1001 Albums Summary

First two songs off the album are great, diminishing returns from there for me. Like the instrumentals for the most part but struggle with too much of this variety of American rock. Fav tracks: Search and Destroy, Gimmie Danger. Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#270)

Loved it, perfect prog-rock that flows so smoothly from one track to the next. Incredible opener with Roundabout. Fav tracks: Roundabout, Long Distance Runaround, Mood for a Day Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#297)

First time listening to Transformer cover to cover. Pretty familiar with the hits, so I think I expected more from the album as a whole. Still, can see why it's held up as a classic, its peaks are incredibly high. Fav tracks: Vicious, Perfect Day, Walk on the Wild Side, Satellite of Love. Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#467)

Just so good. Difficult to differentiate its highlights because of its consistency. Fav tracks: Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I’m Only Sleeping, Here There and Everywhere, For No One, Got To Get You Into My Life, Tomorrow Never Knows. Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#16)

Some undeniably great grooves, but not really for me. Album felt a lot longer than it is. Fav tracks: Devils Haircut. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Wow this list is just different varieties of white guy rock, hey. Went into this a bit jaded which has maybe harshed my judgment but I just really really don't care that much about this album. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Sure Saved a song: N RYM: N

What's this?? A non-rock album?? Aaaand I hate it. This passing the muster for the list does not fill me with confidence for albums to come. Talking Heads cover was fairly upsetting and boy do I really hate Jericho. From there it somehow keeps getting worse. There's a redeeming moment or two (I don't hate Come to My Aid) but shit me I couldn't wait for it to be over. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Let out a huge sigh as this started, wasn't ready for more white guy rock. Not sure how much that impacted the experience but did enjoy a couple of songs on the back end. Fav tracks: Nightime, Blue Moon Saved a song: Y RYM: N

Maybe not quite at the level it used to be for me, but still an absolutely classic album. Fav tracks: Debaser, Here Comes Your Man, Mr Grieves, Crackity Jones, Hey. Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#71)

Ends up becoming too much of the same thing for me. You Want It Darker is incredible. Fav tracks: You Want It Darker, Treaty Saved a song: Y RYM: N

Better and more consistent than I expected, having only really ever heard the hits. Not one I'm racing back to listen to though. Fav tracks: Hello, Don't Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory Saved a song: N RYM: N

13/13 white male rock or white male rock adjacent albums. I'm tired, boss. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Let's go. One of the best with one of their best. Offers something different and memorable with each song. Fav tracks: Gasoline Dreams, So Fresh So Clean, Ms. Jackson, Spaghetti Junction, B.O.B., Xplosion, Humble Mumble, Slum Beautiful. Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#350)

Really into Solange's angelic voice and consistent grooves. It's so smooth that it very occasionally gets tiring. Would be a perfect 30-40 minute album. Fav tracks: Weary, Cranes in the Sky, Junie. Saved a song: Y RYM: N

Understand its significance but found it a tough listen. Hoping 2001 shows up on this list. Fav tracks: Nuthin But a G Thing. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#930)

So fun. Have spent a lot more time with Dirty Computer but this is just as good. Fav tracks: Dance or Die, Faster, Locked Inside, Cold War Saved a song: Y RYM: N

Inoffensive but mediocre. Bit of a slog to finish. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Earned its additional star by unlocking a Simpsons reference. Other than that pretty whimsical and sweet. Fav tracks: Gotta Get Up. Saved a song: N RYM: N

The songs just sorta blend into each other in an okay way. Saved a song: N RYM: N

I hope the title doesn't mean what I think it means. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Sometimes Reznor's vocal style gets in the way of this going from an album I appreciate to an album I enjoy. One that I will definitely return to. Fav tracks: Hurt. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#78)

Sometimes fun Britpop, interesting to find out where the song Alright comes from. Saved a song: N RYM: N

The vocals don't do much for me but it's instrumentally pretty incredible. Fav tracks: YXZ, Limelight. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#368)

Needs a relisten with quality headphones. Fav tracks: Run, Shine a Light. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Pretty cool. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#984)

Fav tracks: A Change Is Gonna Come Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#934)

Such an unusual blend of 15% enjoyable and otherwise completely insufferable. lol Drive Saved a song: N RYM: N

Am I going to have to listen to every single f The Who album? Saved a song: N RYM: N

Really swings - each marginally too corny to want to relisten. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Good god this is sad. Think I might be more of a fan of his other stuff but this is obviously still classic sad boy stuff. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#469)

Background music. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#351)

There's definitely stuff to enjoy in here but Clapton gives me the ick. Probably the racism and the anti-vax. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Too spacey n weird. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#811)

Was hoping to be more enthused about this one but didn’t do heaps for me. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#722)

Still can’t get into Zeppelin Fav songs: Immigrant Song Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#1,066)

Incredible. Might convert. Fav songs: Love's In Need Of Love Today, Sir Duke, I Wish, Pastime Paradise, Isn't She Lovely, Black Man, If It's Magic. Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#27)

Okay took two listens but this is so good. Fav tracks: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#275)

That’ll do, Who. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#723)

Might need to revisit. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#10)

Not sure what happened, but there was a time where I liked this album a lot more. Occasionally interesting and pleasant but often found it pretty boring. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#1,084)

Sadly just can't fully get into this sound. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#18)

Saved a song: N RYM: N

Yucky - did not finish. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Feeling rough and have fittingly had a rough 3 album trot. Saved a song: N RYM: N

This is pretty great. Might have found my ceiling for Britpop. Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#521)

Not my favourite Bowie but shit this is funky. Fav tracks: Young Americans, Fame Saved a song: Y RYM: N

Incredible album. Sometimes challenges me more than other Beatles albums with its abbrasiveness and gender blending. Fav tracks: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Getting Better, A Day in the Life. Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#42)

Bit of a slog at over 2 hours. Can't believe there are longer versions of this album. Fav tracks: 1979 Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#338)

More fun than I expected. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Is me thinking this is increible background music a reflection of my impatience? Pian-i RYM: Y (#882) Saved a song: N

Fun production, doesn't get me going like some of his other work. Really love the direction of the back half. Fav tracks: "Heroes" RYM: Y (#186) Saved a song: N

This is fire why do 1001 users hate prog rock so. RYM: Y (#183) Saved a song: N

Somehow not as bad as I expected but still pretty bad. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Do we fucking have to RYM: N Saved a song: N

Ntb. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Great stuff - most I have ever appreciated this album. Fav tracks: Like a Rolling Stone, Ballad of a Thin Man, Queen Jane Approximately Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#65)

Liked it a lot more than the top reviews and score on this site suggested. Still not particularly memorable amongst the dearth of quality 60s rock that does it better. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Atlantic City and the album more broadly is probably the most Bruce has ever worked on me. Will revisit. Fav tracks: Atlantic City RYM: Y (#749) Saved a song: Y

Enjoyed this way more than I expected. Refreshing to have a female led rock group on this list. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Pretty quickly blended into the background for me but still some good stuff. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Considerably too long but you can’t argue with the head-nodding beats and polite raps of De La. Fav tracks: Eye Know, Potholes in my Lawn, Buddy, Me Myself and I RYM: Y (#1,081) Saved a song: Y

Occasionally fun however pretty repetitive, sometimes sounding like a really boring video game soundtrack. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Find it hard to rate albums like this that I can appreciate but will just never do it for me. RYM: Y (#939) Saved a song: N

Was so excited to see a contemporary rnb album on the list that I hadn’t heard of. Sadly it doesn’t do it for me to the extent I had hoped. Has me wondering how or why it ended up on the list. Fav tracks: The Other Side RYM: N Saved a song: N

All felt a bit too same-y, sadly. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Stunningly gorgeous. Need to revisit more often. RYM: Y (#44) Saved a song: Y

Disorder is really great and thought I was onto a new favourite but shit me the rest is bleak. Fav tracks: Disorder RYM: Y (#48) Saved a song: N

Lenny really feeling himself on this one. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Can’t finish it but also don’t absolutely hate it. Brought back fond memories of listening to the Limewire rip of Come Out and Play on an iPod nano, at least. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Leaves me wanting more without knocking me over. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Having only ever been exposed to Joni Mitchell via Blue, this was such a pleasant surprise. Really lovely stuff. Fav tracks: Court and Spark, Help Me, Just Like This Train. RYM: Y (#694) Saved a song: N

Top shelf, must revisit ASAP. Fav tracks: Rocks Off, Shine a Light, Soul Survivor. RYM: Y (#411) Saved a song: Y

Adding this to the "I think it's good but still can't fully get around it" pile. What was all the fish cake stuff? RYM: N Saved a song: N

Starts too strong for it's own good. Fav tracks: Sunday Bloody Sunday. RYM: N Saved a song: Y

Woah what the heck, so good. That Nas sample... Fav tracks: Intro, You Sent Me Flying, In My Bed. RYM: N Saved a song: Y

Absolute classic (albeit slightly too long). RYM: Y (#63) Saved a song: N

Smooth as butter RYM: Y (#578) Saved a song: N

Some solid bluesy covers and interesting to hear the early Stones. Not something I would ever feel the need to return to, though. RYM: N Saved a song: N

So cool. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Couldn't get past 3 songs, what the actual is this. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Thematically/lyrically corny (to be expected) but really pleasantly suprised, super listenable and enjoyable. RYM: N Saved a song: N

All-time opener and great Australian representation. Without having listened to an AC/DC album in full this did more for me than I expected. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Having listened to this album, particularly Jesus, Etc quite a few times, I approached with apprehension. Some albums that I once thought I was a big fan of have cropped up on this list, only for me to find that the sheen has worn off. Fortunately for me, YHF was the opposite. Beautiful instrumentation and lyrics drive this peaceful modern classic. RYM: Y (#257) Saved a song: Y

Really grew on me. Feels more blues-rock than psychedelic. Consistent crop of well produced entertaining songs. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Pleasant enough. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Talking f heads. Fav tracks: I Zimbra, Life During Wartime, Heaven. RYM: Y (#193) Saved a song: Y

Perfect foreground and background music. Genuine discovery for me. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Enjoyed the instrumental stuff more than the rest but still a pretty interesting album. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Really quite good hey. Fav tracks: Cry Baby, Mercedes Benz, Trust Me. RYM: N Saved a song: Y

Mf Creedence. Fav tracks: Green River, Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Sinister Purpose. Saved a song: Y RYM: N

More Than a Feeling goes extremely hard. Other than that I can mostly take it or leave it outside of some fun moments. Let Me Take You Home tonight gives me the ick. Fav tracks: More Than a Feeling Saved a song: N RYM: N

Some incredibly beautiful songs but for whatever reason it didn’t 100% stick. Definitely on the revisit list because I can only see it growing in my estimation. RYM: Y (#134) Saved a song: Y

Have always casually enjoyed Paul Simon songs without completely diving in. I find something about the specific style and sound of this album pretty moving and strangely, almost confronting nostalgic. I do understand the corny accusations and it does trail off a little towards the end for me. Fav tracks: The Boy in the Bubble, Graceland, I Know What I Know, Diamonds. RYM: Saved a song: N

Such a pleasant surprise to see GREY Area on this list :’) Fav tracks: Offence, Wounds, Selfish, Boss, Venom, 101 FM, Pressure Saved a song: Y RYM: N

Full extra star for having the GOAT Doors song. Fav tracks: Peace Frog Saved a song: Y RYM: N

So much fun. Fav tracks: Seven Nation Army, Black Math, Ball and Biscuit, The Hardest Button to Button Saved a song: Y RYM: N

Beautiful but I find it almost hard to listen through the sadness and melacholy. Fav tracks: Tangled up in Blue, Simple Twist of Fate, You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome, Shelter from the Storm. Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#85)

Theres an energy and a tempo to this which is fun but the songs ultimately run together for me and I barely realised it had started again. Very 3pm at a music festival or 9pm at the pub. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Great change of pace and energy but fades into the background for me. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Heaps going for it, just can't completely get into it. Fav tracks: Spellbound RYM: Y (#306) Saved a song: N

Healthy dose of nostalgia on this one, despite not being able to name more than 1-2 songs. The “worse Radiohead” comp is probably unfair despite the similarities. Yeah they’re dorky but there’s a particular accessibility to their sound and some pop sensibility’s deeply scratched. All that being said, I was very ready for it to be over. RYM: N Saved a song: N

I think I’m more of a small doses Steely Dan listener but still a worthy classic. The playful instrumentation in the background gets me every time. Fav tracks: Do it Again, Dirty Work, Reelin' in the Years. RYM: Y (#536) Saved a song: Y

Somehow feels contemporary. Can definitely sense its influence. RYM: (#698) Saved a song: N

Pure. Am grateful for the new lease this site has given me on Dylan's music. It's alright, Ma. It's life and life only. Fav tracks: Subterranean Homesick Blues, Mr. Tambourine Man, It's Alright Ma, It's All Over Now Baby Blue. RYM: Y (#137) Saved a song: Y

Inoffensive but I’m pretty bored. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Wish I liked this more than I do. Might have been underwhelmed after reading some glowing reviews before listening. Might need a re-listen. RYM: Y (#391) Saved a song: N

I occasionally can’t hack Plant’s voice but there’s no denying IV’s greatness and status. When the Levee Breaks rocked me. Fav tracks: Black Dog, When the Levee Breaks. RYM: Y (#74) Saved a song: Y

Incredible. Need to continually revisit. RYM: Y (#3) Saved a song: Y

Pure and joyful in any context and any mood. Expected but greatful that it's featured on this list. Fav tracks: Chan Chan, Candela. RYM: Y (#577) Saved a song: Y

First time listening to an Elvis album. Probably don't need to do that again. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Heart of Glass a banger but otherwise this doesn't really do anything for me. Fav tracks: Heart of Glass RYM: N Saved a song: N

Really like parts of this but it’s all a bit of a blur. Might be my fault, I should revisit. RYM: Y (#334) Saved a song: N

One of the most interesting experiences of an album I have ever had. Went from thinking he was taking the piss to listening to it twice in a row. Still can’t quite figure out where I stand but it was a ride nonetheless. I’ll probably never listen to it again but I appreciate the time we had together. RYM: N Saved a song: N

One of my all timers from the man with a flawless catalogue. Want to weep from the opening guitar lick and not stop until it’s through. RYM: Y (#168) Saved a song: N

Conflicted as I Can't work out if I don't like this album as much as I once did, or I need to listen to it in a particualr mood. Found it pretty tiresome. Still love the instrumentals. Fav tracks: Svefn-g-englar, Staralfur RYM: Y (#115) Saved a song: N

Often fun, occasionally strays into “we have avalanches at home”. Still worthwhile. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Try as I might I can’t really handle Tom Waits 90% of the time. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Not really for me. RYM: N Saved a song: N

What did I do to deserve two Waits albums in three days. Less actively unpleasant than the last one but kind of just annoying. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Definitely understand the appeal in a certain context, but never something that I’ll just chuck on. Spin back around to the start without me noticing which is the telltale sign of a 3/5. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Surprised at how familiar I was with most of this. There are definitely highlights but listening to the album in full is a reasonably morbid experience. Some pretty pretentious stuff here. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Rough around the edges to the point where if it was any longer, it would be too much. As is, it’s a tight cohesive collection of chaos and noise. Fav tracks: Bone Machine, Gigantic, Where Is My Mind, Vamos. RYM: Y (#395) Saved a song: N

Pretty listenable but doesn’t really stack up with those coming out with similar stuff at the time. RYM: N Saved a song: N

I had this vague idea that I like the Scissor Sisters as a result of the renewed popularity of Let’s Have a Kiki. After slogging through this whiny record I can confidently say I do not. Couldn’t finish. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Supergood. Had me from the opening moments. Deserves many a re-listen. Fav tracks: Little Child Runnin Wild, Pusherman Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#580)

Holy shit no thank you. How is this not mercilessly clowned. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Didn’t need this and didn’t finish it. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Generous 3 because it’s a rung above what I’ve been getting recently. RYM Saved a song: N

I've always expected this to be an instant favourite for me once I finally got around to listening to it properly. Couldn't get 100% of the way there but it's still doing heaps. That being said there are too many classics for it not to be a 5. Fav tracks: Let's Go Crazy, Darling Nikki, When Doves Cry, I Would Die 4 U. Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#204)

Not my favourite Creedence but any Creedence is good Creedence. Fav tracks: Good Golly Miss Molly, Proud Mary Saved a song: Y RYM: N

Really enjoyable, love that the list exposes me to stuff like this. RYM: Y (#569) Save a song: N

Pretty uninteresting despite a few standout songs. Was hoping for more given how much I liked War. Fav tracks: With or Without You. RYM: N Saved a song: N

This sound is still iconic and this album rips. Can’t get to a 5 as some songs bleed into each other. Still, needs to be listened to loud and intentionally. Bring The Pain hits like no other song on this list so far. Fav tracks: Bring The Pain RYM: N Saved a song: Y

Undisputed classic. Kenny a modern great. Fav tracks: Wesley’s Theory, King Kunta, Institutionalized, Alright, Momma, Hood Politics, How Much a Dollar Cost, Blacker the Berry, i RYM: Y (#1) Saved a song: Y

Back to back Kendrick and back to back 5/5. Might like this more than TPAB at the moment. Fav tracks: Backseat Freestyle, The Art of Peer Pressure, Money Trees, Poetic Justice, Mad City, Swimming Pools, Sing About Me, Black Boy Fly. RYM: Y (#6) Saved a song: Y

At times hauntingly beautiful at times it fades into the background. Worth a proper relisten. Fav tracks: Blue, A Case of You RYM: Y (#132) Saved a song: N

Just didn’t need to finish this at all. Generous 2. RYM: N Saved a song: N

How does this end up on the list. I feel like I have high tolerance for this folksy American brand of singer songwriter acoustic guitar sound, but this feels like a parody of anything good about that. Gets more insufferable as it goes and I did not finish. Yeesh. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Never completely going to be my type of thing but there’s a lot to appreciate here. RYM: Y (#369) Saved a song: N

Liked but didn’t love. Spotify continued to play some of her other stuff which does more for me. Son of a Preacher Man still an absolute banger. Fav tracks: Son of a Preacher Man Saved a song: N RYM: N

How tf is this on the list. Had the thought “it must be over now” and it was 20 minutes in. RYM: N Saved a song: N

NERD by name and by nature. Slightly outstays its welcome but I do have nostalgia for this sound. Fav tracks: The Way She Moves RYM: N Saved a song: N

Pleasant enough without blowing me away. Song Without Words absolute wank though. Saved a song: N RYM: N

Can't say I enjoyed this as it faded well into the background. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Pretty solid for the most part but eventually became a chore. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Really fun and groovy. Breaks a decent run of mid. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Can't believe I bobbed my head to the first 15 seconds of this. Kind of wanted to make it through the whole things because it's impressively bad. Could not and would not. Probably the worst album on this list so far. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Yeah this sucks. Couldn’t finish. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Why does this sound so much like it was released in the early 80s (derogatory). Some interesting stuff in the middle of the album but never worth it. Lean run for me on this list. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Flawless album. Need to re-listen over and again. Fav tracks: Five Years, Soul Love, Moonage Daydream, Star, Ziggy Stardust RYM: Y (#13) Saved a song: Y

Comfortable classic, comfortable 5. RYM: Y (#67) Saved a song: Y

Never going to be my thing but can appreciate parts of this. Adjusted to one star because of the snoring wtf. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Liked it without really caring about it. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Some pretty intense nostalgia and a healthy dose of cultural and personal cringe for the time. Still, why was that so good? The hits are still all there and I got plenty out of some of the lesser light tracks. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Enjoyable albeit a little underwhelming. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Not fun or interesting enough to commit an hour and a half to this. RYM: N Saved a song: N

I mean it’s never going to be anything other than a 5, but it deserves a better relisten. RYM: Y (#106) Saved a song: Y

Couldn’t ever get into it, which is a shame because it has a lot of the things I’m into. Back to making plans for Nigel, for me. RYM: Y (#835) Saved a song: N

Enjoyable in the way I’ll enjoy all Paul Simon but far from his best and fairly unmemorable. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Re-listen. RYM: Y (#59) Saved a song: N

So good, need to re-listen. Obviously a Common album and his delivery and flows are top notch but prime Kanye clearly has his hands all over this. Production is absolutely immense. Fav tracks: Be, Go!, The Corner. Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#470)

The “we have x at home” jokes are often exaggerated for effect. This is truly the exception that proves the rule. Couldn’t finish. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Deserves its iconic status but there’s no denying how poorly some of the lyrical content has aged. Makes for a slightly tough listen at times. That being said, the production, energy, flows stand the test of time. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Big surprise for me. Really good opening 3 tracks and then remains consistent throughout. RYM: N Saved a song: N

No strong feelings either way, don’t really know what to make of this. RYM: #556 Saved a song: N

Starts interestingly enough but by the end not at all worth it. Thank goodness for its relatively short 37 minute runtime. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Don’t really like this, corny corn dad rock. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Boring annoying can’t decide what it wants to be white boy singer song writer ahh RYM: N Saved a song: N

So unexpected that I had to check it really was the Alice Cooper who I recognise. In a good way! Still doesn’t mean I like it because I don’t really, but that has to count for something??? Lean lean run for me. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Pretty consistent but the non album singles that Spotify queued after the album did more for me. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Very familiar with the singles but had no idea how much this album rips as a whole. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Didn't mind it but will likely never think aobut it again. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Beautiful, peaceful. RYM: N Saved a song: N

I often claim "I only like a select few ABBA songs" but that could well be beacuse I've only heard the singles. This whole album is really fun and worthwhile. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Took a couple of spins but it's incredible. Great discovery for me and a must revisit. Fav tracks: Suspended in Gaffa, The Dreaming RYM: Y (#149) Saved a song: Y

One of those conflicting albums that is clearly good but I just don't enjoy that much. Blister in the Sun a banger though, nice to know where it comes from. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Still really does it for me. Fav tracks: Unfinished Sympathy Saved a song: N RYM: N

Sympathy for the Devil an all-timer but the rest sadly fades into the background. RYM: Y (#897) Saved a song: N

Halfway through Jesus of Suburbia I thought I was really going to like this. Then their sound wore thin. Then it wore really thin. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Really great, worthy revisit. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Unique sound and talent. Fav tracks: Gloria, Redondo Beach Saved a song: Y RYM: Y (#474)

I can see why some find it sickly sweet but when it’s good, it’s incredible. Updated to a 5 after I Believe. Fav tracks: Superstition, Blame it on the Sun, I Believe. RYM: Y (#584) Saved a song: Y

I feel like this deserves better than its average rating but I'm going to give it pretty much exactly its average rating. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Grooves. Lots of fun. Fav tracks: Everyday People, Sing a Simple Song. RYM: Y (#757) Saved a song: N

Way too long, no way I'm finishing this. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Oof this is really bad. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Albeit their later stuff, I was completely swept up by RHCP as a kid. Them more than anyone else I used to like, I find almost completely insufferable now. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Holy fuck this is so boring. Another album skipped. RYM: N Saved a song: N

High on the re-listen list. So much fun from the opening seconds. RYM: N Saved a song: N

I'd love to say I went into this with an open mind but I absolutely did not. Ended up enjoying it more than I expected even though it overstayed its welcome and is pretty reductive/forgetable. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Interesting enough without ever really hooking me for a second listen. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Not exaclty my thing but still very cool. Piece of My Heart rips. RYM: N Saved a song: Y

By This River an absolute classic but the rest of the album is consistently really good without blowing me away. RYM: Y (#492) Saved a song: N

Very nearly skipped the whole album as my patience for this project wanes. Scrubbed through a lot of songs. Rollin still tickles some nostalgia but it’s pretty painful overall. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Really fun. Great to have something pretty different on the list. Saved me from a rubbish run. Fav track: Masters Call RYM: N Saved a song: Y

The janglin’ on I Wanna Be Your Dog is truly something. Fav tracks: I Wanna Be Your Dog Saved a song: Y RYM: N

So lame. Falls just sort of being a 1. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Wow is this boring and mediocre. U2 once again front loading their album. Not even Beautiful Day can save this as an entire project. Fav tracks: Beautiful Day Saved a song: N RYM: N

So pretty. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Background dance. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Not particularly interesting but fun enough. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Despite appreciating the music, I’m still yet to fully connect with Neil Young. RYM: Y (#312) Saved a song: N

My favourite of all The Who albums but that's not saying heaps. Mostly by virtue of Baba O'Reilly. Fav tracks: Baba O'Reilly Saved a song: N RYM: Y (#515)

Incredible. True classic and one of my all-timers. Saved a song: Y RYM: N

Washes over pleasantly enough without grabbing me. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Nicky D is the absolute man. Hauntingly beautiful, he will always have a perfect discography. RYM: Y (#295) Saved a song: N

Don't hate it but it feels pretty far from being worthwhile on this list. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Great album. Fav tracks: Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space RYM: Y (#821) Saved a song: N

Get a kick hearing songs I'm familiar with but don't know their origin. Sunshine of Your Love a Prime example of that. The rest of the album doesn't quite do as much for me. RYM: N Saved a song: Y

Unfortunately find this a little underwhelming despite its acclaim. There are elements that really appeal to me but it’s too dreamy and ethereal to capture me fully. RYM: Y (#206) Saved a song: N

Worth listening to but nothing memorable. Better served live than through Spotify. RYM: N Saved a song: N

As someone who is lukewarm on Come On Eileen at best, I was putting off listening to this for a long time. As expected almost none of it worked for me and I couldn’t get through it. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Babe I’m Gonna Leave You is huge but as with everything else Zeppelin in can’t get into Plant’s singing. RYM: Y (#278) Saved a song: N

Far from my favourite Common work, drags on a little and misses sorely the beats from Be. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Ultimately pretty painful to listen to. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Really boring. Far too much U2 here. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Doesn't quite blow me away but still really worth the time and list. RYM: Y (#58) Saved a song: N

Fairly uninteresting. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Super boring, in the doldrums of this list. Encapsulates this lists skew to mediocre music by brand name artists. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Good and can see its obvious seminality but not something I can take a whole album of. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Not quite my new favourite band but there's a lot here that I unexpectadly liked. Fav tracks: Hate to Say I Told You So RYM: N Saved a song: N

Boring. RYM: Y (#930) Saved a song: N

Didn't get through it, Blur have highlights but this is a slog. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Maybe feeling generous having been so uninspired of late but this has a lot going for it. RYM: N Saved a song: N

So glad it's on this list. RYM: N Saved a song: Y

As good as 80s synth pop is going to get for me. While that’s not very good, it’s something! RYM: N Saved a song: N

Infectious rhythm. RYM: Y (#264) Saved a song: Y

So boring. Couldn’t wouldn’t finish. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Finished without me noticing which is never a great sign. Is fun at times though. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Just so far from my thing. RYM: Y (#343) Saved a song: N

Very smooth but not that exciting. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Enjoyed it far more than I expected. Saved a song: Y RYM: N

Might have gone and found a new favourite. Starts to lose a bit of steam after Paris 1919 but otherwise so good. RYM: N Saved a song: Y

As someone who has always claimed to not like Queen but really only heard the singles, this was a validating experience. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Did more for me than I had expected after reading the reviews. Energetic. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Great background jazz. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Fine enough but with this albums acclaim I was expecting more. Top ranked review on this site is harsh but fair. RYM: Y (#637) Saved a song: N

Great little album. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Really surprised I like this as much as I did, user added albums are normally a recipe for disaster. RYM: N Saved a song: N

I was super on board with this for the first couple of songs, then it lost me. Then, when I thought it had won me back, it was Parquet Courts playing on Spotify radio. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Enjoyable but not my thing. RYM: N Saved a song: N

One of the more instantly forgetable albums on this list. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Great stuff, particularly the first two tracks. Trails off a bit from there but still super worthwhile. RYM: N Saved a song: N

C'mon now. RYM: Y (#153) Saved a song: N

Really high quality and unique. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Appreciated it far more than I expected, bonus point for the Shrek connection. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Don’t think I care about Metallica. RYM: N Saved a song: N
