It's a bit of fun but to be honest the greatest thing ever.

A lot to do with Snoop's personality rather than the music I don't dislike it but it becomes boring after a couple of tracks.

One of my favourite albums (although Nearly God is better). Played it a million times and it's never dull.

Deeply raw and personal- the sounds and rhythms are so unique.

I love cracking open a beer, dimming the lights and playing this from track one.

1969? Yes it's quite dated but......there's just something about this.

Never heard of them or this album. Mellow country-rock or Psychedelic orientated it's well put together and meanders from track to track with a variety of other styles (even some Jazz in there).

They disappeared as quickly as they had arrived it seems but this is well worth the listen.

I remember taking this out from our local Library 'on-loan' for a week and playing it to death.

Unfortunately it disappeared soon after (probably stolen) so I was never able to repeat the experience and my pocket money was spent on other random stuff (sweets) so 'saving up to buy it yourself' was not an option.

This is a trip down memory lane although it's got the '80's' vibe and is pretty much the same the whole way through.

Still, it's a good vibe and enjoyable now.

This is very much of it's time. If you listened to this with your mates in the 90s it must really hit you but to me it's just another grungey/rocky band singing about depression, drugs and pain.

Not that's it's bad- it's well put together and produced but means nothing to my ears.

It's ok I guess.

So 60's it's difficult to be objective and not see it as a museum piece.

Still, there's a couple of good hits on this and the rest a bit bland.

Although it's not something i've listened to before and will very no doubt ever listen to again this is vintage 1977 Punk/New wave.

Great vibe and energy. Authentic stuff.

I'd been away (not the USSR) and had a few albums to catch up on.

Left this one to last- an album so familiar to me I can't really look at it objectively.

Pretty every track on the double album has had an influence on the culture we live in today.

Iconic.

Maybe it's a nostalgia thing but I found myself really enjoying this.

Pretty much a one-trick pony but boy what a trick!

Wow this is a real mixture of genres and sounds- kinda low-key but easy to listen to.

Reminds me of early 10cc in their ability to inject styles and mould it together.

Why all the Morrissey hatred?

I've never managed to get into the Smiths and Stephen later on just continued the same vein really (without Marr's great guitar contribution).

Still, this isn't bad really, pleasant warbling and MOR musically.

After listening to a load of wannabes this transcends a mere album to be honest.

Quite simply a legend and even the album fillers are good.

I had this 'liked' on Spotify but maybe I was feeling more energised then?

This tires me out. She's very talented and it is unusual but maybe tomorrow.

I like it but for 1994 times had moved on maybe?

Still, it's well produced and certainly controversial

Never been too keen on Live albums- there's only a handful I like (Cash, Nirvana and Who for instance).

This is no exception. I like Van but I'd listen to these tracks in a studio album or go an see him live in person.

Always liked PJ and this is different from her early stuff.

I do like the odd sounds she puts in.

I liked this but can't say it's the most innovative sound- I can hear a lot of other bands and vibes in there.

It's 1997 so right in the middle of all sorts of sounds going on.

Nicely produced too.

I've still yet to really appreciate these guys (and gal) but I get their authenticity.

I've started to enjoy some Rap recently. Totally different world and almost 30 years away.

This deserves it's place in the 1001

This guys always been a bit of a closed book to me but this is quite endearingly theatrical.

It's sounds almost 70s at times- certainly quite retro in a nice way. Shades of Harry Nilsson, Billy Joel and even Randy Newman dare I say?

Pleasant songs, well put together and presented.
