1001 Albums Summary

Day 1 of #1001#albumgenerator being the third album release by Van Morrison widely regarded as his best. A subtle move away from folk jazz I must admit I enjoyed my first play of this 1970 album for probably thirty years and found it more accessible than previous plays. The title track is something of beauty. I have listened on CD for this recording and overall I think a 3 out of 5 from me.

New wave at its best. I thought I was back in 1978 again. Great album and good to hear it again.

Stunning album mixture of punk and prog. I love this album

Loved this album on release as it mixes rock with jazz and krautrock .Its a complete move away from the sound of the 3 previous albums. A fab album and a nice return for me having not played for a number of years.

An influential album the bridges jazz, rock and electronica. A hypnotic recording with some wicked funk rhythms. The start of something major for me.

Not heard this before as not a fan. Did'nt enjoy much to be honest so low rating from me.

Remember listening to this album around 1982 on the bounce from the punk/new wave movement and found this a refreshing listen. Not so sure this time but an ok listen to be fair.

A popular folk rock album from 1972 which includes the classic title track. This one passed me by in 1972 and again a relisten in 2026 did little to change my opinion.

A terrific album with a cracking and line up.

One of the greatest recordings of all time. Nothing to add

A cracking album a great sound of the time it was made

I am a huge Joni fan but find this album a difficult listen. Stripped back and stark i prefer Hissing Of Summer Lawns and Hejira.

Lennon's finest solo album and it did'nt change my opinion on listening again after probably 10 years. Classic songs with classic arrangements.

One of my favourite albums of all time. Only listened to it last week but who cares it’s a masterpiece.

Beautiful album from a superb artist. A truly classic debut from Stills.
