1001 Albums Summary

Fun, catchy country album.

Probably great, but Bob's voice is grating and the songs aren't particularly exciting. It's definitely catchy and well-played, but I'll probably save listening to this album again for my retirement.

I was prepared for overly self aware weirdness but there are legitimately great tunes in here. I really like it. For a 70 minute double album it really doesn't feel like it overstays its welcome.

Ubiquitous megahit title track aside, this is a great collection of catchy blues influenced rock songs. I really enjoyed this!

Bit shit, innit? I found this album annoying as fuck.

I would probably have loved this if I'd heard it in 2000.

It’s definitely well-written and (relatively) well-played, but a lot of it is boring as fuck and goes on for so long. Some of the filler tracks (Shaker Maker, Columbia) are nearly six minutes long. I fucking hate Oasis.

Hip-hop is not my favourite genre but when it is done well it is undeniable. This is one such instance. A classic.

I remember how big this album was when it came out. Copycats popped up overnight but never really bothered to listen to it. ‘Last Nite’ is a tune but the rest of it is bland as fuck. As I was listening to it I kept asking myself; ‘Is this it?’

It’s a good listen but not really sure it needs to be on this list. It’s basically slightly demented blues rock featuring Captain Beefheart’s enjoyable Howlin’ Wolf style vocals.

I always avoided Brian Eno because I thought he was pretentious rubbish for 6Music dads. I was either completely wrong or I’ve become a 6Music dad. Either way, this is just fun slightly weird pop music. Will check out more of his discography. I still hate Roxy Music.

She has a great voice and some good varied songs.

‘People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can’t trust people.’ It’s incredible how ubiquitous this album is. I’ve never listened to it before and I knew most of the songs, which is incredible when they are as bland and insipid as this.

I learned to play bass along to this album 20+ years ago. The first and the best.

Ehh, it’s okay. Not really my thing. Not sure why it’s on this list.
