1001 Albums Summary

Would be a great neurological rewire in 76 but 50 years later it doesn't have the kick I was looking for. Not aged as well as some other bangers from the 70s

Strong 4 for me, still holds up really well. Will be making it's way into the running playlist rotation.

Was hoping to hold off on my first 5 star review for a bit but got Michael for day 3. Timeless 👌

Lovely, visual, varied.

A beautiful period in music history. Crackling jazzy samples and people pushing into new territory. Scratches an itch the brain.

Surprised to not enjoy this one very much. I do like a good bit of Bowie but this album didn't hit me the way I was going it would. I feel like I should apologise to someone.

Kate Bush knows how to get down with those out of pocket vocals.

Iconic sound can't give it less than 4. Jammin

I can understand the Pulp enjoyment but it's not my thing.

Can't fault MJ and it's an iconic album as expected - there's a couple tracks on this one that I come back to. But it doesn't have the oomph of his later albums for me.

Strong 4 still a powerful vibe, will return to this one again.

Great vibes very fun piece of music history

What a pleasure - ashamed to say I was not as aware of Carole King as I should have been. No notes, this will be an album I'll come back to many times.

Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today To give 5 stars to Prince, For making a 9 minute song Feel too short.

Not really listened to Beck before but I dig it. I like all the funky found sounds and experimental vibes, will come back to his one

Strong 4, had a great time hoovering and listening to this one. I was pulling some moves hitherto never seen before.

Good vibes enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Someone took all the 90s sounds and put them together in one place

Like a more chill Led Zeppelin pretty great stuff. Will be listening to Yes more often.

This slapped maybe I should listen to more country.

Enjoyed it as it's very much my type of music. It felt like a bit of a mess at times though, there are stronger albums in the same genre/s from the 70s/80s that ain't on this list.

What a gem of a fine, have not heard this band before but very happy to find some more good Scottish artists, have been listening to more of them since.

Stronger beach boys albums out there I'm afraid, surprised to not enjoy this one that much.

Bit hit and miss for me on this one, appreciate the vibe

Take On Me elevates this otherwise kind of boring album.

Another one were I appreciate the vibe and how distinctly The Stranglers sound like The Stranglers. However wasn't grabbing me the as much as I wanted.

Through extensive experimentation science has finally created the most neutral rock and roll possible. All other rock and roll bands should be judged as either harder or softer rock and roll than The Black Crows. Very agreeable and inoffensive vibes can't complain

Strong vibes and interesting lyrics will come back to this.

The Joshua Tree is a good album. This isn't The Joshua Tree. The whiplash of going from One Love to the "I spiked your drink" song will haunt me. One Love brings this up from 1 star.

I understand the Talking Heads now. Their music is about the small bigness and the big smallness of life. Also Psycho Killers.

I liked this strong Sade vibes will come back to this band for a wee peek I think

Cannot deny how iconic this album is. Not the type of music I'll choose to listen to but if I've had a couple drinks and some tracks from this album come on then I'm right there baby.

Liked this one a lot think I will come back for more Garbage. Edinburgh represent!

Very cool. Innovative use of sound of the time (hell yeah I can use words). Was more entertained than I thought I'd be cannot complain.

I decided to skip the pedo album

Delightful, will definitely be listening to more Dusty Springfield, didn't even realise she was British!

Surprisingly modern sound that has really held up. From what I understand, Deep Purple were one of the early pioneering heavier metal style bands. Defo comes across and found myself headbanging and getting into this one.
