1001 Albums Summary

Forgot how much I loved them! Fun loving indeed. Good sunny day trundler but bit samey by the end

Turns out I only know one Supergrass song - even though they are so familiar sounding. Glad I didn’t go to see them at Glastonbury and just wait for them to play Alright! Fave song Time - love the blues bass

Cringe as hell

Straight in with a banger. GOOD MORNING 🥳 Seems the rest of the album is demo versions of Highway To Hell

I think 60s music is just too old now. Too hippy & out of date. Hope to proven wrong on this journey.

Was excited for a more recent band but this is psychedelic drear. Easy is the only listenable track on the album.

1960 OMG 😨 Elvis is back… in 1960?! This album is too old to be considered. Unlistenable.

Was already massively into this album. Just classic stuff - my 3rd fave AM album at time of rating, mainly because of Fake Tales of S.F. and Still Take Yo Home. Massively takes me back to Whistler 2026/27.

Not sure I gave this a fully comprehensive review. Probably a sunny morning dog walk not the best place for it. Not enough drugs for one thing.

Used to think MSP were a bit mopey - not sure that verdict has changed a lot but did enjoy the nostalgia of Kevin Carter (who is he?!!?)

Hard to listen as Nathan’s refused. Find Eminem so cringey. Can’t see how this is in the top 1001 albums tbh but some nostalgia vibes at least

Gosh what a load of noise! Can’t believe that people pay real money to see this live - it would be even worse!

Had to really talk myself into listening to this - only because I know killing in the name of love 😂 Mike claims to LOVE them. What on earth? Not as bad as expected but only made it through 2 songs.

What a classic.

Twang central. Actually better than I was expecting. Weird how it’s the pretext for rock and roll but also very granddad toe tapping in armchair

Did not know how much of a Black Sabbath fan I was! Listened the day after Ozzy died, RIP Brummy Legend.

Not my fave but didn’t give it my full attention (post Ibiza)

Wonderful. Perfect. Listened at mum’s house sitting outside with a paella, Rory, Katy, and Suze and lots of white wine

Not the biggest jazz fan, but liked this as has a lot going on and clearly mega talented and varied. Played Park stage in 2023!

Not for me too early Beatles-esque

Are these ALL from the 60s 😡 This is just several versions of the girl from Ipanema, luckily just 37 mins album.

Bizarre - going to see Oasis at Wembley tomorrow!!! Obvs a lifetime classic album. No notes.

Actually didn’t know a load of this. Will definitely relisten

Didn’t not enjoy but totally disjointed and mad, maybe I am missing something 🤷🏼‍♀️ not sure I’d buy their album after w chance glasto encounter.

I didn’t give this a fair go but it was so unappealing from first couple of songs that I just couldn’t face it.

Ooh smooth crooner. Going back in the James Taylor archives here. Love Blues but could do with a bit more rhythm for me (love Steamroller)

Nathan says: Jeff Buckley, I knew he was shit. I won’t be buying this album. Presumably only made the top 1001 because of Hallelujah 🤷🏼‍♀️

Can’t believe this is my 40 year old stance but did not enjoy the violence & graphic sex references. Well known tunes absolute bangers of course (Juicy, Big Poppa)

Not my genre at all. Nothing to appeal from this, except how great it was when Skunk called out the Stormzy Glasto headlines for saying he was the first black artist to play the pyramid stage

More ladsy than expected. Music bit cringe but guess he was the original!

Have never knowingly listened to the Smiths before! Really liked and wish I had grown up with this. Lyrics fab. A little dreary and jangle pop acoustic for my preference?

SO good. They were great weren’t they.

Wow I like the Clash way more than I thought. London calling isn’t actually like the rest of the album?!

ADORE! From actual Timbuktu! Blues from Africa - how had I never heard of him before. Follow on Spotify ✅

Aah in my mum’s top 10 albums of all time, and I don’t think I’ve ever really listened! Not at all what I expected but loved it! Want to listen to more but have to march on with the project…

Another Black Sabbath already?! Definitely did not enjoy as much as Paranoid, this was more gothic & gloomy. How did they have 2 albums ready to drop in 1970, as their first ones!

Enjoyed! Actually loads better than I thought (the passenger & lust for life), thought he might be more punky and less rock. Weird there are 2 famous Iggy’s in the world.

So strange to have another Steely Dan album just a week later (and 2 Black Sabbath 🤷🏼‍♀️). Definitely prefer Aja, this feels a little loosely goosey.

Wow honestly didn’t know PJ Harvey was a woman. Maybe thought they were off PJ & Duncan? Awful music, moany & a Radiohead collab 👎🏼

Blur crossed with No Doubt, loved!

Just a classic Irish folk band - not sure I could have picked them out of a folk festival line up 😅

Horrific waste of time. Shame as had just seen Evita and would have quite enjoyed some Tango!

I thought Jethro Tull was a person, not a band 😂 quite liked the more folk rock tracks, didn’t like the more hard rock - album quite varied!

Pretty dire except Every Breath You Take, rest sounds like samples of a university band

Old albums are all over the place with the variety within! Can very happily say I’m a fan of folk rolk and I loved this album. Never listened, will re listen for sure. A Sailors Life - what a song 👏🏼 the vocals, the lead guitar at end 👏🏼

Just noise. Making me question the quality of this list’s compilation

Far too saccharine for me. I was going to compare this to the Beatles / Beach Boys and then a cover of their awful song Help came on!

Just noise. Making me question the quality of this list’s compilation

Outstanding. SO many great songs from this album and I didn’t realise they were born together.

No no no no made it through 2 songs - far too much.

Actually got into this after a ropey start. Quite cute!

Love OutKast, quite a bit of dross in the mix but still classic 👌🏼

Little bit mopey but actually quite liked this as backgroumfv

Quite enjoyed! Nick Drake album also yesterday (what are the chances?). Definitely like, not sure I’d seek him out for a relisten.

Absolutely disgusting, vomit fest. I had feared this coming up.

Somehow have never done a full listen through - thought there might be more iconic bangers but really enjoyed the vibe nonetheless

Well well didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did - listened whilst running and it was a real mood booster! Thanks Elvis

A dream! Still touring aged 66! Folky and perfect for sunny walk in the park. Had never heard of her

LOVED

forgot how much I love REM. Under rated and underplayed (by me)

Hmm depends on the mood I’m in. Today found gross & cringe. Another day maybe cute & nostalgic 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wonderful wonderful. Always associate with my mum and Free Bird but this is so much more fun and rock than that! Every song great.

Trans Europe Express is the only track considerable as a “song”. The rest is keyboard demo material.

Obviously can’t listen to this - hideous.

Third BS album on here that I’ve enjoyed. Never knew I was such a fan. Been missing out. Listened to running!

Loved! How relaxing and beautiful. Also mad that we’re going to Nepal & Bhutan in 3 weeks and this gets selected!

Absolutely no recollection of this - inoffensive I guess

Started well, thought it was going to be amazing. Got a bit manic Tetris! Tainted Love such an all time banger

A little bit frenetic but maybe didn’t give it a proper shot! Not the worst jazzz..

God I love this. Wish I had grown up with the Smiths - between ours and our parents generation I think?

Just adore. Must relisten 100 times.

This album out 1968 and so casually cocaine chatting… who knew it was such a timeless vice? Actually quite enjoy the ladsy Cash banter. Why is he so obsessed with jails & singing there?

Dribs & drabs

Thought this was going to be a dream but not as many bangers as expected

Ergh couldn’t get on with this, maybe didn’t give it a full shot

Dancing in the Moonlight, Boys are back in town - great motorway driving

FAB 70s dream, wearing my new denim flares ha!

Love love love. How is Adele better live that even on this album.

Must have listened to Fisherman Blues over 1000 times in my life. One of life greatest pep up songs. Adore. Did not realise there is 1 hour 42 minutes of the 2 disk album to follow! Can’t knock some Irish folk though, all feel good.

Not my type of music but actually really enjoyed. Would never relisten 🤷🏼‍♀️

Every song LOVED! What a classic. With I could give it 6 stars. The hairy and authentic rebels that the Rolling Stones wished they were (The Guardian).

Way more gritty and urban than I had realised. Didn’t really enjoy and put me off the songs I knew!

I loved this! Well very nearly loved it, close but sometimes a little slipped gear. I wish I had loved it in my teens.

Old person radio music

Oh god, I want to love it! Smells like teen spirit obvs incredible. The rest v dreary. Made running hard!

Hated

Obsessed with Janis Joplin - new addition to the currents!

A racket

Slightly surprised Nathan by listening to this at dinner but actually quite soothing

Obvs heaven. Quite Florence & the Machine

Had no idea how much I would LOVE this. 6 stars. The parents were right all along 🙄

The perfect sunny day walking round Notting Hill sounds of reggae 😎

Downer. Best saved for a movie soundtrack
