1001 Albums Summary

Bit old skool, but still like the singles 5/10

Bit dated, didn’t enjoy 2/10

Decent album, a couple of crackers 5/10

Ummmm, not my favourite- I have liked lots of their back catalogue over the years, but this album is….

Decent, liked the band years ago - not due on this one niw, sounds dated.

Quite enjoyed it, Soulfull - great voice

Very different to what I expected, but in a good way, not your mainstream rapper, good listen, but not something I’d buy. 4/10

I remember this album from my teenage years, great dance tunes on here, but a few fillers

I ve never listened to this album before, must be one of the few? Full of hits from MJ - I remember Billie Jean in 1982, and the excellent video to Thriller

Was ok ( I think)

Was ok, but not something I would listen to now

It was ok, could listen to it again, as I quite liked the track “Friends” - I’d never heard of him tbh.

Really enjoyed this one, though not surprised as I have other albums by the band in my collection - what a great band they were, heard new tracks which is always good

Heroes is an excellent single, one of Bowies best, the rest of the album is decent - German albums round the corner

I really enjoyed this album- jazz/hip hop, reminds me of a hip hop Gil Scott Heron, not heard this before, Public enemy are similar, but I will download this album, really enjoyed it.

I did enjoy listening to this one, reminds me of my love of the single “The Cutter”, never really got into Echo & B when I was in my early 20s

Really didn’t like this one at, organs, and long tracks, prog rock is not my thing

I do like a Couple of songs on here, but he’s not really my kinda muzik- did listen though

Love S&G, great tracks on here, America, and Mrs R, great singalong tunes

One of the greatest albums - ever 10/10 This will stand the judge of time for ever

Interesting, never listened to any SD, but liked “Peg”, quite a funky album

Not my thing, never been sure about Henry Rollins, that was a hard listen tbh

Haven’t played this one for a while, but have in my collection, great tracks, when Shaun was sounding excellent

Great voice, the songs went on a bit too long though

Not my thing at all

Excellent album, a real music changer back in the day, awesome - Firestarter

Liked this album, a few songs I’d heard, beautiful harmonies- and new songs discovered 🎁

Ok album, not as good as other albums

Not what I can listen too, unless I was “Tripping”😂

Seriously loved this album, have downloaded it!

Liked this album, NWA - links me into other artists

Surprised at this one, I really quite liked it -

I should like it more, but would need another listen

Excellent album, not listened to it for a wee while

Classic album, with some excellent songs, I have this in my collection

Great album from 1995, Jazzy B -“ there’s 3 from the North side, and 2 from the East” - Tunes🎶

If I listened to it a few times I might like this one, but not feeling it

Superb album, I bought this when it came oout, and over the years grew on me, amazing that “Fools gold” is not on the album, finally Mani RIP.

Can’t believe this in one of the 1001?

Just noise?

No, not for me

Remember this one well, aggressiveness and power, MF wording, F The 👮‍♀️- good to hear it again.

Some decent tracks on here, I do like early Dylan, never seen him live though

An excellent album, enjoyed listening to this whilst wrapping up Christmas 🎄 presents, particular favourite of mine “ The Highways of my Life” Summer Breeze also excellent 👌

With all these Jazz standards on the album, I’m afraid Willie Nelson is no match to the Jazz greats who went before….

Didn’t like this noise at all, far too heavy for me.

I liked some tracks on this one, very dated, though I do enjoy The Kinks stuff, psychedelic and very 60s

Excellent album, full of favourites 🎄 Phil Spectors best moments - love it/ have it

Really excellent album that I have on vinyl, Sade hit me in 1984, and I saw her “live” on this tour in London, what a voice- soul, Jazz rhythms Beautiful

This was a surprise package, I’d heard of the name, but not listened to anything by Coldcut, but it was a good liste, so listened a 2nd time👏

This is an album I should really have had some years ago, after hearing her on the velvet underground record, but I never did, so played it out yesterday, a couple of decent tunes here, but I won’t be buying it.

I knew this band would come around, I’ve not listened to much LZ I must admit for someone in their 60s, I have one track from this album on a playlist “Going to California” which I heard some years ago, and honestly I don’t like this album……

Truly excellent album, and timeless, I remember playing songs from this album to my kids driving down to Argeles in France , in the 2000s they were very young, and they still love them, and have seen them “live”, I have tickets for their shows this year, when they will play this album in full, I’m going with my kids, who are now in their 20s👏👏

I thought I might enjoy this, however I didn’t…….

I love Lemmys vocals- they were a crossover band for me, as I was into Punk in the 70s, Ace of spades is a great track, particularly “live” - I listened to this album on the way to Football yesterday, it’s good and not too heavy

I’d never heard of this band, liked the 1st track, “ Time to pretend” - I’ve heard this before, probably on Radio6 - plus “kids” Not much else happening here for me

I only liked one song on this album; East St Louie Toodle-oo- other than that just standard songs.

This is truly an excellent album, had it since it came out, playing it again and singing along ; Tracy Thorn, Horace Andy, Tricky, this version of “Light my fire” is magical right at the end - beautiful

I know everyone raves about this album, and when I was at school everyone in my class was talking about it, but I never got into PF, so yesterday was the 1st time I’d ever listened to the whole album- and, we’ll I quite liked a couple of songs, that was it…..

This album grew on me as I went further into the album, i like it! The only song I knew of Fiona’s was her singing with Johnny Cash on “Father and son” many years ago

On my first listen to this band, my initial thoughts were, we done this in 1977, but as I voyaged further into the album, I quite liked the Rock n roll style, “on a rope” I put up on UT, lead singer reminds me a bit of Joe Strummer…….looking that is😂

The longer this went on, the better I liked - though doesn’t come near his later stuff

Very good listening t to this again last night, not played it for years, so good, Thom Yorke’s vocal so cool…

Didn’t like this at all, I remember Party fears coming out, and didn’t like that……🤣

Not my thing at all, I couldn’t listen to it all, bored me

What a beautiful voice Curtis has, hard to not like this one, I must watch the movie now🤣 Mr Soulful

1976….. and I hated ABBA- always No1, in the charts, I hated them. Nowadays I quite like them, and sing along to a lot of their songs - how times change…..

Too middle of the road for me, a couple of decent tunes

And then this one comes along, I bought this when I finally got into the Beatles, loved playing this yesterday in the car and singing along to “Rocky Racoon, guitar weeps, USSR, obladee, blackbird etc…….great memories

Bought this when it came out, and remember the songs well, but sounds a bit dated now….

I gave this 2 spins, but it sounded a lot like the 1980s Guitar bands, a couple of songs were ok, but nothing special for me

I’ve heard a more funky version of “Watermelon man” by HH, this is very much a Jazz album with Funk/fusion - long tracks, perfect to listen to in the car on my way home from the beach🦐

A friend of my fathers had this album in 1973, I was still at school, some excellent songs on here, “Bennie and the Jets” reminds me so much of that year, I bought candle in the wind on 7”, BATJ on the B side.

What an excellent album, love it

Wow! Some raw Punk - 14 songs in 15 mins - Fabulous- loved it

Don’t really understand why this is in the 1001 albums??

Wow, not heard this for a long time, singing along to every song - always loved Jim 🙏🏼

This album didn’t do it for me.

Not my cup of tea at all…..

What a fantastic album, brought mainstream SKA, and Reggae into the house, some classic tunes on here, that I still play today - lucky enough to see The Specials “live” Terry Hall on vocals RIP🙏🏼

I do like a lot of George Clinton’s music, but not particularly this one

I read up about Gene, Byrds etc. Album was good without any stand out track though

So cool, Mr Cohen - great lyricist - really liked the album - must listen again soon

Great album to hear again, all the old covers, plus a few originals- Beatles at their finest

Great to hear this excellent album on way to the football yesterday, so many good memories- hip hop at its very best. “Three that’s the magic number”

Love this album, so much I bought it again recently 🤩

God….this was awful, though I know some people love it🤣

Well, I didn’t expect to enjoy this……but I did, I even put 2 trax on a playlist- never heard of the duo before, good stuff.

I can’t stand them….

I thought I was going to enjoy this 10cc outing, as I do like their early stuff, but it was disappointing….

Superb, lovely to hear Aretha with her charm and beautiful harmonies - great album, some real bangers on here

Just pure class on this one, every song an absolute classic

I got into it on this mornings walk, but didn’t really hit any “highs”

Not enough Reggae I’m thinking in the 1001, Marley is obvious, but what else? This has the album version of “ stir it up” absolute banger, Peter Tosh🙌 - I have this album with Marley and the spliff, plus the T-Shirt🤭

Beautiful album, my Father bought this on its release, so was playing it whilst I grew up, the classic “Take 5”

This is an excellent album, bought it many years ago, so good to sing along again

I bloody loved this album, I’d heard of Lucinda but not played anything by her - Amazing!

In the week that we lost Andrew Rankin, drummer with The Pogues 🙏🏼, it was fitting to hear “Worms” again, I first saw The Pogues live in 1984, lucky to live in “Archway”, so they were a local band - saw them many times in London, one of my favourite bands ever, “Fairy tale of NY” - what a song, RIP Shane, and Kirsty🙌

I reckon I could’ve got into Husker do back in the day, and I’m sure John Peel would’ve played them, but alas I don’t have anything by them in my collection, this album is listenable- if a little dated.

It was ok, quite catchy lyrics, with his distinctive voice,but not really for me.

It was ok, obviously love Father and son, absolute banger, but the rest didn’t excite me

Hahaha, this one made me laugh, mixed up instruments, Cave on full throttle, I watched him on UT whilst listening to this one, reminded me of Lux Interior, and Iggy Pop, favourite track “Dead Joe”

Too middle of the road for me, really enjoyed his early stuff, and saw him live in 1979….

Umm, I’m not sure if I like him or not, i listened in the car - the only song I really liked was Bound2, if I listened again, maybe I might like this more?

It was ok - but only as background music

Not for me

Good to hear Mingus again, so vibrant, good to listen to whilst walking the dog.

I have this album, I do like early Dylan before he went mainstream, good to listen again to Tombstone blues.

Not for me, only a couple of songs that I thought were ok - but too heavy for my 👅 taste

I struggle to listen to Orbital tbh, if I was in a club then ok, but not at my age, it’s not going to happen….

A funky little album here, packs a punch - enjoyed it

Well, I’ve never been an Elvis fan ( though my sister loves him😂), but I did really like this album, I played it on a roll twice!!

Interesting album this one, theatrical or what?

I thought I might like this album, as I looked it up before I listened- but was disappointed

When RC came up, I thought excellent- I’ll enjoy this one, but I didn’t except a couple of tunes…..

I saw PIL live this year in Jan 2026, the backing band to Lydon pumping out the Bass, I did have this album in its metal box for several years, so many great tracks on here, listened whilst on my drive to watch the football at Portman Road - Albatross, Suit, swan lake, graveyard - Tunes from 1979

I do really like Peter Tosh, and legalise it is a classic track, but the rest of the album was just ok, and I love my reggae

Well, I liked this album, I read all about him beforehand as I didn’t know the name, I really like the story - country song best

Another great chunk of hardcore hip- hop, love it

😂 what a funny album, I couldn’t understand anything he was saying, the music was decent, but 😱 I’m not sure you could call this a “fun” album

Love this thumping album, not heard for ages, very enjoyable 🙌

Excellent album, the fab 4 in amazing form on here, with some real bangers to sing along to, an easy 5 star here.

Didn’t do much for me, and was expecting much more I like his early stuff - this was a bit nothing?

Not my cup of tea at all,

Well I’ve not listened to much JZ, but I have to say I liked this outing, played in the car coming back from the beach with Fred.

Fantastic- classic Johnny Cash “ San Quentin you’ve been living hell to me” what a great little album, with JC and June at the top of their game🙌

This was pretty good, I should like it more really, being indie, British, and post punk//

I liked this album, you can hear John Cales welsh accent coming through, I did see him a few years ago - but obviously found him with the Velvets.

What a voice, Funky, and Soul, love this album, some real bangers on here, my favourite SW album, this man is sheer class🎶

Surely one of the greatest British albums and bands of all time - Jarvis Cocker take a bow sir, pure class on different class. Some of the best lyrics on songs ever, great stories.

Gosh, not heard this for maybe 40 years, brought back some memories of seeing Tubeway army in the late 1970s, decent album

This album is so cool, with the absolute classic “Nothing compares 2U”, also haven’t heard “I am stretched out on your grave” for a long time, SInead RIP🙏🏼🫶🏽

What an excellent album this is, some stuff on here I’d never heard before, but great listening whilst walking on the Beach.

So dated this album, struggled to listen to it all, like the same song, over and over

Love the 2 big classics on here- brought back memories of these years from my youth, they sort of passed me by

Sensational album, I’d never heard anything by ES, this album blew me away - fucking brilliant RIP young man, you had so much to offer🙏🏼

I read some of the reviews before I listened to this classic, you can really separate the non British reviews, the treasure that is Ian Dury was an absolute class act and I bought this on vinyl the week it came out, sadly that vinyl has gone, but I did replace on CD years ago, absolute classic pub cockney rhyming- My old man - class writing or “Good evening I’m from Essex in case you couldn’t tell, my given name is Dickie etc”🙌🤩

This is my 3rd favourite Beatles album, there’s much of it I love, some though I really don’t, but. Great album never the less.

I remember when she hit the scene, she was so cool, and the songs were great, man child, buffalo, 7 seconds, inner city, I did actually see her at a festival a few years ago, still looking cool, I do really like this album

Bit of a surprise, I liked this album, not heard any Frank Ocean before, but a nice soul voice, and some great lyrics

I’ve now listened to a lot of kinks albums on this platform, they’re all decent, but I wonder now which albums will appear on the 1001?

What a surprise! Loved this album and all the story telling, played it twice back to back🙂

It’s average, with a classic banger of a song on it.

What an absolute pile of 💩 hate it.

Love this album, played it whilst cooking tonight, my daughter loved the vibe too, talented musicians- made us dance around the kitchen.

I read up about “Ackles” before listening to the album, so it promised something new, however a bit too theatrical for me.

I really got into this album, 3rd LZ album this week, I even downloaded it, saw Huey MorgAn last night - he lives LZ, that’s good enough for me

I love this album, I’ve had it for years, my Father had an album of Astrid Gilberto, so as a family we grew up on this kind of Jazz samba - beautiful album🤩

No, I don’t like this crap at all -1😂

Not my cup of ☕️ tea

I love this album, particularly “Wildwood” beautiful melody and words, the rest of the album is fairly good too, Weller on good form

Good album, with the classic “Imagine”, some other good tunes, with a couple of duds, John taken so young, wtf…🙏🏼

I really didn’t like this at all, barring BR which is pretty classic, I don’t have any Queen on any playlist, or own anything by them, and this is not great.

This was the 2nd time I’ve reviewed this album, I adored it 1st time around, but now I find it rather tame, and out of sorts bad s couple of songs.

Not really much for me on this one, I get Eagles are a big band, but not for me

I liked this album - some groovy guitars and songs, I like her voice, one track I remember charting.

Not my favourite REM album, couple of decent tunes

Excellent album -!love the grooves

Was ok in places

No thanks

Didn’t really like

I really like this album, I’d not listened to Kendrick before, I’ve downloaded several tracks that I need to listen to again.

Another excellent album from the queen of soul - 1968 - Wow - what a voice

Not for me

I’ve had this album a while, but don’t play it much, and listening yesterday, it’s decent and I know JC was superb, but ok

I thought I’d really like this, but alas not really, no outstanding track either

Good fun album, a lot of tracks I’d never heard, a good mixture on this album

This was a surprise, not sure about the 1st 2 tracks, but then, omg I loved it, I looked her up as I’d never heard of her, and watched some on UT, reminded me of Carole King, writing some really great songs - and songs sung with passion, 🙌

Not for me

This is a fucking great chunk of music, haven’t heard the whole album for a while, but what an absolute Banger - every track, I used to listen to this everyday for about a year😎

Happy little album, if you like that sort of thing, but not powerful enough for me tbh

Omg, I loved this album, Gillian Welch is a great find, downloaded quiet a few tubes from this album, loving the “bluegrass feel” and vocals.

Not a bad album, with 3 classic tracks, whatever happened to Candy Lauper?

I know of Billy Joel, but never listened to a whole album of his which I did on my morning walk yesterday- yes some classic tunes here, but a bit MOR for me, but ok

Not really my flavour of music….

A bit of a surprise here, I’d never heard of them, I enjoyed the album, and played it twice, then played some of their other tracks, great find this band, I’ll look them up

I liked the album, with Thom Yorkes harrowing vocals, some good tracks on here

I’d not heard this album before, something I should’ve listened to by now, as I’m totally aware of Patti, I’ve read a couple of her books…..this album very good in places, and yep, I enjoyed its force, and toughness

Lovely Karen Carpenter- what a waste…..such beautiful harmonies, great album, we could’ve enjoyed so much more

I thought this was a spin off from “ The Gabriel’s “ then looked up the album, so was surprised, very different feel to this one, powerful vocals, I liked it

This album is in my top 5 of all time, Beautiful concept album, with Marvin’s pure sweet soul voice, and powerful lyrics 🤩

What a fucking great album this is, can’t help but 🕺🏻 dance about

I felt quite “Spiritualized” after listening to this dreamy music album, so JAMC, I did really enjoy it, I’ve downloaded a few tracks too!

Another great voice, lovely album, very much enjoyed the cool tracks

Just awesome, probably the best album ever, makes me 😢 it’s so beautiful “Flamenco sketches” - Miles, John Coltrane together - what a magical combination - 🤝

Not sure what to make of this, couldn’t quite get into it, as I thought I might, never heard of the band of album, so it made an interesting listen, summertime blues - not the best, Eddie Cochran or T.Rex.

1991 was the year I got married, and “what you do to me” was a firm favourite- I didn’t buy this album, though I’m unsure why? I think I need to get it after listening to it yesterday, it resonates so much to me from that time, when we were both into all those “indie” bands like Teenage fan club, Dinosaur Jnr, lemon heads etc….

Classic album from 1978, I was into Blondie A bit, but not a massive fan, I’ve only recently bought their 1st album, but obviously this is a classic album, with so ,many great songs, difficult not to give it a maximum

A couple of decent tracks on here, I never got into Teardrop express, or Julian Cope, I found him a bit pretentious

This is the 2nd time I’ve heard this album now, and I loved it, some great guitar, bluesy and cool stuff, I can see why it’s included, I read about it afterwards- very decent

At last I enjoyed a Led album, listening to the 1001 albums has brought me into the “Blues rock” side of Zeppelin- read about John Bonnin yesterday, very sad at 32, then the band disbanding in respect🙌

Very Elliott, he had the most lovely voice, nice album

Those 4 songs from the 1st 5 tracks on here got me singing along, “I’m thinking of you” is such a great upbeat song, I remember the band from nightclub visits from years gone by

Not sure on this one, would probably need a Few more plays to get into it, prefer her earlier stuff

Loved this little beauty, had only ever heard “Green Onions” from this album - a thing of beauty

I don’t reLly get Springsteen, he always seems to be trying too hard, not much on here for me

I liked this album, and I guess if I’d been born in the 1950s I would resonate more with this band - the band🤣

Rays a cool singer, great voice - this album was decent without being outstanding

Bit of a surprise this one, wasn’t expecting much, but I got right into it, some excellent tracks on here, mad mix up though with the country sounding songs

Disappointing- I really like Talking heads, but this album is not at their highest standard

A nice surprise with this little beauty- wow, “Minawa” what an excellent track, reminds me of Miles Davis Kinda blue, I’ve downloaded the album, loved it -the sound is so pure 🍀

Not a great Elvis fan, and this didn’t do a lot for me, truth be told,

I’m not a big Coldplay fan, and this one was pretty dross, tunes are ok, but nothing here for me.

Raw talent on show here, it’s like that, and that’s the way it is

This is such an excellent album, John and June, and I love the Guard interventions, some real classic songs on here, what. Talent - love this man.

This was a hard listen, I know rh3 bee gees are highly talented- but not for me in any shape

Pretty decent effort - no stand out tracks /

Fucking excellent album

Never really been a fan of The Who/ Daltrey, only my generation, even then I prefer The Oasis generation, so….

Got into this little beauty / took me back to the dance floor of my youth, great band - played the album twice

I don’t like Bryan Ferry’s voice, so it’s a no from me

Cool album, crowd getting right into it - I completely missed the Allman brothers, but they play some great rock n roll

Super Duper, I love Cypress hill - before we all jumped around, and were insane in the brain……🤪🤪

Really enjoyed this album, never listened before - “Vincent” is such a class song, as of course - “American pie”

She doesn’t really tickle my taste on this one, great voice though

Great voice, soulful and full of flavour - enjoyed this “live” album - listening in Warsaw.

Another surprise- never heard of this band, absolutely loved the album - another full album download

No thanks

Well I liked this, I didn’t think I would like any of their stuff😂

Not really doing anything for me, a bit of promise early on, but forgettable

In my humble opinion the greatest 1st album by any band, amazing lyrics, vocal, and a tight band, Liams voice at its most powerful, I saw these live in 94 and 95, Brit pop - Wow. I’m feeling supersonic, give me me gin and tonic

Not up to their v high standard

This is the only Bruce Springsteen album that I like, love the stories and the way he tells them, pure, acoustic guitar- folky/ country vibe

Excellent album, love the fiery lyrics, an Easy 4 Star album

I used to have this al I’m many years ago, I had forgotten all about it…. Bloody excellent- great listen yesterday

Some really great songs on here, Neil Young top class as usual, with crazy horse 🙌

Little diamond this one, I really must get this album on cd or vinyl - I said that a few times before with their influences

Not heard anything by White Denim before, really enjoyed the album, crossing different genres, nice guitar work too.

Not really my style, so

Nice little album, good guitars and Marks voice is cool

Very good album this one, I remember it coming out, so cool

Well, what a fucking great album, I can now see where all those hip hop samples originate from, tried to find some live showings on UT, but nothing available except Apache, which isn’t my favourite!

I’d never heard this album right through, but I loved it - that lazy bluesy sound, I’m not always keen on Jaggers voice, but I agree, a fucking good album

Listened to this recently, really smart album with some decent tracks, bit of an unknown for me

Well an absolute classic, you can’t say much more than that, Richard Ashcroft is his classic prime, beautiful lyrics over most amazing music - this album is class.

Lots of love on here, parts of it were interesting and psychedelic- but a tough listen overall

2nd time I’ve listened to this album recently- listened to in the car yesterday, and I have to say what an excellent album, really loved it, with several stand out trax

I’ve not listened to this one for a while, absolutely love it

Not for me thanks

Decent outing from pink floyd, the wall is a great song, some other decent bits on here

Bit too Fluffy for me

Fantastic album, Alex Turners lyrics, and the backing band are excellent on every track on this album, we saw them live in 2013 with my 2 sons, amazing. Standout tracks; MARDY Bum, I bet you look good, A certain romance

Some cool trax on here, I saw Little Simz at a festival 3 years ago, that was excellent, LS was excellent- really great artist, sassy.

I do love “ Ace of spades” and “Motörhead” songs live, and I loved Lemmy - great frontman,

Loved this album, had on repeat, great samples coming in, and female vocal - only heard a handful of songs before, so a good listen here.

This ones tricky, when the kids were younger there was a lot of Adele in the house; 19, 21, 25, this now sounds. Bit dated, though the songs have meaning in them, and she’s very upset

Need more time to listen on this one, I do have some Ravi Shankar somewhere from the 1980s, after we visited India

Remember this one, I don’t really like it, prefer Gorrilaz, or Blur

Yeah, I liked this - good band, like most of their stuff, some good cool trax on here

I thought I wouldn’t like this album, and I was right, boring pop.

This is the only AF album that I can listen to, the others are so average

It’s ok, I like take me out, but not that keen
