1001 Albums Summary

Immigrant Song is iconic in its own right, followed by some tonal shifts with Friends and Celebration Day. Out On The Tiles is great, but Since I’ve Been Loving You goes at least three minutes longer than it should. Gallows Pole stands out with its roots of old English folk music. Overall, a solid first album on this long journey!

Look, I’m not a jazz guy, never have, never will. I can however, appreciate the significance of Monk and what he stood for at the time. Unfortunately, for me personally, it never switches out of first gear, though the drums are spectacular in places like Bemsha Swing.

I’ve never heard of Joni Mitchell, and it seems I’ll have to listen to some more of her stuff to get a good basis of what she was about.

Banger, after banger, after banger. RATM never fails to get me angry about the government 😂

How many times can one phrase be repeated in a song? Ask Fatboy Slim, because he’d just tell you it’s not enough.

Bob Dylan is gonna Bob Dylan whether you can stand him or not

For a debut album, it hits the standard of what it was trying to achieve

Patti Smith was possessed by an anti-autism demon when this album was made

Seen in another review this this is no longer in the book, genuinely not massively surprised

Time to feel the funk! Head bobbing along with pretty much every single tune on this 7 track album. Highly entertaining.

Dont have much to say about this one. Standard

Haven’t heard Laura Nyro before, and I can’t say i’m thrilled to have heard of her now

Is it overplayed? Yes. Is it iconic? Also yes.

Never really listened to The Who, but I’m definitely missing out on what was a very solid album

Solid first album

I’m developing a quick and easy dislike for country music

Surprisingly really good

Country, country; and more country

Took me by surprise, but this slaps

Nailed it

A bit same-y, but certainly a vibe nonetheless

Cee Lo Green is a prick, but he made annoyingly good music

Surprisingly good. I’ve always heard U2 being memed, but this was enjoyable

Not my thing

Guitars are cool, but someone ban this man from singing

Repetitive, but I enjoyed it

Folk, folk, and more folk. Please enough

Bleh

Energetic, good hits, worth a listen

Delete my ears?

Cyndi Lauper does Cyndi Lauper things, unfortunately by Tyne time you get to the back end of the album, you get fed up of the voice.

Sigh. I can never decide if I like The Sonics or not. This doesn’t help their cause

Early Beatles fucks hard. Just like they always have

I unironically like Bruce Springsteen

Certainly one of the albums of all time

Lyrics not written for today’s standards, certainly weird

Ever had a stressful day and you put an angry album on? Don’t do that. Put on this one instead.

Really fun live album, some very good guitar solos, especially in Need Your Love. Definitely worth a listen

Waterloo Sunset is the only reason this gets higher than a one. A slow burn album with no pay off, highly influenced by The Beatles… really not for me.

…this is an album I must listen to before I die? Apparently?

Blur does blur things. Woo hoo.

Genuinely not entirely sure what I’ve just listened to.

Vibey and funky. Worth a listen

Really good opening track, really good closing track, everything in between is kinda middling and not really standing out to me

Really good album this

Standard chilling funk and soul

Absolutely fantastic.

Kendrick is king.

Ehhhhhhh

What.

Loved the guitar on this album

Absolutely fantastic, right up my street

Short songs that don’t give you a chance to get into them, and can barely understand a word being said

Reggae has never been my thing
