Okay as background music I guess, whilst getting ready for the day. And not too loud. Preferably on mute....

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.

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.

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.

Loved this one.

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.

Didn't really like this.

Early David Bowie, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Listened to one track, that was enough.

WTF, 1001 greatest albums? No stars if I could

Noise. Zero stars

Was ok.

Never was a fan. Still not.

Would rather listen to chalk on a blackboard.

Groan...

Crap

Gave me a headache.

Was ok

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.

Yawn...

This was nice to listen to.

Good background music

Not for me

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.

What a load of shite.

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.

Classic Brit Rock.

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.

Ugh..

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.

I think it was ok

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.

Load of Bollocks

The fuck is this shit

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.

3 stars because...

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...

Never heard of them

Dated

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.
