Hippies who took too many drugs and mistakenly decided they should be in a band. No one should think this is in the top 1001 albums of all time. Will not listen again
Easy - Girl from Iponema
Boss - classic but not keen on his voice
Classic Led
Astral jazz? "Calming - I quite like it" - Caroline
Cool - Bosch - Sunday morning
Comfortable and familiar. Feels Older than it is. Grunge but modern.
Quintessential shoe gaze - overall a bit much for me
Old skool rap - better than I expected.
It seems they were trying to decide whether to be prog rock, classic rock or heavy metal. The transitions mid-song might be important in musical history but that didn't make them enjoyable to listen to
Holds together as a piece - wistful but somehow uplifting. Special mention for Early Morning Breeze.
Caroline exposed herself as a mad Meatloaf fan - worth it just for that. Classic rock - overblown but enjoyable
Got us talking about "The Big Bopper" - worth it for that.
Proto-clash - punk but at the very edge - you can almost hear future clash in the background
Not for me - bit to 'experimental' not a relaxing listen
Surprised this made it to the top 1000 - nothing special just some run of the mill punk/post-punk
Nice enough, another genre-less album - excellent vocals and orchestral backing.
Good but rap doesn't sit right with me - I'll never be able to sing along!
Classic REM - worth it just for Orange Crush
Plenty that I recognised, a classic from my past.
Bit too long - it sounds vaguely familiar but I can't put my finger on why.
Angry. but you definitely listen to it!
Bobby can sing - which makes him a pleasure to listen to - even if this drifts dangerously close to easy listening. Soul with a hint of funk.
Bob innit. Shouldn't be good but really is
All brilliant, a treat from my musical formative years. One of my personal top ten.
Not for me - experimental, bit jazzy but not really. Ok as background listening but sometimes breaks the mood by being shrieky and discordant.
I should like it but I don't. Too much of a dirge. You couldn't even put it on as background music as it is too depressing.
Some of it was alright, some was annoying
Just like Dolly, but not Dolly.

Actually better than I was expecting. Foolish amount of swearing but that just amuses me.
Somewhere between Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, and to be honest I'd rather listen to either of them.
Victoria is great - the rest I could take or leave. Not sure they needed to try and make a concept album.
Strange, ambient, dance. Not really something I would listen too.
Not sure how to describe this - bit of rock, bit of folk, bit of soul. Enjoyed it.
For my money the best Zep. Love it.
Classic soul. Not something I'd come across before but very enjoyable.
The title track is obviously the draw here, after that some easy "jazz"? Fine as background but pales in comparison to the first track.
Inoffensive - not something I'd rush back to listen to but happy to have it on in the background
His voice is comforting, like being wrapped in an old blanket and the acoustic guitar adds to the calming effect. It inserted itself into my subconscious enough for me to listen a second time later in the day. I was vaguely aware of the title track before but really enjoyed the album - will listen again.
An hour of jazz is too much jazz for me. No doubt this is important is music history but I have simple tastes and I like lyrics to go with my melody
Couldn't get excited by this - it just felt like noise. It should be my sort of thing but isn't. I feel you might as well listen to the Stereophonics instead - they are this but better.
Proto-punk gave off Bowie/Lou vibes. Fine but not particularly memorable.
Definitely a Rolling Stones album. Not my favourite, but adequate.
Couldn't have told you what Willie sounded like before listening to this. Easy listening but nothing special
Genuinely difficult to listen to. I gave it a try but it just wasn't for me.
Indistinguishable from the White Stripes - and I find his voice slightly off-putting. Not awful, not brilliant.
Not bad - Pump it Up is a classic. Would listen again
I don't get the hype. It is fine for what it is - bland pop with very little heart. There is so much better stuff out there - I won't be listening again.
WTAF - this was tough, tough listen. I have no idea how to describe it - my best attempt would be Talking Heads but before they were famous and without the musical chops
I just wasn't in the mood for this. On another day maybe I would have appreciated it's heart and commitment - but today it just wasn't melodious enough for me.
The soundtrack of my early-teens, familiar but uninspiring
She has a fine voice, but I'm not going to listen to 4 hours of show tunes.
Decent tunes but not outstanding - happy to sing along to the ones I knew
More country than I was expecting, then more blues. Not too bad.
I'd never heard of Gene before, so I went in with no expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed this - will listen again.
