1001 Albums Summary

Some highs but I felt generally average for the genre. I was new to this album and it didn't really grab me like Pendulum did when I first listened to it. John Fogerty has a wonderful voice and that held my attention, but not enough for me to run out and buy a copy on vinyl.

I liked a few Beck tracks back in the day and was aware of the 'Odelay' album. I don't think I took that much attention of it even though it was heavily praised at the time. Not quite sure why this was, but 96 was a busy year and I guess my music input was narrowed down by everything else going on in life.... Anyway it was refreshing to sit back now and listen to the album in detail. I really enjoyed it and wondered how did I miss this! If it comes up in my local second hand record store I will 100% pick up the vinyl and give it more airtime.

Fabulous album and a revelation when it first arrived. I actually prefer the later stuff especially 'Tranquillity Base Hotel'. But can't deny the debut is a great album. I don't think it has aged that well considering it's only 20 years old and there are other albums from that time I think I would now listen to first.

I like a fair bit of popular Rolling Stones material and the obvious 2 on this album are great tracks imo. Unfortunately the rest of this album just bored me. I haven't listened to it in detail before and I feel I haven't missed much. Full of bland songs imo and not much to get too excited about. I doubt I'll be returning to Beggars Banquet soon...

Bjork has never been an artist I have taken too. I find her voice quite frantic and though she does have some great tracks I can't get through a whole album of her material. I tried again with this one but it's just not for me.
