1001 Albums Summary

A band that has always made me feel slightly nauseous, and apparently still do. "Let's go away for awhile" was okay.

Not something I'd usually listen to, but did enjoy it. Also liked the instrumental/remix versions on disc 2. (Much better than the Beach Boys for sure.)

Not my cup of tea. Not entirely objectionable (like the Beach Boys) but no memorable tunes, not one I'll be putting on in future.

Excellent album. Haven't listened to this in many years, so good to revisit it.

Really enjoyed this. Not a band I've ever listened to before, not sure why.

I adore this album! From the heartbreak of "I never loved a man (the way that I love you" and "Drown in my own tears" to the strength of "Respect" and "Do right woman, do right man", and the hope of "A change is gonna come". What a voice. Not the first time I've listened to this album, but the first time I've listened properly.

Blast from the past! Waterfalls is of course fantastic, and Sumthin' Wicked This Way Comes is an excellent ending track. Also enjoyed the little interlude tracks (something you miss out on when you're listening to Spotify playlists and not a full album).

Even putting aside my moral objections to Elvis as a person, this album was dull and repetitive.

Enjoyed this! Had heard a couple of songs from it before, but never the whole album.

Think I enjoyed this. Probably would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't attempting to crochet a wee Jimothy raccoon at the same time and had to restart several times because his little ears keep going wonky and I DON'T KNOW WHY. "If I Can't Change Your Mind" is a bop.

The other day I heard on the radio that injecting sulfuric acid into the atmosphere could help reduce global warming. I was meaning to look up more about it as it seems like a risky move that could have some bad consequences. Anyway, the song Sulfur reminded me of this so that was useful. Good album! Enjoyed it more than I expected.

Had never heard of Antony and the Johnsons before, so nice to be introduced to something new! Really enjoyed this album, very chill and lovely.

This was not one to listen to on day 3 of a period. Was going to write it off, but tried it again a couple of days later, and actually really enjoyed it. Sorry for doubting you, Jeffers.

Something a bit different. Probably not one I'll put on much in future, unless I need some non-distracting background music while I read, or do a complicated crochet pattern, or finally get round to renewing my driving licence...

Had mentally lumped them in the same category as Beach Boys and Beatles. Turns out they're not quite as objectionable. But still. Not my cup of cold brew tea liqueur.

...meh. I mean, it was FINE. Just not terribly interesting.

Hadn't heard of Kacey Musgraves before, and took a couple of listens to really get into. But I enjoyed it! Especially "Butterflies". Bit soppy maybe, but that suits me just fine right now. 🥰

A good exercise in can we (and should we) separate the art from the artist? Couldn't help feeling someone uncomfortable while listening to this. Though even putting that aside, I don't think it's one I'd choose to listen to again.

Love this album - used to listen to it a lot as a teenager. The opening chords of "Can't Stand Me Now" are such a good start to an album - one to rival Pixies' Bossanova opener, "Cecilia Ann". Love it. Gonna listen again.

Nick Cave always reminds me of my mum when she lived in her little flat and would listen to Nick Cave a lot. So he in turn ends up reminding me of mushroom risotto. Excessive amounts of mushroom risotto. But I like this album. And it also reminded me I still haven't checked out the TV adaption of the Death of Bunny Munro. Didn't think much of the book when I read it, but perhaps it's one of the rare ones where the screen adaption is actually better. Like Stephen King. Terribly books, but they make excellent movies. Sorry Steve.

It's fine. I don't hate it. It's just a bit...meh.

I like interludes. It's the kinda thing you miss out on when sticking Spotify on shuffle and not listening to albums in full. Enjoyed this, even if it's not my usual kind of music.

Beginning to suspect the '60s is not my decade.

I do not entirely object to this one. Alas, nor am I blown away by it.

I feel you have to be in a particular mood for country music. And today I am not in that mood.

Always a good way to start the day. No faults. Love it.
