1001 Albums Summary

Didn't like them at the time, this listen hasn't change that. Nothing stands out except Maybe This Hollywood Life. Sub-Bowie, identity-less dull pastiche. What I have heard of Butler's other work is more interesting than this. 2 Head before? No Owned: No 0/1001, 0/1 Will I get? No Recommend: No

First 2 tracks are obviously great. Disco classics. The rest is pleasant enough. Loses some steam on Side 2. Can hear the formation of a lot of Jackson's sound for the next decade. 3.5 Heard before? Not really, 2 of the singles Owned: No 0/1001, 0/2 Will I get? No Recommend: Sure

Dylan's best 70's album. Tangled up in Blue may be his best song. Each track is great, showcasing a renewed lyrical strength and a mostly stripped back instrumentation. I even like the much maligned Lily, rosemary and the Jack of hearts! The only thing better (to me) is the original 1974 test pressing. 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 1/1001, 1/3 (33%) Will I get? Have several copies already! Recommend: Yes

Somewhat dated, Hill is the star obviously. 3/5 Heard before? Just the singles Owned: No 1/1001, 1/4 (25%) Will I get? No Recommend: No

Works great as straight up hard rock, or as hard rock parody. 7 songs, 4 bangers. A fun album for sure. 4/5 Heard before? Just the singles Owned: No. 1/1001, 1/5 (20%) Will I get? Maybe Recommend: Yes

I have heard other Mayfield albums, of course, this is a bit more laid back album, less pulsating bombastic. Solid funk. So in Love is a standout. Seems good but maybe not essential Mayfield. 3.5 - rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No. 1/1001, 1/6 (16%) Will I get? No Recommend: Sure

There was a time I listened to the doors, mostly their first album. This has a nice balance of blues, rock, and balladry. The best album I have heard of theirs Let down by the side 2. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? A couple of songs Owned: No. 1/1001, 1/7 (14%) Will I get? No Recommend: Sure

I know the name, but I'm not sure I've ever heard any Steve Winwood. You definitely know, you are in the 80's from the first note. Something about the cleanliness of the sounds I don't like, but that could be my own 80 bias even though this is only 1980. Reminds of Peter Gabriel, but maybe it should be the other way around. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No. 1/1001, 1/8 (12.5%) Will I get? No Recommend: No

Not sure how I missed this album. Selma's songs was the last album I listened to by Bjork, was a big fan of her previous 3 albums. I was even listening to Matmos at the time. Anyway this is a fantastic album, flows really well, maybe lacks a peak, but great beats and lyrics, and her voice of course! 4 Heard before? Not really Owned: No. 1/1001, 1/9 (11%) Will I get? Yes (1/9) Recommend: Sure

I remember when this was everywhere. The singles definitely stand out. Like most double albums it seems bloated. This one I will need to return to. 3/5 Heard before? The singles Owned: No. 1/1001, 1/10 (10%) Will I get? No Recommend:

Starts with Worf, so already a winner. Can sound a little dated and a little unvaried, but still plenty of solid beats and rhythms. First Orbital album is better though. 3.5 - rounded up Heard before? Yes, a long time ago Owned: No. 1/1001, 1/11 (8.5%) Will I get? No Recommend: Sure

Not a Stooges album I have or have heard before. More consistent than some of their others, lacks some of the highs though. The sax brings side 2 to another level! 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No. 1/1001, 1/12 (8%) Will I get? No Recommend: Sure

Starts with an absolute classic! Country tinged tracks, blues, rock and roll, the Stones different sounds are all here, some are not exactly timeless, but a very solid album! 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes. 2/1001, 2/13 (15%) Will I get? Already have Recommend: Sure

Total classic. So many bangers, still sounds so vital, clever and funny today. Easy 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes. 3/1001, 3/14 (21%) Will I get? Already have Recommend: Yes

Absolute classic. Pretty much a no skips. Easy 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes. 4/1001, 4/15 (26%) Will I get? Already have Recommend: Yes

Had heard a couple of songs from this. Its great short hooky poppy rock. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No. 4/1001, 4/16 (25%) Will I get? No Recommend: Maybe

Not terrible familiar with Van Halen. Not a good first impression. Hard to get past the banality of the lyrics. There is a guitar solo as a track which is interesting. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No. 4/1001, 4/17 (23%) Will I get? No Recommend: No

Absolute classic, banger after banger! 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: No. 5/1001, 5/18 (27%) Will I get? Already have Recommend: Yes

Not familiar with his solo work. So this was a first. Starts strong especially Bomba and Visions of You. Liked it more than I thought I would. 3.5 rounded down. Heard before? No Owned: No. 5/1001, 5/19 (26%) Will I get? Maybe Recommend: No

Not familiar with pre-Bad Seeds Nick Cave. I like the sound of these songs, like a punk Tom Waits. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No. 5/1001, 5/20 (25%) Will I get? No Recommend: No

Have heard this before and I really enjoy, of course do not much about this type of music, but this seems like the real thing! 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 6/1001, 6/21 (28%) Will I get? Already have Recommend: Yes

Have heard this before but not in a long time. Funny, lively versions. The crowd sure love murder! 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: No, 6/1001, 6/22 (27%) Will I get? Maybe Recommend: Yes

Not something I would seek out. Perfectly fine album. Mostly bland tracks though. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? The singles Owned: No, 6/1001, 6/23 (26%) Will I get? No Recommend: No

Lesser Radiohead, maybe, but still a favourite of mine. Loved it at the time, but did think it could drop a couple of tracks. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 7/1001, 7/24 (29%) Will I get? Already have Recommend: Yes

Another Undertones, interesting. Solid punk, some great standout tracks, but its already 1979. Post punk is already thriving. It's got Teenage Kicks and here comes the summer! 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some songs Owned: No, 7/1001, 7/25 (28%) Will I get? Already have Recommend: Yes

Knew a couple of songs but that was it. A band I was never into so this is a first. Sort of refreshing mix of sounds. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No, 7/1001, 7/26 (26%) Will I get? No Recommend: Sure

Something always so American about this guy that never translated for me. Gave it a chance, nothing particularly stands out. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No, 7/1001, 7/27 (25%) Will I get? Recommend:

Never heard of Solomon Burke before, which does seem odd. Amazing voice, somewhat standard soul/rock sound but thoroughly enjoyable album. I like it! 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No, 7/1001, 7/28 (25%) Will I get? Maybe Recommend: Sure

Aware of Ice Cube, not this album though. Like a lot of 90s albums, a bit overstuffed but flows well. Has that early 90s sound, which has its positives and negatives. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No. 7/1001, 7/29 (24%) Will I get? No Recommend: Sure

Only know her name, and even then I think I was wrong about who she is. Pleasant enough 60s political/personal pop, I might be missing something though. Interested to check out her other albums. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No. 7/1001, 7/30 (23%) Will I get? No Recommend: Sure

Fantastic album, such a great voice. Packed with classic after classic. What a voice! 4.5, rounded down. Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes. 8/1001, 8/31 (26%) Will I get? Already own Recommend: Yes

I did have this on MP3, didn't remember much about it though. Very interesting post-punk, sharp in many ways. Can hear the 80s punks lifting so much from this. First side is the stronger. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: No. 8/1001, 8/32 (25%) Will I get? Yes Recommend: Yes

Had not heard this Kate Bush album before. Very interesting album, definitely needs a few more listens but I really enjoyed it. Her accent work raised an eyebrow! Heard before? No Owned: No. 8/1001, 8/33 (24%) Will I get? Yes Recommend: No sure

Did listen to this album at the time, and loved "There goes the fear", have not listened in years. Singles are still great, the rest not quite on this listen. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? The singles Owned: No. 8/1001, 8/34 (23%) Will I get? No Recommend: Maybe

Neil Young's albums is a massive blind spot for me. So odd that I don't already have this. Heard before? The singles Owned: No. 8/1001, 8/35 (22%) Will I get? Recommend: Getting rid of this field. Don't see the point.

Not bad, some great guests on this. 3.5 rounded down. Heard before? The singles Owned: No. 8/1001, 8/36 (22%) Will I get? no

Not my favourite Kuti, but great track! 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes. 9/1001, 9/37 (24%) Will I get?

Asked Santa to get me this album a long time ago. He never did, so I have never forgiven them. I like the singles. 3 Heard before? Yes, the singles Owned: Yes. /91001, 9/38 (23%) Will I get?

The first album I have know absolutely nothing about. Pleasant enough Jazz. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Nothing Owned: Yes. 9/1001, 9/39 (23%) Will I get? No

Definitely some good stuff here, but overall a little dull. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Just the singles Owned: Yes. 9/1001, 9/40 (22%) Will I get? No

Another large blind spot, only really aware of their singles. The podcast 'Are u talking U2 to me' helped open my mind about them. This album starts really strong, really crisp sound to everything. Some weaker songs but more enjoyable than I thought! 4 Heard before? Just the singles Owned: Yes. 8/1001, 9/41 (21%) Will I get? Maybe

Had a low quality MP3 version of this, a long time ago. Always did like. Funky, lively, rocking, groovy, all that stuff! Heard before? Yes Owned: No. 9/1001, 9/42 (23%) Will I get? Yes

An album I bought recently, very cool. Take five is the best track by quite a bit! 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes. 10/1001, 10/43 (23%) Will I get? Already have

Another album I bought recently. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes. 11/1001, 11/44 (25%) Will I get? Already have

Some great tracks on this, a couple that never seem to take off. 3.5 rounded up 4 Heard before? Yes, some songs Owned: Yes. 11/1001, 11/45 (24%) Will I get? Yes

Not familiar at all with Anthrax. Fun album, cool fast riffs, dumb lyrics. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No 11/1001, 11/46 (23%) Will I get? Yes

Heard some of these songs, doesn't quite spark with me. Some tracks sound flat. Gilmore Girls though! 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No 11/1001, 11/47 (23%) Will I get? No

Amazing comeback album from Dylan. Possibly a couple tracks too long, but the quality of the better ones makes up for it! Such a shame Dylan doesn't let others produce his albums anymore. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 12/1001, 12/48 (25%) Will I get? Already have!

Hadn't heard this before, still struggling with early metal. Spinal Tap may have ruined me. 3 Heard before? No Owned: Yes 12/1001, 12/49 (24%) Will I get? No

Not familiar with this J5 album. Liked the group but was always disappointed by their albums. This is no exception. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: Yes 12/1001, 12/50 (24%) Will I get? No

This definitely does not do it for me, I'm surprised. The music is too repetitive and too loud. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: Yes 12/1001, 12/51 (23%) Will I get? No

Absolute classic from Dylan. Like a rolling stone! 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 13/1001, 13/52 (25%) Will I get? Already have

I own this, but may never have listened before! Cool bombastic pop, 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: Yes 14/1001, 14/53 (26%) Will I get? Already have

I have heard before, and do think I prefer their previous album but this is still good. But does not deserve its very low rating on this site! Interesting post punk noise. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No 14/1001, 14/54 (25%) Will I get? Maybe

Not familiar with this album, not too familiar with country especially 80s American style. Interesting voice, music not so much. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No 14/1001, 14/55 (25%) Will I get? No

An album I haven't listened to in 25 years! Still mostly good, tracks might be slightly too long. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes - used to have Owned: No 14/1001, 14/56 (25%) Will I get? No

Amazing album. Kraftwerk were on a major role! 6 tracks, all bangers. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 15/1001, 15/57 (26%) Will I get? Already have

Haven't heard any tracks on this. Strong Beatles, the Band, Walker Brothers sounds here. Doesn't sound particularly original but there is something interesting here. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No 15/1001, 15/58 (26%) Will I get? Maybe

Amazing album, not a bad track. Dark, powerful, hypnotic post punk. 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 16/1001, 16/59 (27%) Will I get? Have several versions

Tagged as jangle pop, but doesn't sound like it to me. It does sound like the 80s. The lyrics are terrible so they sure stand out. 2 Heard before? Nope Owned: Yes 16/1001, 16/60 (26%) Will I get? Nope

Pleasant surprise, only knew the name. Some weaker tracks, but sounds more expansive than a lot of punk from the same time. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Nope Owned: No 16/1001, 16/61 (26%) Will I get? I think so

Not his fault, let's get it on became a lazy movie/tv reference. Song still holds up! A bit of sameness to the tracks and a slightness to the album. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 16/1001, 16/62 (25%) Will I get? Probably not

hmm another 70s hard rock album that doesn't do it for me. 3 Heard before? 1 song Owned: No 16/1001, 16/63 (25%) Will I get? No

Starts great! Stays mostly cool, some 80s nonsense here and there, but solid. 4 Heard before? 1 song Owned: No 16/1001, 16/64 (25%) Will I get? Yes

Savage album, proper 80s mashup of different genres. refreshingly crazy 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 17/1001, 17/65 (26%) Will I get? Yes

Heard some of the tracks before, big late-50s pop. I imagine there is a better Charles album out there. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: No 17/1001, 17/66 (25%) Will I get? No

Not quiet what I was expecting. Interesting pieces, I prefer the more ambient ones, oddly not quite cinematic to me. I do like it though. Will check out more of his work. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No 17/1001, 17/67 (25%) Will I get? No

First time actually listening to the entire album. First impressions are it sounds bad. Not really, way more interesting sounding than I remember as a kid. The artificial of the keyboards and the beats do become grating as it goes on. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes the many singles Owned: No 17/1001, 17/68 (25%) Will I get? No

Slower, duller, new york dolls-ish?, something missing. For punk, what came before and what came after was better, so this proto-punk is odd. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No 17/1001, 17/69 (24%) Will I get? No

The most modern album so far, and I thought this post dates the book, so confusing. Starts strong, soon becomes pretty but banal. Lyrics are bad. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 17/1001, 17/70 (24%) Will I get? No

hmm, 2 great songs, the rest less so. Not the best Who. 3 Heard before? Some songs Owned: No 17/1001, 17/71 (23%) Will I get? No

70s and 80s "hard rock" is proving to be a genre that does very little for me. Although this one grew on me, but started to test my patience by the end. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? Some songs Owned: No 17/1001, 17/71 (23%) Will I get? No

A Stones albums I don't really know. Some good tracks, some generic blues filler. Horn section saves some of the blander tracks. There are better less bloated Stones albums. 3 Heard before? Some songs Owned: No 17/1001, 17/73 (23%) Will I get? No

The weakest of Belle and Sebastian's stellar 1996 to 1999 output, but still fantastic. So packed full of wit, charm, and earnestness. Only weaker by comparison probably. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 18/1001, 18/74 (24%) Will I get? Already have

Great album, definitely grows on you. I did already have but has been some time since I listened. Seems to be a mostly Bowie creation according to the wiki, and Bowie was on an amazing streak. Iggy's vocals are great too. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 19/1001, 19/75 (25%) Will I get? Already have

Heard the singles, the rest solid new wavey pop. I use solid too much is these little reviews, maybe decent is a better word. Sort of good, not great, but kind of bad too. I don't know. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? The singles Owned: No 19/1001, 19/76 (25%) Will I get? Probably not

A band I am always meant to check out. Never got a round to it. This is so so, couple of great tracks, some interminable jams. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? The singles Owned: No 19/1001, 19/77 (24%) Will I get? Probably not

Have a couple of Chemical Brother albums, not this one though. I have heard it I think. As far as electronica/dance music goes, Big Beat ain't my thing. It is cool to hear the drum and bass some prominently though. They have released better than this. 3 Heard before? Maybe Owned: No 19/1001, 19/78 (24%) Will I get? No

Fantastic album, Living for the city is a masterpiece. I sort of forgot how amazing this album is. Every track is great. My favourite Wonder. 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 20/1001, 20/79 (25%) Will I get? Already have

I assume it is spotify, but this album sounds terrible in a way I don't think its supposed to. Flat and muddy mix. I'll have to seek out a better source. Much better Cure out there. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 20/1001, 20/80 (25%) Will I get? No

Not something I would seek out, which is the reason for this exercise. Starts strong, never notices how much Freedom sounded like the Happy Mondays. The songs can go on a bit. Liked it more than I thought I would. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Singles Owned: No 20/1001, 20/81 (24%) Will I get? No

Another sort of modern entry, a band I have never heard from 2000s. Musically dull, hard to imagine there isn't better albums that could be picked from this time. Lyrically does offer a bit more interest. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No 20/1001, 20/82 (24%) Will I get? No

Art pop Eno was so fun. Brilliant album. Maybe 1 and a half duds on side b, but overall incredible. 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 21/1001, 21/83 (24%) Will I get? Already have several copies including a bootleg I bought in Spain :(

Heard the first couple of albums, but just the singles after that. Never liked them much, but this is good, I like the variety. Still doesn't do much for me. By the end it is annoying. 3 Heard before? Singles Owned: No: 21/1001, 21/84 (25%) Will I get? No

Never heard of this band. My tolerance for 60s rock and roll is diminishing. Some interesting songs, the poppier ones I prefer. Otherwise bland. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No: 21/1001, 21/85 (24%) Will I get? No

I know the name, but that is about it. Hmm, a lot of tags on this one. I have no relationship to Southern rock, and enduring a double album was tough. I couldn't buy into the concept, these songs are just so boring. 2 Heard before? No Owned: No: 21/1001, 21/86 (24%) Will I get? No

Second U2, another one I know the singles only. Bono is so loud in the mix! I think I was expecting more from the non-singles. Mysterious Ways is great and some others. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Singles Owned: No: 21/1001, 21/87 (24%) Will I get? No

I bought this a long time ago, haven't really relistened a lot. Punchy poppy smart. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 22/1001, 22/88 (25%) Will I get? Already have

A name I know, but that's about it. Rod Stewart I do know. I like the sound of the album, classic 60s. But then some of the originals are so standard they bore. The covers are better, and as an album seems cobbled together. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No: 22/1001, 22/89 (24%) Will I get? No

Have heard some War tracks, nothing on this album. Funk, soul, rock. It's good but doesn't move beyond that for me. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No: 22/1001, 22/90 (24%) Will I get? No

A hendrix album I don't have and haven't heard much from. Might be my least favourite Hendrix, but that doesn't exactly mean much, it's still a great album but doesn't hit like the other two. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? A couple of tracks Owned: No: 22/1001, 22/91 (24%) Will I get? Maybe

Early REM has been on my radar to explore for a long time, never really got around to it. I know this is their first major label album so not quite the early period. I like it. Very strong album, might miss the more epic singles of their later period but this impressed me. 4 Heard before? A couple of tracks Owned: No: 22/1001, 22/92 (23%) Will I get? Maybe

Big beat is not a favourite of mine, always loved Santa Cruz though. Listening today, oddly still sounds pretty fresh. Nice bit of variety on the sounds, but ends weakly. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? A couple of tracks Owned: No: 22/1001, 22/93 (23%) Will I get? Maybe

Masterpiece, can not seperate form the mountain of nostalgia I have with this album, but it is track for track incredible! 5 Heard before? Oh yes Owned: Yes: 23/1001, 23/94 (24%) Will I get? Have multiple times

Dylan's second album, a huge improvement on the first. Some of his early classics are on this, a couple of not-so-interesting tracks too. Serious, surreal, love, and funny songs side by side. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 24/1001, 24/95 (25%) Will I get? Have multiple times

Only aware of their singles really. A band I wanted to check out. Starts strong, 70s art pop sound is cool, then the bluesy tracks hits not so fresh. Loses me for a bit but I'm back by the end. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No: 24/96 (25%) Will I get? ?

Heard a couple of tracks before. Fun raw garage rock, the originals are quite good. The innovation is sounding fuzzy. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No: 24/97 (25%) Will I get? ?

Another Rolling Stones album! Another one I don't have. I like this more than Exile. Great album. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No: 24/98 (24%) Will I get? Yes

I know who Elton John is, but I've never listened to an album so this is a first. Starts with a banger. After that, hmm. Why are the songs so long. Some interesting parts, but never rising above the first track. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No: 24/99 (24%) Will I get?

I know it's random but my 100th album being one of my favourites is very cool! An absolute classic from start to finish! This album was the gateway to another world of music. 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 25/100 (25%) Will I get? Already have!

A Hendrix album I do have, but still some tracks are mostly unfamiliar to me. Not sure I like the too jammy stuff, but that could be from over exposure to mediocre blues jams, particularly on this list. Anyway, still great if a little over-stuffed. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 26/101 (25%) Will I get? Already have!

I liked this a lot when it came out, haven't listened to it in a long time. This was all before the brain worm. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 27/101 (26%) Will I get? Already have!

Growing up in the 80s, Slade were a joke band. This changing that view, but still its seems a basic glam rock. Nothing stands out. 3 Heard before? 1 song Owned: No: 27/103 (26%) Will I get? No

I've heard of Cooper, nothing on this album except Mr Nice Guy. Immediately strong meh. I guess one thing about this whole task is the preceding album can have a big effect. Two mediocre glam rock albums in a row = ugh 2.5 rounded up Heard before? 1 track Owned: No: 27/104 (25%) Will I get? No

I have this, I do remember being underwhelming by the Stooges. So time for a re-listen. Don't love the muddy mix but still packs a punch. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: No: 28/105 (26%) Will I get? Maybe a better version

Another one I haven't listened to in a long time. Probably their best, maybe less fun than earlier albums but the music and lyrics are peak. Still holds up for me, will have to listen to more Smiths now. 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 29/106 (27%) Will I get? Maybe a better version

I have heard some Holiday songs before but don't know much. Hard to believe she was only 43 recording this, it is a voice of experience. How good it is, how reflective of her career, I have no idea really! But it drifts by pleasantly. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: Yes: 29/107 (27%) Will I get? No

The most popular album on here. I know the singles, that's it. Starts bad. First 2 Buckingham tracks are misses for me. Although Go Your Own Way is the first song to get me tapping along. The Chain rocks for sure but the rest of side 2 is meh. Overall, 3 great tracks does not make the best album ever. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: Yes: 29/108 (26%) Will I get? No

Always thought the Cult were a goth band, I might never have actually heard them. Turns out they are just another dull rock band. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No: 29/108 (26%) Will I get? No

Mostly dull standard 70s rock. American Girl is a great track though. At least the tracks are short! 2.5 rounded up Heard before? A couple Owned: No: 29/109 (26%) Will I get? No

It's always nice when this list veers away from the white anglo-americans males. Although most of the modernish picks I've encountered have not been great, this is pretty enjoyable. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No: 29/111 (23%) Will I get? No

Of course would have heard a lot of these songs before but never as an album. I guess it's an historic album. Still sounds lively if a little flat, and samey. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No: 29/112 (25%) Will I get? No

Funny how I think 9 years ago is modern. Decent modern soul sounding record, doesn't rise above anything I've heard. Nothing particularly stands out. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some songs Owned: No: 29/113 (25%) Will I get? No

Of course, I remember the KLF. Finding the actual album was a little tricky, it is s much better than the one on spotify. Hope people realise that! Something dated about a lot of early 90's dance, but this transcends that. Still though, not something I'm in a rush to hear again. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some songs Owned: No: 29/114 (25%) Will I get? No

Have a couple of talking heads albums, not this one. Very cool album. Maybe lacks a standout track or two. Oddly, take me to the river might be my least favourite track on the album. 4 Heard before? Some songs Owned: No: 29/115 (25%) Will I get? Yes

I like this more than Elephant. Many bangers on here. 4 Heard before? Some songs Owned: No: 29/116 (25%) Will I get?

This album has had a few revivals, so seems like it has constantly been playing in cafes for 30 years. Clearly good in terms of voice, lyrics, and guitar. Production is a bit too 80s for me and side 2 looses steam. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Most songs Owned: No: 29/117 (24%) Will I get? No

Aware of the band, and some of their later stuff but that's it. Better than Suede, if that means much. I actually like it more as it goes. It just lacks a little something, hard to say what it is. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No: 29/118 (24%) Will I get? Maybe

Listened to this recently for the first time in years. A classic for sure, as good as early Velvets? Nope. Still though, exceptional. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: No: 30/119 (24%) Will I get? Already have a couple

I assumed I would have heard some of these songs before, but I haven't. Definitely not what I was listening to in 1997. Giving it a chance. Songs are so long...90's r&b vibe, inane lyrics - butterflys and spreading wings, etc., inoffensive. Not for me. 2 Heard before? No Owned: No: 30/120 (25%) Will I get? No

An album I bought at the time, I remember loving the singles but hitting skip a lot. With this listen, things have not changed. My dislike of house is probably greater now than it was back then. Probably my least favourite electronic music genre. Still, a couple of standout tracks make it worthwhile. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 31/121 (25%) Will I get? No

I don't think this is the best Beatles album, obviously great but quite a few lesser Beatles track here. Comparatively speaking. Still its much better than Fleetwood mac. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 32/122 (25%) Will I get? No

Never really got into Newman, this didn't help. Hard not to think Toy Story when I hear him. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No: 32/123 (25%) Will I get? No

Hmm, a compilation. Seems against the rules. Lol. I remember these guys. Fun. 3 Heard before? A couple Owned: No: 32/124 (25%) Will I get? No

Another Stooges, don't think I have this one. A couple of absolute classics on here, some not so great stuff. We will fall is so bad. Heard before? A couple Owned: No: 32/125 (25%) Will I get? No

Another AC/DC album. Dull 70s 'hard' rock but now it is the 80s. These lyrics... A couple of standout tracks, but the formula wears real thin. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? A couple Owned: No: 32/126 (25%) Will I get? No

A throwback to a sound that this list is making dislike immensely. At least it is a Norwegian band! And it's very listenable. The dumb lyrics are kind of endearing. 3 Heard before? A couple Owned: No: 32/127 (25%) Will I get? No

An album I have wanted to listen to for a while. Immediately like it. This is the type of recommendation that excites me. Maybe doesn't quite reach a 4 score but will check the rest of their stuff. Has more character than the previous 5 picks 3.5 rounded up Heard before? One song Owned: No: 32/128 (25%) Will I get? Maybe - will check out more of them

Have a couple of Simon and Garfunkel albums, not this one though. First side is interesting enough, when they give up on the concept for the side 2 it sounds very generic 60s pop. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? A few Owned: No: 32/129 (24%) Will I get? No

The only Sabbath I have. Starts very strong and stays strong, only hands of doom/rat salad dip in quality. Fantastic album. 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 33/130 (25%) Will I get? Already have

A name I know, but not much else. She had a great voice and it turns out I have heard a few of these songs. Some better than others. A nice change from the norm of this list. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? A few Owned: No: 33/131 (25%) Will I get? No

Kinks had quite a run at the end of the 60s. This is a great album, plenty of great songs with memorable moments. Oddly, might have done with something a bit longer. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: No: 34/132 (25%) Will I get? Already have

I do like some ELO, but this is a lot of ELO. A sameness runs through the double album. Still though, very pleasant and slightly less indulgent than your average double album. Maybe. The last 2 songs are particularly bad. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No: 34/133 (25%) Will I get? No

Not a Metallica I have. Starts lacklustre, picks up on side B. One was a video and song I loved so much back in the early MTV days. Album does have a flat sound. Where's the bass? 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No: 34/134 (25%) Will I get? No

Obviously, an absolutely amazing record, but the pedant in me says this shouldn't be on the list. Lol. I'll get over it. Might be one of the albums I have listened to most. What an incredible document. 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 35/135 (25%) Will I get? Already have, would love a vinyl reissue.

Some banger singles for sure including the most overplayed song of the century. Always really liked Smile Like You Mean It. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: No: 35/136 (25%) Will I get? No.

One I definitely haven't heard before. Which is the point of this whole thing for me. Eh, seems fine. Inoffensive, clean. Can't compare it to much. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No: 35/137 (25%) Will I get? No.

A name I know but not much else. It is that kind of baraoque pop that occasionally veers into interesting, but never quite makes it. Like a radiohead pastiche in many places. Long album... 2.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No: 35/138 (25%) Will I get? No.

Yay, a Brazilian album. Hopefully more from 70s are on this list! Cool bossa nova. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 36/139 (25%) Will I get? Already have

New Romantic 80s, make sense to be on the list. Starts strong with Rio, but sort of fades into blandness after that. 3 Heard before? The singles Owned: No: 37/141 (26%) Will I get? No

Eh, not their best. Well it might be, I haven't heard the second one either. Surprisingly bland. A lot of bad tracks on here. 3 Heard before? Yes most of it Owned: No: 37/142 (26%) Will I get? No

Don't think I ever listened to the whole album before. Cool, g-funky, driving beats, Starts real strong, mostly maintains. More variety than I remember. Is really long though. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No: 37/143 (26%) Will I get? No

One I have never heard before. Don't know much Industrial. Interesting, could be harsher. Better than other stuff on here for sure but not exactly Swans. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No: 37/144 (25%) Will I get? No

Have this one, but the Jam never excited me much. This one is pretty great, short interesting punky tracks. Love the Taxman riff too. Brave. That's Entertainment is a banger too. Side B weaker for sure. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: No: 38/145 (26%) Will I get? Already have

So another famous 70s rock album I never listened to. Wow, starts so bad. Tepid, vapid, sounds like shit too. It's going to be a long hour. I have been fairly open-minded during this process, but this may be the worst album so far. Only positive, I have more context for that Simpsons joke. 1.5 rounded down Heard before? 1 song Owned: No: 38/146 (26%) Will I get? No

A classic for sure. Has been a while since I listened, love the Albini production, less immediate than Nevermind and lacks the hits, but might still be the better album. Tough one. 4.5. rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 39/147 (26%) Will I get? Already have

Ugh 77mins, obviously a well put together product. Pleasant enough 2000s pop, but too long too samey too man woo ooh oohs. Although better than some recent albums on this list. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? The singles maybe Owned: No: 39/148 (26%) Will I get? No

I might have had this album at one stage. Pretty good, had an interesting/unique sound back then. I still like it, but might not be the best Eels record. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: No: 39/149 (26%) Will I get? Maybe

I like it. 60s Pop country? Smooth all the way through, great voice, interesting choice of songs. Heard before? Some Owned: No: 39/150 (26%) Will I get? Maybe

Another double album, sob. Starts cool but then you are reminded this is Elton John. Could easily be a single album, would be a lot better. So samey so Elton John. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No: 39/151 (26%) Will I get?

Well I know the first track. Something about the production is immediately annoying. But I do like the catchiness of the first few songs. Overall surprisingly pleasant. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? That 1 song Owned: No: 39/152 (26%) Will I get? No

A lot of Christmas bangers on this. Also the others. Somewhat limited appeal to this in terms of content. 3 Heard before? Most Owned: No: 39/153 (25%) Will I get? No

Very early Davis, that sounds like jazz to me. I definitely don't know enough about the period to understand how it differs. Sound pretty cool for music recorded in 1949! 4 Heard before? No Owned: No: 39/153 (24%) Will I get? Probably not

I know some Penguin Cafe, but nothing from this album. I love it. Some parts droney, some parts full of life and rhythm. Maybe dulls a little by the end, but very enjoyable. 4 Heard before? No Owned: No: 39/154 (24%) Will I get? Yes

Didn't like my previous Springsteen much, this might be different. Catchy but ultimately dull. Much better music came out in 2002, hopefully it shows up on the list. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No: 39/156 (25%) Will I get? No

Ugh, southern rock. One of my least favourite genres thanks to this list. Yup maybe not as bad as the other one. Strong dislike the whole thing. 2 Heard before? No Owned: No: 39/157 (25%) Will I get? No

I know that 1 song and I know the Police. Starts kind of lame, dinosaurs, saxophones, 80s. Up there with the worst of the list. Could just be the bad streak making it worse. 2 Heard before? 1 song Owned: No: 39/160 (24%) Will I get? No

I have this, but why put this on the list, I assume her other one is on it. No need for this. Bad streak continues, too long, too repetitive, lacks the bangers of her next album. Pleasant in a background music in a cafe way. 3 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 40/161 (24%) Will I get? Already have for some reason

Been a long time since I listened to this. Still good. Ends a 6 album dull streak, but it has lost something for me. A solid 4 is nothing to sneeze at. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 41/162 (25%) Will I get? Already have

Not bad, know a couple of songs. Doesn't blow me mind but the sound is cool enough. Can hear its influence on later 80s pop and it lacks the lame sound of that stuff. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: Yes: 41/163 (25%) Will I get? Probably not

Oh god, the first 10 seconds made me want to vomit. Does will be tough. Got a bit better. The production is so vile, dull, and lifeless. Gets a bit more tolerable as it goes, or maybe it just worse me down. Those wacky 80s sounds. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: Yes: 41/164 (25%) Will I get? No`

I did listen to this once I think. It's long. A triple cd album. Cool lo-fi-ish songs Does so many songs make the good ones better or worse? After a couple of hours non-stop, conclusion it makes them worse. But it does win you back every once in a while. A for effort, C for consistency, B for pulling it off. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: Yes: 41/167 (24%) Will I get? No

Zeppelin comma Led. A major oversight of mine. I do like the sound of the album, lyrics are garbage though. Better than a lot of the blues rock I've heard on this list. Haven't been missing much. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: Yes: 41/168(24%) Will I get No.

First song is about loving a little girl. The 70s. Ugh. Next song is about praying to a god to make a woman love him. At least this time it's a woman. Music is offensive enough, actually even good sometimes. The mostly mediocre streak continues. 2 Heard before? No Owned: Yes: 41/169(24%) Will I get No.

I have heard this before, but which version. So many different versions with different track listings. Still an amazing album though, you hear its influence throughout the 80s and 90s. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 42/170(24%) Will I get. Yes some sort of version

I do own this, but apart from the big tracks I don't remember much. The first 3 tracks are actually kind of weak. Someone great and all my friends are brilliant.

Don't have this one, some cool sounds but a lot of tracks feels unfinished. A lot of potential but doesn't pay off a lot. I've heard better from them. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No: 43/172(24%) Will I get. No

Another Elvis Costello. Some very strong tracks, some not so. Not his best. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No: 43/174(24%) Will I get. No

Had stopped listening to Beck by this album, probably a couple before. Ok, starts great. Dulls a little. That 90s/2000s track bloat. Still the best Beck I have heard in a long time. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No: 43/175(24%) Will I get. Maybe

I have heard some of these tracks before. I think maybe I had too high expectations for this. I had assumed this was some radical departure from his normal stuff, but it still sounds like him. The electric side is fine. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: Yes: 44/177 (25%) Will I get. ?

I know a couple of their songs, and knew they were more than that britpop hit. Starts strong and stays strong. Bit of a revelation, though some less interesting songs. Could easily drop some, but overall impressive. 4 Heard before? 1 song Owned: No: 45/179 (25%) Will I get: Yes

I have this, but remember liking it less that the other 70s Eno albums. Solid Eno, maybe not as good as the previous two, but up there. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 46/180 (25%) Will I get: Already have

Heard some Spiritualized before, and recently had Spaceman 3 here. This sounds pretty much what I expected it to. Has some interesting moments, sort of flows over you. Shame to break the great week I was having, but this lacks a punch, although the last 3 songs are cool. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 46/181 (25%) Will I get: No

Dylan goes electric. Fantastic album, some of his best songs on here. There are a couple tracks I thought were just ok, the blues ones, but enjoyed more this time. Some of the greatest songs ever written on this! 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 47/182 (25%) Will I get: Have several

Another Bjork I haven't heard. Was surprised, this sounded just like classic Bjork. Not sure why I'm surprised. Maybe nothing as immediately stand out as Homogenic but an intriguing and impressive album. 4 Heard before? No Owned: No 47/183 (25%) Will I get: Probably

I don't mind this late 80s electronic sound, it can feel a bit slight but sounds good here. But does too laid back at times, maybe a little too 80s. Heard before? 1 song Owned: No 47/184 (25%) Will I get: No

Don't have this Bad Brains album. A lot to like here, but I do prefer the earlier albums. A more 80s and diverse sound, can sound kind of thin. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some ? Owned: No 47/186 (25%) Will I get: No

Just realised I don't have this album. A classic album, suffers from CD bloat, can sound tinny in that early hip hop way. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No 47/187 (25%) Will I get: Maybe

Yay more Brazilians, hmm another compilation. I'm assuming there will be better 60/70s Brazilian music later on the list as this is not my favourite type. Still very good though, lacks some of the chaos of Novos Baianos, or beauty of Clube da Esquina. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No 47/188 (25%) Will I get: Maybe

Starts bad, but I do like the sound. But it quickly descends into that 70s white guy blues rock slop that is all over this list. And it's a double album. Side 4 is half cool. 3 Heard before? That 1 song Owned: No 47/189 (25%) Will I get: No

Hard to resist Queen. Most of these I haven't heard, the mercury side is more fun, the nonsense songs. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 47/191 (24%) Will I get: Nah

I remember as a kid, this album was everywhere. Funny reading about how he stole the idea for the album, and fucked over some of the musicians, the cultural colonialism. Interesting stuff, and well the thing is the album is great! 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No 47/192 (24%) Will I get: I think so

Two Pet Shop Boys albums in one week! Hard to imagine the list needs two. This one is better, more upbeat and fun. Couple of bangers. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 47/193 (24%) Will I get: I think so

I know her, I've seen her live too, but not sure I can name any of her songs apart from the Roots one. I like the sound, dense 2000 soul. Never really grabs my attention, drifts to the background. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 47/194 (24%) Will I get: No

Another Adele, hmm. Starts ok, but drifts into blandness quick enough. The lyrics are so banal, uninteresting, music by committee. 2 Heard before? Some Owned: No 47/195 (24%) Will I get: No

The only Metallica album I actually own. Not one I listened much, chuggs away nicely. Some duds, but mostly good. 3.5 rounded down. Heard before? Some Owned: Yes 48/196 (24%) Will I get: Already have

I remember the singles from back in the day. The other tracks are a mixed bag for sure. Long story songs sort of pass over you. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 48/197 (24%) Will I get: Probably not

A band I have wanted to check out for a while. A double live album though, maybe not the best place to start. Yup sounds like 70s prog. Fuzzy bassy long jammy sci fi nonsense. It's kind of cool but 3.5 rounded down. Heard before? No Owned: No 48/198 (24%) Will I get: No

Don't have this Talking Heads, not sure why. It's a cool funky disco like, rock, with a load of Eno weirdness no. Gets stronger as it goes. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 48/198 (24%) Will I get: Probably

Have heard of MC Solaar, the odd single here and there. Sounds cool in that early 90s hip hop way. Laid back and jazzy, but doesn't exactly stand out. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No 48/200 (24%) Will I get: Probably

I have heard a lot this one before, but obviously much easier to compare the individual contributions when played in one go. Pretty inconsistent album. Young and Stills seem the best. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes most Owned: No 48/201 (23%) Will I get: Probably

Another massive oversight, a band I didn't like in the 90s for whatever reason and never gave them a chance since. So good opportunity for a reappraisal. I like it slightly more than I did, but still has a wiff of cheesy classic rock. Not bad though. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No 48/202 (23%) Will I get: No

Unfortunately this list has turned me off of this late 60s sound. Amazing vocals but the rest is lacking. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 48/203 (23%) Will I get: No

Not afraid of Black Metal, even some I like. Sounds like 80s metal with more performative dark lyrics. Still though, very listenable. Like a badly produced Motorhead. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No 48/204 (23%) Will I get: No

Listened when it came out, but not after. Starts real strong. Very TV on the Radio. Hard to not to associate with his death, stands on its own too. It has been 10 years. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 48/204 (23%) Will I get: Yes

Dont have any Cocteau Twins albums but know some songs. Has that 80s production sound, but here it works so well. More poppy than I thought it would be. Best discovery on this list in a long time! 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 48/206 (23%) Will I get: Yes

Familiar with these guys from a tv movie I saw nearly 40 years ago. Perfectly bland 70s pop. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 48/207 (23%) Will I get: No

Something plunderphonic about it, in good and bad ways. Who is McLaren ripping off on this track. Still a fun worldly sound, and actually pretty cool. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 48/209 (22%) Will I get: No

This list has taught me I don't like Springsteen as much as I thought I would. Starts with a classic, less interesting after that. Samey anthems in a 80s sheen. 3 Heard before? Yes Owned: No 48/210 (22%) Will I get: No

The less interesting sound of brit pop/rock. So many more interesting bands making better music at the time. People say early Verve were actually "good" but I guess it must be the album before this. Sounds kind of like U2 at their very worst. 90s CD bloat - 6 minute tracks for what! 2 Heard before? Some Owned: No 48/211 (22%) Will I get: No

Heard some of this before, like Coyote. I like the vibe of the record, the guitar and bass sounds. Musician sure love singing about how much they hate traveling. Still, she does it very well! 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No 48/212 (22%) Will I get: No

Heard some Toure before, solid interesting stuff. But over this album begins to ware. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No 50/218 (22%) Will I get: No

I realise that apart from Nirvana and Mudhoney, I didn't listen to a lot of grunge. What I have heard on this list hasn't excited me much. Chugs along in that 90s way. Songs too long, too many tracks. Not the worst though. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No 50/220 (22%) Will I get: No

A true classic, maybe a bit inconsistent, but such a great soulful sound. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 51/221 (23%) Will I get: Maybe a nicer version

I did like some of these songs when it came out. And it was everywhere. Surprised how much I remember it and like it. It takes until track 8 until I don't recognise one. Impressive for an album I never had myself. Could have dropped a few tracks from the second half. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: No 52/223 (23%) Will I get: No

Amazing first side, at least 3 classics! Less out there than her previous album, but she finds room for a concept side b. Odd but nice Irishness to it. It does lose me though. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 53/224 (23%) Will I get: Already have

Wow, I'm on a nice streak this week. 5 in a row! Starts strong, and then we get to one of the greatest songs ever written, life on mars. A lot of greatness here! 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 55/227 (24%) Will I get: A nicer copy maybe

Not my favourite Smiths album, but has enough good tracks to satisfy. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 56/228 (24%) Will I get: A nicer copy maybe

I have this, but it has been a very long time since I listened. Strong start! A bridge from the 70s to the 80s, you can hear Elvis Costello, and Pulp. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 57/229 (24%) Will I get: A nicer copy maybe

Will my good streak end? Probably, it's fine as thrash metal go. Fast, exciting. but the terrible lyrics and overly long tracks cause me to zone out. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No 57/230 (24%) Will I get: ?

Hadn't heard most of this before, I liked it more than Exodus I think. So maybe it;s the addition of Tosh. Not as many hits, but strong nonetheless. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No 57/230 (24%) Will I get: Maybe

I have this, but may have never listened to it. I guess this is here as an example of their early sound. Great pop songs, but well they get a lot better. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 58/232 (25%) Will I get: Already have

The first Hot Chip album I didn't buy when it came out. There was no particular reason, so interested in hearing this. Yes, it is very good. Lacks some of the more immediately satisfying tracks from the previous albums. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No 58/233 (24%) Will I get:

Possibly my favourite Bowie album. Both sides offer such interesting music and sounds. It is weird to have a peak Bowie album with so little lyrics, but that's just how it worked out! 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 59/234 (24%) Will I get: Already have

This was album that was playing in the background of a lot of parties in the old days! So have definitely heard before. Was never my favourite genre, a bit too 90s and laid back. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: No 59/234 (24%) Will I get: Maybe

Not sure I have much love for thrash, after having heard a few on this list. Fun fast metal with dumb lyrics. There is a lot of variety on these tracks. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No 59/236 (24%) Will I get: No

Well I definitely know one song, and its a classic! But soundtracks are tricky things. I never really listen to them. It's cool, but quickly fades to the background. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 59/237 (24%) Will I get: No

An album I have heard but never did buy. Sounds like early R.E.M., which is cool! But I do think I prefer middle-era REM, doesn't do much for me. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 59/238 (24%) Will I get:

Hmm 2004, sounds like it. Neptunes, Timbaland. Nothing wrong with it, but theres better soul, and better hip hop. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No 59/239 (24%) Will I get: No

Better than I thought, the production doing the heavy lifting. Edge lord 80s rap, but still fun. Goes by smooth. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No 59/240 (24%) Will I get: No

Slightly different sound to the mountain of 60s/70s blues rock on here. Not different enough though. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 59/241 (24%) Will I get: No

Never listened to a full Bragg album before. Quite good, political and musical, down to earth. 4 Heard before? No Owned: No 59/242 (24%) Will I get: No

Definitely heard some at the time, Edge lord 90s rap, but still fun. Good production doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Weird how similar it is to Licensed to Ill, although this has a lot more dud tracks. Heard before? Some Owned: No 59/243 (24%) Will I get: No

Fast, somewhat smart punk. Some standout tracks but a lot fall well within the confines of punk. Has two of the best punk tracks ever. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 59/244 (24%) Will I get: No

Another LZ album, I know more of this one, the 3 I hadn't heard left little impact, but of course the others are quite good. LZ being better than most of the hard rock acts on this list. Like this more than II. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No 59/245 (24%) Will I get: No

Heard and liked a couple of tracks from this a long time ago but never stuck with QOTSA as I was in a Kyuss were better mood. Really like this, solid stoner rock. Might be getting an inflated score due to that fact that is slightly different to some of the absolutely basic bands on this list. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No 59/246 (23%) Will I get: Maybe

I have a few New Orders albums, not this one. Actually, I don't recognise any of the songs. Starts great, sounds like New Order, no duds but then again no total standouts. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No 59/247 (23%) Will I get: Maybe

An absolute classic, banger after banger. One of my favourites, accessible yet out there. The drones man! 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: No 60/248 (24%) Will I get: Already have

Have heard some of this stuff before. Never appealed to me, probably better than oa lot of the other early 70s sing/songwriters but that doesn't mean much. A lof of duds on this, particularly side 2. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No 60/249 (24%) Will I get: Unlikely

Have never heard of this artist, and was happy to see the 32 length. Albums should be shorter! This doesn't do much for me though, seems to be standard enough R&B but wrapped in a concept. Seems slight. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No 60/250 (24%) Will I get: No

I have and like this ablum, but never actually knew what it was about until now. Yuck. Still though, sounds great, but any longer would be pushing it. En Melody, what a banger! 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: No 61/251 (24%) Will I get: Already have

Have this, amazing album. But has double album syndrome. Could drop a few (tracks 2 and 3) and not lose anything. But then it wouldn't be a double album. Oh the humanity. 4.5 rounded up. Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 62/252 (24%) Will I get: Already have

Probably the only Gorillaz album I ever listened to. Didn't like it that much at the time. Clint Eastwood is the standout by a large margin. Pleasant enough but kind of dissapointing. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: No 62/253 (24%) Will I get: No

I have two Robert Wyatt albums from the 70s that I really like but that's all I know. This could be a lost in the vaults 70s album released in 1997 and I would believe it. Really enjoyed this, but could drop a track or two. Ends very strong though! 4 Heard before? No Owned: No 62/254 (24%) Will I get: Mayve

Don't know this one very well. Sounds like early 70s Bowie, some great tracks on here. Side 2 is weaker than 1. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No 62/255 (24%) Will I get: Maybe

I remember not getting into this at the time, had 3 exceptional tracks that I listened to a lot but I ignored the rest. Well I was very wrong, this is really good. Not a bad track on here. this was 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 63/256 (24%) Will I get: Maybe a better copy

Loved it when it came out, haven't listened to a long time. Starts so strong, some weaker tracks in the middle detract from what would be a higher scrore. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 64/257 (24%) Will I get: Already have

I have and like this already. I remember being surprised by how cool it was, having heard other Zappa stuff that I didn't like. Somehow less annoying the blues rock of the 70s even though it is a lot of wanky solos. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 65/258 (25%) Will I get: Already have

Had listened to the previous 2 albums alot but when this came out, I wasn't too bothered. Didn't like the singles much at the time. I like it a bit more on this listen, but some of these big beat tracks are plain bad. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 65/259 (25%) Will I get: No

Exprectations are low, and rightfully so. 70s blues rock, clean dull, white. Clapton sounds like a Muppet on some of these. 1.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No 65/260 (25%) Will I get: No

Probably the only Grateful Dead album Ive heard. Starts strong, but then becomes less interesting than other 60s bands. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 65/261 (25%) Will I get: No

My first Floyd, one of the reasons I did this whole thing, to listen to things I hadn't heard and to listen to the massive bands I avoided. Definitely elements to like, especially the keyboards. Love that 70s sound. Nice sounds to the record, but the solos and lyrics don;t do it for me. Oddly seems kind of slight. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 65/262 (25%) Will I get: No

Don't know their name, but had heard some songs. Eh, the wear their influences blatantly. Another album where a man singing about little girls, yuck. Definition of mid 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 65/263 (25%) Will I get: No

Morrissey's comeback album, I know a few of the songs. I kind of liked at the time. Some great tacks on here, some very mid ones. He rhymes it and shit. The guys a genius. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 65/264 (24%) Will I get: No

Listened to a lot electronica at the time, particularly Warp releases. Red Snapper was never a favourite. Its the sort of cafe background electronica that doesn't do much for me. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 65/2645(24%) Will I get: No

Been one of my favourite albums for a long long time. Although I can hear the artificiality of its Americana, it still transports you somewhere. And the songs, not a skip! 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 66/266 (24%) Will I get: Already have

Odd I don't have, but there I know and like a few tracks. Its good, poppy grunge, Somewhat samey, but the good ones rise above. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No 66/267 (24%) Will I get: Yes

Really enjoy their next 2 albums, this one is a bit odd. It has a similar vibe as those, but seems colder, less engaging. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No 66/268 (24%) Will I get: No

What a Side 1, been a while since I listened to this, but wow. Side 2, a little less but overall such a beautiful album. 5 Heard before? Some Owned: Yes: 67/269 (24%) Will I get: Already have

Don't think I know any of these songs, more Joy Division than what I've heard. Dislike the tinny 80s drum sounds, liked it less as it went on, but atmospheric dense 80s rock. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No: 67/270 (24%) Will I get: No

I do like some later Coldcut stuff, but this 80s house is not for me. Sounds so dated in a way other electronic music of the time doesn't. Well tracks 2 and 3 are great. Some good tracks throughout but nothing else amazing. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No: 67/271 (24%) Will I get: No

I did like a couple of tracks at the time, and I remember them more than I thought I would. Fine indie rock aiming for the mainstream. Acceptable. 3 Heard before? Yes Owned: No: 67/271 (24%) Will I get: No

My least favourite of his 3, but that's just because how great the other 2 are! Still doesn't hit like the other 2, songs less haunting. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 68/273 (24%) Will I get: Already have

I may have heard this before, I liked the fuzzed out sound, but some of the longer tracks overstay. Might be missing something on this one, or could just be this listening. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No: 68/274 (24%) Will I get: Maybe

Liked the little I heard at the time, but never investigated furher. Youthful indie rock, but rarely takes off in an interesting way. Of course at the time, was great to have a massive guitar band around. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No: 68/275 (24%) Will I get: No

I have never heard of this guy before. Seeing a double album on this list always makes me sad, but it's not his fault! Sounds like jazz, nice jazz, cool jazz, long jazz. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No: 68/276 (24%) Will I get: No

1977, a mountain of amazing, interesting, innovative music is being made around the world. Billy made this. Recoganise a lot of them though, wacks of muzak. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No: 68/277 (24%) Will I get: No

Love Sterolab and this album, they really put out a challange on the first track. Thin the crowd about, but greatness follows. Was so unique at the time,forward looking yet rooted in the past. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 69/279 (24%) Will I get: Already have

Used to have this on tape back as a kid. Been a long time since I listened. The singles are standouts, the rest standard 80s hard rock to my ears. Could have dropped a couple of tracks easily. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 70/280 (25%) Will I get: Already have

Fun live blues. It is hard to take away the decades of shite and apprecitae the blues. Being a live album and short helps. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No: 70/281 (25%) Will I get: No

Another short album, great. it does lose me in the concept, not sure what is going on. It is good county music though. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No: 70/282 (25%) Will I get: No

Some good stuff on this album, but it does sound flat. Great as a foundational text for hip hop, but not sure I'll listen to it again. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No: 70/283 (24%) Will I get: No

I think this is my favoutie Big Black, maybe Albini record too. The first side is flawless. Loud, piercing, metallic, also plenty of melody. Lyrics are more than edgelord posturing, hopefully anyway. 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 71/284 (25%) Will I get: Already have

I don't remember why, but by the time tihs came out I had stopped listening to them. A beautiful sounding album, rich vibrant. Although not as good as the soft bulletin and wears out quicker than that one. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No: 71/285 (25%) Will I get: Maybe

English blues rock. I guess this is an early example. Same same same and more songs about little girls. 2 .5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No: 71/286 (25%) Will I get: No

I loved Summer Teeth when it came out, so at the time this was kind of disapointing. I still think it is the lesser album, but still great. 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 72/287 (25%) Will I get: Already have

Her name didn't register, but have definitely heard that first song before. Pleasantly surprised, but it does fade into the background in that 80s production way. Nice and short too. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: Yes: 72/288 (25%) Will I get: No

This has been on my want to check out list for a while. Familiar with a couple of tracks that I do like. Pretty consistant, some somgs better than others, but overall I like the faux celtic sound he was going for. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No: 72/289 (24%) Will I get: No

Generally pretty meh on love albums, and this list is making me hate 70s rock. But at least this is short. Chugs along nicely, why so many covers? The 15 min my generation is actually pretty cool. Oh and this is the original release. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No: 72/290 (24%) Will I get: No

Just a name I know, but nothing else. Eh, I guess this is good 80s country, but doesn't sound so different from bad 80s country. I just can't get into it. There is a sameness to it all. 2 Heard before? No Owned: No: 72/291 (24%) Will I get: No

Know that 1 song, that's it I think. First impression is, it sounds shit. Sound kind of glam rock. Another album with a song about little girls. Couple of long songs really drag it down. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 74/295 (24%) Will I get: No

Starts real strong, gets a bit samey, but still good. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No 74/296 (24%) Will I get: Maybe

An album I listened to a lot when younger, but one I hadven't listened to in a while. Radiohead kept releaseing better albums (untilt the last 2). Still it is a great album, every song has something interesting about it. Just lacks the depth of the albums that follw! 4.5 rounded down Heard before?

Have heard of him, but never listens. This is very cool 90s hip hop. Lacks the hooks of wu tang but beats are cool. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No 75/298 (25%) Will I get: Already have

A name I know, but not sure I've ever heard a song before. 70s singer songwriter stuff, not terrible, not particularly good. Flows along in the background. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No 75/299 (25%) Will I get: No

Oddly, was listening to a lot of electronica at the time but never got this. Starts very strong.but does descend to bog standard downtempo. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No 75/300 (25%) Will I get: Maybe

Been waiting for this one, never heard it before. A very long concept album yay! Hard to connect with the first few songs, and I don't like the tones. Rock operas reek of high school musicals to me. Got to admire the ambition though. The longer it goes on, the more I dislike it. Picks up again with comfortably numb, then chugs a long until it dissappears up its own arse. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 75/301 (24%) Will I get:

Starts with the source of the Wu Tang sample, so immediately like. Four interesting songs, maybe too long! But easy to get into the songs. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? No Owned: No 75/302 (24%) Will I get: Maybe

Another of my dumb hot takes is that to be over rated you have to be good, so in my mind this is one of the most over rated albums of all time. It's great and all but those instramentals, banal lyrics bring it down. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 76/303 (25%) Will I get: Already have

A nice sounds to this record, whenever it starts to get a bit samey there is a change up. Might be a bit too smooth for me, but seems to be the best of that type of sound. 4 Heard before? No Owned: Yes 76/304 (25%) Will I get: Maybe

Like the poser I am, I only have Scott 4. This is good, some great songs but some mid ones too. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: Yes 76/305 (25%) Will I get: Maybe

The only solo McCartney album I have. Starts great, and mostly stays that way. Loses a bit of quality on side 2. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 78/308 (25%) Will I get: Already have

Never warmed to Devo, this listened didn't change. Hadn't realised Eno produced this. Mongoloid was always a track I liked. The rest is meh new wave that seems flat and detached. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No 78/309 (25%) Will I get: No

A change in sound for Portishead that I thought was great. Not every track hits, but those that do are so good. Although, this was the first listen in quite a while and I liked it less than I used to! 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes. 79/310 (25%) Will I get: Already have

Heard the singles obviously, stands on the list, so a pleasant change. Has a nice flow to it, I can ignore the religious stuff, skipping the concept parts too, 90s cd album bloat. The longer it goes on, the less I like it. 2.5 rounded uo Heard before? Some Owned: Yes. 79/311 (25%) Will I get: No

This is my first Genesis album listen. Immediate hmmm, rock opera concept albums are really hard to connect to. Songs plod along, nothing musically interesting for long stretches of time, everything sounds the same. I think I hate it. Carpet crawlers rescues this side. A few moments on 3 and 4, but I am surprised how much I dislike it. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No. 79/312 (25%) Will I get: No

An album I liked as a teen, but have not listened to since. The first side is pretty good, nice variety in songs, side 2 a bit duller but the End is great. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes. 80/313 (25%) Will I get: Already have

Been waiting for this, the Beefheart I heard I liked, but have never heard this album. Takes a couple of tracks to get into, but it starts to crawl into your skull. But is it good? Hard to say, more interesting than a lot of 70s hard rock slop on this list. Can't imagine a context where I would listen to it again, maybe if I needed to scare away a burglar. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No. 80/314 (25%) Will I get: No

My 4th Bruce, the other 3 all have 3s. Lets see if this can top that. Starts strong, the songs I don't know seem good. Of course Born to Run is magnificant! 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No. 80/317 (25%) Will I get: No

I thought I had this album, but turns out I don't. First few tracks are lacking something, the music is just uninteresting. There are a couple of standouts, but I have heard some live versions of these songs that sounds much better. Mid-Morissey, Vauxhall & I better be on the list! 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No. 82/323 (25%) Will I get: No

Have heard some of these songs, and I have some later Sleater-Kinney. Like that 90s american indie guitar sound, a little rough around edges which is endearing. Could be a bit hookier. Nice and short too! 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No. 82/324 (25%) Will I get: Maybe

Hmm, starts glacial, stays that way. Old songs in 70s are now 50 years old. Just can't get into it. Reading the context is interesting but this reeks of sunday pub covers. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? Some Owned: No. 82/325 (25%) Will I get: No

An incredible album, great to see it here. The range of styles and voices, simple to intricate, so much beauty all over the album. Easy 5. 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 83/326 (25%) Will I get: Already have

66 minites of solo piano was a bit worrying, but I enjoyed it. Alof of variety in intensity, and changes in tempo,etc, keep it engaging. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No 83/327 (25%) Will I get: Maybe

A classic for sure, a couple of lesser tracks but mostly great, contination of the Wu sound, RZA beats the highlight. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 84/328 (25%) Will I get: Already have

The concept doesn't last long. Probably for the best, loads of great songs on here. Imagine if they had left Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane on it! Oddly on this listen, the misses bug me more. Not my favourite Beatles, but up there! 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 85/329 (25%) Will I get: Already have

Skits never age well, skip em. Had this since i was young, first listen in a long time though. A few more mid tracks than I remember but fresher than a lot of the early hip hop on the list. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 86/330 (26%) Will I get: Already have

Hmm, a lot of bad tinny pop shite on here. The phony cool britannia on full display, still a couple of decent tracks. But the more it goes on, the worse it gets, Their next one is much better I think. 2.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 87/331 (26%) Will I get: Already have

Know 2 songs, not quite the rock I like, but not bad. Grew on me, don't think much of the lyrics. Much better than other Soundgarden on the list. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: Yes, 87/332 (26%) Will I get: No

Nice and short but does not start well, the slower tracks are better, less monotonous. Just not liking it. 2.5 rounded down great to release 3 mid albums in one year. Heard before? Some Owned: Yes, 87/333 (26%) Will I get: No

Had this on cassette back in the day! Fun sprawling album, are these guys any good at rapping? I don't know. When Q-Tip shows up, he easily outclasses them. Bloated for sure, but the nostalgia is strong with this one. Zero memory of the last few tracks though. 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 88/334 (26%) Will I get: Already have

I think I've heard this before and liked it. Interesting punk but treads the same ground over and over. Can hear the influcnce they had the Pixies. Had high hopes for this one, thought I was missing out on something, but not really. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No, 88/335 (26%) Will I get: Maybe

Have definitely heard before. Starts ok, but wears thin by track 3. And gets pretty bad, until side 2. Then back to bad pretty quick, dull and uninteresting mostly. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: No, 88/336 (26%) Will I get: No

Hmm, so long. Not bad but nothing grabs you, until over and over. Not getting the grunge label either. Just lacks something, oddly maybe if his voice a bit more polished. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No, 88/337 (26%) Will I get: No

Might not like this as much as I thought. Its been a while. I still like but seems a bit more rambly. By the end I was brought back. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 89/338 (26%) Will I get: Already have

Never heard of them. Interesting, short, varied tempo songs, hear hints of other bands, better bands Radiohead, Fleet Foxes and others. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: Yes, 90/340 (26%) Will I get: No

I have and like their next album, this one I don't know apart from that 1 song. Sighed at the track lenghts but first track is interesting enough, and it carries on like that. Surprised. Last song is pretty terrible though, 3.5 rounded up Heard before? Song Owned: No, 90/341 (26%) Will I get: No

Have heard of him, but don't think I've actually heard any songs. Pleasant indie rock from a period that I wasn't paying much attention to that type of music. Doesn't do it for me, Probably needs a few listens. Was good to find out the last 4 tracks on spotify aren't on the actual album. 3.5 rounded down Heard before?

Have this, but haven't listened in a long time. NY state of mind is still a classic, the rest is pretty good, of course its a sound that was copied a lot the following years. Ends very strong with 2 bangers. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 91/343 (26%) Will I get: Already have

I remember hearing a few tracks when it came out. Very Beatles-y, starts strong but track 5 and the other Moulding track are bad. Dissappointing as it started so strong. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Some Owned: No, 91/344 (26%) Will I get: No

Bought this recent enough, very cool album. Solid, great beats and rhymes, might be too laidback sometime, but overall a classic. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 92/345 (26%) Will I get: Already have

Heard of them, not this album though. Psychedelic soul, something flat and boring about the whole thing. Side 2 is bit better, more what I expected of the temptations. 3 Heard before? No Owned: No, 92/346 (26%) Will I get: No

Have heard the first 2 tracks before and they are great! Has a cool propelling sound, what you'd expect from a drum and bass couple. Hypnotic, only version I could hear was on youtube and its doesn't sound great. Would like to hear it properly 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No, 92/347 (26%) Will I get: Maybe

My knowledge of grindcore is limited. it sounds like I expected it to sound. Cool, I do like some death metal. I like the terrible sound, dumb lyrics. I imagine there are better grindcore albums out there. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No, 92/347 (26%) Will I get: Maybe

Uh oh, not in the mood for this right now. Dull psychedelic rock jams, grows on you after a while, but there is so much of this shit on the list. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No, 92/349 (26%) Will I get: No

Definitely know this one, been a while since I listened though. Starts so strong, many great songs on here. actually not any bad ones actually. Not the album's fault it was played to death. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 93/350 (26%) Will I get: Already have

I used to like this stuff a lot more when I was younger. Now less so. the arrangements are jsut so dull. A fake live track too. Maybe on a different day, I'd like it more. Who knows. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: No, 93/351 (26%) Will I get: No

new to me and a breath of fresh hair, lively, driving, rhythmic, the most interesting one for a while! ALthough best songs are all on side 1. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No, 93/352 (26%) Will I get: Yes

Own it, but haven't really listened before. Some great songs on here, some dreck too. Going home is such a downer, kills the album. Picks up on the 2nd side. Does not need to be 50 mins, could have cut 15-20 mins. 3 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 94/353 (26%) Will I get: Already have
