this album, but it wasn't bad. Not like some of the offerings which can be head-banging nonsense.
It was ok, not something I would have chosen, but thats the point of being here.
This was nice to listen to.
I've never heard of them. Back in 1997 when this was released I was stuck in a relationship, but had two wonderful children. Around that time me and my partner started fucking again, like rabbits, fuck knows what was going on, maybe they were on a guilt trip or something, but we ended up having a third child in 98. Before this I wasn't sure what to do, 'either' I was going to leave, 'or' I was going to fuck my way out. So the question was: either/or? I never knew other people also had this on their minds, let alone call an album by the name. Anyways, I looked for the track of the same name for clues as to my destiny in the lyrics, but there is none, so thats it, I had to listen to the whole album. I left the mad fucking ahole five years later when I could take it no longer. Maybe around the time Elliot took their life, sad face. There is always sad shit behind the stories of people that decide that they either stay, or go. Sometimes tragically, where people run out of options. RIP Elliott Smith, and all those gone too soon.
I found the lyrics on the last track, say yes. Back when this was released, I was an alcoholic, and would always say yes to another drink, but always felt like shit the morning after. The situation was fucked up. I loved the way Elliott cleared his throat at the beginning of this track, a human. I listened to this album three times. Thank you for your contribution to this sorry arsed planet that humans are trying their hardest to fuck up. There is still delight to be had.
Best songs; Punch & Judy, 2:45am, Say Yes. Fucking awesome album.
•••••
Can't get too excited over this one. The cover is a nice deep red on black to catch the eye. Nothing really caught my ears though. I had a mate back in the mists of time who would listen to a lot of Steely Dan, who the fuck is Dan and why is he so steely? I never saw the point of them, a bland continuous stream of same-ish strumming droll. Shopping centre music.
And where are they now? Hah!, See, I said they would never last.
Just in (see what I did there!) case you didn't know who it is, his name is in the lyrics of the first three tracks (the third Mr JT). Never been my cup of tea.
2002 was the time I was getting sober, I don't think I took much notice of anything else around that time, so Mr JT passed me by, sounds like a good thing. He did a ft thing on HoLy GrAiL with Jay-Z which I thought was ok at the time, but that is really dated. In fact, I think Mr JT is dated and he hasn't really stood the test of time.
agggghhhhh..... get me outa here
18 tracks. Not really into soul, funk, or whatever, but yeah, there are some classic hits on here.
Feels like a bit of a cheat with Pts1, Prts 2, single versions, mixes... so I had to lift and drop the needle to skip the repetition.
Why the interviews at the end, you wouldn't do that on vinyl.
In 1973 I was too much into glam rock for these to come onto my radar.
This was very much 'my era'. However I was only pretending to like them back then to fit in with all my mates. Now I don't have to fit in, so I allow myself to say, I just don't like the music. Having said that, I could listen to 'Deep Purple in Rock' again, just for old times sake... or maybe lift and drop the needle just to remember the tunes.
How does an 'experimental' pop group make it into 1001.
Absolute trash.
And the cover does my head in. And its round the wrong way.
Wanker.
Can't stand 'live' music. Especially old shit like this.
I can't knock James Brown, buy I'm not a fan of live music. If I want to listen to live music, I'll go to the venue. OK, I'll need a time machine, but I'm sure you get my meaning.
Fraid its only 1 star, could have been more if it were a studio album.
A lot of old dad/mum rock on this app which can be good or crap, this took me back though. I remember listening to a bit of YES, usually after a suitable amount of drugs and occasional acid trip. Some of the tunes and jingles remind me of so many other songs by other bands, but it feels impossible to place them. Although classed as rock, I would place it in a folksy style, folksy rock maybe?
Actually, reminds me White Noise which was introduced to me by some friends whilst tripping. Now that was an album.
Compared to some of the shite offered on this app its got to be 4 stars.
I don't really know Prince and his music. The first twos are hits and I've heard many times before. Was looking forward to the rest, but it was all a bit disappointing.
Looked at the reviews, either 5s or 1s. Its another live album, which spells shite for me. I gave it a chance, but no chance. F#@%ing load of rubbish.
I might as well listen to random albums rather than be fed this daily bilge.
1001 albums, where from.
Dull after the first two tracks
Things I was doing in 1995. Bringing up children. Working my arse off to house, feed, pay bills for all of us. Put up with my my lazy arsed partner who did fuck all to help, except shout abuse. It was a few years before I finally left them.
What I did not do was listen to this absolute pile of horse shit.
Blonde on Blonde is a bloated, self-indulgent mess where Dylan mistakes gibberish for genius and nasal whining for vocal style. It’s the musical equivalent of being cornered at a party by a pretentious bloke who’s definitely read too much beat poetry and won’t stop telling you about it. Half the tracks go on forever about absolutely nothing, the band sounds like they’re winging it half the time, and by Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, you’ll be praying for sweet, sweet silence. If this is ‘the pinnacle of rock poetry,’ no wonder punk had to happen.
Made a heap of money and lived a soft cushy life by being an absolute wanker.
This is just weird. Lyrics mostly Yugoslavian, I think. Like listening to a fascist industrial march beat. Enhanced by a speech by Churchill sung in an autocratic voice over. I'e heard a different version of 'Live is Life', but nothing like this one, its worth a listen just to... to... maybe not.
Yeah, it's different.
I never knew albums like this existed, so thanks 1001... I think. Maybe not.
I'll go and lay down now, and let the tanks roll over me...
Umm... ahh... I forgot.
A picture of a little red book with a doodle on the front. What sort of album cover is that!
For me, Radio head produced one song of any note, that was only for a couple of weeks until I bored if it, and more because of the guitar than anything else.
Boring, whinging, and forgettable.
Listening on a 'Monday Morning'. Thats got to be a 1 in 7 chance. But I'm in summer, not 'on a winters day', it's June. Thats a 1 in 4 chance. But at least my Spanish Red Roses are doing well this year.
All pretty innocent times. The album cover was banned because.... shock horror... there is a toilet in the picture, I mean, how could they, disgusting! Burn them! Have they no principles.
In spite of their crap name and album cover, the songs took be back in time to more innocent days, not that I can remember them, my romanticised version of them.
Whatever. Geeks.
Wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.
Just ok.
Not really my cup of tea.
Oh fuck off 1001. No sooner does one of them die, then this comes up the very next day. Anyone else get this.
Sweet sugary shit.
This ranks one of the top albums of all time for me, next to Aladdin Sane & The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust. Without a doubt the best track has to be the cover of 'Wild is the Wind', followed by 'Word on a Wing'. This is one of those albums that can be listened to from start to finish without interruption.
Exquisite is a word that fits so beautifully with this album.
The cover is outstanding and nearly, but not quite as iconic as Aladdin Sane.
My early teenage years were spent listening to early 70s Bowie, and for me this album marked a change in his music that I didn't much care for at the time, and I went on to widen my tastes.
I listen to this album so often that I didn't really need to again, but you know, any excuse. However, I listened twice just pondering about what to write here.
I'm a massive Bowie fan and feel blessed to have been born in a time to experience his orgasmic musical genius.
Nice cover, very colourful and 'flower power'. Thing I find with this era is that I never know what band is playing, as a lot of music from that time all sounds same-ish. Most of the tracks were fairly mundane, but not in a bad way. It was only when 'sunny afternoon' started playing that I recognised the single track that I had heard before. 'Dandy' seemed ok as well. I followed some of the lyrics and a lot was about wealth.
Don't get me wrong, I like the piano, but a solid hour.
Not sure why I must hear this before I die.
Adele has such a powerful voice, but all these songs just grate on me.
Every song sounds like the last one. Boring. On this album it sounds like she is trying to chase something from the past. Sometimes the past is best left there. Time to move on and create something exciting and new.
The subject matter of the songs are all around heartbreak. Suicide music. Give it a rest.
Is it pretentious to just put her mug on the cover, is this expecting everyone will recognise her and not need her name or the albums.
She is good, but overrated, and this album proves that.
Beware the six headed snake. It will bite you six times and leave you to your own Apocalypse.
Another load of old shite.
Surprised! I liked.
One horse town is a really catchy tune. In fact most of them felt good.
Going out on a limb and marking as 3 stars.
Three really good tracks on here, otherwise not much.
I liked the film 'Last Christmas' which had music from George, just not so keen on this album. Was ok though, so giving it 3 stars.
This is an assault on the ears.
Lets do the maths. 1001 albums over how many years, 4 decades, maybe more, but lets go conservative.
Top 50 albums from each year x 40 years = 2000.
Maybe a lot of dross in that figure so cut out half = 1000, which in turn should account for the best 25 albums of each year over the course of 40+ years.
This album made it to 57 in the UK charts.
I didn't need to hear this before I die.
The singer shouts not sings. Is that because they need to be heard above the noise.
I'm reading all the reviews and amazed at how highly rated people are finding this.
I love Frank. Maybe a track or two, but a whole album. Its a bit like having a couple of your favourite biscuits, you wouldn't eat the whole pack.
Its jazz. Its old jazz. But the lyrics were good.
Epic. Great voice.
5 Stars
In some parts it sounded like a reincarnation of Yes.
With a fraction of crossover to Fleetwood Mac.
But without the pazazz.
Shame.
Creme da la creme.
David Bowie will always be top for me, and this album is one of the best.
Have often been to Heddon Street where this cover picture was taken. Since he died a couple of restaurants the that street have been renamed I expect in the hope of pulling the punters in.
K.West were unhappy at the time of having their name on the album cover, they didn't last, but Bowie did.
Lady Stardust was written about Marc Bolan, and evokes a time of glam rock, flared jeans, platform shoes, a time that was so unique. The 70s was my era of teenage discovery. Carnaby Street, fashion.
Wow, long album.
Bit of a has been. Was any of this ok at the time, don't think so.
Violent lyrics that are just plain embarrassing now.
Sort of music just encourages acts of anger and aggression.
I didn't have the stomach to listen to all, or the time.
Utter nonsense.
Eminem, you were rubbish back then, and even worse now.
Solid 5 stars all the way.
This album was a birthday present when I was 18, it was released in October the previous year. I was into motorbikes and I copied part of the lyrics from the title track and had that above my bed.
Some of the lyrics wouldn't stand the test of time, but this was the 70s, a time unique in history. My era.
As for the album cover, just awesome.
Legend.
Sounds like whale or birth music. From the depiction of of the cover, the latter would be about right. Wasn't like any of my kids being born, it was lots of swearing and cursing.
Next time I'm suffering from insomnia I'll put this on. Trouble is, it's so forgettable that I don't think I will.
She is ok. Her voice is good, but I wouldn't say she was great. Bit over rated as a singer.
Why do people go so mad for her. Must be an age thing.
Did I just listen to a musical.
Great album, some tracks better than others.
Ride across the river has to be my favourite.
Love the start up to Your latest trick.
4 stars, very nearly 5, but like others have mentioned, the homophobic slurs are not helping, otherwise automatic 5 star. Unclear if the slurs are self directed.
I just can't be arsed to even try and listen to this head banging shite
The fuck! This album, it says, is not on any streaming service and if you find it, let "them" know.
The app has finally eaten itself and offered an album that potentially doesn't exist.
Well done! Wankers.
1 star just to register my frustration at this app.
Doesn't play on my apple music.
I saw them at Hammersmith Odeon in London 1977 as part of their Technical Ecstasy tour. My friend who I went with was so overboard with the band that it put me right off them. I did enjoy some of their music quietly by myself, though I don't like heavy metal in general.
I think that this 1001 album generator is not so random, why else would this come up on the news of Ozzy's passing.
RIP mate, respect.
Mumble mumble, ghetto yeah, shooting yeah, mumble mumble...
Shit back then and even more shit now.
Does playing the first bit of each track with a random drops of the needle count as listened. Its the only way to get through some offerings.
More American drivel that don't, and will never know how to do music.
Yet another album that I didn't need to hear before I die.
Dig a HOLE, place this album at the bottom, fill with earth, get on with life.
1972... probably fighting with my brother. Fucking pissed off with my parents. Can't wait to grow up a bit more and get the fuck out a trauma ridden, neglected household. Fuck the lot of them. Saving my own fucking soul is about as close I came to any fucking soul.
1993 totally passed me by. In the grip on my own alcoholism.
Oh my gosh, this is just so boring...
It went down hill in 2016
Brexit
The move of the Overton Window
Populism
Far right
Trumpy cunt
It all went to shit when Bowie died, correlation rather than causation. Maybe not.
I never really listened to Cohen when he was alive, a recent discovery through this app. So thanks for that.
Not even going to bother with this one
The fuck did i just put on. Skipped through a few tracks.
Sounds like someone with a sore throat shouting to a background of roadworks.
The fuck is that cover, nightmares are made of this.
Seriously... super rubbish. Too much American shite
Strangely hypnotic.
The Lisbon sisters.
What goes on behind closed doors.
I listened once.
That will be the only once.
Pretty sure I've heard most the these songs before, apart from Bohemian Rhapsody, that was so long and boring, I thought it would never end.
There has to be at least 1001 albums better than this nonsense.
Shoutie Mac ShoutFace
Fucks sake
Gang Starr... Ahahahahaha, they think they are gangsters... Ahahahaha. Coochie coo.
There is only one: Tupac
Yet another album that I could have done with not hearing before I die.
I hate country western only slightly less than metal.
First time I have listened to the album complete, though I have heard many tracks stand alone.
Wrong era for music for me. I was up to my eye balls with kids, home, trying making ends meet. A lot of the 90s passed me by.
Completely forgettable.
Sings in one tone.
Not really sure what to say about this album. Couple of okay tracks. Tends to speak the lyrics, and very quickly.
I'm not a fan of the Beatles or John Lennon, they were only just a little before my time. If I were born 10 or even 5 years earlier it may have been different.
From the lyrics this is a JL departure from the Beatles with one finger. In the track "God", he states he is the dream weaver and the walrus, i.e. the core of the Beatles and without him they are nothing.
It is the lyrics that tell different stories of John. In "Mother", a child who sought out love but never found it, or very little. What do you do if parents don't show love, it can destroy a life with anger that has no place to land, like an aeroplane with unlimited fuel looking for a place to land after the Earth has been destroyed, constantly trying, maybe even going back to the same place, just to check. That eternal pain shouts loudest at the ending of the track, with JL screaming Mama don't go, Daddy come back. Very very sad. The closing track, "My Mummy's dead", expresses 'so much pain', bottled up, 'I could never show it'.
Maybe JL saw Yoko in part as a replacement mother figure, being 7 years older, one can only speculate.
Was he special? My opinion, his talent was an outlet through which he could pour his emotions. His conditions of worth.
2 stars as I'm not a fan, but at least the lyrics stopped me in a pause for thought. Otherwise it would have been 1.
I'd rather listen to this after I'm dead.
I remember this album sitting in the special LP box that my family had, memorable because it is in black and white. I was born in 1960, so this would have been one of my early memories. At that age I would have been more into the Chipmunks.
This evokes childhood memories for me, so how can I not be emotionally affected. Older siblings and parents would play the radio and record player, I would have no say and would naturally absorb the feelings the tracks evoked in others. Listening to this now, 60 years later, the hold has loosened somewhat. Some of the tracks are ok, the others are spared by the norms at the time of being under 3 minutes.
I wonder if the size of each Beatles head on the cover meant anything to the photographer, in terms of who they thought was more important.
Some Radiohead I have liked, but not this one.
I think this album should be renamed "The Diabolic".
Which sort of rhymes with Chronic.
Compelled to stay with the melancholic and mercifully short 28 minutes, seeking insight into why someone took their life so young. Searching for what breaks someone, through clues in the lyrics.
What causes depression, a rhetorical question, because it is no one thing.
Ranking 19th from the bottom of global stats on here.
What the fuck is it still doing.
Hey, Surfing Buttholes, stick it where the sun don't shine.
I listened to a few seconds from a sample 4 or 5 tracks, threw up, wrote this review as a warning, WARNING! WARNING!, and got on with my day.
What a bunch of KUNTZ. Go fuck your own butthole.
I was encouraged by the intro track with the school teacher-ish reading of names. Lauryn Hill was missing. Imagine my disappointment when she turned up on the very next track!
The tracks are not a screaming horror show as some offerings on 1001, but none were ticking boxes.
Its a no from me. NO!
About 1 hour 16 minutes too long. No, changed my mind, 1h 17mins too long.
This is one of those albums that would change what I think depending on my mood of the day.
Eight years old when released, I have recollections of songs on the radio, of which I had no control over. Thus absorbing British pop of the time. I don't recall any of The Zombies, however, the style and sound is so generic of the time.
On an exceptional good mood day this is 3 stars, otherwise 1 star.
Only exists in 1970s misogynistic time warp.
The album needs to be erased for all time, along with the worlds number 1 most awful cover.
Is this the same Bee Gees.
Wow. Shit.
Sounds like an awful person
More like "Bunch of Muppets".
Sounded like the Lion King
On a scale of 1 to 5 I'll give it -1.
I was eight when this was released. I remember a few of the songs. Mostly, the Beatles passed me by. By the time I reached early teens and my music genes were awake, the beatles were long gone and the likes of Bowie and Bolan were figures of my fixations.
Some of the tracks are not so bad, but some are, so I'm going to give it a 3 star.
Over long though, and I found myself listening to half a track and skipping.
Was like beige food... bland.
Not available on apple. No hardship though, I think I can live without this.
Honestly, I am a massive Bowie fan, but I just can't get my head round this offering. The instrumental tracks don't seem to fit, would be more at home set to a film.
If it weren't for Heroes this would be a nothing album. Even though Heroes is heavily played, it is such an awesome ballad I never bore with. Piercing lyrics. Alone, this track deserves to be held as one of the greatest songs of all time, and for that reason alone I'm giving this album 5 stars.
I was 20 when Signing Off hit, a perfect accompaniment to smoking weed and resin. Saw them live twice back it the day, once at the Brixton Academy which was pretty awesome. Chrissie Hind came on for the duo of "I got you babe".
My favourite track from the album is King. I think my youngest one will insist this is played at my funeral! She remembers me dancing about the house to this, thats if you believe you can dance to reggae.
The weed dropped before I had kids, but Signing Off and Present Arms have both been a presence, they are the background theme to my life, never waning.
The perfect anti tory and anti Thatcher, and everything that has disturbed this country since. A political statement. Fuck the tories, fuck the media, fuck the billionaires sitting up on their thrones in castles in the sky. Fuck you. 14 years of tories dismantling the UK. Fuck labour for their empty promises of fixing. The world is going to burn and you don't even want to see it. This world has turned into rape and pillage and fuck the consequences. The Earth dies screaming (a warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence, highways quiet scars across the land, people lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming). Fuck Trump, Fuck the far right fascist, fuck you for moving the Overton Window so far to the right that minorities become the subject of abuse. FUCK YOU. The land belongs to no one. When you are dead, maybe you might see that... thats the paradox. When you're dead you're the same as anyone else, fucking dead.
Wake up people, before its too late... oh, sorry, it already is too fucking late. Wankers. x
I can remember three 10cc songs, none are on this album.
I'm not in love. A slightly crappy, but good at the time, end track for the school and youth club discos I used to go to. 14 years of tory rule destroyed them and everything else, fuck the tories.
And I'm Mandy fly me, a cheesy tale of a dream.
Pick your own number 3. Plenty more cheesy tracks to choose from.
2 stars because at the time I noticed them, slightly better than some, and for the nostalgia of the school/youth disco.
Every track begins with "one two three four..."
As for the cover picture, the guys on the far left and far right bought their wigs from the same place.
This is exactly the type of mundane shit that makes me want to delete this app.
Middle of the road group.
Not bad. Just not that good either.
Forgettable.
Amazing career spanning the decades.
Not a fan of this album.
They named themselves after an ancient mother and son.
The son got nailed to a cross.
The mother weeped.
"Dad", the son shouted.
The father was nowhere to be seen.
Well... I wouldn't drink it.
Sounds like a live album with talking in the background and JM singing off mic. I've read other reviews saying it is tight musically, maybe it is, the singing makes sound amateurish.
American trash.
American mess.
American shit.
Can't stand Mariah Carey.
Comes across as a performative prima donna.
Breathy moaning set to below average songs.
I would give no stars if I could.
Not found on apple music.
Just as well, I wouldn't like it.
She has a good voice, a whole albums worth gets a bit much though.
Paguine da frontian ulavune int um tee, orkesta u pam trea munda va indrollaget vu poft.
17th from bottom on 1001 global stat list.
One track out of nine is pretty poor. Having said that, the one is a massive classic. 80s, misogynistic. The cover artwork screams all sorts of wrong, white angel smoking, rebel without a cause. That was the evolving 80s for you, some of it better dead and buried.
Back in the day I would drop an acid tab and listen to stuff like this.
Now I'm completely sober I couldn't contemplate such a thing.
No doubting, she is a great singer. I think the term is "raw".
What has the world done to the world since 1967.
I like the album design more than the music, which is sort of ok... ish.
The pattern repeats itself, both the cover and music.
Second time this band has come up in short succession. Where has variety gone. Load of American nonsense, as usual from America. 2 hours of this shit, you must be joking.
Utter failure.
Cover looks no better than a 10 year painting.
I mean, who picks this shit.
I used to go to this bar on a Friday night and play 10 Neil Young tracks in a row and do magic tricks. Most everyone loved it, except for one person who worked there, they always looked so angry.
I couldn't stand ABBA when they first appeared. Later I sort of liked them a little bit in secret, and then not.
50 years later I've given my head a wobble and can embrace some of the music. They were part of the music scene, whether I liked it or not, in the 70s.
Some say a masterpiece.
Sounds like a collection of noises from a three year old nursery group.
With a cover picture to match.
Uggh... country shit
Top 1001 albums, you gotta be kidding
I had this in my record collection, not sure why, I was never a great fan. Listening back I can see why I bought it. Its not half bad and he has a great voice.
I got so sick of an ex listening to this back in the day, just looking at the cover invokes PTSD.
Does a tree make a sound if it falls in a forest and nobody is there.
Does an album make a...
The cover is so cool, great start, I wonder if that triggered my unconscious bias towards liking this album.
Yes, I loved listening to this. At last, something on 1001 that ticks the boxes. Clear vocals and lyrics, haunting and yes... melodramatic.
I watched Springsteen at the old Wembley Stadium on Saturday 6th July 1985. No support group, they played both halves, about 4 hours, I was pretty impressed at the value for money.
I have listened to this album so many time over the decades, its always been a favourite. Each track stands alone, combined is just beautiful.
My favourite tracks, Thunder Road, Meeting Across the River, and the last track Jungleland, all are story telling in themselves. Will often just play the last two tracks.
This is in my top ten tracks of all time. GW
I loved the Monkees, the television was part of my childhood.
But this album has to be the pits.
Its a shame this album was chosen for 1001.
Graded 11th from bottom, so what the fuck is this doing on here.
Album cover is such a cringe.
Gotta say that I love Roxy Music, this album has just one great hit, Virginia Plain, the name based on a painting by Ferry of a packet of Virginia Slims cigarettes, the rest are a bit of a let down. Very hit and miss.
The cover was a former Bond girl Kari-Ann Muller, paid £20 to appear on the cover. Don't feel sorry for her though, she went on to marry Mick Jagger's brother. Having a very nice life due to being born with looks and luck.
Repetitive. Smooth. Yeah, this conjures up everything chic.
Yeah, iconic cover and pretty good tracks. Gotta hand this one to 1001. Deserved. Although not really my cup of tea.
Two albums in a row here on 1001 that have been pretty good.
Like the title track. The rest is a bit same samie, but ok.
Crap and a shit cover. Wankers.
The same Phil Spector who went to jail for second degree murder of Lana Clarkson, and has a history of violence with guns and women.
Judging from the dates of reviews, this album has been shoved under peoples noses since 2020 on or around Christmas day.
Some people should be erased from glorification, not from history, so 1001 deems it fit to shove a woman killer and hater under your nose on Christmas day.
Fuck you 1001.
I thought the Eagles were ok man.
But this album is just shit.
Not exactly a great album cover. In fact, its also shit.
After listening to this, I'm with the dude; I fucking hate the Eagles.
This is an absolute pile of shit.
Who the fuck decided to put this on here. Wankers.
A collection of noise and rubbish.
Oh do fuck off 1001.
Rated third from lowest of the global stats on this site.
That makes two albums worse than this one, unbelievable.
Couple of good tracks, then it's running down that hill.
Fucking transphobic moron.
The fuck is that cover. Stupid cunt.
Awww... poor little pasty white boy. Go get some therapy for your hate.
Not as good as everyone thinks he is.
A rubbish guitar player.

Jurassic coast
Jurassic period
Jurassic fossils

Complete non-descript singing to a background of non-descript guitar playing.
If this were food it would be the colour beige, chicken nuggets and chips.
Bland.
When I clicked on the apple music link... 3 hours 36 minutes. Nah... not going there.
Might cure my insomnia.
I just don't know about this one. Is it really worthy of space on here.
fuck is that goat doing on the cover.
Oh boy... another new low...
Like tomato ketchup, half full of sugar and not good for you.
Ugg... Robert 'fucking boring' Zimmerman.
Boring as fuck.
Used to love his music back in the day.
Now... he was just a thug who could bring music to the world. If he could have done that without the thug bit, it would have been so much better, and he would still be alive today.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
1967, wow, I always thought Velvet Underground were much later than that. I've never really listened before.
Great singing voice. Had to see who that is, Lou Reed, wow, talk about a smack in the head.
Great tracks, yeah, good going 1001.
Absolutely no.
this album is also just too fucking awful. just like the orange toddler.
