1001 Albums Summary

Always been a favourite anyway but revisiting was a lovely way to start this project, I fear I may have peaked too early... Playlist track: Sir Duke

This had been on my to listen list for the last 10 years with good reason. Extremely my shit, will probably go up in rating after a few more listens. Playlist track: Eyes To The Wind

This album is lightyears ahead of its time. I understand why it doesn't land for some people but it has everything for me. Playlist track: Gloria: In Excelsis Deo

American Girl is obviously a massive highlight and would maybe earn a spot on 1001 songs but this album isn't really very memorable. I listened to it twice through and could only tell you about American Girl. Playlist track: American Girl

Curtis Mayfield has an amazing voice, this is a style of music I'm not that overly familiar with but I really enjoyed this. Hoping to dig into more. Playlist track: Freddie's Dead

I knew the mega hits from this album but have never listened to it through. Ironic is one of those songs that I've heard in the context of being a single so many times its actually kind of jarring in the album but it does still flow well. I thoroughly enjoyed this and found myself running it through twice back to back then listening to a few stand out songs again right after. Playlist track: You Learn

Always backed Blur over Oasis a much more interesting band through and through. You can see how many bands are influenced by the various sounds on this album and there's enough variety that its a thoroughly enjoyable listen. Playlist track: London Loves

I've always appreciated the importance of this album and I know that its good but I just don't think its for me. There's a level of irony about this album being released by Sony as well. I'd love to give this album 3.5/5 or a 7/10 but I need to round it and the coin flip came up tails so its a 3. Playlist track: Know Your Enemy

Enjoyed this to start with but I checked out halfway through. This is impressive and I think I would enjoy it in smaller bursts or in the background but I can't imagine myself going back to it fairly often. Playlist track: Live For Today

I would have never listened to this under any other circumstances. To be honest I didn't hate it or really have any negative feelings towards it. It just isn't something I'm ever going to listen to again, I do appreciate it from an educational standpoint though. Playlist track: Mast Nazroon Se Allah Bachae

I’ve known the name Def Leppard forever but the only song I know is Pour Some Sugar On Me which is extremely cheesy but fine. Pretty much sums up this album it was inoffensive but I forgot about it as soon as it finished. Playlist track: Excitable
