1001 Albums Summary

haunting, emotional, richly layered masterpiece

upbeat, with some dark and aggressive undertones

Good, not sure if it is my favourite Led Zeppelin album. Some good tracks, some ok.

fun, youthful, spirited, raw

Not my most favourite genre, but there were some catchy tunes. Innovative mixes and melodies.

full of vim and vigor, novel sound for 1986.

better than i thought, lots of smooth beats and funky hooks

a full range of songs, some loud rock, pop, piano ballad. A journey through the minds of Queen.

um wow, definitely cutting edge in a way. like a Lynch movie soundtrack. Not exactly danceable, but ...intriguing?

great album, lush and expansive. Soothing and melodic.

smooth, early self-pity album of the famous lothario

great, fresh, so full of hope and feeling

harsh voice, varied melodies, interesting

hard rockin 80s tunes

i liked this much more than the first specials album that I listened to a few weeks ago. more range

fun, hummable, catchy songs. not terribly deep or contemplative.

boppy, good, energetic

made the blues popular, skilled at guitar

chaotic, like the soundtrack from a musical, but less melodic. not my cup of tea.

better than i thought. jangly garagey rock

good fun fresh

ok, not my favourite. some good tracks

fun, knew many of the songs. some guest stars. great album

ew

fun, pleasant, melodious. had never heard of them before.

youthful anger, energy

good ol' raunchy Snoop before he became a paid MAGA supporter.

interesting - some blues, some downtempo. still some falsetto too

love it, blast from the past. not my absolute favourite Nirvana album, but it will suffice for now

still pretty good, but so many of the songs have been so overplayed, it is hard to hear them with fresh ears and not fatigue

lovely, soothing, pleasant listening experience

fun, funky, fresh

much different than later BeeGees - music spanned from folk, country, pop, orchestral, hymnal... very interesting and shows off their talent as musicians

kind of like the clash, but more melodic. I can see why it was inspirational to so many modern rock bands. enjoyed

like Phil Collins and Coldplay had an illegitimate child. dreary and whiny and not my cup of tea

a wild and wacky tour inside the minds of outkast

pleasant, soothing

ok, not the most intriguing to me

lovely beautiful calm music, singer-songwriter

delightful, evocative of so many feelings and memories

boppy, complex jams and funky jazzy beats

great classic music, so many talented musicians

not my favourite, but can see why it was popular at the time

lively, passionate, quirky

some bangers, though Cyndi's voice can be grating at times

jazzy, easy listening type stuff

loud and intense

Fun album. I enjoyed the tap dance solo percussion bit.

painful, janky, over the top prog, urr "space" rock.

fun, unpolished Elvis with all his youthful energy

popular stuff, trippy and dreary. good for curling up in a ball on a drizzly grey day

boring mid-90s easy rock with some annoying piano bits.

the guitar is wild, it's a snake, it's out of control.

good, some tracks I had never heard before

lovely, so very smooth and pleasant to listen to. Like a warm spring breeze in a hammock.

the mayor of funkytown

spoiler: not at all country and western

You've heard about the girl in El Paso? Well she's Marty's girl and he's on his way.

I like it as much as I did in 2009. A little too off-kilter/off-beat to be a pleasant listen, but I guess it's a good challenging listen.

better than I thought it would be based on the album cover and first few minutes. like a boppier more upbeat Air.

exactly what I expect from Bruce Springsteen. sounds of a summer road trip.

fun and energetic Little Richard. I can imagine how this would have blown the minds of the non-exposed back in the day and frightened WASP parents.

its' ok, a few bops. The famous song "Alright" is quite different than most of the album.

similar to the sex pistols but with some of the roughest edges sanded off. still bashy, crashy, yelly, but slightly more melodic at times?

very Leonard Cohen-y. good if you're into that down tempo droning stuff I guess.

Funky smooth and cool. What more could you ask for? Maybe some politics and advocacy? You got it.

good listening, I wish it had been more widely known in N. America

so much emotion. it holds up.

36 songs and 1.5 hrs of pure jangly mildly-trippy joy

Prince in all his wild creativity. so many solid bops.

did not finish, kinda bland

great, soothing, heartwarming, lovely dependable Bob Marley

I had to listen in chunks to be able to manage Axel's screeches, but the angst is powerful

just as dreamy as I remember

the music you hear in a hotel bar now has a name - Bill Evans Trio

perfection

i can see what they were going for, but the combination of rock opera/industrial/whatever this is doesn't really do it for me, sorry.

the radio hit songs were annoying as they have been so overplayed, but the deeper cuts were better than I thought they would be. solid 3.5-4

kind of what you expect form the name and cover - organs, jangling garage groovy

much better than I thought it might be. i think Haircut might be buddies of Wham, Pet Shop Boys and some other UK early 80s fabulous groups.

better than i expected, not great.

deee-lightful! I had never listened to the full album, but there are some real bangers in there.

good songs, too many versions. this album has 4 versions of Summer Breeze and 4 of That Lady. I would rather hear some different songs, thanks.

perfectly pure 60s psychadelic pop

bleeps and bloops, but in a downtempo, really cool way

ok, not my favourite. doesn't seem cutting edge or musically brilliant, but perhaps it was at the time.

great, excellent, peak Bowie (IMO)

conceptually challenging, but it doesn't do it for me. I can perhaps feel my neurons growing, but not in a pleasant way.

very very different than I had thought it would be. in the 90s I only read the name and thought they would be industrial/hardcore, but nope, not at all.

like a close cousin of queen's more rocking songs, but without the vocal dexterity or cool harmonies

an awful lot of blues guitar, if that's your thing. otherwise ok, nothing standout spectacular.

christ, that album went on for-ever.

delightful, as always. A trip from upbeat and wacky to downtempo and moody.

good, rich, nuanced, varied. why we fell in love with Arcade Fire in the first place and before the ick of knowing about Win's behaviour overshadowed the beautiful music.

better than I thought it might be. like a shared distant cousin of smashing pumpkins and sonic youth.

60s pop-folk, some pleasant songs

raucous fun. proud mary is *such* a banger.

so many tracks, like a tapestry of musical creativity. This fired me up when I was 15 and continues to do so today.

non-disco beegees. very melodic and sweet.

Like a breed between Talking Heads and Rolling Stones. I'm not sure who carried the baby.

funky, groovy, completely unnecessary solo guitar jam in the middle of the album.

very many songs, but most of them are good

very pleasant listening

great, such a mix of intriguing and well-honed tracks. entertaining and pleasant listening.

spirited

I much preferred George Harrison's solo albums.

prog rock. what can one say?

easy listening, non-challenging or threatening.

it was ok. Spotify gave me a song from a later album after this one and I liked it more as it was a bit more polished, but still unhinged and passionate.

more punky than the hit Brass in Pocket. good solid album.

not at all my style. reminds me of Primus, CDs of which I was tortured by teen boyfriends in the 90s. ew.

range of musical styles, all pleasant. oh yoko is a bop.

weird. lullabies and talking about witches and 'she takes you in deep'. curious, but not great.
