1001 Albums Summary

"I'm 14 and angry but my mum won't let me listen to proper metal"

Steely Dan are a great band but I always feel like I'm listening to a overdone pastiche of another great band I really want to listen to

A band trying to find something new but still not quite there yet but its still good because its radiohead

Fun. Seems quite dated now

Sounds really cliché and slow now, hard to imagine what it would be like listening to it originally but must have made an impact

i dont do the drugs that might make me enjoy this album

i would have liked to have been at that show

this is good 60s stuff, had to skip the pissing about with synthesizers though

nice but a bit dull

disco basslines are the best basslines

no

sounds like mariah carey sacked her backing band and her songwriting team and got a bloke who mashes a keyboard with one hand and hits things with the other whilst she makes up words on the spot and warbles. dont get me wrong, its still better than mariah carey, its just not very good

interesting. felt a bit like i'd rather be listening to nick cave. 2nd disc was boring.

pretty good

good band

Great music but the whole concept and the weird over the top fretless bass would be frowned at and ridiculed if released today

pretty dull

still sounds fresh

pretty cliched and his vocals-AH are really annoying-AH but things that become cliche were usually good till everyone got fed up of them. some great music and technique but mostly sounds really thin and overproduced. felt quite jarring when 'one' popped up, which stands head and shoulders above the other tracks

classic

not really my thing but good stuff

good stuff

ive always known i should listen to charles mingus and now i have im glad of it but by the end of that i felt a little on edge

no thank you

the pre-packed, oven-ready, homogenised, airbrushed, bland version of rock and roll for which the 80's must answer for

That was ok

little vignettes of peculiarly british, often mundane and always disturbing experiences wrapped in twee bouncy music which somehow makes the whole thing comforting.

The black pioneers of blues have a lot to be angry about

life in middle america sounds very dull

interesting jolly poppy stuff

shoe gaze if you want to but its really dull

He's good, but he's not as good as he thinks he is

this was weird and enjoyable

Dreamy, pleasant and catchy

im sure they were all having a lovely time

There's a buffet restaurant near me where you can eat food from every country at the same time. People sit at a table eating poorly cooked curry in a rubbery Yorkshire pudding with a side of dry spaghetti bolognese. Its an abomination

Nice

That's a lot of hammond. now i know where the music for all those scenes in films where they're doing something slightly surreptitious came from

"listen, i know you paid a lot for those keyboards but have you ever thought they sound a bit, you know, shit?" "nah, keyboards are the future mate" "its just the drums and guitars all sound really good but the keyboards kind of ruin th.." "the future mate"

quite dull

I like classic hip-hop, I don't like this. I can't says its bad but it feels like one of those modern remakes of a classic car where it does the things its meant to do much better but without any of the charm.

im glad we're in a post post punk world

pretty non de script but fine

cant go wrong

You're a teenager in the 90s and like all teenagers you need loud music to annoy your parents. They've had rock and metal and punk so it really needs to be really nasty, electronic and disturbing

shit

dull but inoffensive.

still good

was straight shooter the inspiration for the countdown timer music?

really slow and dull and the call response thing is annoying

good shit

good

boring

not what i expected, but good

this was not as bad as beyonce

high quality dad rock

Sultans of swing

That was bollocks

Beige

background jazz music

they sound like they are enjoying themselves

This album unsurprisingly comes across as a mediocre facsimile of The Smiths, who despite Morrissey being a knob are a great band. The Smiths made such an impact that I now don't need to listen to Morrissey to get more Smiths because there are bands who are good facsimiles of them, like Another Sunny Day and particularly, Northern Portrait, a Scandinavian band who sing Smiths songs about Volvos.

lovely old bob

that was weird, but good

ok

while black hole sun is great, queens of the stone age autoplayed after this and it was a lot better

its good. it doesnt seem like he was a very nice fella though

you know those airbrushed paintings you get on the side of fairground rides? Like a slightly off picture of tom cruise doing a stunt or a gurning generic superhero? this is to music as those are to art.

the squeaky noise all the way through this is a drum called a Cuíca which is played by rubbing a wet cloth against a rosined stick which is against the very taught skin of the drum.

beige

its ok. doesnt sound very punky now and its pretty bland compared to the contemporary dexys album i got played earlier. feels like a historic artifact rather than anything i want to listen to

80s pop was pretty bad

couple of bangers but the rest is a bit meh

sometimes you want to listen to angry music

an adequate guitar band

This is incoherent

that was good and interesting

feels like an "influenced loads of people" band . probably better live

little richard is here, and he makes me feel uncomfortable

if the recommended songs that came on after an album are 40+ years newer and sound the same that tells you a lot

its not very good

always felt I'd like pj harvey but when listening always got something weird which switched me off. this album does it for me though

I do not know how Cyndi Lauper came to occur but I feel this is indicative of larger problems in society and not her fault personally.

1's from people who did drugs and listened to boring psychedelic stuff in the 70s, 5's from people who did drugs and listened to boring techno in the 90s

that was better than expected based on the one song of theirs ive ever heard

sounds like him going through some sort of therapeutic process. i do pity the hundreds of thousands of people who bought it expecting something else though

like beyonce but not as shit

better than i was expecting

something went wrong in the 80s

ok. bit different

not sure why but i liked it

this is the second byrds album I've had on here and now i want to throw that guys guitar out of the window. it doesnt sound good, it doesnt sound 'kooky', you dont sound like jimi hendrix, you've just taken too many drugs to realise you can't play the fucking guitar!

at least she didn't use that annoying autotune effect

banger

Boring

fuck off paul with your lovely life and jolly tunes

no

boring new wave

quite bland

when noone told some young earnest people that what they were doing wasnt deep and experimental, it was boring and shit, then they kept doing it so long other people started believing it too.

me standing at the back of a gig with a warm tin trying not to yawn while lots of people with cool hair very earnestly 'get it' at the front.

this is boring mediocre country music written for people living somewhere mediocre in america, of which there seem to be rather a lot.

boring

no

this was ok. it was not something i needed to listen to before i die

Twee and dull
