1001 Albums Summary

Quite fitting that the first one would be from a fellow West London raised British Asian and it did connect me with the culture. Not much of a hip hop guy but I did enjoy it while it was on and was nice and upbeat.

Thought this one was decent but I wasn't super into it. There were parts where I was boppin about (mainly to the synth lines) but also parts that didn't really hold my attention.

It’s kinda giving 70s sitcom theme tune. The opening track is one of those songs that you know from somewhere but don’t realise it. I thought this album was nice and a pleasant half an hour but it didn’t make much of a lasting impact on me.

Would’ve probably been more positive towards it if it was shorter but it’s 73 minutes of acoustic-ish music that I’m not really feeling. Harmonica is always fun though.

Lots going on in this one. Quite liked it and was interested in what was gonna happen most of the time. Bass player poppin off (pun intended).

Really enjoyed the tracks towards the beginning of the album but I started to lose interest later on. Fuck the police.

Thought this one was nice even though I am not much of a (non-heavy) artsy prog man. Lots of pretty instrumental parts so might be nice for bed time.

RIP to the GOAT, you made my life infinitely better in ways you will never know

Pretty much just 40 minutes of Zappa going crazy on the guitar and it slaps

Not that keen on this one. Wasn’t offensive to my ears but didn’t find it engaging besides some funky bass lines.

Didn’t really feel this one apart from some of the instrumental parts. Never really liked Piece of My Heart much to be honest.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever listened to a full ABBA album despite liking the hits for years. Love the bangers on this, less keen on the album tracks.

Pretty cool if you want to feel like you have been transported back in time for half an hour but I didn’t really connect on a musical level.

Only really liked Without You, which I never knew wasn't a Mariah Carey original, and thought the rest was fine (except Coconut). Not much into singing-focused music anyway.

Always liked this one less than the other early Zeppelin records due to the lack of heavy riffs and more acoustic parts but I enjoyed it more than I remembered.

I quite liked this one and the atmosphere that it set. I feel like The Killing Moon is a very familiar song, but I can't figure out why.

Not my normal kind of thing, but I did like it. Saxophone and funky bass are always good things.

Sorry diva but I wasn’t feeling this one at all

Some parts that I enjoyed but also long parts that I found a bit boring to be honest. We got saxophone and slap bass though so that's something.

I liked some of the instrumental work on this one but overall wasn’t very keen

Got a bit bored to be honest, don’t think this one is for me

Had a good time with this one. Lots of songs I already knew despite not knowing where they came from before.

It’s quite nice and chill but didn’t make much of an impact on me

This was a fun one, didn’t enjoy the whole album but there was a lot of cool stuff going on. Sabotage will always be a banger.

Enjoyed this one but it is a bit samey

HEAVY METAL. Painkiller and Screaming for Vengeance are their two masterpieces in my opinion but I do like this one too.

There was a musical theatre production at my school every year and we used to have to watch bits of it in assembly. This album made me feel like that (derogatory).

Overall pretty neutral on this one. There were some parts that I liked but I found some songs to be a bit boring.

Was fine but I wasn’t very into it

A lot of the lyrics were very cringe, but I thought this one was fine otherwise

I'm not a jazz man but good saxophone playing John

This was a pleasant listen, although I don't think it really grabbed me enough for a repeat listen in future. I really like the album cover.

Got the obvious bangers in here but I thought the other tracks were vibes too

Gets a bit too indulgent and overlong at times for me, but it's pretty sick overall

Wouldn’t necessarily say I liked this one but I was intrigued by it

Decent listen, although not fully my kind of thing

Not really my kind of thing but it was cool to be transported back in time for a bit I guess

Kinda nice as background music but that’s about it really for me

I never really got into the Stones, except for a few songs, and none of those are on this album...

Ride the Lightning is my favourite album of all time and this is a close second

To be honest I didn’t hate this one as much as I was expecting to but it is a bit lyrically cringe at times. Dude is a wrongun too but that’s another story.

This kind of music (singing focused with minimal plain sounding instruments) is probably my least favourite of all

Ok, but where are all the boogie tunes? These ones are slow and boring.

Fairly neutral on this one but I did find it pleasant while it was on

Second dull pre-disco Bee Gees album in three days, generator please stop this my guy

Starts off with a run of worldies but loses steam a bit for me after that, still good though

Fairly enjoyable listen, although it doesn't quite hit fully for me

RIP but I didn't like this very much

An enjoyable listen, although too much preaching for me

Kinda fine to have on as background music, but I don't think I would ever put this on as it didn't do much for me

Decent listen but not really something I would choose

Bit overlong but I quite liked the vibe of this one

I could name 1001 more albums not on this list that are more essential than this. Just background music really I don't know what else to say.

Not as keen on his extracurricular activities but I do enjoy the odd bit of MJ from time to time. Lots of bangers on this one.

Sounds a bit like switching between stations on a broken radio, and all of the stations are playing the duck song

Not really my thing but nice songs Willie

Don’t really have much to say but that was decent I guess

I hate this, get it out of my ears (For the record I would have given it 2 with no vocals)

Actually ended up liking this one more than I thought I would, but still not really my thing

Message in a Bottle bangs, but I found the rest just kinda fine

Not really up my alley but I don’t hate

Yeah this was decent I guess (I know nothing about jazz and have already forgotten everything that happened)

Unseasoned music by a lemon and herb band

Not much to say really just kinda average

Hard

Once again I am reminded that I don't like jazz very much, but good job lads

Can’t be dealing with acapella but at least it wasn’t by annoying drama students doing pop songs this time

Was decent but I don’t have much to say

They really did bury my favourite guitar solo of all time in an 80 minute concept record

Was fine but I reckon they can do better

Didn’t enjoy the whole thing but it’s good fun at times

Thought this was really good to be fair (as Nazi music goes)

Sometimes dudes just want to rock out

I didn’t dislike this but it just sounds like mid pop from the 80s

I didn’t hate this but it’s not my thing at all

Good fun although not something I would listen to normally

The return of my least favourite music genre of all, fair play diva but it's not for me

Pretty good I guess but I still don’t really get the hype

Prefer Favourite Worst Nightmare but I’ll never get sick of this

Not that keen on this one

Liked it more than I thought I would but still not really for me

Against my better judgement I enjoyed this, although not as much as the other one I heard recently

Didn’t like it very much

Thought this was nice but I don’t have any strong feelings on it

Heard the two bangers a million times before and they always slap, rest of the album is decent too

Not much to say on this one, thought it was alright

Doesn’t have any of my favourite Hendrix tracks that I sometimes listen to on it but I did enjoy it

Thought this one was enjoyable but not one of my favourite hip hop records I have heard on this list

Was enjoyable but just kinda average

Not gonna lie I thought this was mid and Karma Chameleon isn't actually as much of a banger as people claim it is

Every opportunity to hear fretless bass is a gift, so for that reason I legally can’t rate this any lower

Fine to have on in the background but this one didn’t grab me in any way

The Beatles at home

I like these songs, but I can't deal with bands extending their songs live to fit in long periods of wankery

Thought this was fine but it really didn't need to be this long

Not really all that fussed by this

Didn't hate but not really my thing

Doubt it will be one I return to but was an interesting listen for sure. Also album cover is kinda giving brat.

Bit long but enjoyable

Pretty goated if you ask me

Good fun most of the time and lots of cool bass lines

Our House is a banger, but the rest is just pretty average and sometimes a bit sus (New Delhi)

Didn't like this one as much as the previous one I heard on this list but it was decent I guess

Not gonna lie, this just sounded like sound effects to me

None of the Madonna bangers I already knew were on here but I thought it was alright

Not really what I usually go for but I did enjoy

Take Me Out is an all time indie club banger, unfamiliar with the rest of the record but I liked it

Not crazy about it but I did enjoy the vibe

Good fun

I still think Anthony Kiedis is a creep, but these songs were very influential to me when I was starting to learn bass

Songs with powerful auras

Yeah was fine I guess

Decent listen but nothing grabbed me that much

Dare I say favourite Maiden album

Not really all that fussed by this one, but it sounds ok

It's ABBA so I like it but there weren't many of the classic bangers on this one

Yeah decent

Not really feeling this one

Kinda got on my nerves a bit after a while, but nothing super offensive about it

Thought it was nice, but it isn't something I would choose

Actually didn't mind this one, although it is way too long

Not really for me but didn’t hate

I’m just a bit of a hater when it comes to this kind of thing

An enjoyable listen

I once saw Nick Cave at the bus stop, which was more exciting than this

Not really the kind of punk that usually floats my boat but I did find myself dancing for half an hour

This is the second one (out of 7 for some reason) that I have gotten and I really don't care much for Bobby D

Not keen

Diva slop

Do love a bit of Christmas cheer

My favourite Zeppelin record

Richard mate this is good music but I’m not really that into it

Quite liked this one to be honest Bonus fact: I heard Golden Skans on Deadly 60 when I was like 8 and it took me over 10 years to find it again (indie club at uni)

Dull dull dull

A pleasant listen, even if it didn't make much of a mark on me

Not really my kind of thing but I would be lying if I said it didn’t bring on the feels while I was eating my breakfast

Slay

I found this interesting more than enjoyable but at least that is something Bazza

Fine I guess but I'm not too fussed

Enjoyable but not mind blowing

Thought the rest of the album after THE SONG was pretty mid, but luckily THE SONG is an absolute banger

The first MIA record was my first from this list and I enjoyed this one more, West London South Asians represent

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would

Actually never listened to the whole album before now but always liked a couple songs off it (you know which)

Yeah decent

Funky fresh

Keith mate I know you are really good at piano and everything, but I don’t really enjoy this kind of thing

Thought this was decent but it’s not something I would normally pick

I've never listened to Rush properly before but this is sick, first 5 star I have given to an album I hadn't heard previously

Some absolute worldies on here but also a fair bit of filler

Chipping Sodbury mentioned, big up all my South West mandem

Some bangers at the start but then it’s just mid after mid

Bad Moon Rising is iconic but this isn’t really my cup of tea overall

Never heard of this before but I thought it was enjoyable

Not really that keen

Really not my thing at all, but the bass playing pleased me

Yeah fine I guess

Nice one Peter

Listenable but didn’t make any impression on me

Yeah go on sure let’s have some sitar shredding

Sounds alright but I’ve never been into Bowie as much as a lot of people seem to be

Freedom is an all time banger but the rest is just a bit mid

Found it an enjoyable listen but quite bloated

Was alright

Didn’t mind it but it’s way too long

Good fun

Was cool to hear this but I don’t think it will be one I come back to

Not mad on it but title track is a classic

Didn’t hate this but it didn’t really do much for me

Bit of a nothing burger this one

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would

Rock music

Good fun this one

Just kinda there

Nah that’s not for me

All I will say is that I am glad that there are other bands now

Ok

A fairly enjoyable listen

Luckily the instruments saved this from being one star

Found this to be a decent listen, although didn’t like it as much as some of the other rap albums on here

Didn’t mind this one but not really that into it

A classic

Good time to be fair

Not much to say to be honest, pretty neutral on this one

Intro had me feeling that something cool was gonna happen but it was just quite mid

Didn’t make much of an impression on me

Thought it was decent

Bit long George my guy but good job

I’m not a big Lorde fella but I don’t mind her

Sounded nice but I don’t think I will listen to it any more

Not gonna lie I actually hated this

A couple of bangers but mostly just ok

Don’t really care much for this kind of thing

HALLOWED BE THY NAME

Didn’t like this one very much unfortunately

Not what I usually go for but I thought it was decent

Obviously the first track is an absolute banger but the rest is just mid

Didn’t mind listening to it but it didn’t do much for me overall

Another record where there is one absolute banger and I find the rest to just be ok

Really good to be fair

Feel that I should like this more but I just kinda don’t

Not really listened to Kate Bush before (besides that one) but I like this quite a bit

Gimme Shelter bangs but I didn’t care much about the rest

Yeah fine I guess

Some good songs throughout but also a lot of filler

Dudes rock moment

Unfortunately I do enjoy quite a bit of this album

Enjoyed some of this one but not all of it

Yeah decent

My monthly reminder that I don’t like jazz very much

Was fine I guess but it just kind of sat there

Not what I usually go for but did enjoy

I thought I was gonna hate this after a few minutes but I actually just ended up disliking it

I liked this one quite a bit

First time listening and yeah to be fair that is well good

Not really that keen

Really enjoyed about half of it, didn’t care much for the rest

Not to be a broken record but jazz still isn’t really my cup of tea

Not much to say really but was fine

First track obviously bangs, rest is alright

Pretty good yeah

After listening to a few of their records here (I think this is the 3rd) I have decided that I don’t care for the Stones

Not a fan

Not really with this but didn’t hate

Bit dull

Not really into this much but at least it’s something different

Me when that bloody machine gets on my nerves

An enjoyable listen

Was alright but had enough long before the album finally ended

I don’t mind a bit of Adele but doing a whole album was tough

Good record

This one was cool

I’m sure this is good but I just don’t enjoy this type of music

Not really for me

Bit mid but fine

Good I guess but not my kind of thing

Kinda stopped paying attention half way through which says it all I guess

Enjoyable

Nothing on this album compares to that banger
