1001 Albums Summary

Bit dated for my taste, some catchy songs like tin solider man and lazy old sun

Very good for its time, let the good times roll definitely the best upbeat song, am I blue best melancholic song.

A great album for any mood. Break on through and light my fire are the classics along with the end

Not my kind of jam, has an amazing voice though. Angeles is ok but nothing else really.

An album to take mushrooms to. Sunshine of your love is a classic but nothing else really stood out.

Pretty good, got those "end of the night after everyone's left the pub" vibes. Dreamer is the big hit but hide in your shell and the closer crime of the century are good too.

Absolute banger of an album, very easy to listen to start to finish. Personal jesus is the timeless classic but world in my eyes and enjoy the silence are great too.

Didn't expect to enjoy an album like this one, was a pleasant listen. Rococo zephyr, eid ma clack shaw and too many birds were my faves.

Very niche, I can appreciate how it separates itself from a lot of other rocks bands of its time. Star, if they move kill em and trainspotting are my top 3.

Not bad but not good, pretty mid but I'm sure it was a hit in the 80's. Best songs are spellbound and Arabian Knights.

Brilliant album, one of the best of the 2000's, has a bit of everything thats good about this band in it. Seven nation army is an all timer, ball and biscuit, and the hardest button to button are great too.

Pretty meh on the first listen but feels like it would grow on me if given the chance. Best songs were advert, Chemical world and oily water

Nice album, I liked how there was songs with no lyrics interspersed throughout. Music is love, cowboy movie and laughing are my picks.

Seems very repetitive, probably a ground breaking album when it came out but doesn't do it for me. It's like that is only song that carries its weight

Peak GnR, pretty much has all their classics, top shelf dad rock. Welcome to the jungle, nightrain, paradise city and sweet child o'mine.

Interesting, haven't listened to much of the Beatles, however the variance in each song was intriguing, though not as immersive as I was expecting. Lucy in the sky with diamonds, getting better and when I'm sixty four are my top 3.

Amazing backstory behind the creation of this album, Manu is a well travelled man. Luna y sol, bongo bong and welcome to Tijuana are my top 3.

Funny I got this album right after the Manu Chao one, the Latin 1-2 combo. Didn't mind it but the only song that has stuck with me in the 3 days since listening to it was superbacana.

Hard to get a grasp on this one the first time through but some songs are catchy, didn't mind it but don't love it. Top 3 are ladybird, glam racket and I'm going to Spain

Can definitely hear the south African influence on the album, not that I've listened to much Paul Simon previously but it makes this album unique. Top 3 songs are graceland, diamonds on the sole of her shoes and you can call me Al.

One of the best albums of its time, amazing song writing and variety throughout. Best 3 are money for nothing (didn't know the original was 9 mins long), walk of life and that saxophone in your latest trick

Never been huge on country but lyrically, this album hits, I definitely rate it. Top 3 are honky tonk heroes, old five and dimers and willy the wandering gypsy and me.

Eh not really my sort of jam, a lot of it just blends together and sounds like nonsense, exacerbated by going for over an hour. Boys better, minnesoter and cool as Kim deal are my top 3

I guess this was peak Jay-Z? Not a massive fan, but other than the collision course album, I've never really rated what he has done. Top 3 are takeover, song cry and izzo.

Right before peak nirvana, this is still up there with one of the best grunge albums of the 90's. Timeless classic. Top 3 are pennyroyal tea, all apologies and heart-shaped box

Another top tier dad rock album, great guitar arrangements and as Don Henley said himself - the band probably peaked on this album. Top 3 are hotel California, life in the fast lane and new kid in town.

Had its moments, another one of those that would grow on you after a few listens. Top 3 are southern man, only love can break your heart and after the gold rush.

Quite a melancholic album, considering he was essentially on his death bed he definitely went out with a bang. Top 3 are you want it darker, on the level and traveling light.
