1001 Albums Summary

Seminal classic! Perfection

classic grunge. Era defining with some stand-out tracks. some of the album does blend into one however.

Too whimsical, too much discordant jazz piano

includes the two tracks everyone knows - Born in the USA and Dancing in the Dark - the rest of the album is very middle-America.

Technically brilliant. Don't like jazz.

Classic Rolling Stones - good from first to last.

Filled a gap in the musical knowledge, but isn't my cup of tea

A drug-fuelled trip. Echos of early punk.

Very pleasant - soul, country, swing, show. It's all included.

Definitely punk. You can hear how this influenced later bands

Unexpectedly pleasant - she has an excellent voice and the melodies were lovely.

A bit whimsical for me

A classic! Santana's best album

Discordant. Not for me

Unexpectedly good. Like Morrissey but with more oomph

The one and the only

What's worse than jazz? Easy-listening elevator jazz

Not as instantly memorable.

Unexpected. Like the Cure - goth undertones. Relatively mono-cadence.

Classic Beastie Boys. Not my go to listen, but a slice of life

Pleasant - didn't realise this contains Mrs Robinson.

Conceptual - slightly odd

Still mellow.

Interesting With some highlights

Pleasent

Excellent album

Classic Rolling Stones. Great to understand where Wild Horses comes from

slow listening; good, but not my thing

classic album

Underrated

Folk and quite pretty

A lot of the tracks have the same sound, Boys are Back in Town x infinity

Definitely influenced Jack White

An absolutely stunning album

Absolutely cracking album

Nothing special. It may have been a first, but it's generally poor

Generic

Gospel roots, positive rap. This is good

I like The Who, but this was average

Understand why it's in the list - a heavier Metallica but not as good

Only gets 4 instead of 5 stars because of '17' which is discordant and frankly creepy

Not my type of music but nice enough

Good artist. Good album

Good 70s classic
