1001 Albums Summary

Great vibes! Wasn't sure at the start, but recognised a few on there! Ends with Free Bird of course. Great summer vibey album.

Not for me. Some half decent tunes on there, but just don't like the overall vibe.

Classic. Great album - every track solid. Some solid Mick Jones sung tracks on there too - Protex Blue for example.

Interesting - sounds very classic Beach Boys, but definitely has some more experimental tracks that nod toward different genres.

Marcus Garvey. I know who that is now.

Love the first track synth hook. So 80s with the gated snare and the LinnDrum machine. Listened through twice - really like it. Might have to buy it.

Reminds me of college! The first two tracks are great and have been heavily soundtracked over the years, so they are very well known. Reelin in the Years was the highlight for me during the rest of the album. That interlude riff is so good!

PANAMA! Got some big hitters - Jump, Panama and Hot for Teacher, but I can listen to these in one offs in a playlist, not a full album. Too cheesy.

Find Mark E Smith hard to like. It's okay. Don't think it's enough to drag me into a Fall rabbithole.

Remember this from childhood, so pretty sure my parents had it! Good album - enjoyed every track and a nice change of pace from The Fall and Van Halen before. Might be worth a purchase if I see it knocking about cheap!

Bit of a slog. I can respect them, but it's not for me. I can't imagine choosing to whack this on at any point. The weird song with the chorus about erogenous zones was weird...

What an album. I was trying to justify giving it a 4 instead of 5, but Black Dog, Rock and Roll, Stairway to Heaven, Misty Mountain Hop and When The Levee Breaks make it unjustifiable.

Got some decent tunes. Don't think I like it enough to revisit it.

Pretentious and boring.

Got some decent tunes! Found some of it quite boring.

Kinda liked it, but not really my thing.

Some decent folk songs I guess!

Like my some blues.

Such a horny heavy rock album.

Wanted to like it more than I did, unfortunately! A lot of instrumental filler and I felt the only decent song was Heroes!

Not really into the metal scene, but I can see why people like it.

Just dull and as middle of the road as it comes.

Decent. A bit samey in places for me. A few stand out tracks - the first track obviously and Solid Ground.

Bit too bonkers/John Robins for me.

Pretty bonkers.

A classic. Got some great tunes on it. Time of the Season is ofc an absolute classic.

It's power is undeniable.

A bit samey. A Forest is obviously a classic. Not sure on the rest...

Bit of a vibe, I must say! Was a fun one to listen to whilst making tea.

I get it, but not for me.

Half missing on Spotify due to some weird self-censorship. Loved it when I was younger though. Bought the CD on MusicMagpie for 3 quid.

Missing on Spotify. Listened to what I could.

Absolute classic. Always gives me a big nostalgia hit as I got into it when I first started working at ZOO - probs 2013ish.

Took me back to being a 10-year-old wannabe gangster.

Picked up as it went on, but not for me! RIP Dolly Parton - absolute philosopher.

Bit of a modern classic in my eyes! Coincided with my first music festival too, so fond memories of this album! Ready to Start and The Suburbs are worth this alone.

Classic.

Pretty mad! Loved some of the tracks, but couldn't tell you which one or which parts.

Not for me. Very hard work. Reminded me of the fruitier Paul McCartney stuff - "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" etc.

Liked this a lot!
