1001 Albums Summary

Amazing voice. Loved the screaming parts while the saxophone is blaring out with Little Richard. So many songs you just want to twist and shout too. Fantastic album

Fantastic album. Great vibes As soon as sexy boy starts playing it makes you feel as the title says. Great for a walk or while trying to get to sleep

Billy Corgan’s vocals here made me shout OH! numerous times. With the exceptional guitar work and gut punching drums this is an almost perfect album. Just a bit to long for me at 2 hours

One of my favourite Hip hop albums. The way this is made just with sampling is mind blowing. Incredible

How can an album from 1990 still sound futuristic. Amazing synths all over this album. Every song is catchy with Enjoy the silence being my favourite

Very good album. Great 30 minutes of songs. Otis’ voice is fantastic and the big band playing with him complement him perfectly. Respect, My Girl and Wonderful world are all bangers. Satisfaction really surprised me. Excellent cover

Wasn’t a big fan of the faster paced songs. Bit to similar to The Beatles for me. LOVED the slower songs. Bridge over troubled water, The boxer and Song for the asking are just lovely

One of the best debut albums ever made. So raw and real. Using British language and phrases makes the lyrics very relatable. Perfect album, no skips and will always be a favourite

Really enjoyed this. Had only heard the song Heroes before giving the whole album a spin. Beauty and the Beast and The Secret Life of Arabia were also great songs. Really enjoyed the ambient section later on too, which isn’t normally my vibe.

Not a fan. The beats were ok at best but the lyrics never really hooked me. Very horny album

Not my favourite Beatles album by a long shot but there were some little songs on here. The title track starts the album in a perfect way with the first chord setting the vibe. Can’t buy me love is another classic. The harmonica playing on I Should Have Known Better was amazing. A great “new” find

Ive always been a fan of a few Wings songs like Live and Let Die and Band on the Run but never listened to any records until now. This has been my favourite of the year so far. Amazing vibes on this album. Jet is such a great classic rock song, the little guitar riff during Let me Roll it, the ditty piano melody on Nineteen hundred are all amazing and really good ear worms. Will definitely be in rotation for a while to come and looking forward to more Wings

Great electronic album. Little bit repetitive with simple lyrics but great production

Really fun album. The little skits in-between songs was a great touch too. Will definitely be back to this one. Even though it is 90 minutes long, the time just flew

Fairly standard Elvis Costello album. Love his voice and there are some catchy songs on this. Cant see myself going back for a full listen though

One of the best of all time. Every song is great, even the slower tracks have great guitar sounds and Ozzys singing is unique. No one else could do what Ozzy does. Love this album and is one of my favourites

WOW. I was not expecting that. I’ve always assumed Manic street preachers music was pop rock. But this album ROCKS. The guitars, drums and the vocals are all great. Very pleasantly surprised

Had a few banger I’m familiar with like Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman. But everything else on this album is also amazing. The Unforgiven and Wherever I May Roam were both highlights for me. Excited to listen to more Metallica

Amazing album. Previously listened to Depression Cherry and thought it was ok but nothing special. This album is something special

The opening “suite” was incredible. One of the best 20 minutes “songs” you can possibly listen too. Spacey parts, unbelievable guitar playing and great vocals too. The rest of the album don’t really carry on with the great start with more ballety songs. Could probably get to like the with more listens

Good in parts but not my favourite by Fiona. The bolt cutters is still number 1 for me

Of it’s time. Some good songs but I can’t see myself going back to this one

Not a big fan of the vocals. But the guitar sounds were something special. How they get the guitar to sound like it’s screaming is something else. Great punk record but need more listens

Wasn’t expecting much from this but was pleasantly surprised. The secondhand is better than the first but maybe more listens will change my mind

Another great album discovered. Didn’t know this is what Trip hop is. The amount of little micro samples really brought an extra layer to the production of the record. Will definitely be return to this and maybe even pitching my brothers vinyl

This is the Smiths I’ve been waiting for. After listening to a few record I didn’t get the hype and Morrissey’s voice was more annoying than anything else. This album was different. Loved his voice, loved the more mellower songs and loved Jonny Marr of the string as per

Some great songs here. Never heard of Tim before this. Who would have thought that his son Jeff would make great music too. Loved the Jazz vibes here

Great storytelling throughout the album. The intro using news clips of 2Pac getting shot and leaving the hospital really helped set the tone. Another song in which he raps about death, his mother and the world being against him were all great too. Really liked his rapping style aswel. Looking forward to more 2Pac albums

Wasn’t a big fan of the fist half but the last 3 song were incredible. The last 3 songs were almost completely instrumental so maybe that why I enjoyed them more with a bit lesss going on in the mix

Some really cool moments of drums, saxophone and trumpet but nothing really grabbed my attention. Can’t see myself returning to this one

I couldn’t find anywhere to listen to the full album

INCREDIBLE. Not just the hits like Wonderwall and Don’t look back in anger but the deep cuts, like Hello, She’s electric and cast no shadow. Champagne Supernova is a fantastic closer. They second Why, why, why? before the guitar solo does something to me deep within my soul. 5 stars 10/10. A+

Electric guitars, pummelling drums and screaming vocals make for a non stop album that kicks you in the teeth from the opening song. The tempo continues throughout the whole record and is so much fun to listen too. Was a mistake to listen before bed

Fun, fun, fun. Really enjoyed this one. Great start to the album with Buffalo Sauce and the good songs keep coming. The Next Generation was another favourite. Looking forward to more Neneh

One of my favourite dance albums. Amazing production, great vocals and some timeless classics. The world is a poorer place without Keith Flint and The Prodigy in it

I did enjoy this album. Some amazing guitar solos on some songs. However it didn’t really grab me like I thought it would after the first 2 songs

Some nice vocals but didn’t leave much of an impression on me. Could get better with more listens

I’ve been listening to a lot of Bad Bunny recently in the run up to the half time show at the Super Bowl. His music vocally hasn’t done much for me and I thought it was because of the language I didn’t understand. Well this album being sung in French has made me second guess my thoughts about foreign language music. I enjoyed this a bit even though with some of the avant guard music choices

Richard Ashcroft and the bad just don’t get the credit they deserve on this. Overshadowed by Oasis and Blur when this came out but this stand along side and better than some of their albums. Bittersweet Symphony is worth giving this a listen on its own. Lucky Man, The Drugs don’t work and Sonnet are also bangers. Will be back to this one time and time again. Incredible

Really lovely album with some great funky songs. Liked the laid back, smooth vibe of this one

Really boring. Won’t be going back to this. An hour and 4 minutes and 22 songs and I wasn’t a fan of any of them

A few great songs like one and even better than the real thing. But nothing else grabbed me. I did like the album but it didn’t blow me away

Amazing album. Loved all of it. Heard Brothers in Arms before so knew what to expect a little. Great vocals all over this and lovely guitar solos sprinkled throughout. Will 100% be back to this one

Janis Joplin’s vocals are incredible. Heard a few songs of hers but never a full album listen. The band and her play off each other perfectly. Great screeching guitars throughout and some really catchy songs. Ball and Chain was my favourite

Fantastic record. Loved the longer songs with the guitars walls of noise. I’ve heard this album grows which I am looking forward to. I did like this but it didn’t blow me away like some other albums have so far

The rap verses being exchanged between Chuck and Flavor make this a unique album. Some great samples too. The flash one used in Terminator X was amazing. Will definitely be back to this one

I liked a few songs. Mainly the ones sang by the female member of the group. The male vocalist just didn’t do it for me. Also there were a few songs that had good parts and then completely changed to a different vibe and killed my enjoyment. A few also had strange time signatures that I couldn’t get into

Ugh. Really repetitive for my tastes. An hour was way too long. Food for Thought was the highlight along with the saxophone playing just didn’t enjoy each song sounding so similar :(

Really enjoyed the vibes here. The Sitar playing is incredible. However, I felt like I needed a bit more structure and melody. Even though the introduction told me there wouldn’t be. Dádrà was amazing and fast paced throughout. The other songs didn’t quite reach the same level

Incredible rap album. Loved the skits, loved the clear, colourful and story driven lyrics. Made me imagine a visual with some on the lines. Best sampling I’ve heard on a rap album. 100% will be revisiting this one. BANGER

Great vibes here. Frank sings in 1 maybe 2 songs. When the guitar and drums are as catchy as they are here, who needs vocals. Willie the Pimp followed by Son Of Mr. Green Genes blew my brain. There is a LOT of Frank Zappa to discover which is a little intimidating but if there is more like this, I’m in

Great album. Liked the mix of soft rock and some songs being a bit heavier. Didn’t like get the “story” on the album. The little I’ve heard of The Who (Qaudrophenia) was more riff heavy. This was less show and I few songs did sound rather similar

Little mixed on this one. Other than the hits I already knew like Money, money, money or Fernando, nothing really grabbed me. Tiger was kinda catchy though. The mixing here also started to hurt my ears after the first couple of songs. Maybe I need another listen for it to grow on me

Off The Wall >>>>> Thriller What an amazing album. All killer and no filler. Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough might be the best album opener I’ve heard so far. Best it’s not just the incredible disco songs that are great. The more somber songs like She’s Out of My Life and I Can’t Help It are amazing too. I’ll be back to this one for years to come

Really nice vibes on this. Always been a bit daunted by getting into Bobs records and never knew where to start. I’m happy this was my first experience. Really catchy songs, great vocals and the harmonica backing up some songs is great variety. Looking forward to more

Man this album has me confused and torn of how to rate it. I loved some of the sounds on this and can see how it was so influential on so many bands. However 43 songs spread over almost 75 minutes is just too much for me. If 20 minutes of filler could have been cut and the track list been 15 songs this would be getting a 5 out of 5. Hopefully another records have better pacing a longer songs with no guff In between

My second Depeche Mode album and it’s another great one. I didn’t enjoy it as much as Violator though. The synths here give the record a much darker feel than I was anticipating. Never Let Me Down Agian was my favourite and the Aggro Mix really lets the synths shine

That was crazy. Going to give that another spin on my next run. Should get me going at a quicker pace.

Really wierd album. A few great songs. If only the majority of the album was like these songs, it’ll be getting a higher rank. However I can’t see myself going back to this for a repeat listen

Ummmm. Been digesting this one for 24 hours before reviewing. I liked it but I think I need to be in a specific mood for it to work for me. I did like a few songs especially Olsen olsen. Would be interested in listening to more

Fantasy album. Never been a fan of any Springsteen’s big hits. However this album has made me realise I’ve been missing out. Amazing voice and great guitars. Looking forward to more of Bruce

Nothing special here for me but did enjoy a few songs. Can’t see myself going back to this one

Very unique singing voice on Scott. The same as with Cat Steven’s though. Nothing that really grabbed me

Amazing rap record. Loved it. The storytelling, clear lyrics and infectious beats made this one of my favourite rap albums on the list so far. Wasn’t expecting a song with Nelly Furtado do be my favourite but Thin Line slaps. Great vibes here

Little bit mixed on this one. I actually preferred more of the instrumental tracks here rather than the songs in which Bobby is singing. I did love the song Kowalski with the history of the radio station. Will be back for another listen

Having a hard time rating this one. On the one hand I really like some of the songs like Reaching Out and This Woman’s Work. It’s also unarguable that Kate Bush has an amazing voice. BUT three times I’ve listened to this and three times I’ve fallen asleep. And I’m fine with that if that’s the vibe of the album 🤷🏻‍♂️

Amazing album. This is the perfect album for a late night relaxing in bed. Carole’s voice is incredible and paired with acoustic guitars, flutes and pianos makes the perfect mix. If I was to give this another spin, I wouldn’t skip a song. It’s to late or a natural woman are my top 2 but it’s hard to pick just 1 favourite

Great album. Got a little bit lost in the middle but the first 3 songs and last 3 songs are fantastic. If the whole album had similar baselines and guitar throughout this would be another 5 out of 5.

Loved this one. There is something about a roc band with a female singer that just makes the music sound better for some reason. Some amazing songs here Car Song, SOFT and especially Connection. Been stuck in my head ever since I listened. Excited to listen to more Elastica

Well, well, well. For such an awful and sad man these days, Morrissey does actually make good music without the Smiths. Very much enjoyed this. Great vibes on this. Speedway is a powerhouse of a closer which made me shout holy shit at the start. Never thought I’d say it but looking forward to more

Banger after banger after banger. Fantastic album. It’s a no skip for me. Guitar shredding never sounded better. I’ll never get bored of Sweet Child O’ Mine, Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City. But the deep cuts like Nightrain and You’re Crazy are great too. Loved it

Lovely voice but insanely boring. All the songs sounded the same. Black Crow is the only song I liked

Really enjoyed this one. The three live songs added at the end of the album were a great addition with the extra riffs and solos. La Grange is an absolute classic and now I can add Jesus Just Left Chicago to the classic list too

About as close to perfect as you can get. The way Jeff can sing quietly and somber and then belt out a chorus within the same song. The pianos, guitars, drums and saxophones are all amazing and add so much to the album. Will forever be a favourite. Would rate higher if I could. Long remembered Jeff Buckley and Grace

Fantastic sound on this. More than a feeling is an absolute classic and a great way to open the album. 37 minutes hasn’t gone by so fast in a long time. Will be listening to more Boston

Not for me. Bit too experimental for my taste. Dropout Boogie lived up to its name and did like another couple of songs but I can’t see myself returning to this one

I don’t know if it’s because I was lying in bed chillaxing, or because Sheryl has such a lovely and distinctive voice. But this album was a very enjoyable time. Some slow sad songs like No One Said It Would Be Easy and some certified bangers like All I Wanna Do. Fair play Sheyl. I was unfamiliar with your game

Had to give this one a couple of listens to form an opinion which has been rare so far. I’ve come to the conclusion that this album is amazing. The chilled out songs here are really good. Neil’s voices works perfectly on songs like Round & Round. But his voices also sounds great on the more upbeat songs like the INCREDIBLE Down By The River which is my favourite from this album. The guitars solos throughout the song really make it a stand out on the album. VERY GOOD

I’m on a great run atm. So many great albums being thrown my way and this one is another banger. Wasn’t the biggest fan when I listened the first time but a second listen has firmly made this a 5 star for me. I loved 6 of the 10 songs and liked the rest. Stevie does slow emotional songs really well but the funky songs are where this album shines. Boogie on Reggae woman was the highlight for me

Standard Queen album And that standard is amazing. Never listened to this before unlike Queen 2, Night at the opera, Day at the races and News of the World which I love. What a way to start an album with Brighton Rock. OMG. Killer Queen also kicks arse and Flick of the wrist is amazing too. More Queen records I haven’t heard please

Some great driving beats with saxophone, trumpet and piano working well together but nothing revolutionary. I liked it but probably won’t be back

Don’t really know how to rate this one. Thought the first half was kinda boring apart from Ain’t no other man. But the second half once “the curtain had risen” was really fun. Shame the whole album wasn’t more like the second half

Short and sweet. Enjoyed Loretta’s singing. Just a shame the songs finish before really getting their claws in me

WHAT AN ALBUM. Loved it. From the glitchy start leading into Mr. Self Destruct, the double punch of Closer and Ruiner and the beautiful ending run of Repile, The title track and hurt. I know that the song is now synonymous with Johnny Cash but I think I like this version better. 65 minutes long and every second is worth it. 100% BANGER

What can I possible add to the discussion surrounding this album that hasn’t already been said before? An incredible experience. One my first listen I wasn’t that impressed. However now songs I didn’t rate like Wesley’s Theory and Alright have become favourites. The last 5 songs from complexion to Mortal Man are perfect. Even with half of Mortal Man being a conversation between father and son. Amazing music, storytelling and politics. And some say GKMC is on par maybe better than this. I CANT WAIT FOR THAT

Not really my type of music but this surprised me. Great vibes here. Lovely singing with some good lyrics. The guitar solos that are sprinkled throughout the album are also fantastic. Getting some Pink Floyd vibes on certain songs. No other, Strengh of Strings, From a silver phial and Some misunderstanding are all bangers. Great run of song in the middle of the album

I liked the music but didn’t like the vocals. I know it’s punk music and the singing is secondary to the music but it just put me off. Let’s Lynch the landlord was great and Viva Las Vegas really surprised me

FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! Right from the start with Zero this album is amazing. Heads Will Rolls is so catchy even though I prefer the remixed version more. So may other catchy songs here like Skeletons, Dull Life and Dragon Queen. The guitars and drumming go so well with the female singers soft voice. Easy 5 star. Will be on my highlights at the end of the year

Really hard to rate this one after a couple of listens. Feels like an album that will definitely grow on me over time. Love the sound on here. The electronic vibe really work on certain songs. Come Together and Electricity were the two stand out songs for me. However I do think there are a few filler songs too. Trim a few off this and it would be getting a higher rating

This didn’t do much for me. I can appreciate Joanna’s voice, her skill at and pianist and her harp playing. However that doesn’t mean I want to revisit this any time soon.

I think this is the first album from the 60s that’s really connected with me. Amazing voice on Fred and some of the harmonica solos in the tracks really hit the spot. I’ve got a secret and Everybody’s talking are favourites here. I’ll be back to this one

Really good Brit pop record. Loved the first 4 songs and then there was a little lull before another 4 bangers. Cut some of the fluff songs and this would be a 5 start for me. 16 songs is way to many. That’s my only criticism

Amazing album for driving. Did pick up a bit of speed while Rapid Fire, Metal Gods and Breaking the Law were playing. Great drumming driving the whole record and the singing was amazing too

I’m sorry but the voice just doesn’t do anything for me and the style of singing made me laugh out load at the opening song. Didn’t like any song on this and I won’t be back

Didn’t know the blues could sound so good. The screaming guitar in this paired with B.B’s voice is so good. Sweet Little Angel was my favourite here. Will be returning to this one for certain

I’m really confused with this one. I know Kingd of Leon because of Sex on Fire and Use Somebody and just assumed they were “two hit wonders” and had no good albums. How wrong I was. I love this. I love the singers voice. I love the guitars all over this and love most of the 13 songs. ❤️

Call me a basic bitch if you want but I loved everything on this album. It might be basic and I don’t use that as an insult. The driving drumming and guitars compliment Feargal Sharkie perfectly. I can imagine myself rocking out to this one in the car, on a run and in work. One of the easiest 5’s I’ve given

Wasn’t a big fan of the first Sonic Youth album I tried, Sister. When I saw this was 58 minutes long I groaned. However I was pleasantly surprised. This is a great rock album. It did help that I was walking while listening, which I think made me go faster. Highlights for me were Sugar Kane and On The Strip. Love the album cover too

Great start and great end. But the middle didn’t grab me once. I know this is a classic but I’m not going to lose sleep over not liking it. Sonic Youth surprised me after a mid intro. Looking forward to more

WOOOOOW. What a kickass, short and sweet, amazing rock album. Everything was incredible. The electric guitar is played like it’s actually electrified. Not quite a no skip for me as We Will Fall doesn’t do it for me. But everything else is just perfect. More Stooges please

Very similar to Oasis. But on some of the song here that’s not a criticism. Some catchy tracks like North Country Boy and One to Another. Will be back for more listens

Loved the vibes here. Not my usual go to style of music but had a lot of fun listening to this. I’d be interested to listen to this on a walk or run

Only liked a couple of songs here. Which is a shame on a 45 minute long album. I did like the singing and acoustic guitar but it got old quick. This is the way and This Beard is for Siobhan were the highlights

I just don’t get why this is so loved. Only liked Isolation. The vocals are terrible and I don’t want to listen to it again

Loved the first 5 songs. Wasn’t expecting Marilyn to sound so good. Great guitar sounds too. After the first 5 songs though the album didn’t really keep me hooked until 1996 which was a banger. I think if this was trimmed down to 40 minutes instead of 70 I would like it a lot more

Loved the vibes on this. Joan’s singing over some of the funkiest baselines is pure “chefs kiss”. I want to know who did the drumming on this too because some of fills are incredible. Highlight of the album was Tall in The Sadle. Amazing closer to a fun and catchy album.

Great start to the record with Rikki Don’t Lose That Number and Night by Night. Everyone after that sort of sounds the same and I got a little bored. Nothing special but certainly not the worst thing I’ve heard

Fantastic!!! This is one of the easiest 5 stars I’ve given. Jarvis’ has an amazing voice. I love the way he tells and builds a story in my head. I can literally imagine the girl from Common People and Deborah from Disco 2000. This will be in rotation for a long time and would love to get a physical version

I am on a very good run at the moment. Another great album. What else can I say about Aretha’s voice that hasn’t already been said. It is like butter. So smooth and powerful and a joy to listen too. Favourites here were Respect and Dr. Feelgood

As a Welshman it’s ingrained in me to dislike the English. I don’t HATE our neighbour but I wouldn’t say I’m a fan. This album may have shifted my view of the England. That’s the biggest compliment I can give this propaganda. Really good and I want to listen to more PJ. The Colour of the Earth was my favourite

I don’t care if this wasn’t the “invention” of heavy metal and Sabbath got there first. And I don’t care if this is like Hendrix guitar playing, I thought it was amazing. Loved every song and won’t be skipping any songs on repeat listens

5 stars. All bangers Long Live Nirvana. RIP Kurt

Another Sonic Yourh. My 3rd now in 3 months. Little indifference about this one compared to Dirty. The first 6 songs are all amazing and a great first half of the record. The following 8 just don’t hit me the same way unfortunately.

Perfect. One of my favourite dance albums of all time. Up there with Justice, Daft Punk and The Prodigy Favourite songs were all of them

A few good songs on this but not the best rock record I’ve had in the list. I did like Queer, Not my Idea and Stupid Girl is my favourite on the album

Didn’t enjoy this one. Very boring imo. I only really liked Have You Seen My Face and My Back Pages which for an album with 17 songs is not great

Wow. This made me want to try and find love again. Anita’s voice is amazing and the funky music she is singing over makes this album stand out not just as a beautiful album about love, but a fun, sexy and introspective one. Will 100% be back here

Was feeling a little underwhelmed after my first listen of this. So i decided to give it another spin. It was much better the second time around. The first couple of songs don’t really do it for me. When the album reaches The Yo Yo Man, my enjoyment of it increases greatly and I loved the second half

I think this might have one of the greatest covers of all time that I’d never heard before. I heard it through the grapevine originally by Marvin Gaye is a timeless classic. Who knew that putting bluesy guitar with it would elevate the song to a different level. Chefs kiss. The rest of the album is pretty good too but had to get my thoughts out about grapevine

Some really cool and different songs on here and while John’s voice is definitely unique, I can’t see myself coming back to this very often

WOW. What a story!! The storytelling on this album blew me away. In the Flesh? is a great way to start the album leading into the iconic Another Brick in the Wall. Then they hit you with Mother. Jesus Christ what a beautiful and heartbreaking song. The second half of the album has Comfortably Numb on it which is one of the greatest songs ever made imo. Then In the Flesh returns for another brillant song and the ending of Pinks story on the trail and Outside the Wall perfectly end the album. 10/10 5 Stars

Didn’t really do it for me. Apart from Moving on Up, Loaded and Damaged. Heard so many good things about this album and I was unfortunately left disappointed

I struggled with this one because I know Frank Sinatra is one of the best singers to have ever lived, but this just doesn’t do it for me unfortunately

I feel similar to this as I did with Frank Sinatra. Maybe it’s just not for me or I need some more listens to get Bob Dylan

Some of my favourite bands are female lead like Blondie, Amyl and the Sniffers and The Beaches. You can add The Go-Go’s to that list. Great riffs, catchy lyrics and they’re a tight sounding band. 35 minutes flew by

Never got around to this one before. I love the debut by The xx and was expecting to enjoy this. Unfortunately it didn’t hit me on my first listen. I’m very happy I gave it another go. Dangerous, Lips and Replica were great but On Hold blew me away. Amazing album. For sure I’ll be looking for vinyl

So much fun. Catchy songs. Johnny is hilarious. The prisoners booing the guards and the warden at the end. Fantastic listen

I’m a strong believer in not needed legible lyrics to make great music. A think this proves my beliefs. The music is perfect. Great for a run and great for falling asleep too. Don’t even need to understand the lyrics to get the vibes

I’ve obviously heard of John Cale being a Welsh Charli XCX fan but never heard any of his music. I did know that his solo work can be a little avant-guard so this one intimidated me a bit but I really enjoyed it and was very accessible. Loved John’s voice. Half Past France and Paris 1919 are very catchy. Macbeth and Hanky Panky Nohow were just lovely More please

If I had to describe this album in one word it would be. Twang Very fun album. Great guitar solos and catchy drumming. Little bit long for me. If it was trimmed down by 20 minutes it would be getting a 5

One of the easiest 5’s I’ve given so far. Debbie is sounding fire on every song. Speaking of the songs, there isn’t one here that isn’t catchy, danceable and wonderfully performed by the band. It certainly has me Hanging on the Telephone

If this was a ranking of albums to get me to sleep this would be the highest rating I could give. But it ain’t. I can appreciate the playing but the pieces are boring

A solid rock record but nothing revolutionary. I like the opening 2 songs and rock of ages was a banger but I felt myself drifting off with other songs. Wouldn’t be against more Def Leppard but won’t be back to this very often

Been wanting to get into Jimi for a while. I really enjoyed the more electric guitary songs than the slower ones. Voodoo Chile and All along the Watchtower are worth a spin all on their own. However with a lot of albums I’ve listened to that are over 60 minutes long, a think some fat could have been trimmed.

Love QOTSA but didn’t love this. Just liked it a lot. Regular John was a great start and the final two songs were a great end. The middle of the album was fairly forgettable and would rather listen to any other QOTSA album

Another boring Joni Mitchell album but slightly better than Hejira. Raised by Robbery actually gave me some hope that she has good songs. No more though apart from Blue

Very wierd but no in a good way. Strange singing voice over some ok guitar rhythms. Won’t be returning to this one anytime soon

Perfect pop album. Almost every song is a banger. The sound of the synch work on this are immaculate. Looking to buy and will be listening again for sure

Didn’t know what to expect with Slipknot. Was expecting a load of screaming and to hate this album. However it left me pleasantly surprised. Not only did I like the music but the singing was really good too. A little long and same songs were a bit similar but overall I good album Helps that I was walking and went quicker than I have in months

Amazing vibes. My first Reggae album on the list certainly didn’t disappoint. Bob’s butter voice mixed with the bluesy and soulful bass is perfect. The trumpets, saxophones and harmonicas on some songs add so much to the songs. Really liked No Woman, No Cry. Natty Dread and Revolution

I’ve been getting some very good albums recently. An easy 5 star. Every song is amazing. How an album so good can be made when the band where all falling out with each other and battling drugs blows my tiny mind

A solid rock record but nothing special. I like a few songs but I won’t be revisiting this any time soon

Another great Neil Young album. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the previous album I listened to which I have a 5. The vibes were great, great guitars and Neil’s singing is lovely. Revolution Blues was my favourite here

Insanely boring. Not sure I’d play this in the airport but I’d play it on the plane to get me some sleep

SO MUCH FUN. It’s funky, fun and full of energy. Special mention for Play in the Sunshine, Hot Thing and I Could Never Take The Place of your Man. By far my favourites. Also loved the sitar on The Cross. I’ve listened to 2 Prince albums now and his music is amazing. Who knew? Trim out some of the less interesting songs and this would be a 5. It’s still a strong 4 though

LOVE LOVE LOVE One of, if not my favourite Beatles album. It’s close between Abbey Road, Sgt Peppers and this. I’m looking through you and In my life have a special place in my heart. RIP DAD X

The best Smiths album I’ve listened to so far on this journey of discovery. Every song is catchy, even Frankly, mister Shankly had me humming along. My only problem with the Smiths is whatever Morrissey sings I just can’t relate to him because he’s so awful. My favourites were Bigmouth Strikes Again and There is a Light
