1001 Albums Summary

Always loved this record, and it seems to get better with age.

More enjoyable than I remember.

Too much Cuíca (monkey drum, honky wonky sound).

As good as I recall.

About the same as I remember: some cool stuff, but it doesn't really grab me...in fact turns me away a bit.

Lovely, as always.

A wonderful, powerful album.

You know, Hendrix.

Lots of good soul, including Papa Was a Rolling Stone

Besides a couple of the alternate versions of Impanema, it sounds like Ol' Blue Eyes was phoning it in.

Better than expected, but still a far cry from the first four albums.

A couple of my favorite Chicago songs on here, and a surprising amount of heavy guitar wanking.

Fun stuff, a few of the hits here. The other songs rather typical fare for the times.

Wonderful album as always.

I'm too old for this. Made it through about 3 songs. It was okay, just didn't really grab me.

A not bad record.

It has Mrs Robinson and Hazy Shade of Winter

Was totally not digging it at first, and not just because of the usual stupid hip hop clichés. By the end I had laughed a bit, but all in all I wasn't very impressed and don't get why some people think this record (or Kanye himself) is so great.

Epic.

Great album!

Despite the now subdued caterwauling, this is an enjoyable record.

Good but fatiguing at times

Classic.

Didn’t realize they did the original of that Pat Benatar song

Catchy disco. Meh.

Cool, but not really my bag, man.

Memories of early teenage years!

Classic.

Not bad but nowhere near his early stuff. Interesting first song.

Too much noodling for me, but some of it was like a groovy sixties dancing scene.

One my favs since I was a kid.

Really nice record

Good ol' Texas rock and roll

Great record!

Great and fun collection.

Some good stuff, but mostly I generally find them annoying.

Great collection of his songs!

Beautiful

Good and fun

Had forgotten how good it is.

Yeah it’s good but I can’t listen to her song for more than a minute or two.

Classic. Great songs and sounds.

Noisy but good

Enjoying this one more than I did before.

Interesting

Great soul record.

Funky and very much an influence on Prince.

Classic.

Good this

A classic. If it had been a single album it would get a 5.

Classic.

Some good tunes

I'm sure it's very good, but I can't handle those drum & bass style ra-ta-tat drums...gives me palpitations.

Mr. Soul and Broken Arrow...two of my favorite Neil Young songs. The rest is not bad. Bluebird is cool, so is Hung Upside Down, Rock n Roll Woman.

Reminds me somewhat of noisy Bowie/Eno with David Lowrey or somebody singing

Better than I remembered.

Lots of good sounds.

Interesting but not my bag

Really good. Cool vibe.

Contains some of my fav MJ songs

Chain of Fools! Really great record.

Great, of course

Have always loved this album

Sort of like Portishead but with a James Bond kinda feel. Not something I’d listen to a lot, but good. Mostly mellow.

Sometimes fun

Great album. Into My Arms is one of my favorites.

Very much loved this record. Voice like Bid...very much like Monochrome Set.

Dolphins!

Not a big fan, but it's not bad.

Okay

Great album!

Meh, not my cup o' nuts. Started off promisingly, but lost my interest quickly.

Too much screaming.

Not really my bag

Love this album

Some great tunes

Some good tunes

Anything by the Beatles is fab in my book.

Have listened many times before. Some great songs but also a bit of filler.

Great debut!

I had always written them off in the past, but most of this is quite enjoyable!

A typically good ABBA album

“Reward” has always been one of my favorite songs.

This is a fine record and everything, but almost everything else I've heard by then has been better.

Someone likes Freddie Mercury.

Done good stuff. Mr. Cab Driver.

Great and groundbreaking

Great record

Some classic songs

Good stuff, might like Electric Warrior as much or better?

Okay

Actually quite good. I like this guy’s vocals better than Rufus Wainwright, but not as much as Tim Booth’s, both of whom he sounds like.

Good record. Listened to the deluxe version tonight, and I really love the demo versions on it.

Sometimes enjoyable, sometimes tedious.

Pretty good. Vocals sounded a lot like Elvis Costello

Not quite as enjoyable as I remember, but still pretty good

Great record

Some of it’s really good but I get tired of it quickly. I remember it being that way.

Loved it!

This is a case where the Deluxe Edition is very tedious but the standard version is stellar. Great album!

Good but I like Pills n Thrills better

Good, but not quite as stellar as I had remembered.

Awesome

Wore out the grooves on this album as a kid and still remember most every note, though as I've grown older I think I'd prefer to have Machine Head on vinyl.

It’s good but for certain moods for me

Wonderful. One of my favorites of theirs, if not my favorite.

Classic.

It’s a good one but the first two of his stand out to me more.

Very pleasant.

Much better than I remembered.

Classic.

Not bad.

Love this album.

I love their long groovy jams!

Great album, but I like most any earlier one better I think.

One of my fav Neil Young records. Want on vinyl.

Good album.

Some good songs, lots of obnoxious noises.

Had this LP as a kid, so it holds a special spot.

I thought I’d need to be in the mood but I enjoyed it anyway

So great

Very surprised at all the love this got. There were a couple of moments when I thought I might like it, but mostly it was just one of those cases of watering down a world or ethnic music to appeal to Western sensibilities, which I find not only disgusting but abhorrent.

Like some of his stuff, but this one didn’t grab me after 3 songs.

I still like Soul Mining the best, but I do like this one better than that third one or Dusk.

Better than I remember, but still must be in the mood.

This is a great duo or whatever it is.

Actually pretty good.

Surprisingly tasty, and apparently recorded on his laptop!

Always a good band.

Mostly too typically 80’s sounding, but by the end I was digging it all right.

Fun, I’d forgotten how much

Don’t really enjoy listening to full albums of theirs... maybe a Greatest Hits would be nice.

Not as unpleasant as I feared.

Have loved it since it came out.

Not a huge fan but I do like this and a couple their other albums.

Really good!

This was the last Morrissey album I paid any attention to... and now I remember why.

A classic of course

Love the band

Only like their hits

Love.

I love all the NEU! albums (well, the first there anyway).

Listened to some of it, and it was very cool, but I was in a slower paced mood.

Better than I remembered

Super classic.

Currently my fav Marvin Gaye album

Well ol Bob Dylan certainly copped his style.

I want this on vinyl

Wonderful album

Great

Love the hits

Have some songs on a Spotify playlist

Had not heard all of these songs. Awesome and fun

At first listen it sounded like a baby lite Die Antwoord, but it was enjoyable.

Much better than I remember

Not really my style, but a classic anyway.

Good power pop but not my fav of theirs.

That first song was really kickin' but I grew bored as the album went on.

Better than I thought it'd be.

Meh.

Not really my bag, man.

Okay

Good dirty red-lined guitar rock.

I’ve never been a huge fan, but I do like some of these songs.

I don’t care for them

Some great songs here.

Wonderful album!!

You know, the seventies, synthesizers, blah blah blah.

Really great! Would love on vinyl!

I’m normally not a fan of Jack White as a human being, but this is as good as any of the White Stripes albums I’ve heard.

That's a killer rock & roll record!

Tasty!

Really good!

Always mostly liked this one

This is the Sonic that made me stop listening to The Cure. Not a bad record, just something (the production maybe?) wears me out or something.

True psychedelia!!

I liked some of it.

My fav Sabbath stuff.

Classic.

One of my fav bands, but not my fav record of theirs

It’s a good one.

Yeah but you know.

My favorite period of his but not my favorite album.

Love it and most all of their stuff

Like this much better note than I did years ago

Classic.

Great album, but i still love the Back to Basics stuff best.

Nice. All of John Phillips songs sound to me like the Brady Bunch would cover them.

Not bad, but not my favorite Rod record

Didn’t listen this go ‘round, but I remember looking some of it

Surprisingly good, wasn’t familiar. Kinda Stereolab-ish.

It’s a good one but I still don’t see the full Monochrome Set influence

Pretty sure this was the last Morrissey album I ever listened to, basically due to its lack of musical subtly.

Excellent

I always only liked some of their songs

Never really been a fan. But I like that Joe the Waiter song on the Tubeway Army record.

Produced by John Cale. Some good stuff.

I remember this one. Some of it’s okay.

Interesting and cool.

I mean yeah it’s okay, but there’s no subtlety or dynamics to the songs and, as KC said, they might as well be the Gin Blossoms or the Goo Goo Dolls.

Dad then open for Happy Mondays. Fun album.

Meh.

Sounds different from what I remember.

What a voice!

Seems typical.

Classic

Pretty good, must revisit.

Great album

Had some good tunes.

A classic.

Overly dramatic, but what a beautiful mess

Loved the first record. Tolerated the second record. Couldn't stand this one and never listened to anything else by them.

Some great stuff on here.

The Hits are fun

Excellent record

Surprisingly good for what it is. I remember playing this a lot at the record store and enjoying it despite it's blatant commerciality.

Some great stuff but too much cry baby screaming

Some really great stuff if you’re in the mood

Good

Occasionally enjoyable

Classic

Meh.

Not one of my favs of hers. Too AC maybe?

Love some of it

Great!

Good but not my fav of theirs

Not bad. Groovy at first then seemed to go back to trad Motown

A bit samey but really good

Okay but not my fav

Great album by a great band.

You know, Tom Waits. It's cool if I'm in the mood, but sometimes I like his earlier stuff better.

Classic.

Okay. The usual.

Fun

It wasn’t just scary music!

Classic.

Spacey

Some good stuff.

Like it for the first minute and a half, then meh.

It’s okay.

Good songs

Good stuff

Awesome.

Another classic.

For me it’s all about Chronicles as the albums had too much filler

Another classic

Have listened to before. Good b

Lots of fun

Some great stuff but those harmonies annoy sometimes

Well, it's The Boss...so, whatever.

Curious and fun.

Classic

Good but you know

You know, Radiohead. Whatever.

Great and curious

Sometimes I love this

Classic from high school

Not my fav of theirs

One of my all-time favs!

Great one

Good but not a huge fan

A good one but not my fav

Used to love this

Judging from the reviews here, I thought I might really dig this but it was pedestrian at best.

Listened to years ago. Not take my bag but some fun

Remember it and enjoyed it.

It’s good.

The last of their great ones?

Interesting I suppose. Had it on in the background...probably deserves a closer listen.

Great

Some really great songs, particularly of course Another Girl Another Planet

Love this album!

Hate to say it, but I love his hits more than his deep catalog of fairy shit.

Stellar

Meh.

Classic

Not very fun.

Okay

One of my favs

Great album!

Classic

A little too dramatic for me.

Good

Meh. Weller's solo stuff might as well be Eric Clapton without guitar show offs.

Interesting

Some good stuff

Meh.

Great artist

Good but not really my bag

Great album

Some really good tunes on here

Some good tunes, some typical 70's stuff

A classic from the teen years. Not so much now, but nostalgia.

Loved it when it came out

Well it’s a classic I suppose, and engrained in my memory.

Great record

A couple of my fav songs of theirs on here

Classic but I need to be in the mood

Probably my favorite of theirs

Some good tunes and some clunkers.

Not my fav of his.

Nice

Classic

Great album

Didn’t listen super closely, but it sounded like a million other things

A classic from my high school days

Classic.

Loved it in high school

Enjoyable

Excellent

Good

Good but not as good as Spirit of Eden

Okay

Great when I’m in the mood for it

Didn't listen this time, but I remember only really liking Alive and the song about Jeremy from past listens...

Not really my bag, though I remember listening to it a lot when it came out and I worked in the record store.

Great when I’m in the mood for it

A good one.

A good one, but didn’t hit me like it seems to do to everyone else.

A good one, but started fading after first several songs

Not really a fan, but I try to be.

Didn't enjoy it as much as some of his others.

Always enjoyed this one

Classic.

Everyone seems to love this one, but with the exception of a couple of songs to me it’s just a big pile of meandering shit, like The Band’s Last Waltz or something.

Well it’s Björk, so that’s always good for an adventure.

Classic.

Enjoyed it when I was young, then wasn’t too keen on it, but now I like it again.

All about the Björk and the music.

Not as big a fan as I probably should have been.

Surprisingly good record

Good record. Memories.

Really good record

Classic.

Liked even better than when it just came out.

Forgot all the great songs on this one.

Classic.

Classic. Love Syd.

It’s all right for a while.

Meh.

All right I suppose

Prefer Brain Salad Surgey

Good.

Pretty good

Yeah.

Yes!

Good but not my fav of theirs

Classic

Great band

I’m getting too old for this.

Okay I guess. A bit samey after a while.

A great album.

Great record.

Might be my favorite of hers.

Meh.

Not their best but still classic.

That Jeff Lynne sure does love to fill up the sonic space, doesn’t he?

Some great tunes here.

This album began the end of my love affair of New Order.

All right.

Okay.

The last of their great ones in my opinion.

One of their very best.

Another good one of theirs.

Surprisingly better than I expected.

One of my favs of his for sure.

Great songwriter!

Not the Ella I wanted.

Brilliant of course.

This album was a non-stop true joy for me at 12 years old, and still hits those spots.

Classic.

Really? Of all the Nick Cave albums?? Very sorry for his loss, but this may be my least favorite of his mightily impressive oeuvre.

Thought I was listening to Franz Ferdinand for a bit there.

Good one.

Not so much fun as it was in high school.

I like the bossa stuff, and this is a good one.

Love old Tom Waits stuff.

A great one.

Love it all.

Great album!

Great album!

Excellent.

Great debut.

Really good.

Great record.

Classic.

Pretty disappointed with most of this one. I have several bossa nova and samba records that I love - a few featuring Astrud - and thinks ranks with the worst of them.

Good album even in the mood.

Respectable but not something I’d listen to very much.

I’m up and down with them.

Used to really like this.

Really good

Classic.

Love the Kinks but has only heard Fancy and Sunny Afternoon from this one

Loved it in my younger days.

Kickin’

Good as I recalled

Good album.

Fun and chaotic as usual.

Great album.

One of their absolute best.

Good.

Classic.

Classic.

Classic.

Classic, but you know…SO tired of it.

Not too bad. Would’ve liked it more lo-fi.

Good, sometimes a little too Arcade Fire in their Springsteen mode.

Great and disjointed

Not what I was hoping for.

One of my favs.

An okay album, it almost made me like them again.

I don’t enjoy anything of theirs that came out after Document.

Great album.

Great album!
