Popular Reviews

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

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.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin

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

C'est Chic by CHIC
Nov 17 2025

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

Thriller by Michael Jackson

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

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Dec 15 2025

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

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Dec 16 2025

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?

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

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Dec 22 2025

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 👌

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Dec 23 2025

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

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Dec 24 2025

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

Diamond Life by Sade
Dec 27 2025

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

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Dec 28 2025

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👏

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Dec 29 2025

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.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Dec 30 2025

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……

Dec 31 2025

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👏👏

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Jan 01 2026

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

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jan 02 2026

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

Jan 03 2026

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

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jan 04 2026

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

Protection by Massive Attack
Jan 05 2026

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

Jan 06 2026

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…..

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 07 2026

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

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jan 08 2026

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😂

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jan 10 2026

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

Sulk by The Associates
Jan 11 2026

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

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Jan 12 2026

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

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 13 2026

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

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 14 2026

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…..

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jan 15 2026

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

The White Album by Beatles
Jan 16 2026

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

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 17 2026

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

Jan 18 2026

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

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 19 2026

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🦐

Jan 20 2026

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.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jan 21 2026

What an excellent album, love it

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jan 22 2026

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

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jan 24 2026

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

Da Capo by Love
Jan 25 2026

This album didn’t do it for me.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jan 26 2026

Not my cup of tea at all…..

The Specials by The Specials
Jan 27 2026

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🙏🏼

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jan 28 2026

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

No Other by Gene Clark
Jan 29 2026

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

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jan 30 2026

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

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 31 2026

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

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Feb 01 2026

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”

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 02 2026

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

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Feb 03 2026

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

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Feb 04 2026

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.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Feb 06 2026

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

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Feb 09 2026

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

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 10 2026

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🤭

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Feb 11 2026

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

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Feb 12 2026

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

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Feb 13 2026

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

Feb 14 2026

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🙌

Feb 15 2026

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.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Feb 16 2026

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

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Feb 17 2026

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

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Feb 18 2026

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”

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 19 2026

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

Yeezus by Kanye West
Feb 20 2026

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?

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Feb 21 2026

It was ok - but only as background music

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Feb 24 2026

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

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Feb 25 2026

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

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Feb 26 2026

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….

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Feb 27 2026

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

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Feb 28 2026

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!!

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Mar 01 2026

Interesting album this one, theatrical or what?

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Mar 02 2026

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

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 04 2026

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

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Mar 05 2026

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

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Mar 06 2026

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

Scum by Napalm Death
Mar 08 2026

😂 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

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Mar 09 2026

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

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 10 2026

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

Sea Change by Beck
Mar 11 2026

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

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Mar 13 2026

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.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Mar 14 2026

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🙌

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Mar 15 2026

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

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Mar 16 2026

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.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Mar 17 2026

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

Different Class by Pulp
Mar 18 2026

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.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Mar 19 2026

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

Mar 20 2026

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🙏🏼🫶🏽

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Mar 21 2026

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

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Mar 22 2026

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

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Mar 23 2026

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

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 24 2026

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🙏🏼

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Mar 25 2026

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”🙌🤩

Mar 26 2026

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.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Mar 27 2026

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

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Mar 28 2026

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

Face to Face by The Kinks
Mar 29 2026

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?

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Mar 30 2026

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

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Apr 01 2026

What an absolute pile of 💩 hate it.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Apr 02 2026

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

American Gothic by David Ackles
Apr 03 2026

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

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Apr 04 2026

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

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Apr 05 2026

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🤩

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Apr 06 2026

No, I don’t like this crap at all -1😂

2112 by Rush
Apr 07 2026

Not my cup of ☕️ tea

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Apr 08 2026

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

Imagine by John Lennon
Apr 09 2026

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

Apr 10 2026

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.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Apr 11 2026

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.

Eagles by Eagles
Apr 12 2026

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

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Apr 13 2026

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

Document by R.E.M.
Apr 14 2026

Not my favourite REM album, couple of decent tunes

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Apr 19 2026

Didn’t really like

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 20 2026

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

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Apr 21 2026

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

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Apr 23 2026

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

Apr 24 2026

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

Blur by Blur
Apr 25 2026

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

Apr 26 2026

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, 🙌

Elephant by The White Stripes
Apr 28 2026

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😎

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Apr 29 2026

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

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Apr 30 2026

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.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 01 2026

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

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 02 2026

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

Microshift by Hookworms
May 04 2026

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

In Rainbows by Radiohead
May 05 2026

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

Horses by Patti Smith
May 06 2026

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

Close To You by Carpenters
May 07 2026

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

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
May 08 2026

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

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
May 09 2026

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

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
May 11 2026

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!

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
May 12 2026

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

May 13 2026

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

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
May 14 2026

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.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
May 15 2026

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….

Parallel Lines by Blondie
May 16 2026

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

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
May 17 2026

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

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
May 18 2026

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

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
May 19 2026

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🙌

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
May 20 2026

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

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
May 21 2026

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

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
May 22 2026

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

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
May 23 2026

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

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
May 24 2026

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

The Band by The Band
May 25 2026

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

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
May 26 2026

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

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
May 27 2026

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

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
May 29 2026

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 🍀

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
May 30 2026

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

May 31 2026

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

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Jun 01 2026

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

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jun 02 2026

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.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jun 03 2026

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

Pink Flag by Wire
Jun 05 2026

Fucking excellent album

Who's Next by The Who
Jun 06 2026

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

Risque by CHIC
Jun 07 2026

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

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jun 08 2026

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

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jun 09 2026

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

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jun 10 2026

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

American Pie by Don McLean
Jun 11 2026

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

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jun 12 2026

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

Jun 13 2026

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

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Jun 14 2026

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

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jun 16 2026

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

#1 Record by Big Star
Jun 17 2026

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

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jun 18 2026

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

The Visitors by ABBA
Jun 19 2026

Not up to their v high standard

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 20 2026

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

Dookie by Green Day
Jun 21 2026

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

Jun 22 2026

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

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 23 2026

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

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Jun 24 2026

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

D by White Denim
Jun 25 2026

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

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jun 26 2026

Not really my style, so

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 27 2026

Nice little album, good guitars and Marks voice is cool

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jun 28 2026

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

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jun 29 2026

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!

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jun 30 2026

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

Future Days by Can
Jul 01 2026

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

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jul 02 2026

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.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Jul 03 2026

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

Moon Safari by Air
Jul 04 2026

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

Leftism by Leftfield
Jul 05 2026

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jul 08 2026

Bit too Fluffy for me

Jul 09 2026

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

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jul 10 2026

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.

21 by Adele
Jul 11 2026
Jul 12 2026

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

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Jul 13 2026

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.

25 by Adele
Jul 14 2026

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

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jul 15 2026

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

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Jul 16 2026

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

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jul 17 2026

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

So by Peter Gabriel
Jul 18 2026

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

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jul 19 2026

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

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jul 20 2026

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

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 21 2026

Really? I don’t get it?

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jul 22 2026

Very gentle album, love Lou Reeds vocal on this one- Pale blue eyes, thought of you as my mountain top……..beautiful

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jul 23 2026

Beautiful album that I discovered late, probably only a few years ago which is amazing though I’d heard, River, California- but I read about Joni and “Carey” after visiting Crete

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Jul 24 2026

Really lovely album, I do like most of what Solange does, and this doesn’t disappoint

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jul 29 2026

This is a wonderful album, we bought this album when it 1st came out, and honestly can still play now and enjoy ☺️

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 31 2026

I thought I’d really like this album, however I felt it was a little slow, and meticulous- I have a few NC albums, and his lyrics are excellent

Aug 01 2026

A good album, a few really good songs, but why so many REM albums on the list? There’s so many that won’t make the 1001 I’m thinking

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Aug 02 2026

I do like this album, it’s raw, it’s fun, early punk at its best

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Aug 03 2026

Good background music whilst I was busy doing household chores, sounds like a great orchestra- would’ve been good to catch “live” in 1958

B-52's by The B-52's
Aug 04 2026

Really loved this album, bought on vinyl when it came out, lost it, and bought it again - a few years ago. Favourite track ; Planet Claire

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Aug 05 2026

Absolutely loved this album, I thought it might be good, as I love the title track, but loved the different styles, and samples throughout, bordering here on 4.5/5, probably need to give it a few more listens tbh

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Aug 06 2026

I hate Metallica, though some people love them, hahaha

Aug 07 2026

I did think I’d enjoy this album, but it deteriorated the more I listened, so just a 2

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Aug 08 2026

Not my thing at all, listened to some trax, but tough going

Purple Rain by Prince
Aug 09 2026

I do like a lot of Prince, but I really don’t like this album, apart from “ when doves cry”

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Aug 10 2026

Well, this was sensational when it was released, I remember watching the “Tube” - it was so fresh and new, but now so dated😂

Doolittle by Pixies
Aug 11 2026

I have this, but not played for ages, saw them live in 1980s with Kim Deal, awesome, Monkey gone to heaven stand out track
