1001 Albums Summary

Very typical 60's sounding psychedelic rock that defined that genre in that era

Not always sure what to make of this album in terms of the tone. Each track brings something different and unique to the album. Goes from easy listening soul to James Bond style music to something out of the Lemon Jelly playbook. I had hoped for a standout tune as per Michael’s “Cold Little Heart” but alas this is pleasant enough to have in the background but doesn’t warrant a detailed re-listen

A range of genres. Rock one minute, medieval the next, instrumental, funk. Always love the unique sound of Jon Anderson's vocals. Feels experimental given Rick Wakeman's influence on synthesisers and the new sounds they were producing. But there are better Yes albums than this one

Starts off with one of the best known White Stripes songs. Some great tracks in the unique White Stripes style, but none quite match that opening track. Get Behind Me Satan is probably a more balanced album.

This album feels like witnessing the birth of the mega band that Queen became. Killer Queen is the obvious stand out track but this has so many less known moments that signal their signature style

Very mixed styles. Some I really enjoy and some I can’t get through and skip! A couple of bangers though

Really enjoyable album!

Another album with mixed styles. Scores highly in part thanks to the all time classic, Every Breath You Take.

Yeah this is pretty awful sounding. It’s like the band members all made the most bizarre tracks independently and then they mixed them altogether later! Appreciate the experimentation just not the result!

An album of two half’s. First half is relaxed, almost reminiscent of Vangelis. Fleetwood Mac or Thomas Newman. The second half is when the singing starts and detracts from the quality in the first. A nice sounding album when instrumental!

Very pleasant listening!

Generic 90s rock!

Nice to have some variation from all the rock music. I mean Imagine was a surprise but in general this was reasonable

Fantastic album! So many classics on there!

One stand out track 😂

Lovely bit of jazz!

I generally don’t enjoy hip hop but this album by Common has some great tracks to have pleasantly playing in the background

Such a unique sounding voice. Enjoyed listening to this if you don't listen too closely to the lyrics and ignore the personality of the man himself!

Distinct Belle & Sebastian sounds but feels a little homogeneous

Some great funk with tracks that aren’t afraid to be long listens

Not awful but got bored of this quickly

Feels almost too archetypal 50s country

Great opening track and nice background rock thereafter

Another album where one song is just just so much more well known generally than others

Great album. Lots of fun!

Obviously Walk This Wsy is a classic. Everything else is generic and bland so splitting this down the middle

Not really my cup of tea. Can hear moments of good music but overall in the minority by saying this was not for me

Absolute classics

You can see where the White Stripes took their influences from

Enjoyed the random spoken word

Lots of fun whimsy that becomes too repetitive. Brimful of Asha is obviously a classic though

Like all others have said, this is so similar in style to the Beatles it’s almost mistakable for them. Just doesn’t reach the same heights as their doppelgängers

Reminds of Billy Bailey’s impression of Billy Bragg

Couldn’t get into this. Just seems slightly discordant

Feels quite like a jam session in the studio than an album. Love All Along The Watchtower

Distinctive sound of Sananda Maitreya. Wishing Well and Sign Your Name have that real sound of the 80s!

Obviously good because the Beatles but fairly nondescript as their albums go
