1001 Albums Summary

Fun, punchy, garage rock with some undeniable bangers, but you've heard one song you've heard them all. Sounds a bit like every advert from 2002-2005. 6.8/10

Pretty boring album, title track and Here I Am are bangers though. 6/10

Riffs, just loads of mint riffs. 8/10

Very shit, pure cheese and at times a pretty difficult listen. I like the music, but Jeff Lynne has to shut up sometimes. CNF 2.1/10

One of the very best skate punk albums, so many bangers. It sounds so much like 1994. 8.5/10

What can you say really???? Faultless? Could listen to it all day on repeat, its going to be the first 5 star.

Pretty bonkers this was 1969, so influential, such an important bit of music. 4.3/5.

Top 3 Jazz albums of all time for me, sounds like psychedelic big band jazz from hell. Feels like you're in a nightmare sequence in a 1940s Disney movie.

Suedehead is right up there with some of the best songs Morrissey has written, but the rest is pretty average I think. It’s an album that like most of Morrissey's solo output asks the question, “Why the fuck am I not listening to the Smiths?”

His best work. So massive, I can’t really explain how much it means to me. Poor boy might be my favourite song of all time. It’s another 5.

Its italian-american spaghetti and meatball-core classics, I want to be in a restaurant called Gino's whilst i listen to this. It's a lot of fun, but its pretty samey as well.

I like it, its obviously a great album, but why does everyone talk about how good it is all the time? There are better drum and bass albums from this time?

Not really my cup of tea, it sounds a bit more like a SNL sketch of a hardcore band than anything. I appreciate how influential they are but they have never really done anything for me. Not a lot of stand outs but i did like World up my Ass. 2.2/5

Love the beginning, love the end, but the middle lacks quite a bit i feel. It feels illegal to give a Beatles album a 3 star but here we are? Fixing a hole through to within you without you ranges from boring, to just quite annoying. Such an incredible opening four songs though, just banger after banger. Best Tracks: With a little help from my friends or when I'm Sixty Four. 3.5/5

Its maybe the greatest just pure prog album of all time, the intersection of so many genres. Obviously quite a busy listen, and i haven't listened to it the whole way through in a while, but i had so much fun listening to it again. 4.5/5

A lovely listen, some high peaks but some middle of the road stuff as well. Really liked Part of a whole and Nomali 3.9/5

Maybe the greatest hipster coffee shop album of all time. Its so listenable, but at times maybe a bit too listenable where it borders on boring. 4.1/5

Never before have men from England sounded so much like Super Furry Animals. A really fun and interesting album, think there is a bit of a lull in the middle but other than that it was absolutely class. 4.5/5

Absolute grot if I'm honest. The only redeeming factor is love in an elevator, because that song is massive. I'm shocked this is on the list. 1.5/5

It’s not my favourite talking heads albums if I’m honest, it’s good, but I don’t even reach for this album, some obvs highlights like take me to the river and the big country

Better than Rumours IMO, its just so many bangers in a row. Personal fav is The Ledge, a me and Eva CLASSIC that.

Massive stuff, really love the title track. What a voice this man has. 4.8/5

What can you fucking say

I know you’ll hate me for this. But it’s really bad, it’s fart rock, it’s the worst front man of all time and a guy shredding. It’s a band I never understood, I hate the songs Jump and Hot for teacher so fucking much. It’s 1980s USA capitalism and cocaine rock, 4th of July BBQ-core. Pls don’t leave me.

Controversially, I don’t like this album that much, Ashcrofts voice does my head in and I don’t think he’s a very good song writer. It’s also fucking LONG. But saying that, bittersweet symphony is arguably the greatest British song of all time. 2.5/5

The greatest ever songwriter at the peak of his powers. There isn’t a bad track on here. It’s a sexy, jazzy folky love story about love by an absolute powerhouse and a bizarre nutter to boot. Couldn’t pick a favourite track, genuinely impossible. 6/5

Very nice album, but not their best IMHO. Some obvious standouts, but I don't love this album loads. The State i am in might be there best ever song though? And there is some stiff competition there. 3.8/5

Pusherman is one of the coolest songs of all time. Why do we not exist in a time now where mint artists made albums for movies? 4.2/5

Its an easy 5, its so good. Maybe one of his best albums, you can sill here the influence of this album today. Fair to say no grunge without this album?

Impossibly hard to listen to, the most irritating vocalist of all time, woo-ing and yeah-ing, and huh-ing through some quite irritating guitar flourishes. Some of the solos are fun i suppose. I guess this album is good in a way because it doesn't include Hot for Teacher or Jump. The shoobadoowah's in I'm the one are a particular low point. Ice Cream Man might be one of the worse songs we have had to listen to so far. It sounds like worse Aerosmith with better guitar. I didn't mind Atomic Punk at all though. Tom's Review - 0.75/5 Eva's Review - "I can see why a young boy would like this." Little dreamer is good, but Ice Cream Man knocked a few points off. 3/5

I mean, it’s kind of fun. It’s mainly bad but there are some fun tracks in here. It doesn’t really sound like anything else, it’s his own white trash nu metal funk hip hop that shouldn’t work but sort of does. Batwidaba is the obvious standout, but there’s a lot of fluff

Class album, so many highlights. Changes, Oh! You Pretty Thing, Kooks and Queen Bitch are phenomenal songs. You could argue Life on Mars is one of the defining songs of the 70s. Crazy that this isnt even in my top 5 Bowie albums. Saying that, the bad songs on this album are pretty bad, Andy Warhol, Quicksand and the Bewlay Brothers are just not good songs, which knocks a bit off shine off the album. 4.2/5

Dull, crap soul sung by a bloke with a stupid little voice. Really tough listen, its the music of the aunt your family doesn't really see that much anymore. 1/5

The coolest fucking album in the world. I wish I was in the studio with them doing coke and drinking whiskey. The ultimate vibe of jazz-rock-pop every one is on top form and just killing it, the drum solo in Aja is phenomenal, but that's what you get from Steve Gadd. Best Song: Peg, an absolute masterpiece, Michael McDonald on backing vocals with a voice like big hairy angel.

Such a cool album, so funky and trippy and weird. This is the peak of his cocaine powers, when he was eating 1 red pepper and drinking 1 glass of milk a day and grams of cocaine. Bands still want to sound like this so bad. Best song: Sound and Vision, my favourite Bowie song.

Its a kind of music that does nothing for me if i am honest, but saying that if you are after an 80s synthpop album you could do a lot worse than this one. Best song is Rio obviously. 3.8/5

Its fucking good stuff ennit, Bert Jansch is the GOAT.

"Sunday Bloody Sunday". What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!" 3/5

Not as good as i remember, at its best its very Serge Gainsbourg, at its worst it was quite boring. I imagine it was mint in 2002 though.

Imagine us the most saccharine wanky song of all time, but the rest of the album is fine. It’s not got a lot of highlights or lowlights it’s just fine

Not a very album, but Tiny Dancer is massive. It is definitely not his best album

Its hard to think of a better song than Babylon. The whole album is just incredible though he's such a good song writer. 4.8/5

It's the greatest Jazz album of all time. Cannonball Adderley, James Cobb, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Miles Davis???? The most talented group of blokes that have ever existed. This album just feels like blokes who know what they are doing and know they are onto something huge. Blue in Green is insane, but i dont think i can pick a favourite. Imagine hearing this in 1959 in some dingy fucking bar in New York. Transportive and atmospheric and just genius music. 100/5

The definitive British soul album, her voice is absolutely insane and every track is just so smooth and sexy. Could listen to this album at any time and it would make me feel better.

Not his best, not his worst. Feels like a mid choice to be on this list. Me and Julio is massive though

To me its like if Motley Crueueue were good. Animal is such a massive 80s banger. Pour some sugar on me is a timeless perverts classic. A lot of the music is kind of samey, yes, but the poor fucker only has one arm. The album is a lot of fun, big time. Sick album art as well.

The greatest ever songwriter in the English language at the height of her powers, this is such a big album, i feel like so much modern music owes a lot to Kate Bush and specifically this album. I could write 10,000 words on how much this album means to me but no one cares. Hard to pick a favourite song, but its between Cloudbusting and The Big Sky. 2000/5

Huge, I can't believe its 1973 it sounds so much latter, what a fucking cool band, you could argue that Trash is the first punk song. Davey Johansen was a cool frontman.

He’s good isn’t he, he’s got a lot of massive songs. Don’t feel like this is the best collection of his songs. But it’s not half bad

It was fine, deep purple make fine music, there isn’t a lot to shout about in this but it’s not awful. Child in Time is fun though

What can you say really, what a world class album. The man is a genius. I’ve forgotten how good this album is, there is so much emotion in this album. What a 90s this band had. I don’t think I can pick a favourite song, but Zero might be as close to a perfect song as it’s possible to get.

The number of the beast is alright, but this album is a stinker for stinkers. They sound so much like spinal tap or a parody of actual music it’s hard to take seriously. At least there are some decent riffs

There are undeniably some big tracks on here. I’d say half the album is good half is bad, the less said about Tom Morello the better though. Best track: Bullet in the head

It’s quite a boring album let’s be honest. White winter hymnal is a pleasant song, but I think that’s the best this album can be, pleasant.

Moody, Angsty, Atmospheric, a very good album. Also Hurt is just such a ridiculously good song

There is white bartender somewhere out there who thinks this is the greatest/coolest album ever made. But that’s the problem it’s sort of performatively moody and dark and cool, it just feels a bit lame.

What is there to say really? One of the most influential albums of the era, they really set the tone for British music for the next couple of decades. It’s so powerful and haunting, everything sounds so sparse like it’s played in a big empty warehouse. Best tracks: Colony or Decades

Not as good as the first album TBF, but I still got a lot of love for Steve Winwood. All his tracks are class, but i'm not as keen on the other guys voice. 50% love and 50 % meh. Medicated Goo is lush. 3.9/5

They are fun kind of silly songs, lots of good memories attached to them for sure, but its just not really my bag I don't think. Best song: Clint Eastwood, Obvs

Impossible to not love Chris Cornell’s voice, but most the songs are pretty boring tbf. It’s sounds very of its time, like a lot of grunge albums, but unlike the great grunge albums it not in a good way. Fell on black days and black hole sun do an incredible amount of the heavy lifting on this album, but they are so good. X

Its just 60s pop, and covers of 50s songs. I can't really say its bad at all, but its not exactly amazing either is it. Its just music, impressive they are so young and stuff and i imagine at the time it was very cool. Best song: Please Mister Postman, but mainly cus it reminds me of that vine

Absolute guff, there is a reason no one has heard of, or talks about the Beau fucking Brummels, and that is that they stink. Dull as dishwater, dweeb music, the kind of music that you put on whilst driving around San Francisco in the 60s, and hope the Zodiac killer finally puts you out of your misery. Magic Hollow is the one saving grace on this album. Just put something 4 the weekend on repeat instead.

No skips, no notes, no nuffink. Its a perfect album, could listen again and again and again. It could be the most influential album of any one genre, like electronic music and dance music doesn't exist without this album. These German lads were about 200 years ahead of their time. Every song is perfect but i think Neon Lights is beyond anything else.

Its good stuff isnt it, this must have been so much fun when it came out. It is maybe the most 2001 album. There are so many good riffs generally i do enjoy the vibe of this album a lot, i think it lacks a bit of quality on the 2nd half of the album though. Best Track: Fell in love with a girl, obviously.

If not the best hip hop album ever, it is definitely the most interesting, it so so weird and scary and dark, it doesn't sound like anything else. Its such an instant classic, ODB is one of the greatest of all time. Da Mystery of Chessboxin will always be my personal fav, but i think CREAM is one of the best songs ever.

The best punk album by the best punk band. Three Girl Rumba into Ex Lion Tamer into Lowdown is an insane run of tracks. This album sounds like it came out this year still. It is so beyond its time its unreal. I love this album so much, reminds me of my Dad and Uncle. Its so cool and fun and aggressive, he has one of my favourite voices in music, just lovely shouting. 48/5 Best Track: Mannequin? Three Girl Rumba? Pink Flag? Literally take your pic

I'm sure this is someone's cup of tea but it isn't mine. It sounds like songs I would skip on Fifa street. I can appreciate it but it does nothing for me I'm afraid. Best Track: Epoca, because it reminds me of Come dine with me.

Its a very nice album, she has such a bizarre and haunting voice. Its a iconic album from the maddest/ coolest time and place to be a musician. These days is one of the most affecting songs of all time as well. I do feel its quite a samey album as well so it doesn't get full marks.

It does suck, i find my self defending Queen a lot, and i don't even like them that much. Killer Queen is good, but this isn't a good album. Its very OTT and the music is a bit cheesy, its just not really for me.

What an album its so good, its a nice start to the album but the second half really cements it as a legendary album. Jamming - One Love is just an insane run of tracks. It really epitomises reggae and the time so well. Best track: Jamming/ Waiting in Vain

It's so good, this was my favourite album when I was 16 i reckon, still huge for me. It is so emotive and visceral. He is a genius and this is him at the top of his powers. Its such a hipster album obviously, but it moves me. Also i think it should be an hour longer IMHO. Too many favourite songs and they all have stupid long titles, so I will say John Wayne Gacey is the best.

Really like this album, its good a very unique neo soul spacey kind of vibe to it. Its a lot of fun, he's such a good songwriter. Rolling is a great track as is hard to say goodbye.

It was alright. Nothing to write home about. A well made album but I’m not gonna rush to put it on again.

Some bangers, but I’m not a huge fan of this album in general it’s got some of his weaker songs as well. Superstition is obviously an all time track.

Massive. It’s one of the best debuts. But I still can’t be fucking arsed to have the conversation. There is no greater ender to an album than Free bird. These southern boys loved riffs so much and the world is a better place for it. Best Song: Do I need to even put an answer here????

I didn't like this album, its a bit cheesy and muzaky for me. It feels like listening to a slightly better simply red. A Gospel was a low point as well. I'm not a Paul Weller fan at the best of times, but that was a hard listen. Best Song: Headstart for Happiness.

I do have a soft spot for this album and Jay Z, i don't think its his best but all the beats are so good and i think its very fun. It weirdly sounds so dated though. I enjoyed this listen a lot though don't think I've listened to this all the way through since i was about 14. Best Songs: Blueprint or Izzo

It’s truly one of the best albums of the 90’s. I can’t imagine how good it felt to listen to this for the first time when it came out. Must have properly felt like a shift, like music was changing. It’s such a uniquely cool album. I remember the first time my brother showed me Dummy (it’s a very older brother album to show someone) it felt like the coolest music i had ever listened to and it still does tbf. Best song: hard to pick, but Sour Times for me

It stinks, but not as bad as i thought it would. Its the sort of psychedelic music that i don't like and as much as i try i can't separate the art from the artist with Clapton, he's an absolute bell and i can fell it in his dad rock. It's just cheesy riffs to me.

Just unbelievable song, no one encapsulates the ridiculous of being English better than Ray Davies. Its a perfect album, and could very well be one of the best of the 60's. Its so beautiful and funny and playful and sad, its the whole range of what should be good about music. The Kinks will always have such a big part of my heart, and this album has a lot to do with it. Best Song: The village green preservation society, but special mention for Picture Book and Animal Farm, also Big Sky is insane..... and Starstruck and Last of the Steam powered trains

What can you say that we haven't said to each other a million times before. Its a work of art, its easily there most fun album i think. So many good tracks, by the greatest band ever at the peak of their powers. I don't need to write much for this review, i just love this album so much. Best Song: I think...... Juxtaposed with you

I would like to start this review my saying fuck Breandan White and fuck Liam McConnachie. It's a great album, an amazing album even, but I don't think its a perfect album. It has the greatest opener of all time maybe, and there are so many highlights but a few lulls as well... Nightrain/ Anything Goes/ You're Crazy i think hold this back from full marks. Which unfortunately means it is not the greatest debut of all time. CASE CLOSED. Best track: Paradise City

It was a pretty fun album, I think it gets old pretty quickly, but it’s been a bit of a breath of fresh air and pretty different compared to most of the stuff we have listened to so far. He also looks hard as fuck on the album cover. El Harba Wine was my favourite

It's fine, its your older cousin who smokes too much weed music. He is obviously an incredible guitar player, but his songwriting is not great. I do love little wing and bold as love though.

I like the music, but i really can’t get on board with his voice. He’s a great songwriter and the songs are fun, but I find him grating. Nick Lowe Produced it and he’s the GOAT though. Pump it up is a great tune though.

It’s my issue and I get that but I can’t enjoy this album at all, partly because I despise Eric Clapton partly because the music is shite old dad rock. Layla is maybe the most overplayed song ever. Goodbye.

It's his best album, before any of the weirdness comes in, just pure funky soul R&B. Its impossible to not want to dance to this. I could listen to it all day, its such easy listening, you can really see why he is the king of pop. What a voice. Best song: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough. I think its his best ever song.

A completely mid album. Most of the time this album is annoying but at other times it’s boring. I’m not a Taylor Swift hater, this just isn’t a very good album. Shake it off the one of the all time pop songs.

The good songs are obvs very good, but i do feel there is a lot of filler on here as. Also I always wish i was listening to Bon Scott over Brain Johnson. Let me put my love into you has got to be one of the most repulsive song names of all time as well. Back in Black is the best song on the album.

Another collection of fine songs, I always thought I liked beck? But he’s pretty average, it’s not a bad album it’s just a bit boring I think. Best song: Earthquake Weather

Defined an era, defined a sound. One of the most English sounding albums ever. It’s so good, the beats are all insane and he is well funny. Best track: fix up look sharp

Its decent isnt it, it makes me long for a kind of music that doesn't exist anymore. Eple threw me back into early 2000's and gave me whiplash. No one makes chill out music any more, and maybe that's what the world needs. Not really, chill out music is boring, a bit like this album.

Can't really fault it, it feels like dance music from a PS2 game. It got me and the old ball and chain dancing in the office on a Thursday morning. Not all the songs were great, but enough of them were very fun and made me enjoy the album a lot.

I didn't like it, but i enjoyed it more than i thought i would. Every song is too long, too annoying and over the top, its funny at times which is the only way i got through it. I did enjoy 2 out of 3 aint bad though, that was a big highlight.

No notes. Its a perfect album, and not even their best. 4 Canadian Dudes and 1 American created the Americana genre. Its such easy listening, Richard Manuel and Rick Danko have two of the most beautiful voices of all time. The whole band is so talented and this album is just amazing. I don't think there is a more influential song than The Weight either, it might be the greatest bit of songwriting ever.

I enjoyed this, you can really feel the influence they had on grunge from this. It was a lot of fun, and super moody. I'm not a huge fan of his voice, but overall i enjoyed this album a fair bit. Best song: Madonna, Sean and Me

Not my kind of Jazz, its kinda fun, but kinda samey. I could listen to it but its nothing to write home about for me.

You'd be hard pressed to find a sexier album. Marvin Gaye is such an unbelievable songwriter, to the point where he is sort of underrated. He should be spoken about more, saying that i don't think this is his best. Nonetheless it still has some bangers. Obviously lets get it on is the best song

The cokiest Bowie album by far. First 3 tracks are just absolutely unreal, I feel the next 3 aren't amazing but, still work and are very atmospheric and mad for this album. Best Track: Golden Years

It's Brexit rock at its finest. It's so fucking long and so fucking boring. At least it has a quick one whilst he's away, which in my opinion is their best song.

It's just not for me, I get the kind of person this is for and the kind of music that it's trying to be, but for me, it's just not it. It all feels a bit try hard, It's very 2007 sounding and feeling, and not in a good way. Golden Skans is a banger though.

Incredible songwriting, he really set the bar for what a song can make you feel and be about. I can't think of two more culturally significant songs to modern music than, take a Walk on the Wild Side and Perfect day. Dark subject matter, but he puts it in the most beautiful way, always. Best Track: I think it could be satellite of love? Is that mad to say?

Again feel mad to give a Beatles album this rating but it just doesn’t move me in anyway whatsoever, I don’t think it’s bad at all but it doesn’t do anything for me. It’s obviously some perfectly made pop songs, but that is it. Best song: Norwegian Wood

It’s my least favourite Bowie album we have had so far. I liked a few songs, but this isn’t one of my favourite Bowie sounds if I am honest. Best song: Heat

So many memories. It’s so fun, I wouldn’t say it’s class the whole way through, but it makes you want to dance. Best song: right here right now

It’s quite cool, but it sounds like a massive rip off of Pere Ubu to me. I like big Jesus Trash can and Hamlet

So much fun, Jorge Ben is fucking class. Imagine not being able to shake your white boy booty to this.

Funky and fun, it’s maybe a little bit cheesy in a way though? A bit soft jazzy at times, lil something from a restaurant in then 70s in America? It’s very easy listening though, you wouldn’t turn it off, and it gets you tapping your feet.

This was class, it’s more than R&B and funk they are such a good band together, amazing harmonies and Ernie Isley is a outrageous guitar player.

He’s at his best when he sound like JJ Cale, so this isn’t Claptons worst, but it’s still Clapton so it’s not good

Fuck me I forgot what a good album this is, every song is a perfect banger. He’s insane, he does simple stuff better than anyone. Best song has to be down by the river.

It goes against, what we have said about 5-star albums needing to be wall-to-wall bangers, because, I don't think this is. The good songs are just so fucking good you don't really care about anything else. Best Song: Live Forever

Another Neil Young album, another 5/5. He is untouchable really, I think this could be his best album. It's so angry and so beautiful at the same time. I think Southern Man exemplifies everything he and this album is about and does it so well.

Decent stuff, all kind of OK with a few stand out tracks, it's not their best album. It also isn't their worst. 'A' Bomb in Wardour Street, English Rose and Down in the Tube Station at Midnight all very strong.

Two legends, but this album isn't really my bag. Very similar songs, and longer than i would like.

Just an absolute hit machine, all funky all good times all of the time. Nile Rodgers is so cool and so important in modern music, he created a sound, a vibe. Best track: Lost in Music

WHO WANTS THE FUNK. Me I do, I always will, I needs the funk. It's world-class, it's so fun, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins are well funny as well. Toe tapping and shaking my booty all morning. Best Track: Unfunky UFO

It's a perfectly lovely album, but it's not my usual type of Jazz. Very easy listening and nice to listen to during the day, though. The drum solo in Time Out really scratches my brain in a spectacular way

FUCK RYAN ADAMS

His voice becomes quite grating after a while. I like some of this album but a lot of it is very similar, the beats are a lot of fun, and there is great use of the Brazilian whistle in there. Also Bongo Bong is so fucking massive

I don’t mind J5, but this album doesn’t do a lot for me. It’s a little bit too much on the conscious hiphop scale for me, overall it’s not a bad album, but I don’t think I’d reach to chuck it on.

She is the best, I miss her so much. It's a very good album, i know it goes without saying but her voice is ridiculous. Amy Amy Amy is a lovely tuene

I do love Bill Callahan, he has so many good songs, as Smog and just as solo stuff, hes such a unique and interesting songwriter and this is a great show case of his abilities. Sometimes though, i feel he tries to be too interesting, where it doesn't quite land, which is also the case here sometimes. But overall its a very good album i think. Best Track: Eid Ma Clack Shaw

It stinks and i hate it, I'm not going to be grown up about it. Matt Bellamy makes virgin music. Its so lame, every riff stinks, and the music puts me in a bad mood

I liked the first song and the last song. Everything in-between was immensely mid. It wasn't a bad album, wasn't a good album, it was just an album.

Massive Riffs, massive emotions, its such a good album the first 5 songs are just bang bang bang bang bang. A phenomenal band, and this is their best album. Best Track: Pictures of you

It could be my new favourite live album, I was blown away by it, I don't think I've ever heard a man so in charge of a crowd. He has such a phenomenal voice and presence, singing some absolutely beautiful songs. I enjoyed this so much. Best Song: Superb Version of Twistin the night away

These guys wrote one song and just ran with it, Luckily that song was decent. It's obviously a massively important album in punk history, don't know if that necessarily means its great, but i do know every song is a lot of fun. Best Track: Beat on the Brat

At best it was shit, at its worst it was unlistenable prog slop. Best Track: Anything after the twenty minute one

The 4th Best Pink Floyd album, It's very good its very enjoyable. It's also a bit boring at times. Wish you were here, is one of the all time songs tbf.

Really wanted to like this album, but it was exceptionally mid. They are perfectly pleasant country tunes, but nothing that really gets you excited.

Entirely too long and the bangers were too few and far between

If this album gets in, we are going to have some absolute stinkers on here. A mid bands worst offering.

It's not even in his top 5 albums for me, but it is still 5/5, its an incredible showcase of writing, not one has ever written anything like this since. Best Track: It's all over now baby Blue

Pure nostalgia, the album sounds like summer. The big tracks on this album are so massive, but the rest are a bit boring.

A genre defining album, with some huge tracks on it. Very easy listening and chilled out music, you could put this album on anywhere and 9/10 times people love it. Sometimes it is a bit too chill and gets a bit slow and boring but that is the nature of this kind of music somtimes. Best Track: Porcelain

Really mid, i've heard so many people rave about this album but i just don't get it? It wasn't bad, but i am never going to rush to listen to it again.

I didnt mind this, i really wanted to love it, and it kept on threatening to be really good. It sounded a bit like so many things i love, Ween, SFA, Stone Roses, 60s psych, but sort of landed flat with a lot of it. I wouldn't rush to chuck it on again, but i didnt mind it.

Riffs, loads of riffs, the greatest stepdad-core album of all time. They essentially perfected their sound in the first song and repeat it for the whole album but its so good it doesn't matter. The meeting place between punk, metal and rock. Best Track: It's always going to be ace of spades, but we are the road crew is class as well

Kind of forgot how many massive bangers there are on this album. I think finally as a world, we are realising that Neil Young is the greatest to ever do it. All music is Neil Young, he's the best, the other 3 are alright as well. I think CSNY have even better harmonies than the Eagles. Our House is such a beautiful tune, but the best song is, OBVIOUSLY, almost cut my hair.

This sort of theatre-kid rock, is in the meatloaf mold to me, it's very hard to listen to at times. I'd say the only highlights are you're my best friend and Bohemian Rhapsody. No one likes the song i'm in love with my car

A nice listen, I had never heard it before but thoroughly enjoyed it. Very chilled music but obviously an important album and message. Best Track: Bow

Not for me, forgettable neo soul r&b slop, feel like i've heard all of these songs before but done better

Never been a massive Siouxsie fan, didnt mind this album but it doesnt stand out that much to me either. Spellbound is a fun song though

Its their best album, its mostly bangers and then like all doors albums there is the odd absolute stinker. Its got a real sound and vibe to this album and i do love it, they really are the coolest band in the world when you're 14. Best Track: Peace Frog, its one of the all time tunes.

Incredibly boring for me, everyone in year 8 loved this album but i feel like it might not have aged great, it feels very 2010s. I think there is a nice overall vibe to the album but generally every song is pretty dull to me and there aren't many standouts

It’s enjoyable, but it’s nothing special to me, the songs are all pretty similar, it’s not the best Curtis mayfield album by a long stretch.

It's synthpop to me, it can never be much higher than a 3 star. I'll be honest this is a good example of synthpop, but it is still nothing that amazing. I will say there are some fantastic song titles on here though

Nice album, very sad songs, very sort of samey after about the 5th song, it's weird how this is sort of TikTok music now? I don't mind radiohead, but don't think i ever fully got them, its a good album but i'm not rushing to put it on again.

Marginally better than the last radiohead album we had, but it still doesn't get me excited. I like half the songs and no surprises in particular

Angels and Let me entertain you. That's it. The rest of them fell like a cocaine infused britpop fever dream. The stangelhold this man had on the country is absolutey fascinating. Thank god Angels and Let me entertain you are fucking class

A collection of cool, psychadelic hippy 60s hits, Love are so underappreciated i feel, Arthur Lee was the man. The last song was a massive highlight for me, it felt very special.

It's superb its wall to wall bangers, a huge start and a massive finish. It is hard to pick a favourite song on this, its such a great album as a whole thing, it all flows so well together. Moonage Daydream does stand out to me as particularly special though.

Really good gear, PJ Harvey is Dorset's second finest export behind Thomas Hardy. I love this album its a lot of fun, its got a really unique vibe about it, whilst at the same time being extremely 2000s

A very good album, but not their best. I think it has a really good sound and feel this album, it really makes me think of how underrated Peter Buck is as a guitarist. Best track: Has to be orange crush surely? Special shout out to stand though as it inspired Weird Al's banger, Spam.

What a massive track maps is. This isn't my sort of music, but i can definitely appreciate this album and it is a good example of the genre. I find this sort of 2000s dance/indie/whatever it is a bit tiresome but this is a decent album.

It sucks and it's class at the same time. The bangers are massive and the bad songs are terrible, but somehow it's just the same song over again. This is maybe the most defining album of the 80s, in the fact it is the most 80s sounding album. Best Track: Obvs livin on a prayer

I'll always love DBT. The meme at the moment is that it all music is sort of just Neil Young, but i think a lot of modern alt/country music is DBT (are who are just Neil Young), but i feel they still deserve a lot of praise. To me its a perfect album. It's a great story and i love that to DBT the entire history and culture of the south boils down to Lynard Skynard. Best Track: Zip City is one of the all time songs to me

What can you say about it, they are american rock distilled, very american, very rock. They have some GODDAMN harmonies and they are a lot of fun, but i still feel like i can't ever truly say i love the eagles. There is always something that doesn't fully align with me. Best Track: Hotel California obvs

Is this the best iron maiden album? Is Bruce Dickinson the problem? I enjoyed this a lot more than i thought i would, it still wasn't great i think iron maiden are a bit crap generally, but this was the most enjoyable album ive heard from them, I definitely prefer this singer to BD. Best song: Running Free

I do kind of have a soft spot for this album i think most of it is average but the stand outs are so good; Sledgehammer, Don't Give Up and In Your Eyes. Peter Gabriel knows his way around a pop song, i still think you can feel his influence in modern pop here and there

A very important and fun hiphop album, there are so many quoteable and culturally important bits in here. I think its a pretty samey album as well, but its still very fun. Bes track: Work It

Enjoyable, it's good music, it's quite samey, but i can see how hugely influential it is, a lot of music still wants to sound like this but doesn't succeed. It is a kind of music that doesn't do much for me though

There is something deeply cringe about James Murphy to me, he makes (and often steals) great beats, but i don't like when he opens his mouth on the songs particularly. All my friends is obviously a hugely important tune to a lot of people and is a very good song though. I can sort of do without this album though

I think it's a very good album, I think You Can Call Me Al is maybe the greatest song of the 80s and that is the reason for the 4 star review. Special mention for Diamonds On the Soles of her Shoes which is on any other album easily the best track. The rest of the album is a bit much at times, fretless bass heaven

Good stuff, he has always been such a weird and important force in music, this album really is the best of what he can do. It maybe could be a couple of song shorter? But generally its a great listen. Best song: Headache

X are good, but I do feel like if you've heard one X song you've heard them all. I did enjoy this album and think their voices work so well together they have got a very cool sound, but its a very repetitive sound

Easy 5, could listen to it forever, every song is perfect. I love how electronic it starts and the way it ends with the flutes, feeling very pastoral, like going back in time. It could be one of the all time best albums, it's just absolutely genius, blows my mind it came out in 1974.

Genius, sort of transcends anything else we have listened to so far, just absolutely incredible music, so atmospheric and moody and dramatic. Miles was the cooest man of all time

Really beautiful music, but its not for me, its too classical and too sort of long winded for me to really get behind. Plus i think he cums his jeans about 4 times in the hour long set.

Good Solid Blues, Muddy Waters is the man, what a guitar player. Its got so much attitude and so much grit. The bloke knows his way around a guitar as well. Best track: Mannish Boy

Not really my bag, it had some nice bits but generally a bit boring for me. Not a tremendous amount to right home about. Feels like it would benefit from another lsiten, but i'm not drawn to to it enough

Very good stuff, very underrated i think. It's Sikh britpop and that's pretty fucking cool. I don't think much has sounded like this since, it feels like an incredibly important British album, they sound like a Desi version of the super furry animals. Also what the fuck is allen Ginsberg doing here.

What a corker of an album. So many bangers, 1977 but it feels so modern. Punk had only just come in, and here was Iggy doing his own mental thing. Hard to pick a favourite song but Fall in Love With Me is an outrageously good song.

This is a bit early James Brown for me. I liked it but it didnt get me off my arse like most James Brown usually would.

Some big bangers on here, some less big bangers as well. What a voice, what a woman

I love this album,. so much and lived it even more when i was younger. This listen through, whilst still being very very good it just didnt have the same oomph that it used to. Lauryn Hill is so fucking talented, and this album is so good almost excluisvely because of her. Hard to pick a favourite track: Probably ready or not, but i've always had a soft spot for the ridiculous cover of No Woman, No Cry

Put 3 massive bangers as the first 3 tracks, then provide absolutely nothing for the rest of the album. Best track: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

It's just so cool, and so atmospheric, there isn't another album that sounds like this or that encapsulates a vibe as well as this. This sort of changed everything, i think so much is inpsired by this. Best Track: Unfinished Sympathy obviously

The bangers are massive, the non bangers are forgettable, but its outrageous how many of bangers ABBA had. They had a stranglehold on pop music for so long. Best track: Knowing me, Knowing you AHA!

Pretty difficult listen at times and sounded like a really bad musical at other times. It's not really music that i enjoy, but i thought the band and instrumentation was really cool but the songs as a whole didn't do anything for me

Enjoyable chill out music, not much more to it. Natural wine and small plates kinda music. You'd never ask for it to be turned off but, you're not gonna rush to ask to put it on either. Inoffensive but a very chilled and enjoyable listen as well.

This was a lot of fun, not my usual bag, and it can't imagine ill chuck it on again soon, but it was a fun listen. Music that is impossible to feel sad to.

It's a big album but feels a bit dated now. Lots of big important tracks, but it feels very 80s compared to a lot of stuff from a similar time. Dr Dre really is a fucking genius though. Bes Track: Fuck Tha Police

What more do you want, its got everything you need, its so good. They were so good, it's so much fun. Fucking get in. Best Track: Hard to choose, but Suicide is so good on this album

Not his best, not even close to his best, it doesn't even really have any recognisable hits on it. Sometimes it was nice but generally pretty boring. I really like the second track though

Absolutely honking cheesy butt rock, just a shit sounding lame Rolling Stones. This feels like the cast of How i Met your Mother's favourute band. Truly lame advert rock.

Really good stuff, listened to it recently and enjoyed it, enjoyed on this listen to. Really great gear

Coldplay were decent back in the day, they have so much promise, before Chris Martin became the worlds most irritating bell sniff. What an album this is, the big tracks are so good, it falls of a bit on the second half of the album, but first 5 tracks are great. Best Track: God put a smile upon your face

Massive keys, massive sax, massive everything tbf. Could be his best songwriting. It's such a fun punchy album. It's so fucking cool. Best Track: Thunder Road or Jungleland

Geno is a hell of a track. The rest of this album is ruined by Kevin Rowlands stupid voice

One of those album people just absolutely adore, and i feel like i am missing out on. Its a good album and i enjoyed it, but I feel like it isn't as good as everyone else says??

Honking album, but roundabout is an absolute banger so it gets a 2 star.

One of the best live albums around, he's having so much fun. I think the crowd makes it, they aren't yelling like a standard crowd, they sound like a raucous group of prisoners.

It is obviously a 5/5. It is probably the best album we have had so far. 8 5/5 tracks in a row. Groundbreaking music, so far ahead of itself for 1970. You could run out of words to describe quite how good it is. Best Track: Impossible to pick, Iron Man?

Fun album, feels like i am sat in a restaurant on holiday. It's all a bit the same but at least its all fun.

A lot of fuzz, a lot of fun. TV Eye is a great track, maybe their best track. Early Stooges really were the forefathers to a load of the music I fucking love. This is a quick punchy enjoyable listen.

Big band big fun, I can't remember the last time i wanted to chuck a Ray Charles album on, so i am glad this came up. It was jazzy and lovely and i will definitely listen again. Best Track: It had to be you

It isn't even their best album and it is still one of the all time best albums. Some of their more poetic and beautiful songs on here, which i am all for TBF. Best Track: Pale Blue Eyes

What a voice, what a a woman. Really simple and beautiful music, haven't had much sound like this for a long time, its a sound i long for every now and then.

A masterclass in song writing, think this album when it came out made him the greatest song writer on earth. Not saying he had that title forever, but he held it after this album was released for sure. Beauitful and sad and sexy the way all good Leonard Cohen songs should be. Best Track: It's like choosing a favourite child? Maybe So Long, Marianne

I enjoyed this, was psychy fun. At times the long tracks felt like they built to not much pay off but i think it was a good album, a bit different.

A pleasant enough listen, their is a sound to a lot of the Morrisey stuff i don't like so much. Can't put my finger on it all the time though. Feels a bit overproduced this album? It's a bit clean soundng? Couple of good songs on it though Best Track: We Hate it When Our Friends Become Successful

A lovely listen, a lot of fun. He really was a cut above from everyone else. You could just listen to this all day. Best Track: Stir it up

Not their best, some pretty cheese songwriting hear, but still solids pop songs.

Some fun covers, and i like the general vibe of the album but it isn't anything to write home about.

I enjoyed this when I did the pitch from bracket thing so I have listened to it recently, I also think this is the latest album on the whole list. It’s good stuff

It’s got some good songs on it, I think Stairway to Heaven is one of the all time most overrated songs of all time though

I remember this album blowing my trousers clean off when I was about 10, it is still pretty decent but doesn’t have the same impact. Highly Evolved is a great track

Don't mind it but it doesn't blow me away. It is a nice enough listen, and i do like her voice a lot it's very unique

What an album, i don't think it is The Mothers strongest, but i bet THE MAN won't put any others on here.

Genuinely the most bizarre concept for an album, like most albums by the Who, Entwhistle and Moon carry it whilst the other two are annoying throughout. Pinball Wizard - great. Amazing Journey - ok. Fiddle about - mental.

I love Outkast so much, Stankonia is a great example of what they are good at, kinda funny kinda mad hiphop. I think this is their 3rd best album? Maybe 4th? Best Track: We Luv Deez Hoez

Enjoyed this, she has such a unique way of writing a song, their is a lot of humour and emotion in almost every line. My only issue is that their are times in the album that it gets a little bit boring, but i think the big tracks make up for this.

Bristol distilled into an album, it's very atmospheric and moody andcool. I don't think i'm chucking it that often, but it was nice to listen to.

Superb album, superb song writer, one of Englands very best. Although i think this is probably their third best album. Best Track: Help the aged

Might be his all time masterpiece, it is such a good album, it is so different to anything else he was known for at this point. Really established himself as one of the all time American songwriters with this one. Best track: Atlantic City or Highway Patrolman

It's a soft and esy listening folk album, i don't love it, i don't hate it. I prefer Paul Simons solo stuff. Mrs Robinson does an incredible amount of heavy lifting on this album

What can you say. It is a perfect timeless soft boy masterpiece. It was my whole being for a long period of my life, a game changer. He has the perfect voice. I can listen to this all day every day. Best Track: Last Goodbye

Fun, weird house music. Enjoyable but it did not need to be that long

So fucking good, i love this album so much. Reminds me off a very specific time of my life. It was my introducion to this kind of post rock music that I love so much now. Djed is a superb track.

The first half of the album is unbelievably mid but the second half redeems it. When doves cry is a banger and I would Die 4 U are so good. Then obviously Purple Rain is an outrageously good song that really redeems the whole album.

It is a great album, they are right in their groove in this album. I think it it quite a front loaded album, first 5 songs are amazing but it drops off a bit towards the end. Best Track: Crosseyed and Painless

It is OK, it's very listenable and chilled i get why people like it so much, but most of it lands a bit flat for me

It is really good stuff, I don't think it is their best album, but it is definitely their angriest and moodiest.

I didn't love it but there were definitely some good bits, i like his lyrics but don't love the general sound/ feel of the album that much

Pretty mid actually, Walk of life is fantastic and Money for Nothing is a lot of fun but other than that there isn't a lot to this album

A lot of bangers, this is the whole of the 90s distilled into an album. I can see why it was so massive, the big songs are very good and big for obvious reasons. I think her song writing is a little bit bizzare at times, but i think that is part of the charm

I like Lanagans voice but this album doesn't do much for me, it is pretty middle of the road grungey rock, nothing to write home about

Incredible, genuinely the most fun you can have listening to music. The beats are insane for 1986, it makes you laugh it makes you want to dance it is untouchable.

It is OK, it's maybe their 4th best album. It starts strong with Love Vigilantes, but then it becomes pretty boring pretty quickly

Beer commercial music, a bit too chilled and middle of the road to grab the attention for any period of time. Innofensive, but you didn't want to turn it off

So so so good, weird as fuck punk that makes you feel uncomfortable , American music at its best at times. Best track: Human Cannonball

Its far too long, and his voice is far too annoying. Houses of the Holy and Kashmir are good, the entire second half of the album i can do with out though.

Beach Boys at their best are incredible, this unfortunately is very middle of the road and not their best.

Fun stuff, we were dancing in the office. Very easy to listen to but not something i am going to reach for again that often

It is so good, she is my favourite songwriter ever i think. The sensual world, The fog, reaching out are all incredible tracks, but imagine writing this womans works. Don't think i have ever not cried at that song. Such a beautiful and powerful album

A very enjoyable album, he is a great song writer, i should really listen to Wilco more

Not their best, definitely not their worst, not particularly good though.

Never really got the Cars always found them a bit boring, this album has done nothing to change that opinion

Not his best album by any stretch, the softer songs are pretty unbearable, but the big songs are obviously huge

Absolutely world class, so fun so mental so dark, imagine going nuts to this back in the day

Wayne Shorter is maybe the greatest Sax player of all time, then you chuck Jaco Pastorius in there and you're gonna have a bloody good time. Jazz Fusion at its funnest and best i think.

It's such a fun stupid album that could only be made in the 90's. I don't really think its a 4 star album but my heart refuses to give it any lower. Obviously the best track is Scooby Snacks

I am not a fan of PIL, and i have never really understood the vibe, at its best its boring and at its worst its quite annoying

Haven't listened to much Lorde before but i did like this

Its certainly not their worst, but i still don't enjoy listening to it that much. First half of the album is pretty good but the second half ruins it a bit. I think I cruicially just can't get on board with his fucking voice

It's a fun album, i like the more garage vibe tracks though. They are clearly a very good band, and she had such a unique voice for the time. It was a good album but don't think its the kind of thing i will rush to put on again

Simply had too many Led Zep albums recently. This is definitely their most Dad rock album for sure, which i don't necessarily think is a bad thing, because i think its one of their best. Moby Dick is such a massive track

A great album, i don't remember it being this short though, it has such an incredible mood and vibe all leading to the Killing Moon. So atmospheric, so good, one of the best bands of the 80s easily.

Dull, not their best by any metric. Just the same vibe riff over and over.

I can appreciate her voice, but the music is just not for me, its too much.

Superb stuff, Waterfall is one of the all time pop songs. Great tracks, great voices, just a lot of fun all round

I fucking absolutely love this, its punk its sort of power poppy, its ultimately a lot of fun. Fergal Sharky has such a good voice for this sort of music. I love it all. Teenage Kicks is one of the most important songs ever i think.

Really not good stuff

A lot of boring tunes at the start of the album unfortunately, but the second half of the album is absolutely lovely and i think that is my new favourite version of unchained melody
