1001 Albums Summary

This is a bit of a dirge, but I liked it. I give it 3.

Too dull to hold my attention. Mikey put me right off!

Loved this. Perfect for a dinner party. Will definitely listen again. A beautiful voice right there!

Listened to half of it. It was ok. Nothing to object to here.

Love the feel of most of this 1960s jazz. Such influential music! One piece, however, sounded to me like a disappointing school orchestra. I'll still give it a 4 though - you've gotta be good and brave to compose music like that!

Well, I did like this one. I like Blur and I like Gorillaz and here we find Damon Albarn nodding his head in both directions. A drop in quality towards the end. I give it 4.

It's all ok. Just one track would have been ok though. It wouldn't matter which one.

I like what I hear on this album. Although I've only listened to half of it, I've enjoyed the variety of styles across the tracks. A pleasant change after yesterday's monotony.

Like it. We saw Femi Kuti, his son, play at The Festival Hall a few years back.

Started off being impressed with the live musicianship here, from all members of the band. However, I soon tired of Keith's incessant, manic banging of the drums - calm down Keith, calm down! Didn't appreciate the 'comedy' about the girl guide. Won't listen again.

We should never speak of this album again. Awful! And yet, as I write this (on my hols, in a local cafe), you'll never guess what's just come on the radio. Go ahead and jump!!

I loved this high energy masterpiece. Identity is in my top 10.

Unable to listen to this for more than 5 minutes. Wanted to appreciate crackin talent but it's too much for me. I'm out!

Three words. Dull as ditchwater.

I liked this. Didn't wanna listen too closely to the lyrics, but I enjoyed the energy. It had a 'Spinal Tap meet the Ramones' kinda vibe, I thought. I'll give it a 4, but really I felt it was a 3.75.

I thought this was ok. I only listened to half of it. A variety of tracks that did have one thing in common. No tune!

I didn't like this. The world is far too full of this type of thing. Who does this guy think he is? Get lost!

Well, it's hard for me to give this anything but a five, as it contains two tracks which were massive favourites in my youth. So I give it 5.

I don't know any P J Harvey. I've always wondered who she was and what she sounded like. Turns out, she occasionally sounds very much like Radiohead! I liked this album very much. I've been missing out! High 4

Lovely, relaxing music.

Well, in the end I thought this was just ok. Too samey! I think one of these tracks on a compilation would be a delightful breath of fresh air. All the tracks together, though, was too much for me. And too shrill in places. One piece, called Parallelograms, stood out. But then I realised it was a different artist that Spotify had selected. I'd like to hear more from Linda Perhacs!

I thought I'd know all of this LP but infact, I didn't recognise about half of it. Some absolute classics with some new ones to discover. Uplifting and groovey! I give it 5.

I haven't finished this yet, but I'm gonna give it 4. A mixture of 60s cheese and (soon to become) 70s funk. The Jackson 5 and The Osmonds owe a lot to these guys!

Really liked a lot of the music, but the 'monologue' on the last track finished me off. Didn't make it to the end.

I can't ever really forgive Eric Clapton for Layla - one listen of it would have been enough, and yet we've all had to hear it thousands of times. However, I think this album chugged along ok.

Love Dusty. We named our cat after her! Always good to hear Preacher Man, and Windmills of Your Mind is such a good song. It's a 4 from me!

I found this very enjoyable. It chugs along in a very relaxing manner.

This album was disappointing at the time. Duran Duran had already lost their edge and I think most of the album tracks are lazy and pretty unmemorable. Rio the track, and its video were ridiculous. It's still disappointing. I give it 2, only because of Save A Prayer.

Good in parts

Not as good as I remembered. The production should have been better. I still love Why Can't We Live Together though.

Great music, some great lyrics.

Some great tracks, some shockers. The definition of a 3.
