The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Sep 07 2026

A joyous 1960s coming of age with some surprising little Motown sounds amongst the California surf rock. If the lyrics were problematic in 2026, I didn’t notice. “Help me, Rhonda” was the clear favourite.

Harvest by Neil Young
Sep 08 2026

A slow and uninspiring start opens up into a really nice album from heart of gold onwards. Except for A Man Needs A Maid. Someone should talk to Neil about that…

Fragile by Yes
Sep 09 2026

Was it a rock album? A symphony? An acoustic exploration? A masterpiece? I have no idea. If I could give it 3.5 I would

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Sep 10 2026

Listening to the prodigy at 6am with a baby, a coffee, and a bowl of oatmeal hits different to listening to the prodigy at 6am at a music festival.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Sep 11 2026

I really don’t want to write another review about a problematic man, but too many songs here were about young girls. Bring on a female artist!

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Sep 12 2026

I’d pre-written the review. It was going to be a novella detailing my struggle to celebrate the melodic, ethereal genius, with the things I knew he’d done. Am I ok to cancel culture the 1001 albums? Would I drop him from five stars to four because of that? Turns out I didn’t need to worry. With the exception of Life on Mars, the album was ok.

Document by R.E.M.
Sep 15 2026

This album contains at least five of the anthems we need right now. R.E.M for all.

Sep 16 2026

I didn’t know I had this Hole in my music history and I wish I’d known this version of Courtney Love before today! I enjoyed this grunge goodness from start to finish.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Sep 17 2026

The perfect running playlist does not exi….

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Sep 18 2026

Fun, upbeat, and full of trials and tribulations, what a yo yo! I did like it and I still think four minutes is a good length for a song.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Sep 19 2026

I didn’t realise how much I’d missed Jenny, Andy and Natalie. Hot Fuss, you’re a star ⭐️

The Slider by T. Rex
Sep 20 2026

I’m not talking to John about my reviews before I post them anymore. Mine was going to be better! It was “now I see where my chemical romance and the wiggles got their inspiration.” Or maybe it would have been a connections category. But he ruined it.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Sep 21 2026

Music to put the baby to sleep that unfortunately didn’t put the baby to sleep

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Sep 22 2026

This is what you listen to while drinking red wine and cooking your new love interest bolognese for the first time. Lovely

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Sep 23 2026

Some fun songs and a good enough stop on my music edification journey but ultimately discordant and just not my style. Sorry Beastie Boys.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Sep 24 2026

I wish the music was more engaging so that I paid attention to the important messages. I did like the pan flute though.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Sep 25 2026

We all have bad days at work. Today’s was the person who picked this for 1001 albums to listen to before you die.

21 by Adele
Sep 26 2026

If I didn’t give this album four stars it would only be because of my ego, I sang along to every song.
