1001 Albums Summary

Enjoyed the first 15 minutes, but then it went on for another hour

Too long

3.5/5. Not the worst alt-rock I've been thrown, but by no means is it amazing. Overall it sounded better than other alt-rock albums I've listened to.

Just fine, not something I'll want to listen to again. I feel like this was only added because it has one hit... seems to be a recurrence.

Really a 3.5. Solid album, enjoyed listening to it. Nothing on here blew my mind, however.

Not bad, not my taste. I would never desire to listen again.

4.5. I really liked this, will be visiting this again. Great folk.

Just another subpar alt-rock album. Not something I would choose to listen to. To me, it is average. Nothing stood out to me.

Generic, unenjoyable, alt-rock

One of the best albums ever made. Every song is the best on the album. A true classic, one of my most listened to in my collection. The cover itself is amazing.

3.75/5. I liked this. It’s was weird, different, and good. I would not mind revisiting this.

same old same old. Post punk. Not a fan.

4.5/5. Solid stuff here. I have not listened to a lot of Elvis, but I am a fan of this. If I saw this at a record store, I would pick it up.

I did not find anything special about this album, it was fine.

3.75/5. This album rocks. It's some solid rock, I liked it.

2.75/5. It was fine. Nothing special, kind of dragged on.

3.5/5. I liked this. I haven’t listened to much west cost hip hop, so it was nice to hear some new things. Definitely more violent than east coast.

3.5/5. I don't know what to think of this. I have never listened to anything like this before. It did not sound bad. I didn't necessarily enjoy listening to it, but I also did not dislike listening to it. Interesting stuff for sure.

1.5/5. I don't understand how people enjoy this type of music, very unenjoyable, makes me a little insane listing to this stuff.

2.5/5. Same old new wave. Maybe when this came out it was considered good, but it definitely did not age well. Sounded generic, most of the songs sounded the same.

This was fine, nothing really stood out to me.

It's ok, I don't really like the sound of this type of music.

Not good, I did not like this.

Nothing that stuck out to me, it's ok.

This was alright, I don't really have a strong opinion about this album.

Good stuff here. I always knew Lou Reed for "Walk On the Wild Side", but a lot of the sons are here are great as well. I would pick this up if I saw this at a store.

It was fine. Just an average alternative rock album with some touch of indie rock.

3.75/5. I enjoyed this. I thought there were some funny lyrics throughout the album. I also thought most of the songs sounded good. I will have to listen again.

This is some really classic bad 80s music. I did not enjoy this, however, I think they could have made it worse.

I loved this. I love Bob Marley and the Wailers. This is a classic. Something I will listen to again.

3.5/5. It was different, but good. I liked the sounds on it. I need to listen again.

3.5/5. Not as good as the other Leonard Cohen album I listened to (Songs of Leonard Cohen), some sounds on here that didn't really work for me.

2.5/5. It wasn't bad, but it sure wasn't good. Is this what Nu Metal is? It was like metal with some rapping. Very interesting but by no means enjoyable.

I did not enjoy this, It just seemed too long and dragged on, not to mention the music did not appeal to me.

3.75/5. It was fine, too intense for me. I think as an album it is good, but I just do not enjoy this type of music, and that affects what I think of an album.

3.75/5. I liked this, some songs are better than others.

3.5/5. I liked this album, nothing really stuck out to me though.

It was fine, all the songs sounded similar. Was not the biggest fan of this.

One of the most well-known Jazz records for a reason. It's not my first listen, and it won't be my last. I have not listened to a lot of John Coltrane, but this is a great album.

Good stuff, enjoyed this. I would pick this up if I saw it at a record store.

Good stuff. Her voice is different, that's not a bad thing. Definitely need to revisit this one several times more.

3.75/5. Interesting stuff here. I liked the sounds on this album, and I liked the format. Pretty experimental.

Good stuff. I've seen this album around and never got around to listening to it. I enjoyed this, I would pick it up if I saw it at a record store.

It was fine, nothing stuck out to me.

Good stuff. I don't listen to metal, but this is some good music here. Pleasantly surprised.

3.75/5. I know Queen Latifah was in the naive tounges, so I was pretty confident I was going to like this album. Most songs on here were good, however, there were a few that did not work for me. 'The Pros' was very unenjoyable. Most songs fell right in line with the native tounges sounds, so I like most of the album.

Pleasantly surprised. It had relaxing sounds while not sounding boring, very good.

3.5/5. Good country rock, pretty average, but good. I've heard of The Flying Burrito Brothers before so it was good to listen to them.

Not bad but not good. Wierd is the best word I could use to describe this album. Read on Wikipedia that Zappa is the frontman of this group which makes sense. I could imagine this gets better with each listen.

Meh. Sounded like typical 80s pop stuff, not really my cup of tea. I think most of the songs sounded a bit stale.

3.5/5. Pretty decent, I would have to listen to it again to get a better judgment and thought about this one.

2.75/5. Gets old fast, and makes me think of the scene in 21 when Channing Tatum is having a happy trip and Jonah Hill is having a depressing trip. This album would be playing in the depressing trip. Some songs are decent, I just cannot listen to them back to back

3.75/5. I liked this, it has sounds of normal boring techno music, but they add something else to the songs that make it less repetitive and more enjoyable to listen to, although there are still some repetitive songs on the album. I am excited to listen to more of their stuff.

Good. I have heard of this artist and I have seen this album cover around. Glad I got to listen to it because I enjoyed it and it was good. The features were all good, along with the songs.

3.75/5. Enjoyable. I am always cautious of punk albums but this one was good. The songs were nice to listen to.

Good stuff. Definitely different, and that is why I like it. If I saw this at my record store I would pick it up.

It was alright, I definitely was not blown away by it, and I definitely won't listen to it again.

Annoying 80s new wave music, not enjoyable.

I liked this a lot, it was a good mix of folk and country. I have not listened to that much out of the genre so it was enjoyable. Would listen to it again.

The thing I don't understand about these types of albums is who actually enjoys listening to these? It just seems the artists are trying to make it weird, and not trying to make it good.

4.5/5. Very good. I expected nothing less. Not my favorite doors album, however. But that doesn't mean it's bad.

Classic and timeless. There’s a reason almost everyone like Sinatra. Listening to this makes me feel like I’m in New York City.

It was alright, kind of strange. I don't think I would listen to it again.

Only a few songs were on Spotify, but from what I heard I did not like it. Boring, annoying 80 RnB.

Not good, not enjoyable. The voice is really annoying and does not sound good. The instrumentals aren't even that great.

3.5/5. Pretty good and different. I liked the guitar on Memphis. I knew a few faces songs before but have never heard any off this album.

3.5/5. Pretty good, definitely a little out there. The singers voice was also a little out there, but that’s not a bad thing. The album art is also interesting.

It was fine, nothing really stuck out, however, I think on more listens I could like and appreciate it more.

It's alternative rock from the 90s, pretty average. I have no strong opinions about it.

Not a fan. Classic 80s music that I don't like aka new-wave.

This is great, just what I'd expect from Funkadelic.

Solid. Not as good as Electric Ladyland, but still very good.

Not good, bad, make it stop.

Good. I usually don't enjoy punk, but this album was very enjoyable. I also really like the album art.

No thank you, could not make it through half the songs.

Solid jazz, really enjoyable.

3.5/5. The more I listen to Leonard Cohen, the more I realize I have to be in a certain mood to really enjoy his music. I also realize that most of his songs sound similar. I don't know if I could tell the difference between two of his albums.

I liked it, good stuff. I've always heard of Peter Frampton but never listened. "Baby, I Love Your Way", along with a few other songs, were very familiar.

3.5/5. You know, it wasn't all that bad. I don't always like punk but this album was alright.

In the genre list on Wikipedia, it lists noise rock. And that it is. Just noise. This album sounds like the singer is crying over loud and annoying instrumentals.

This was one I was waiting for. Any song off of this album could be the best song on the album. I liked everything about it, although the last song was a little strange.

I liked this. Very different sounding and I was engaged the whole time. I would pick this up if I saw it at my record store.

3.5/5. Different and good. I like the instrumentals throughout the album.

Very enjoyable and easy listening. Nothing that stands out on this album, but solid all around.

Meh. Kinda boring

Good, classic. Who doesn't like the dead?

3.5/5. I liked it more than I thought I would, I would listen again.

It was fine, kinda of weird. I liked some songs, but then other just seemed repetitive.

Meh, it's not bad. Sounds like pretty generic early 2000's hip hop though, and it is a little boring.

Yes.

3.5/5. Good, unexpected. Usually, with this genre I feel it's hard to listen to, however, this album was rather enjoyable. 'Song 2' is definitly the most popular off this album.

It's jazz. And it's pretty good.

Not good. It just sounded like bad music.

This was alright. Prety easy listening. I felt like a few songs dragged on for a bit. The only song I knew off here was 'Walk Of Life', which everyone probably knows.

Meh. Wikipedia describes this as Folktronica, I guess I can see that. It's honestly pretty boring, but necessarily bad though.

It's ok. I found it a little boring and hard to listen to at some points.

Good. I liked all of it, "You're my best Friend" being my favorite. I don't enjoy this as much as I do their earlier works. Still solid, though.

3.5/5. I've never listened to a Buddy Holly album, but this is kind of what I expected. Easy listening, not bad.

3.5/5. I guess I don't really understand Tom Waits. I don't really like his voice, and I find it hard to listen to. I think I just need to get more adjusted to it. For me, that takes away from the music and makes it less enjoyable. I do think the songs on here do have great artistic value and I do appreciate it.

3.5/5. Pretty average. It’s good music, not much sticks out to me.

3.5/5. Surprised me, I liked it more than I thought I would.

I liked this. If was kind of like jazz, but not like jazz. Most of the songs were good.

4.5/5. Great album, enjoyed every song. I would definitely pick it up if I saw it at my record store.

This was ok. Some songs were good, others were not. Overall, it was average.

This is fine. It's a little too dated for me. I don't think this album aged very well, and the background singers get very old, repetitive, and annoying. The songs without the background vocals are pretty decent, however.

3.5/5. This was alright, nothing really stood out to me. I liked it, however, because I have not heard a lot of music like this.

3.5/5. Pretty good, better than average. I liked the general vibe of this album, 90s RnB. The track that I liked the most was 'Diggin' On You'.

One of my all-time favorites. Probably my favorite Zeppelin album.

Meh, not great. Pretty average noisy post-punk. Nothing really stood out to me.

Good stuff, very nice to listen to. Would pick it up if I saw it at my record store.

I don't really like Bruce Springsteen. I don't really like this album.

Not much here imo. Kind of just a generic post-punk alternative album. I think it starts off strong, but just doesn't keep it going for all of the album.

Eh, this is fine. Nothing bad or good about it.

No

Pretty average, honesty not what I really expected for Paul Simon. Easy listening for sure.

Really surprising. Loved this album and the instrumentals.

I'm just glad it's over. I did not like the lyrics or instrumentals. Could have been worse.

This was not good. Very boring. Every doing sounded very similar.

I didn't really like this. It sounds somewhat psych but not good, and more new-agey. The vocals were not enjoyable.

3.5/5. It's alright. I think it's pretty average. I liked the opening track. I never really understood people's obsession with Bob Dylan. I think he's a good songwriter and singer, but I don't see why people give him so much praise, maybe I'm missing something.

Very good. I liked this a lot.

Meh. It's Michael Jackson, but it's heavily influenced by the 80s. Some songs are great, others are not.

This was alright. More weird than good. My favorite song on this album was definitely 'I heard It Through The Grape Vine', however, I knew that before listening. That song was the reason I was excited for this album, and it was not that.

Pretty average, not very exciting.

3.5/5. I liked this. It reminded me a little of the early Beatles, but a little folky.

Good. Very enjoyable.

This was very good, I liked it. I knew a few of the songs off here. I would listen to this again.

Meh. It's not bad, it's just boring. The songs all sound the same.

Very good, possibly their best album. I know there is a lot of historical context with this album, and I believe that adds to it. It's a pretty political album.

3.75/5. Honestly, I expected more. This album was definitely more experimental than I thought it would have been. The sounds are definitely different and cool.

This album is alright, I guess average. It doesn't sound bad, I just feel like most of the songs sound similar and it goes on for 70 minutes.

This album is weird. It's like new age and rock, very strange. It makes me uncomfortable. Not very good, pretty average, and uninteresting.

3.5/5. This was pretty good, nothing really stuck out or blew me away. I like the vibe.

This was alright, kind of ambient, but I liked the sounds. The cover scared me a little.

BONGO BONG!! I liked this album, it was pretty enjoyable and easy to listen to.

2.5/5. Very monotone and boring. I feel like I didn’t really listen to anything.

Not good, could not listen, who the hell thinks this is good music.

Didn't really like this. Pretty boring and it just sounds very similar. Also very long.

Very good, I liked this a lot. Nina Simone never disappoints.

3.5/5. This album is pretty good and strange. It has a lot of energy. Paper Planes is by far the best (next is Jimmy). Some songs are also not good though.

Prety good pop. Not really my kind of music, but I can appreciate it.

I really enjoyed this album. It was very pleasant. I would pick it up if I saw it at my record store.

This is average. Kinda bland and boring, but also good.

3.5/5. This was alright, a little better than average. I thought most of the tracks sounded similar, however, they were good.

This was good. Easy listening. Sounded like most music from the 50s

I liked this. It's classic. I don't really have much else to say. If I saw this at my record store I would pick it up

I'm not impressed by this. It is really just not good. Just sounds like bad 80s music that's trying to be funky.

2.5/5. This album was strange. It is folky, but also a little 80s, which isn't the best combination. I liked some of the instrumentals, partially the violin in some of the songs. However, the vocals are off-putting and there is the occasional '80s sound' that I don't really like.

Stupid 10's music, that really is just straight bad. If I had to show someone what a bad album was, I would refer them to this. While it had some sub-par beats, the lyrics are some of the stupidest I've heard.

This is not really the type of music I enjoy. although it is not bad, I don't like it.

I liked this. It was very enjoyable, and I liked every song. Definitely pop, but there are small hints of psych.

Kind of strange, not the best. It sounds about average, and nothing really sticks out to me. It is a little different, but that doesn't make it great.

This was fine, not anything amazing

I was not really expecting to like this, but it was better than I thought. The cover was definitely offputting. I usually don't really like 80s/new wave, but this was alright.

Not bad, but pretty generic. I’ve said this before, but I feel like most albums from this time sounds the same.

From the half that I listened to (only half is on Spotify), I thought it was alright. I can definitely tell this was made in the 80s, but I liked it. I feel like this is more R&B than soul.

Pretty average soul. I liked it, I don't think it is anything special, however.

Really liked this. Nick drake is good. I would pick this up if I saw it at my record store.

I liked this. It was simple and nice. I don't really know Country, but I would like to call his Classic Country.

This was ok, I kind of expected more. It sounds pretty generic for the time it came out.

I didn't really like this. I just don't like how it sounds. I find it very hard to listen to.

Meh. Not bad, not amazing. Pretty average album IMO.

This was good. I did not reall expect this from Joni Mitchell.

3.5/5. This is some pretty enjoyable soft rock. It’s not particularly freak, but it’s also very easy to listen to.

I don't know what this is. What the hell is Glam Rock. It is so strange. It is like David Bowie + rock. I think it's fine, I just don't get it.

Boring sounding and generic. I don't think it's necessarily bad, I just don't think it's great. Like I said, boring and generic, it kind of all sounds the same.

3.5/5. This was alright, I would say average. I liked the live aspect of it. Jazz is always good.

4.5/5. This was a very good album. You can tell that he has a lot of musical talent from this album.

This is not good. What the hell is this? Do people actually find this enjoyable? It is like a worse Bruce Springsteen.

This album really did not age well. This was bad. I did not like this. I feel like all the songs sound the same and they all sound bad.

3.5/5. I was expecting more, but it was good. I like how unique this sounds.

Very good, very solid. Classic blues-rock. Free bird is the track I knew the most, however, I don't think it is the best off this album. Could easily be a 5, I just don't know how re-listenable it is.

It's a shame not all of this is streaming on Spotify because from what I heard, this was great. Really good funk-soul, I would pick it up if I saw it at my record store.

2.5/5. This was fine, kind of annoying if I'm being honest. I just don't really like the arty/glammy type of rock.

This is one of my favorite albums. Almost being 10 years old, it still holds up. By far one of the best albums of this century.

This was very enjoyable, I liked it a lot. It was a good day might be one of Ice Cube's most well-known songs, but I think any song on here is just as good. I also like how he addresses political topics.

3.5/5. Good. Not as good as Pieces of a Man, but certainly a solid album.

This was average. Nothing bad about it, but nothing outstanding about it either.

Not the biggest fan of this. Sounds kind of whiney. It's not necessarily bad, it's just not for me.

This was enjoyable. Although I did not understand what he was saying, I really liked this album. Some parts of this remind me of The Zombies' Oddesy and Oracle.

This is alright, nothing amazing. I liked the other Stooges album (self-titled) I listened to on this list.

This was good. I enjoyed it. Pretty straightforward rock.

This was alright, I'm not the biggest fan of it. The thing with most Punk bands is that you can tell that they have a lot of musical talent. However, most of the punk I've listened to is not very enjoyable. Maybe that's the point.

3.5/5. This is very different from most things I've heard. It's kind of punky and also kind of garage rocky. It's alright, not really my taste tho. Objectively, I think it is a good album, subjectively, not so much.

3.5/5. This was pretty good. It's not exactly what I like to listen to, but I can appreciate it. I think the last song is too long, however.

I liked this a lot. This is very funky.

3.5/5. This is a fun album. Makes me want to dance. It is a little repetitive, but other than that, very enjoyable.

This is just so boring. I do not like Bruce Springsteen. I do not like this album.

This was good, pretty straight forward in my opinion.

3.5/5. This is pretty good. I had no problem listening to it, however, most of the songs seem to repeat themselves. I think I would have enjoyed this more if it were a little shorter. That being said, by no means did I not like this. This album is more enjoyable than others on this list.

This was good, but it was also very long. Every song on here was of quality, however, with a runtime of 104 minutes, this album becomes somewhat of a hassle to listen to. My favorite track from this album was "Isn't She Lovely".

Not the biggest fan of this. I don't really like new wave, so I was not expecting to like this. Time After Time is one of the only songs that I enjoyed on here. The last song was abysmal.

This is fine, it's not bad but it's definitely not good.

I was very excited when I got this album. It seemed like something I would really enjoy. However, a few songs in, my excitement disappeared. There is just something about this album that doesn't hold up today. I think the instrumentals are good, but at times I feel the vocals are lacking or boring.

2.5/5. I did not really enjoy this. All the songs kind of sound the same, with the singer kind of yelling the same words over and over again.

This was weird, and I loved it. This music is very different from most things I have heard, and I really like it.

Amazing. I was blown away by how good this record was. This album has been on my list for a while, and I’m glad that I listened to it. Will be buying this if I see it at my record store.

This was alright, kinda felt like I was listening to a Pixar soundtrack. Overall it was kind of a boring listen.

Yes, this is it. This album has some true classics. This is quite the debut album for a group. I will say, not all songs are on the same level. I thought New York City Cops was the worst song on here, all others are great.

No thanks, not for me.

2.5/5. This was not enjoyable. All the songs sounded the same. Would not reccommend.

This was good, I enjoyed it. It did not blow me away, however.

A little loud and extreme for me.
