1001 Albums Summary

Great pop music. Helped by the fact that I knew all of the singles. 3.5/10

I’ve never listened to this through before, but very familiar with many of the songs. Great singles, feels bloated on first listen, however I imagine it will massively grow on me

Great album , loved it when I was younger. Lilac wine is a banger. Very French feeling

Brilliant record, my favourite so far. Once again I’ve heard most of these songs but not in this order, I wasn’t aware of how stacked with hits this is.

Good album, will likely grow on me, but didn’t massively click on first listen though I can tell it’s a classic.

One of my favourite albums, yet some how my least favourite Nick drake album. Unbelievably good singer songwriter.

My favourite Nick Drake record, a masterpiece.

Brilliant. Hadn’t listened to this in at least 15 years, fantastic record

Very beautiful strings. I have always loved staralfur (life aquatic soundtrack), very reminiscent of Talk Talk at times. Good album

One of my favourite albums ever

Great record, some top singles

Will have to come back to at some point. I loved the baroch aspects and will probably enjoy the album more as it grows on me. I love Cohen’s barritone

Love this. Listened to my vinyl copy, but the band seems to be wearing out, strange to hear this much slowet

Amazing, Berlin trilogy are my favourite Bowie records

Brilliant album, haven’t listened to in years. Having previously been considered one of their weaker records I think it’s rightfully being reappraised as a masterpiece

Alright, though not one of their better records on first listen

Great album, second to meat is murder only as far as I’m concerned

I love this album. Need to listen to more riot girl (sp?), though I reckon this is the pinnacle of the genre.

A great album. Good memories of seeing them before it came out, one of the better post punk revival bands.

Amazing. Also melody is from Sunderland which is a great fact. One of my favourite albums

Really good. I’ve only ever heard the singles from this album, will need to listen to the soft bulletin next.

Amazing album, I can imagine it was a revelation at the time, unlike anything before it. Overlooked in the shadow of loveless and mbv but such a brilliant debut.

Really good album. I was only familiar with the title track before hand but really enjoyed it, stand out track was Sarah. Very dense record, will need multiple listens

Brilliant. Need to expand my knowledge of west African pop. I love Fela and Songhuy Blues but there must be so much more out there. Interesting vocals, almost like the call to prayer or something, sets it apart from Nigerian music

Never going to be as good as the smiths, but a good record nonetheless the less

Really lovely harmonies, great version of heard it through the grapevine
