1001 Albums Summary

Not really a big fan of Radiohead so i can take or leave this one. Musically not bad and you can see the talent but doesnt do it for me.

This is a great album selection...especially for those whose blood runs cold when they hear the words "drum solo".

Not bad...not brilliant. He has done much better than this over the years.

I like Elvis Costello. This is a nice album. Is it one of the 1001 in my opinion? Probably not, but I would still listen to it in a moment of nostalgia in remberence of a distant youth!

An important album of its time. Sounds a little bloated now and could have benfited from being provided as a single album.

Alright if you like this sort of thing. I do like hearing their hits...memories of early childhood, time, place etc.

Nice well produced songs that are occasionally derivative and fall into the "tortured soul pouring immortal longings" category. May listen to it again in the future but no real highlights.

Late comers basically copycat british punk cleaned up for the us market. Well produced but im not 15 years old and ive heard it all before. Singer looks like bit of a tit.

Fancy elevator music.

Quite enjoyable.

Great!

Twee pop. Not bad...heard worse, heard better.

Great!

Another slice of life from the thinking mans Coldplay. Highly probable i will not listen to this again although it wss ok to listen to. Didnt knock my socks off.

Nice pop. Wouldnt cross the road to engage with this but can the appeal. Nothing new to offer.

One of the greats..

Funeral is better...this is ok. Assume they ran out of ideas....

Heard of them but never listened to them. Enjoyed it and added to my playlist.

A few good tunes and nice to hear again

An enjoyable trip back in time.

Well produced bland instantly forgeable durge.

Marriott hotel lobby vibe.

A classic! Another ive not listened to for a while so am happily going through Issacs oeuvre! Again!

Still sounds good.

Enjoyed this.

This is awful. Dreadful AOR....very suitable for the US market of the time. Good production though.

Formuliac and dull. I did like Since I Met You but the rest was a dirge.

Ok, this is the third Radiohead album that has come up in as many weeks! Still not a fan and this is the worst of the 3 so far!

Good return from Bowie with the Eno collaboration.

U2 did some good stuff early in their career. This was later.

Meh!

Meh!

One of my top albums.

Its ok. There are better bands of this genre.

Great musicians, well produced, dull

Great early 70s soul!

One really good song, others not so good. Great singer, tight production.

Good tunes by and in the style of PJH

All the songs sound the same. Dull.

Havent had the inclination to listen to the Gorillaz ouvre. I now know why. This wont happen again.

Top album

Never heard of them. This is a fantastic find. On my playlist for now.

Good use of echoplex...and Small Hours is a favorite.

One of the best. Sea song is a top ten favorite of mine.

A classic of its genre. Havent listened to this for a while and was surprised that i could "sing along" to everything! Memories!!

Pleasant enough. Wiled away an hour

They were great in the early days with Roy Wood. This is a formulaic mish mash of pop.

Havent played this for years. Good to hear again!

Great

Never listened to them in full. Great 60s vibe with a couple of songs ive heard before. Will listen again!

Modern day Syd Barret stuff. Album suffers from poor editing. Cut it down to 8 to 10 tracks and this could have been great. Way too much stuffing.

Good to hear again

A shouty PJ Harvey

Ok.

Primary jazz prog!

Great to hear the Doors again!

Not for me

Brought back mid 70s memories!

Better than i thought it would be....

One of my favorites.

A good album but not as good as Porcupine.

Started interestingly then went dull quickly.

Another top album.

Ok...derivative....novelty....whatever

Not heard this one before. Interesting but not captivating.

Another id not heard. Quite enjoyed listening to it

Dull and pretentious. Never got Pearl Jam.

A classic!

Dull. Repetative.

Dreadful

This was way better than i thought it would be.

Wholly dull. Another point of proof that Harrison had the better solo career and more talent.

Monstrously dull

Interesting mix of styles

Forgot how good early Chicago were. Why did they fall inti that 80's/90's ballad crap. This album is great.

Very important album. One of my top ones.

This is, by far, the best album by this beat combo.

My favorite led zep album. Absolute best!

Not really my thing but enjoyable

Another album that would benefit from a removal of filler trackers. Theres 8 to 9 cracking songs on here. Dump the rest.

Great album

Generic, dull, been there before crap.

Not bad...nit cimpletely my thing but not bad

Nice to hear.

Cant believe they are still going. I suppose there are enougg people around to get their stuff. Noe me. This was difgicult to listen all the way thtough.

Not my thing.

Nice pop.

Great listen.

Bit of the same old, same old vibe.

Enjoyable 60s pop.

Top album

Bit dull. Not fantastic mix/priduction.

Easy listening on a sunday morning. Alright but not my thing.

I should like White Stripes but I dont.

Top album. Best he done.

Great. Couple or bangers in here....as the kids would say!!

Interesting synth pop

Starts well. Gets samey. But i like it.

Temu Duran Duran. And never cover Velvet Underground songs if you are a Temu band.

Nice 60s listen.

I like Green Onions. But every other tune here was a variation on that so got pretty dull.

A true delight!

Its ok but there is much better material from other bands if this genre.

I love the first few tracks but gets repetative and dies towards the end.

Another classic.

Hadnt ever listened to a chem bros album from start to finish before. Enjoyed this!

Had no idea who Louis Prima is. Then i heard first track and knew. This was very enjoyable!

Not their best but ok.

I cant believe this slbum was so popular. Painful to listen to.

One of the top stones albums! And one of the first i bought as a kid. Memories!

Enjoyable enough

Not something i wouldclisten to again.

Never heard of Veloso. This was great. Really enjoyed.

Enjoyable. Seems a long time since i saw them in an early incarnation supporting Hawkwund or someine similar!

Not my thing. At all.

Good voice. Seems to be a top bloke. Liked Wham alot. Not too into the solo stuff but well produced and a decent listen. If youre in the mood.

Top band.

Very influential but the other Krautrockers were more so. Kraftwerk led us young kids to them.

One of the big three!!!

Interesting.

Liked some it....he had sime good tunes but was never a huge fan. Does bring back childhood memories...

I like an occasional Bjork tune...mainly earlier stuff. This dragged on a bit.

Not up ti Rock Bottom standards but still a treat to listen to.

Generic tosh. There is way much better stuff in this genre.

A classic....dont like country but do like Cash!

I like the concept of Lenny Kravitz and enjoy some of his tunes. Just gets a little repitative and dull.

His lyrics are fantastic...his autobiography a hoot...the Smiths were great....and his role as a curmudgeon spot on. Solo stuff....well, its not the Smiths is it. And therein lies the priblem.

Always enjoyed this one!

No... no....no....

Not as good as the earlier stuff but still much better than other contemporary material from other artists

Nah....not very good

Excellent

This was painful. Marvin has a great voice which just about carries this mess. Sounds thrown together with no thought.

Enjoyable stuff!

Has all the hits bar a couple. Things get a bit samey snd one thing runs into another but not bad.

I should like Rush. I dont. They are overated in my opinion. But a lit of people adore them so i may be wrong.

Interesting. Sub standard for the genre after first listen but intriuging enough for further listening.

Not a fan of Bruce

A top pop album with hits the kuds all love.

Nice pop.

First album was great. More of the same here. No evolution. A bit dull

The last old time album. A cd set up like an old lp. No fillers just straight up top tunes in the right order!

Heard of them. Never listened to them. Now have and really enjoyed.

Their only good album. Last track is great.

Nice enough. Not really my thing.

One of the best.

Not heard this before. Very enjoyable at the correct part of the day.

Its ok....

Not really my thing

It was ok...not my thing...well produced

Too samey for me.

Takes me back to my youth! Adverts were one of the greats.

Well produced now classic album

Dull

A classic

It certainly is Little Richard.

A cracker!

Not too bad...dragged a bit but ok.

Peter Gabriel + Genesis = Fantastic. Apart, both bad. As is this ouvre.

Hadnt listened to this for a while. Good stuff.

Never fell into the Paul Weller camp....although i do like some Style Council stuff. This i do not like.

Nick Drake wannabees beloved for some reason. I am not one of them.

Super!

Enjoyable. Prefer Thriller.

The best of the best

Excellent.

God awful pap.

I do like neil young especially with crazy horse

Leading up to the spectacular run of three best albums.

Not exactly the Ting Tings but in that bracket.

Not overly impressed. May need additional listening.

Wasnt in the mood for jazz when this came up but appreciate it .

I like the ISB...this is not their best though

One of the most perfect albums. Production work is fantastic.

Not bad...

Painful

The last of the great Pink Floyd albums. Downhill after that starting with the abysmal Animals.

One or two good tunes but this was a short lived experience. Maybe keep the running time down to 44 min in future.

Tame tunes. Turgidly dull.

Their last best album before they went their separate ways all producing piles of dung in their own ways.

Great. Good to hear after so long a time.

Great pop. Cry me a river is good here but mixed into Oakenfolds Great Wall mix it goes to another level.

A nice step into the past.

Not one of his top albums

Some good old classics!!

Its ok..

All the hits as they say, pop pickers!!

No. Not their best.

Bit too long...all get a bit samey after a while

One of the Captains best

Not quite Kanye or Jay Z. Pretty dull.

Excellent. Takes one back to their youth and all that.

Another memory jerker that is ok.

Its ok...not a huge fan of commercialized reggae... prefer dub etc

Love the Chili Peppers but they make every damn album with too many tracks. Cut it down to 9 that flow into each other. Dump the rest.

Never really listened to Tears for Fears as i thought they were crap. How right i was.

Its country music and i dont like country musuc.

His second best!

Ok...i think the one with the hits is probably better

Its Bob Dylan!!!

Not quite oasis or the verve.....

Fanastich!

Enjoyed his...new to me. Hint of the Swans about them.

I like 7 songs by the manics and they are very good songs. None on this album. 13 tunes with no reason to be there. Fillers, knocked off to fill a contract? Who knows.

No.

Excellent. New to me and will get futher plays.

I like the rots.

No

Yes

Some good covers from the old time country crooning rebel.

Fantastic. Took me back to my early teens. Good times.

They did two good albums. This was one of them

Yes! Took me way back to my youth!

Its Frank.

Not bad

Their best i think

First time listening all the way through. Not bad.

Enjoyable.

Probably their best.

Enjoyed this...sort of Crystal Castles/Daft Punk style
