1001 Albums Summary

Some good singles off the album, some of the other songs were more fillers

He's not a bad songwriter and plays guitar well but he can't sing. Every song was dirgy! The last one Joan of Arc was bearable but I'm not sure if that's because I'd made through the album!

Not as strong as their slightly later album Doolittle. But interesting as you can see their development between the 2

I've not listened to much of this music but I quite enjoyed the first CD. It was good background to work to. The 2nd CD was a but more of a struggle

Really enjoyed the album. Good songs, well crafted. The guitar in This is Love really reminded me of Captain Beefheart!

From the first iconic note to the end, practically every track is a well known favourite! I think its the first one where every song is an original Lennon/McCartney song. Really enjoyable to listen to

Some tracks were pretty good, she has got an amazing voice. It felt quite seasonal to be listening to it in December. Other tracks were a bit too avant garde for me. But I'm tempted to give it another listen - could be an album that grows on you! But for now...2 stars

Not what I usually listen to but I didn't mind it. Lyrically ok and any album that has Michael Kiwanuka on it can't be all bad!

Some well polished tracks, good vocals and mixture of genres. Possibly a bit too long!

Jazz isn't my thing but a couple of the tracks were easy listening. Hes definitely talented. Ideal music to listen to in a smoky jazz club at 3am!

2 stars because there are some good samples on there!

Nothing different to any other band like this around at the time. Not sure why it's in the list!

A few well known tracks on this album, but quite a few I didn't know. Can understand how some of them didn't make the Best Of albums! But good all round production, and what else can you say about the vocalist and musicians!!

Not that much of an Oasis fan but still a good album with some cracking songs

Who can't like an album that has 'out of sight' in its lyrics! I like The Kinks and there are some good songs on it, but there must be stronger albums than this that could go on the list?

Fun album to listen to while you work

Some good tracks. Some self-indulgent ones. A bit too long, but better than some albums here!

It's a shame as I was really looking forward to listening to this. It's not bad, but didn't quite live up to my expectations. You can tell what singles came from it

Typically Bowie, some good tracks, others not so. Mick Ronsons guitar is great though. The album generator missed a trick putting this up on 7th January, it should have been the 8th or the 10th.

Okay, not the best vocalist but such a good album. I'd forgotten how much Climbing Up These Walls reminded me of the Comsat Angels

Would have been 5 stars but Run For Your Life is...problematic!

I should like Coldplay more than I do. Musically they're pretty strong but vocally Chris Martin can sing at a pitch bordering on something only dogs can hear

I quite liked it. A bit too long - had it been 35 minutes it may have got 4 stars!

Don't mind a bit of punk sometimes. Never heard of these...think I know why

Not really aware of Missy Elliotts work but I really enjoyed the album

Some good songs but can be a bit slow

The albums that have come up this week have been challenging. I'm feeling a bit jaded! Too many songs on this record, only 1 or 2 of them any good. Self indulgent, 3 sides too many. 1 star

Personally not their best one, but still good

A mix of styles but surprisingly I really enjoyed it!

I am surprised this is in the top 1000 albums, am I missing something? Sounded like American 1970's glam rock

He's got a good voice but the songs just weren't right for him.

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would!

Not for me.

No!

Some pretty good songs on this. Enjoyable!

Still not a Coldplay convert! A couple of good songs. Point for each

Shes got a lovely voice. Really enjoyed the album

I like a couple of Captain Beefheart songs but not this album

Fair

A few more listens and this could be a 4 star!

Madcap definitely. Can tell he was a founding member of Pink Floyd

Quite easy listening, she's got a good voice

I feel bad giving it 1 star but it was just way too long and it really got on my nerves. Had it been a bit shorter I might have given it 2!

A pretty good album. I enjoyed hearing it again

Solid stuff

Trippy fun!

I've not heard much of her music, but she had a fantastic voice. A really good strong album

I'm becoming quite a Bjork fan! A pretty good album

Not their best one but still a good album

Dodgy lyrics, dodgy album. 1 star for Jump!

Love this album, so good to hear it again.

I prefer Back to black but 3 stars for her vocals and emotionally raw songs

Listened to Exodus a lot years ago but really enjoyed this album.

Some really good songs on it. Pity you can't give half marks, so I've upped it to 4

Fair. Some songs a bit too long, but okay to work to

Good to listen to again

Quite an enjoyable listen, some good songs in it

Not that familiar with this album but thought it was really good

I enjoyed this album, a few of her classics are on it

Not really my type of music but if it was it would be quite a cracking album! Reminded me a bit of Rush. 3 for the bands talent

Bit dodgy in parts, a couple of ok tracks

Third?? Wouldn't even put this last!

Pretty good, a few good songs on it.

I wasn't that aware of the full album but I really enjoyed most of the tracks, apart from a couple of experimental ones. Pleasantly surprised.

Fair album

Some good tracks, some not so much

Lyrically slightly darker than the earlier ABBA but they can write some tunes! And the vocals blend together perfectly

Really good to hear this again. Possibly 3 and a half stars but I'm feeling generous!

Brilliant album, more like a greatest hits - apart from a couple of experimental tracks at the end.

Some good songs, a bit samey in parts

I'm not that familiar with the groups work but parts of the album were quite a good.

Some good tracks, others a bit too long

I do like the Kinks but I don't think this is one of their best.

Still a good album

Quite an enjoyable album, but the last 16 minute drum track was completely unnecessary!

Challenging, thought provoking, political. Quite an album. Disturbing cover of political unrest underpinning it all. Has to be 5*

Pretty fair album

If you're a fan of the Hammond organ this is the album for you

Some really good tracks, others not so great. Can't quite give it 5*

I wish I could have given this more but it is just good, sadly not brilliant.

Loved this album for years

Not a bad album, some fair songs on it

To release a live album it needs to be exceptional - this isn't

Everybody had a copy of this album when I was young, because it's so good!

Quite a 1970's vibe. Not that it's a bad thing!

I can see how she's trying to vary her style and experiment so I've given the album an extra star for that. She's got an amazing voice but sometimes it would be nice if she sang something softer rather than belting it out! I had to listen in 3 parts as the album was so long and a bit full on at times

Some of this album was really good, but again very long. I think a few tracks could be left off, but if you're a true Pixies fan you'll probably love all of it

A pretty good album, some good songs on it

Some good songs on it, feel its around 2 1/2 stars so I'll round it up

Quite mix of songs and styles ranging from good downwards. The singles were pretty good mind.

Couldn't get on with this album when I first heard it around 2009/2010 but love it now.

I struggled with this. If you say in a song you're not a misogynist does it then make it okay to spend the rest of the album calling women whores, harlots, bitches, and a whole lot more? Am I missing something?

Easy listening, quite good background music to work to.

Not really my thing but she's got a lovely voice and it's really easy to work to

Not my favourite JD album but I can't give it anything else

Not quite sure how to rate this. Some of it I liked. Feel it's a 2 and half but I'll be generous and give it 3 as he's got a good voice

Bjork is very experimental but I just couldn't get on with this album.

Love this album. Less is definitely more here!

Really good album, some cracking songs on it

I'm not that big a Bob Dylan fan but I quite enjoyed this album. Quite a few classics on it!

Not a bad album, I quite like some Byrds tracks.

Really good album. All killer, no filler

It's not a bad album, some good tracks

I quite enjoyed this album, pleasantly surprised!

Don't mind a bit of Blues, a good album

Quite a nostalgic album for me

Love this album, such a lovely voice and well crafted songs

Still like this album, can appreciate how good it is, but only 3 stars

A great voice and one of the most classic covers of all time!

Really good album and cracking cover

Didn't totally hate it

I didn't mind most of this

Probably good, just not my thing

It wasn't bad, I quite enjoyed it

Bit disappointed with this one as I like a lot of the Kinks

I love her voice, even if she does sound like Marge Simpson

Not really my thing and way too long

Very chirpy

A slightly captive audience but still brilliant

Some tracks were good but others I found such a slog to get through

Pretty good album

Not a bad album

Really not one of his best

Not really my thing, but as background music to work to - pretty harmless

So good to hear it again

Not as good as tinned prunes! An okay album. Not sure why it's on the list though

Still a brilliant album!

Intense, bleak, not always an easy listen. More sound art than music in some places so can see why it's on the list. Has to be 4 stars just for those reasons

Quite pleasant and gentle
