1001 Albums Summary

I’m pretty indifferent to Bruce Springsteen’s music. Although, I’ve only really heard ‘The Hits’ but never dived much deeper. To me, this album felt grandeur but in a forced way. I think Springsteen has a great voice. ‘Hungry Heart’ rules (can hear the collective groan of Springsteen fans)! Didn’t love this album but maybe I was in the wrong mood to listen to it.

Big fan of The Kinks. This album is good! Sounds like if The Beatles were good.

This album reminds me of when my stepdad was having a drug induced menty b and required this album on full ball to fall asleep to. My mum HATED ‘One of My Turns’— to quote “I’d finally fall asleep and that f***ing song with the glass breaking would wake me up”. 3/5 for the album. But going to take a star away for mum’s lack of sleep.

GYBR (song) and Saturday Night’s Alright are such bangers. I like Elton John heaps but have only listened to the hits. Didn’t realise that all these mad singles are from GYBR. I love the theatrical and grandeur elements of this album (esp. Funeral for a Friend)— Elton can do this authentically and naturally— give it up, Springsteen (see previous review)! Some songs are ‘of their time’, but overall I think it’s a pretty great album. 3.5

Very pleasant to listen to! Maybe needed more drugs for my taste in 60s music, but still rocked

Excellent album! Westerberg could write a fkn song. Perfect band.

Every song rocks

Not my cup of tea. A little boring! Definitely not the worst thing I’ve listened to

Shit rocks. Plain and simple!

I simply cannot listen to this

Sumner cannot sing…and that’s all a part of the charm. NO rocks. Never listened to this album all the way through before. Absolute knock on from me, as it’s so good. 5/5!

10/10 the actual best. Keep a little Marc in your heart.

Pretty sick. Thoroughly enjoyed

Amazing
