Rated 8/10
I remember everyone getting very excited by this at the time of release. I like it, the voice is great the production is great. That said, I still don't quite "get it" - the thing that elevates it from good to great.
Rated 6/10
Not as great as I'd hoped. Obviously familiar with the Funkadelic / Parliament combo, but can't say this set the heart pumping.
Rated 8/10
Wonderfully camp, Euro electro. Can only imagine what it must have been like hearing this deep in the middle of the prog and glam rock era.
Didn't like the first time around, don't like them now.
Rated 8/10
Slightly too young to appreciate first time around ("Dad, why is that woman screeching on TOTP?") but absolutely deserves all the love and praise heaped on it over the years. The opening 3 tracks alone mean it fully deserves its spot on this list.
Rated 4/10
Slightly puzzled that this one made the cut. It's OK, with a heavy 60s R&B vibe but nothing that made it stand out for me.
Rated 10/10
Ah, absolutely classic dirty R&B. Channels peak Stones from a few years earlier and if "Sweet Emotion" doesn't get you grooving round the house / in the car, well, I can't help you.
Rated 8/10
Angry, gritty, full of emotion. Hadn't listened in a long time, but this is still a great album.
Rated 4/10
Why? Why are you making me listen to another Bowie album?
Rated 6/10
For some almost biblical in it's awesomeness. For me, decent alt-rock.
Rated 4/10
Still don't "get" Bowie. Sorry.
Rated 6/10
Not my favourite genre, but can appreciate that this guy is one of the legends and it being a live album makes it that little bit more special.
Rated 6/10
Really? One of the best ever? Kravitz is an incredible frontman seen live, but this is just generic rock right? Conclusion : it's OK.
Rated 10/10
The title pretty much sums it up. A feast of whisky, penny whistle, folk and punk spirit. A classic example of a band at the peak of their powers.
A cracking blend of big band swing and jazz. Not a genre I'm normally familiar with but loved this. In modern parlance - "an absolute banger"
Rated 10/10
One of the greatest greatest. As any fule no.
Rated 4/10
Didn't really "get" it. Sure, nice enough concept, but one of the best 1001 albums ever?
Rated 8/10
Classic 90's "pop-rock". Obviously Mrs Robinson the most well known / loved track here (and for good reason - a great cover) but the whole album is full of gems.
Rated 10/10
Yep, 100% understand why this is on the list. Wave after wave of dreamy sounds. I don't have a magic carpet, but if I did, I imagine this would be the soundtrack to riding on it.
Rated 8/10
Bleep, blip, bloop, but with funk and soul
