Very good album. Several great songs. It's at least 4 stars. And, with a couple more listens, this may end up reaching 5.

I had never heard of Big Star. Good album. Not great, but very good. The songs are interesting and varied. It helps that they apparently had two leading singers.

It's pretty good. Kind of repetitive. Not a hip-hop fan, so not terribly excited about this.

This is really close to 5 stars. Extremely influential. Short, direct, and distinct songs. As far as personal taste is concerned, I really like: Debaser, Monkey gone to heaven, Here comes your man, Mr Grieves, La la love you, Hey, Gouge Away...

It's a good album, and I'm pretty sure that this must have been pretty influential when published. However, I'm not really excited. In particular, I don't think the covers are particularly interesting (neither the selection, nor the performance).

Very good album. Oppressive. Dark. Almost painful at times. I really liked "One Hundred Years", "The Figurehead", and "A Strange Day".

Good album. Excellent guitar arrangements. Most of the songs are short and deceptively simple (the last suite came as a surprise). However, even if admitting that this is good, I didn't find it particularly interesting.

A difficult one (meaning difficult between 4 and 5 stars). Personal Jesus and Enjoy the Silence are so incredibly good (probably too good even). It's a very good album and it deserves at least 4 stars just based on those two songs. I also enjoyed Halo, Waiting for the Night or Policy of truth.

Very good album. Not a big fan of "El condor pasa" or the "Bye, bye love" cover. But I really liked The Boxer, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, or The Only Living Boy in New York.

I found this one somewhat interesting, but not really a fan. Too long. First song sounded promising. And yes, the Imagine cover was not really needed.

Very interesting. Really enjoyed it. It's not my favourite kind of music, but this was good (and a discovery, as I had heard of Fela Kuti but had never listened to his music).

I have the feeling that if we include jazz, we may end up with 1001 jazz records. This is obviously very good, even if I'm not a jazz expert.

There is no doubt that this is a good album, and I'm pretty sure this must be great in a concert. However, I did not find it very exciting. In any case, definitely worth a re-listen.

Very good album. I really liked the "Marque Moon" song (among others). I'll listen to this again to check the lyrics. It's 4 stars now...but I can see this reaching 5 stars after a few more listens.

This is a solid album. Good singer, great musicians, good compositions...but, not really my favourite kind of music. I guess it's probably the production (too "polished") or something.

A masterpiece. Probably my favourite album by one of my favourite artists (I've seen him live more than 10 times). I love most of the songs in this album: Badlands, Promised Land, Candy's Room, Darkness..., Racing in the street, Streets of Fire...As far as I'm concerned, this is better than Born to run, the River (which should be in this list by the way), or Born in the USA.

It's a good album, but I don't think it's really great. It's pretty long and ends up sounding a bit repetitive. Amy singing is great though. I'm also a bit surprised that Amy Winehouse has her two albums in this project.

Great. A masterpiece. One of the best album by the best band. All songs are great except Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Octopus' Garden. I particularly love I Want You and the medley.

For whatever reason I had never listened to Rush. This would be 5 stars based on side one. I don't think the songs on side two are that great, but the more I listen to it, the more I love that side one. Really great. I think I need to catch up with the rest of their discography.

I love what Eno did with Bowie, so I was ready to give this one 5 stars. However, it's not that good for me. It's more like 4 stars. Highly distinctive sound. Songs I liked the most: Do The Strand, In Every Dream Home a Heartache, The Bogus Man.
