1001 Albums Summary

As a relic of a different era, fine. But really just a pile of misogynistic gansta claptrap

Not a big fan but this had some decent tracks

Excellent - hugely varied but all tracks are a great individually, and go well together as an album

Brilliant of course. One of my favourite albums from the late nineties

First introduction and I thought it was interesting. I listened to their first album as a result (In Search Of...) and preferred that

Love this album, has a different tone and style to the one I know best (Odelay) but unmistakeably Beck

Horrible. I didn't find anything to enjoy in this album at all. Too clever by half and lacking in any kind of musicality, structure and joy. Awful

Enjoyed this more than i thought i would, but will probably never listen to it again

legendary of course. More innovative than i remember and has some greats tracks mixed in with the bangers

found this interesting, especially as not on Spotify now. Nice ambient background vibes

some absolute bangers intermingled with some other nice tunes. excellent for partying

very enjoyable, what a legend this guy is. Am only starting to appreciate this fact now he's gone

Unconventional, but almost pompously so. I'm all for invention but this feels contrived to me. And musically it doesn't do anything for me. Would I listen to this again? No

Wonderful stuff from one a great artists

Not my thing at all. Glad when it ended

Not my fave band from this era/genre but still some good grungy stuff on here

Classic vibes from these legends and would listen to again

A classic of course - should be on any self-respecting music lover's list

Excellent, didn't realise I knew so many of the tracks

A classic from a period which is very meaningful to me. Forgot how good Primal Scream are - perhaps blinded by Bobby Gillespie's druggy persona

quiet dark, slow and moody but quite enjoyable as something different

Very accomplished playing, completely inoffensive and great for any piano enthusiast. Just not for me

Enjoyed this more than I expected. Good old American rock and roll

Anything with Janis Joplin banging the vocals out is top notch, so this gets full marks

really enjoyable indie - blending americana with folk and some flavours or mariachi

Really enjoyed this, quite eclectic but a nice vibe. Will listen to more of her material

Much of this is music only but quite a nice vibe to it. Experimental

Not really my thing, as classic 60s pop/rock

I know some think this is a nostalgia-fest and disingenuously borrows from the past (motown etc) but I liked it. Great voice and some absolute bangers

Outstanding stuff from the legend that is Neil Young. Arguably his best (but let's not start that...). Lyrics to really make you think on our historical sins

Absolutely love this album. Got me into Bob Mould and all his other stuff. Great, solid power-pop rock which still resonates to this day

Not my thing and a bit smug and self-important for my liking

I love this album. It'll not be for everyone but reminds me of a particular period in my life and some close friends. But I do love the rawness and general sense of being on the edge that runs through this album

Iconic

I really liked this and it has introduced me to an artist that I wasn't familiar with and will listen to more. A great fusion of dance and rock

Eccentric and quirky, but not really my thing

Imho, this is a masterpiece, an album against which so many others need to measured. A head y blend of technology, aura and lyrics which draw you in. Outstanding. 5 doesn't do it justice

Excellent pop-funk from a guy who was annoying but excellent at his art. Still relevant to this day and popular amongst today's young generation

Not my thing but can see why she is so revered. Can almost small the heartache

This is nice - relaxing and warming. Great background music for a cocktail party or similar

Really enjoyed this, great background music and a lovely mellow vibe

one of the two goods albums produced by this lot. I considered giving it a thee but it's legacy is pretty significant so that upped it to a 4

Middle of the road, some fantastic tracks but also some pretty mid

I didn't hate this as much as I thought I would. Actually quite interesting and a few tracks I recognised. One or two I found a little too clever for their own good but not objectionable

Lyrically and musically perfect

Respect and all that, but not my thing at all

Never have liked thrash and this has not converted me!

okay for what it is but I'm not a rap fan...

Legendary

Something new for me. I liked the political messages and it resonated with me

Not my thing but a classic with some of their best and tunes

Again, not my thing but quite enjoyable.

Dreadful, gave me a headache

A big yes from me - missed out on these in my youth but have developed a growing admiration

What more can be said about this legendary album? Fabulous from start to finish

Again, a classic and brilliant from start to finish

Dull and dreary. No thanks

I found this dull and uninspiring

Enjoyable but immemorable

Outstanding stuff, great fun and iconic to boot!

Hard nope

Loved this he first time around and super grateful to have it come up as a suggestion. Simple, fabulous music and lyrics with a social conscience, veering into protest. Could not be more relevant if penned yesterday - in fact, I would argue even more so. Essential listening

Mediocre 90s fayre

Hard nope

Enjoyable trip down memory lane

absolutely dreadful. Predictably so. Deserves a zero

masterful work

This is a curious album although a classic and loved by me because of the memories it brings back. A mix of beautiful melodious songs and some drug-addled ramblings. But it's great

Enjoyable

Nice background music for a range of activities, including work. And good to be reminded of how familiar their music is

enjoyable, not all as poppy as some of her tracks (green light) but very listenable

Not a huge Coldplay fan but I enjoy their earlier stuff much more that later. So this is enjoyable, some great songs. Although I find his falseto grating

Innovative but not my thing at all

Not my thing at all

Loads of energy and some great tracks, but not really for me

Absolutely love this album and has a special place in my heart - our son was born as this was playing on repeat!

Inoffensive and sometime enjoyable stuff. Great to hear some of the singles again but I can't see myself voluntarily listening to this album again

Yeah, some great tunes but overall a but underwhelming

Was a huge Elvis fan in my early teens. Just in awe of his talent and charisma. But I think as I've grown up I realise that whilst his was a massive talent, it is not one I am drawn to. Two bangers on this album, The rest is meh

Enjoyed this, something different from my usual picks and clearly a legend of the underground/punk scene

I've always struggled with his over-Americanised voice. But he is a helluva songwriter. Great stuff, with lots of the sentiment very relevant to this day

No, just not for me. I understand why they have 'legendary' status amongst some but the music does nothing for me. 'Turd on the Run' is about right

I really liked this and will listen to more of his material

eccentric, of course, but enjoyable

One banger and the rest is pretty forgettable

One of my favourite albums of all time. Outstanding

I'm not a massive fan but this is excellent stuff

Beautiful, relaxed music for a sunny day

Enjoyed this and may well give it another listen. Quirky, musically interesting

Bizarre mix of glam, hard and jazz rock. No doubt gets certain musos waxing lyrical, it's too weird

Obviously this is just genius

Outstanding, seminal work. This needs to be in my vinyl collection

Interesting stuff, and new to me. May well listen again and explore more (perhaps the studio stuff rather than live - it's all a bit 'jazz wanker' in the background)

a classic and one of my all time favourites

You can't deny the talent and skill but this kinda 'rock opera' stuff just doesn't do it for me

Something very different for me and very enjoyable. Will listen again at our next sunny barbecue

Quite enjoyable but no great shakes

enjoyable and took me back to my teenage/student days

I've never liked Talking Heads, and this only confirms that I'm right. His voice could be used as an instrument of torture

Not my thing at all

Not my thing at all

Nice and chilled and worth a second listen

Top notch stuff from the glitzy rockers, great touch of indie in there too

enjoyable jazzy r&b, will listen again

Nice retro 80s pop built around some true classics

Generally like New Order but the vocals on this album are almost hair-raisingly bad.

Quite enjoyable and fantastic musicianship but too 'classic jazz' for me

not too familiar and this is clearly excellent folk fayre - but not for me

Gave me a headache. I say 'NEIN!!'

Not the biggest Beatles fan but enjoyed this

Bit of a mixed bag, with some tracks perfect for a summer BBQ/party and others just a little too innovative for that vibe. Worth checking out other material though - and also this genre

Respect, but not my thing

Not my bag at all

Not my thing but quite enjoyable

I love Neil Young but this album demonstrates why he's a bit marmite. The vocal can be a bit grating!

Wonderful stuff

pretty awesome shoegaze/grunge

Obviously a classic and a well-rounded album

just not my thing

enjoyable retro folky pop - what's not to like?
