noisy, strange, short

very odd, very german, very long (but not really), very interesting musically

strange and wonderful - I loved every strange minute!

not essential, nor one of the best 1,001 albums, but one I would probably never have heard otherwise, so I'm glad it was on the list. Sounds like a band with many more albums under their belt.

so 90s it feels a bit weird to be listening 25+ years later. Good though, and gets a Scottish bonus point (just)

a wee cracker

Björk gets five

Weird and boring, which is an unusual combination. Exists on a YouTube playlist, so the adverts were an occasional relief. Not the wurst album by a German artist (still Nico), but not one I will come back to any time soon.

Wonderful, and so different from most of the list. I didn't understand a word, but I didn't need to. An artist whose name I had heard, and whose work I look forward to exploring when I'm done with this list

Old fashioned melodic country pop, from an artist I had heard of but not heard before starting this project. Pleasant enough, but absolutely no edge or emotion

Pretty pretentious proto prog, perhaps precocious pap, perhaps pretty passable.

Flawless

Perfection

Pish

A great voice, and a few brilliant songs, but does he really need 5(!!) albums on the list? Maybe, but I'm not sure.

reminded me a lot of Wire, especially Pink Flag, but actually came out before it. I was sure they were British, and astounded to find out they are not. A band I mostly knew from their influence on other artists, but I will definitely seek out more music from them

nothing to do with the Tom Hardy films, or Eminem song from them, but not as much fun as they are either. Probably not actually black metal (by modern standards) but a solid NWOBHM effort, even if that it the worst genre name of all time.

the most Springsteen album - even more than his more famous efforts. Hard to pick a highlight, but I have to mention Atlantic City - a song I can't remember ever not knowing

weird and dull

Pretty dull, then Time of the Season shows up. An odd story behind the album - all sorts of fights and splits - but the album sounds so serene
