Camp and overblown

Annoying distorted crap

I guess they need to pander to the country music religious nut jobs and include something like this in the list

Absolute belter of an album

Few redeeming features here. Meaningless songs, uninteresting guitar. Finished the album with a flute FFS.

Thankfully not too much of his cheesy shit on this one

Superb. Still superb.

Superb. Still superb.

Not for me this. The three famous ones are all decent but the rest is a load of rubbish.

Happy Dad memories

Absolute French art school nonsense

Beatles rip off in places. Less cringe than some of their stuff but overall not too bad.

CLOLassic

Too much trumpet

A challenging listen. Not terrible

Still great

Decent drum n bass, not too heavy, listenable

Crap 80s soul

Classic 60s guitar wankery

No no no. NO

Superb this. Only knew 2 songs but whole album very good

Quite enjoyable, a little self indulgent in places

Uninteresting prog

A classic but a little cheesier than I remembered

Trying a bit hard with the folky sing alongs. Ok in places

Awful bland soul

Some weird rambling stories but generally very good

Over rated. Boring songs, very samey, annoying crowd interaction

Wall of noise. Not very tuneful

Classic blues

Nice!

First listen to a full Specials album - outstanding. Great fun.

Trying so hard to recreate Beatles magic. Fails

Average and samey

A real surprise. Very influential

Never heard of the band or any of these songs. Very average 60s guitar

Knew more than I expected. Genre busting

Probably a classic of the blues genre but not really my bag

Would have liked to be there

Still a bit annoying

Some classics on here

Some classics on here but album ruined by self indulgent no sense

Overly weird for the sake of it. Ok when he sings like a norm

Great apart from the random 10 minute chanting track

Much better than I expected

Didn’t know any of these songs, but very decent album

Very very flamingo

Never heard of this lot. Vocals a bit FNM. Guitars more hair metal

Annoying vocals. Bit bland. A couple of tunes stand out though

Very laid back and mellow, a little dull in places

First half repetitive trumpet. Second half repetitive miserable ballads

Repetitive chanting nonsense

Not even in Beck’s top 1001 albums

Surprised this made the cut. Nothing memorable here

Very non offensive

Nice!

Surprised this was controversial. Just afrobeat jazz

Camp and overblown

Didn’t recognise much of this but very decent

Definitely U2 at their most credible

One of the weaker jazz albums on here. Quirky vocals, derivative music

Yeah still as annoying as I remember

A bit bland and generic

Classic

Would be best album of all time if Yellow Submarine wasn’t on there

Very disappointing. Just ambient noise in places

80s tastic

Don’t know any of these songs but really like it. Can see where Gang of Youths got their inspiration

A mixed bag. Would listen again (and need to)

Good guitarist but the funk puns are beyond tiring

Superb, their best output by a long way

Rubbish

Absolute filth

Patchy. In no way a classic. Bad singer

One of my favourites. Works together seamlessly, part seedy part uplifting.

Classic blues

Awful tuneless nonsense

Not good. Generic slimy RnB

Really great, much more mature sound than earlier stuff, lots of classics on here

All good

Annoying distorted crap

A bit bland by their standards

This is more highly thought of than it should be purely down to timing

Dull generic soul/pop

Hair

Decent. Voice can get a bit annoying

Never heard of band or album. Quite good in a very early 90s way

I’m sure it was innovative at the time but just sounds a bit repetitive to me - the same heavy guitar riff and drums for an hour

80s classic. A bit weird outside of the well known ones

Great mix of rock, blues and country

First time I’ve heard this - unsure how/why because it’s right up my street

Very good! Had no idea they were a credible rock band, I assumed it was parody

Brilliant

A classic, albeit with a couple of weak ones which stop it being a 5

Amazing, created a whole genre

Random collection of noises and some shouty rap

Jazz. Didn’t strike me as particularly special or groundbreaking

A bit weirder than I remember

Some sort of classical/prog crossover. Bit weird. Not sure why the crowd goes so bananas

Difficult listen in many ways but still genius

Less high profile than Beach Boys but a very similar sound. Very catchy in places

Not really my thing but gets a 3 for being the original thrashy punk album that has been copied thousands of times through four decades

I guess they need to pander to the country music religious nut jobs and include something like this in the list

Actually painful to listen to. The worst kind of R&B/soul. Awful

Pandering to the country music weirdos

So pleased this on here. An under rated gem

Unsure how this made the cut. Fine but hardly ground breaking

Quite enjoyable though does get a bit repetitive

A bit unnecessary in places but some moments of genius

Never heard of them but quite like it. Shades of Jurassic 5 and FLC

Good listen. He’s less of a weirdo on full albums than I expected

Background music in a Middle Eastern restaurant. Rubbish.

Boooooooooooring. But inoffensive

Solid 70s guitar.

Think the 90s might be taking the lead

Less well known and less obvious than some of their others. A great listen

One trick ponies. Every song sounds the same. Disappointing

Absolute belter of an album

One of at least 3 five star albums by The Clash

Way too many sax solos and overblown gospel choruses. Not one of his best

Knowing this shit headlined Glasto makes me very sad

A couple of odd tracks but generally pretty good

Decent 80s electro

Fine, nothing really stands out but quite pleasant

Almost a 5/5 but nothing else on here is as amazing as the killing moon

Very good, worthy of a place on the list although it’s not a 5 star in my eyes

Cheesy naff disco. Not for me

Never seen the appeal. Annoying voice, bland pop tunes

Decent late stage Britpop

Bit of a mixed bag. Some pop naff in there. Sledge Hammer holds the whole thing up

Lovely. Just lovely.

Decent, less batshit than I expected. Psycho Killer easily the standout

Pleasant 70s soul. Summer breeze obvs a fine tune

1967! Wow. A good listen. Had no idea this was nearly 60 years old

Perfectly pleasant. A must-listen? Absolutely not.

Absolute classic, never gets tried

Pop garbage

Pretty average by his very high standards

Better than the usual wannabe gangster shit from Wu-Tang but having said that I’m never going to play this again.

Better than I remember. Should have got into this more at the time

Hard to categorise this. A bit folky a bit rocky a bit bluesy. Nicely different

Some classics on here. Goes a bit experimental and almost improv sounding with the beastie boys rip offs

The way to get on this list is clearly to be wildly eclectic and a little batshit

Very good, a little experimental at the end but enjoyed the listen

Not unpleasant. Bit samey

Prefer the Futureheads

Really repetitive and simple reggae. Bob Marley this is not.

Definitely at the cheesier end of the beach boys spectrum.

I’ve never given The Who the time they clearly deserve. This is an excellent, brilliantly structured album.

Unfairly lumped in with landfill indie. This is a great album
