1001 Albums Summary

Not my favourite arcade fire, much prefer the suburbs

Fantastic album, i stone cold classic

Great album but not my favourite Jimi

What a voice, fantastic arrangements

Fantastic album, soulful, jazz, rap and thoughtful

Good album, not the best Radiohead but thats a pretty high bar

Bowie in an unbelievable run at this point, everything he released was just fantastic

Would never have listened to this as not something I would look for. Good album if you like your rock heavy and grizzly

Never heard before, silky typical 70's soul. Beautiful voice. Good album but definitely of it's time

I remember buying this and playing it non stop because it was so raved about and I just couldn't get it. After this latest listen I still don't. There is so much going on, it tries so hard to be the beach boys and flaming lips oh and mercury rev but it just doesn't connect with me

Remember this coming out, quite the hoo has about it. Not aged well for meeting, although not my sort of music to be fair

I had never heard of them or this album before, I really enjoyed it, I can imagine The Strokes playing it none stop !

I had to work away once and the person i was working with was a huge Meat Loaf fan. Had to listen to this for 3 hours there and then 3 hours back, i hate Meat Loaf, refusing to listen

Very much of its time, i enjoyed it though

At last an album I love ! My type of music, really good will dive into more Siouxsie and the banshees

Never listened to before,couple of good tracks but I'm 52 so probably not aimed at me

Bought this album after hearing paper planes, album still sounds great, so many great track on it

Bad bad bad, not my scene at all ! The Christian life needs banishing to hell

Bit of a mess by this time !

Not a queen fan

Melancholy and introspective, good album

Good old hoary rock n roll

I remember hearing this as a kid and it seemed so otherworldly to anything else I was listening to. It transported me to sunny isles and led me to a love of all 70' electronics. I still adore it, a must listen to anyone with a fascination of electronic music, it will send you down many a rabbit hole though !

Street life classic, the rest poor elevator music

Good introduction to a great group, I can see me going down a throwing muses rabbit hole

One of greatest live albums ever

A do have a soft spot for The Divine Comedy. Neil Hannon is a wonderful writer

Despite Kevin Rowland being a cock I did enjoy this, some classic tracks, notably Geno and there there my dear

My god everybody smoked far too much pot in the early 70's if they liked this

Loved this when it first came out, still sounds great. 2nd album was even better I thought

Not bad, just the blues really

Good album, dont really know a lot of Django Django, will probably give it another listen

A bit of a classic,

Thoroughly enjoyable, singles are obviously outstanding but enjoyed the rest of the album too

Loved it, start of Bowie's soul period. Just magnificent

Not my bag whatsoever

Not really my thing

Good album but no way is this as good as norman fucking Rockwell which is far superior

Not forme

Just love Pixies, one of the Great groups

I did enjoy don't think it would be in my 1001 albums though

Enjoyed it, not a great knowledge of the cure so good introduction

Best prodigy album ? I listened to it non stop as a kid and even now 30 years later it still fills me with joy.

Really enjoyed this, 70's soul apart from big hits is something I am not overly familiar with so this was a nice surprise

Great scuzzy album

Didn't know what to expect but did enjoy this, pleasant hip hop

Love Paul Simon, just a genius

Great album loved it,

Classic Stones, bit of a golden period for them

Not my favourite Bjork album by a long way, I would say this is one of her weakest efforts

Fantastic album from a fantastic group, dark and brooding and a great summation of life at the end of the 70's

Angry, visceral, important, a great album.

Don't know a lot of Elvis Costello,good album

Just terrible !

Loved it, Morrissey at his sarky best

Haven't listened to this for so long, just magnificent. End of a startling run of albums.

Great album, not just rap but a collection of many genres

Too long, apart from a couple of tracks nothing special

Suits a sunny summer day, fun

Don't listen to a lot of folk but enjoyed this

Love a bit of Dolly !

Never listened to this before, always been a bit put off, but I was pleasantly surprised.a lot more mellow than I was expecting, a good Sunday night listen

Enjoyed this, not too knowledgeable about The Go-Go's but this was fun

I think they smoked too much pot and believed too many Arthurian legends ! Fun though

I love most kosmische music including this

Love Leonard Cohen, every chance this could end me down a rabbit hole

Jock cock rock not for me

Absolutely adore Kraftwerk, brilliant album

I love Jack White, seen him live so many times. Not heard this album for a long time, definitely happy to hear it again. Went down a jack white rabbit hole after this

All the tracks are sooooo long and heavy. I fully understand this was loved when it came out but not my bag

A group I have never heard of before. Did enjoy this, would certainly investigate more of The Youngbloods

I adore this album, feels innocent and trippy at the same time. A Floyd before it goes dark

I just find this album very dull, I love Jamie XX and Romy's solo albums but this is just flat.

Birmingham's finest, a banger

Good album, don't know too much echo and the bunnymen apart from hits, album was good

Okay in a old time hoary way

Not sure I would enjoy this but I really did. Old school hip hop and not gangster rap

I love the sound of the sitar and have often enjoyed ravi Shankar, good album

Love OMD, love this. BTW if anyone reads these listen to OMD new album as it is an absolute banger

Long album !

The boss ! Good album but not massively my thing. Bit too bombastic for me

Phew 28 minutes is long enough, good but there is only so much of it I can take

Not a big police fan but didnt mind it, please no more though

Good album by a great artist. I do think her latest album is one of the best things she has fone

Love The Monkees, this would have been a great album but needed to lose 6 or 7 tracks

Classic

Love this album, some of my very favourite Led Zep tracks, but some gubbins unfortunately too !

Enjoyed it, not sure I will be doing a Herbie Hancock deep dive though !

Great album

Love Prince

It's Pixies just a guaranteed 5 star

Listening to this reinforced my loathing of Van Morrison, just an album full of dreary mor nothingness. A blank canvas of an album, completely dull

One of the greatest albums ever

It's The Kinks and has the Greatest song ever written on it

Really enjoyed it, knew a few tracks but might investigate them more
