It's a classic, but is it acceptable in this day and age?
Solid album, rewards multiple listens, comfortingly familiar.
Peaks and troughs.
When it's good Cisco kid and works is a ghetto really good, otherwise pretty boring at times.
Likely won't listen again.
Flows well, innovative at the time, good mix of genres, love it for that.
A solid album, but will I revisit it often?
It's affy long. Enjoyed what I had time for, but 2 hrs!?!
This is stand out the best 1001 album I've listened to yet. From the off its innovative, experimental and engaging.
Far more interesting than the majority of albums on this list I expect.
This album flows brilliantly. I can live without the skits, but the topics, politics, culture and experience that it represents are so well done.
Way ahead of it's peers at the time and no wonder they became so big and influential as they did.
From the off you can hear the influence on other bands. Placebo, Faith No More, Duran Duran (obviously).
Interesting listen, well crafted, I like it.
I don't think I'll visit it time and again though.
A lot of Lou Reed, a little of the National and a remarkably odd choice for 1001 albums I must listen to before I die.
A few good tracks, but largely forgettable.
1965 right in the sweet spot for country being the US of As pop favourite. I like this album, it sounds familiar and it's easy to listen to.
Will I listen again, like lots on the list probably not.
I like the fizzy old production and the chugging rhythms. Decent
The hits are obviously timeless and the band will forever resonate through history, but sounds like Seaside (who has time vaudeville, it's a bit aggravating for my taste) and a song about loving a car.
Pretty decent, but like Alan Partridge I'll stick to the best of.
This one caught me by surprise. Expected to hate it, but I've got more time than I thought for goth pop from the 80s.
Cracking album.
This album was outstanding when I first heard it and carried it's magic all the way to my 5 year old getting into fight for your right.
Great band, eclectic back catalogue and fun times.
This is a good pop album. I like the odd song with hints of the Kinks. Good variety and song writing.
Songs that will stand the test of time. Just not an album that is overly to my tastes for repeat listening.
I kind of wanted to like this a lot more. Iconic and influential band, however it was a bit of a rambling mess. So fantastic moments, some great ability in show, but it didn't hang together.
The lyrics are annoying at best, the subs are all over the place and it's themes are weak and rambling.
I expect much stronger prog albums to come.
All time classic, possibly the best hip hop album ever made.
I've listened to this many times over the years and it flows beautifully. Deserves all the praise it gets, rather than seeing for stardom, it sought credibility through innovation and musicianship. It's so well crafted, it'll take a long time for someone to have quite this level of vision again.
KOL aren't a bad band, but with success comes expectation and pressure to churn out the hits.
This album is what happens, middle of the road dirge which loses the edge and energy that made it cut through in the first place.
I've not listened to this in a long time, I thought I was about to settle in for 2hrs plus of noodling. Not so, 5 songs, 45min... This is going to be good.
I really slept on Pink Floyd as a teen, when I should have been lost in this most weekends. Great album, lovely production, instrumentation, song writing, ambition and execution.
The best album on the list so far by quite a ways.
This album sits in the background neither wowing not offending.
Reminds me of the first Chvrches album, but with a lot less impact and charm.
It sounds exactly like what you'd hear on top shop or H&M.
Lots of 80s influences, but a no point does it surpass those influences, especially not the MJ rips. I don't think I'll bother listening to it again in French, although I expect that would be an easier listen.
Iconic, influenceial and fun. I feel like we could use more consciousness in hip-hop in 2026, and probably for a decade plus before.
Really enjoyed revisiting this classic.
Every song on here is a classic, with the exception of changes, which has been tainted behind repair.
I was going to give a 4 but I don't think you can when you consider this one album spawned multiple metal subgenres and influenced so many bands over the years.
Arguably one of the most influential albums in music? A great listen.
There are songs on this album I love, like disorder and she's lost control. There are a lot of songs that just sit in the background. It's never been one of my go to albums, but the influence on artists I love is huge.
It was pretty enjoyable to give it some time.
I thought this was the antagonist from Warriors when the album popped up.
Alas, it's not, pretty decent 70s punk from down under. A few stands out tracks, great opener, good all round effort. I enjoyed it.
Well crafted and considered nonsense. I never realised until now the parallels with the vocal style of David Byrne.
Devo, the love child of taking heads and Kraftwerk.
The album in which Neil invented grunge? Great album, not my favourite Neil Young however. Still a great album.
That second version of my my, hey hey is great. The fuzz, the fuzz.
A band I struggle to fall in love with, but understand the significance of. Another one for the best of approach. Good album, but unspectacular.
Not my favourite Radiohead album, solid but neither as urgent or important as the earlier albums, or in rainbows that soon followed after.
Great band though, essential part of anyone's musical journey.
Pleasantly surprised again but am album on this list.
Not my cup of tea, but you can hear the influence out maybe had on Regina Spektor or Sharon Van Ettan.
At times I was lost in her voice and instrumentation, which oddly kept reminding me of songs from James Bond films. At other times, I was perplexed at the tedium of it.
