1001 Albums Summary

Utterly shit. A couple of kinda not horrible songs but lame from beginning to end

Good one, but not to be shared, needs an alone immersion to be appreciated

Great, good album will listen again

Iconic, very playful and a fun recital overall

Stone cold classic

not as good as I remembered it but its a classic allright

Great recording, many latino great songs and themes, Cuba is in many ways linked to México and we’ve always loved the BVSC

A barrage of hits for the first half and great music overall, even if I get tired from Eddies voice after a while. a classic alright

nice surprise, many cool and familiar tracks

good but not my gig, don't like those synth arragements

not much to write home about, great instrumentals, novelty covers and thats kinda it.

cool record, it sounds limited in its production but it slaps

goodone, very nice record, the spanish track was a great find

industrial is very tiring couldn't finish it. too repetitive

can't believe this was the first time I actually heard it from start to finish, very solid mid part, kinda silly at times but a classic allright

What is it with this list and live albums? Were there not enough normal ones to add? Was not any of the other deep purple records deemed to be listed? It’s a nice recording tho.

Good one, swift and straight to the heart

good stuff, nice short listen and the extra tracks on that "deluxe version" are not bad either

good one, many hits in there

good allthough it drags a little

damn I hate those 80's synths... the album closes strong but the damage is done

not much to write home about, solid music

Good sounds not than much special

Never heard from start to finish, it’s a great album

One of the great recods of our time.

good one, short but good

not that even of an album but great overall with a couple of great hits

Impressive, good concept of many short straight to the point songs

stone cold classic.

Great one

Good one

tiresome

stone cold classic. Being this from the golden era of intenet bootleg I did not hear the real final mix until many years later, I still like some of those demos better than the final version but it is without a doubt one of the great record of my youth. now, 15 years later my favorite is A certain romance, it just has it all, it is the complete time stamp of those day. damn I love this record.

good one, straight to the point

good, not great

interesting

I was there when Dreaming of you became a hit, I thought they were good but had never fully heard this album until now, it’s quite good

Great one, never heard it in full until now

there are severall versions @ spotify so I hope I listened to the correct one, great recording but, agaim, what is it with this list and the live recordings? were there not enough albums?

Another contemporary classic. it kinda drags towards the end but its very good.

Been listening o it since the ninties, great album

Sweet dreams the song is a timeless classic, the rest of the album is not, it drags a lot and the spanish song is just shameful

good, repetitive but its ok

Good album, maybe has too much hype but it’s good

Very relaxing record good one

starts very good but it doesn't hold, has some cringey choruses

great one

very good, quite long but good

Quite a nice surprise, I’ve been hating all the 80’s records so far. Good one

Great, I’m getting now why the live albums

My favorite Beatles album

Dull and long

Good but like you get ir by the third track

meh

nice

Now I'm getting this whole including live albums list, this one is amazing.

Nice one, early Dylan has no waste

Very boring, the kind of stuff that did not age well

Not good

very long

good one, very rocksy, never heard it full before

Not as good as I expected but has some classics in

I definitely could have gone without hearing it before i die

Very good!

Great but kinda long

long and overstated but good overall

Meh

Great

Good one, long but it holds

Not bad

Meh

Good

Better than I remember

Quite uneven but good overall

Drags a little bit but its a stone cold classic.

shit. those damn 80's synths did not age well anywhere

meh, has its moment tho

Impressive!

has a lot of hype but its very meh

one of the great records of the 90's. excellent

Better than expected

Does not meet its hype

Good but it’s not Dummy

Not bat but also quite forgettable

Lame af

Looooong

Anooother live album

Good

Meh

Another meh

Was expecting worst given that it’s one of the lower rated here, it wasn’t that bad, it’s kinda dull tho

On of the great records of this century, from the moment it breaks the silence with tunnels to the dramatic and soulful ending, this is a complete triumph.

I like better some of the other stuff by Stewart

good one

Good but kinda dumb at various moments

good one, some great tunes and classics althoug the concept drags a little

good one

meh

top 5 greatest hip hop albums of all time. a classic

Good one. the first ever full album by Stevie I've ever heard, hope there are others on the list

A very good find, those strings do really belong there, even if the record drags a little it is outstanding

I've been a fan ever since I was little. Both my parents are huge fans so the you have it. When I found that Bobby Mcgee has her greatest hit couldn't believe it! then I found out that Janis had quite more than I believed. this is an awsome and gorgeous record. Cry baby always tears my heart. Thank you Janis for your work

Very rocky and out there, Bowie is always good

It is an outstanding album, those transitions are amazing and it reflects an outstanding work, having said that, it is not better than Pure Heroin, hope it is on this list as well

the instrumentation and production are impressive, but the concept is cringey AF

I just can't stand those 80's synths... this, as much of the decade stuff i've been hearing just did not age well

It started really good and it was a nice breathe of fresh air after yet another dreadful new/synth wave album (the 19th one!) but it started dragging after a while. i like the istruments and I think is good overall.

uneven but you just know that was the aim

impressive and beautiful

Amazing stuff

it has good moments but why is it so long? i think its overstated

I'm lacking the enviroment to enjoy this. Did not age well

Not bad but kind of irrelevant

this was great.

Closes real strong but its quite uneven and that car song is lame af

great one, fast and straight to the point. very enjoyable

great one, a load of hits and great album overall

its good but largely irrelevant

great album, Kanye could not miss the mark back then. 5 stars

cool one

cool one, straigth up full of hits

the third album I get that is currently on the top 20 of the generator. This is it people, the top tier, I mean, no one hates on Fleetwood Mac (I myself rated it 5) but Nirvana has had a lot of haters ever since they came out, so its high rate is even more impressive. Nevermind is an almost perfect album, I've been hearing it ever since it came out (I was 5 at the time) and I have always loved it. this is one for the generations.

quite enjoyable. good album

not (much) repetitive, not unnecessarily long songs... this is some metal I can get behind

cool record

not my favorite Elliot Smith record but damn is it good

a rather enjoyable record with some outstanding classics

very enjoyable. good one.

enjoyable but drags after a while, sounds like a made up band lol

Good start and interesting but drags at the end

Nice gig, still not getting this live albums being included on the list

never heard this one before. I'ts great even though its not full of hits as YCALWB.

enjoyable but quite forgettable

not as good as I remembered it, but has great moments

good but thats it

Some great tunes

funky but quite irrelevant

the poet during the 60's no much more to say

for many years I believed I was a Depeche Mode fan (i really like the hits) but I cannot stand any of their records for its whole length

my favorite U2 album, after this one all went downhill

4 outta 5 mainly because american Pie is an exceptional recording. the record on average is good but a bit dull

more 80's meh... at least it doesn't have those synths

wow that was meh as fuck.

nto as horrible as I remembered but it is a bit cringe and a big meh...

what?

this was really good, at some point I wondered if I was listening to the same record.

oh the 90's. this is from the golden era of MTV, this is a great album

fast and good, but I felt it was longer tham 33 minutes and its a bit claustrophobic at times

they let the music speak allright but for to much loooong...

I reallly love lovefool but its a rather average album

I once saw Blondie live, I thought It would be interesting but wasn't expecting to know most of the songs and for it to rock as hard as it did... this is a great and entretaining album that slaps

An incredilbe voice with identity and power... cruelly unwind by that horrible 80's production... the title song sucks and that guitar on steel claw sounds like a chihuahua in distress.

this slaps hard. good one!

not bad but kinda boring

Quite enjoyable. a bit long but i really liked it

This was quite irrelevant but! affer all those hideous 80's synths, I think it deserves a better rank just for being different.

great album, mixing is really good a dnit has many classics

This was a very very pleasant surprise, I dread now when I see an 80’s album in my daily draw but this was quite amazing, yea there are synths but not used in the common hideous way this list has me used to by now, I’m very glad I found this one. Favorite song: of all the things we’ve made

not bad, good mixing but repetitive at some point. I mean that song conversation is quite good for the fisrt couple of minutes but then it goes on the same for five additional ones. That cars song is a classic though (f*uck cars btw)

With some of these albums I really don't get the "must hear before you die". this was good but quite irrelevant

Good album, good concept and good rhymes... it closes a bit claustrophobic.

not much to write home about

enjoyable. don't know if I needed to listen to it before I die

not bad. some great songs

great voices, nice record, some cool songs and a timeless classic

A funny one lol

good one, I was fearing it a lot lol but it was nice.

great one although a little derivative from the WTC work, I mean, why a solo path that sounds almost like the group?. When I was young I wondered if they had not access to good recording studios but now I know that foggy sound is actually deliberated and I love it

a soft meh for me

like, the list name becomes completely pointless with this kind of albums...

It's now been almost two months since the last 5 I've given in the list. I've been bombarded with some very forgetful music since (not all of it of course) so I wasn't expecting much from this one but it has stopped me on my tracks. This is awesome music, I can't believe I've never listened to it. I mean, I know why, I was very into indie at the time of its release but after that I think I should have run into it but certainly didn't. What a shame. This takes heavily from Homework and YCALGB without being derivative. I think it should be a 4 but dammit, after all those dreadful records the algorithm has given me, it’s going off with a 5.

Great one, very diverse although it is a bit long.

nope. didn't need to listen to that before I die

I consider "...like clockwork" to be one of my formative albums and myself as a QOTSA fan but I had never listen to this one. Maybe I'm biased but this was excellent. strong and meaningful although that last track was confusing and uncomfortable with the headphones lol

music is not bad in some tracks but, god this is cringey as fuck!

I wanted to give an impartial listen to this one, I wanted to know if I know Dylan because my parents love him or because the music... I even read the generational warfare that are the reviews prior to the listen which make some good points but, caught myself humming and closing my eyes enjoying this gem. Even before I understood English language I loved Dylan. This to me, is another 5/5.

“All my little words” is an all-time favorite of mine, but, funnily enough, I was not aware it was from a 69 songs record lol... the album starts strong, some good tunes and interesting music but then it becomes more and more of the same and drags for literally hours. It changes a bit and grabs new strength starting the third record but falls again in nonsense and half backed songs. There are some good tunes but I wonder if it would have made the list if it had been a regular length record with the best say 12 songs and not just because it was a 69 songs long record.

A fine example of what is called Rhythm & Poetry. The production has a lot of the common places of the times but works exceedingly good. But is the message that carries this to other level, damn those lyrics are powerful. MC states everything he wants to say with carefully and in a most direct way. Makes me sad that the diagnosis this lyrics correctly carry has more than 20 years around and situation has only gotten worse. This, I needed to listen before I died.

With this one you clearly need context, the aim could not be so easy to get... there is one review that says its Pink Floyd meets Monty Python. I laughed hard with that. Although it’s true, to me it’s not that bad

Admittedly not all the time I put enough attention to these records, with this one I tried but to me seems quite irrelevant. Artistically speaking there is nothing to write home about but I guess they made a statement years ahead of their time, you go Replacements!

It’s not bad, it’s just so generic and irrelevant, can't believe this was trending back in 01' and I'm glad I missed it (on the other hand I was 13 at the time so it was all Nu metal for me lol). I'm reading this gave way to artists such as James Blunt and Ed Sheeran and well, someone owns us an apology.

good, great classic sound and totally enjoyable

Anther huge meh by this list...

very enjoyable and not as tiring as you would expect for 18 minute long songs

funky af, nice finding. that easier to love track is a delight (even thogh my apple music likes to act and cut some tracks)

Nice and influential as I have heard that sound in so many contemporary artists...

not bad, quite enjoyable but drags pretty soon and is quite irrelevant

I remember when this album came it was what everyone who was anyone was listening to. it was the bomb, a revolution in music and all that. The thing is, it's been 7 years and it did not age that well, it sounds repetitive and confusing just for the sake of it. Magdalene is a huge leap forward letting go the repetition for a more soulful but still ground breaking sound. This is a great album and an excellent debut but it will not remain on this list for long I believe.

great one, you can see he was on the path of greatness, the record is not as great as you would hear some people call it but we don't have a follow up to prove it so this is it. some parts are simply amazing

this was quite meh... i liked the other record by them better-

Well as in "they walked so the predecesors could fly" I understand the inclusion of this album on the list. the best in electronic music was yet to come in 77.

swift and straight to the heart. I like it although I think int not that relevant.

nice sound, and I catched some good moments but I'll be damned if I got to listen to 2 straight hours of country

Coming straight after a 2 hour album that I could not finish (that country one) comes this 3 hour long gem. Sadly I could not find the time to listen to it in one sit so I had to do it across three days but damn this is listenable, how great and full of amazing moments this is. At many points I found myself thinking "damn I need this on vinyl". It's all about the production, it’s all about the treatment and respect for the performer, Ella is outstanding and the producers let her flourish. Remember that Tina Turner record that with the hideous production? Well, they could have use listening to this to learn how to extol the performer. No need to say I really loved this one.

Always been a big fan of the band (at least up to American Idiot) and my first concert with no tutor was a Green Day one lol, funnily I did not attended to a second one until 15 years later. I did not give any relevant review to American Idiot (it reads only “Stone cold classic”) but I’ll try to say a bit more on this. I was 7 when this one came out but I remember it very fondly, I really liked the energy and the videos and my siblings loved them also so it was a whole family listen, ever since, we liked every subsequent album specially Nimrod. That all stopped with 21st century breakdown but we had a good go with the band. Listening to Dookie today I gotta say is not as good as I remembered but When I Come Around and specially Basket Case are true classics and the album was influential AF, it is a fun album with a lot of charisma and really one to have listened before dying.

Never heard this one before, I liked those rhythm changes and themes but it drags a bit

Great one, very solid recording, that production is just amazing!

A good Iggy album, an average Bowie album. Influential nevertheless

Not that catchy I gotta say. I guess they were trying something different but it’s not that amazing

Guess I’m not that familiar with “post rock” but what the fuck was that?

I did not like Iggy that much but this one is pretty solid!

Solid but very repetitive. apple music is still acting up.

Not my gig but not bad

I like the funky parts, the other not so much although I can overcome the cringe to respect the execution

Great one, I had never heard it though I was familiar with T Rex work, I like it, it sounds influential AF.

did not enjoy it a bit. lame from beggining to end

soulful and funky. good stuff

Amazing one, I enjoyed every song, this is some good stuff

its a bit dull at times but it is a great work. Lost Cause is a timeless classic even if it did not top the charts. it is the most convincing change of direction on their 8th album by any artist.

damn this one slaps! NY State of mind is a stone cold classic, I really like the mixing and that flow! again, damn!

What a delicious album this is, the talent, the music, the resistance. Her generation brought down apartheid on South Africa, from pariah to hero. She spoke she sung, hope more of her records are on the list.

I was about to discard this one, but I just needed some context, it's quite interesting and fun, glad I got to listen.

Is this one considered as Blur's best album? I've always been fond of many tracks of this one but I don't believe it is as good as everyone thinks, it drags quite a lot and gets boring at times, I personally prefer The Great Scape and 13 over this one.

Struggled a lot to finish this one, skipped within the tracks quite a bit and did not miss anything because in most of the tracks everything has been said by the second 40. Unbearable cringy at times, it fits a lot with so many of the records in the list that are there not for their artistic value but because they're weird. It grabs a second air with “In a Moment of Clarity” but soon sinks again in its repetitiveness and huge self-awareness.

Another meh... for future versions of the list they should look into other language records more than keeping fillers like this

Good abs interesting sound although a bit long, great behind story. I liked it

So today I found this is the third and not the first White Stripes album, I’m such q poser lol. It’s a good album with some good memories attached to it

mellow and quite enjoyable. good one!

What a delight this was, excelent.

Great recording.

Yup, influential as a library of audio tools

no, 80's just... no... again, dated, cheesy, unmemorable and all that

First of all, I’m not gonna act like I’m not going to give it a straight 5. I believe this is one of the great highlights of this century and a record for the generations, so there is that. Is this the best work by Ye? Arguable but there are at least another 4 records that are up for title. Is this my favorite Ye album? No, I have an emotional attach to The College Dropout for that matter. is this his last great work? NO, he kept it up for another 8 years. Is Donda a work as focused as this? No, to me he lost it after KSG. There is so much around this one that’s worth the mention, how this was Kanye’s redemption after the deplorable Taylor incident, the cringe in some of the lyrics, the effort in Pusha’s verse, the complete triumph of Nicki’s verse, the laughs we had with Jay Z’s one, the stupid but somehow guilty pleasure of the Chris skit, the memes, the samples, Fantano’s review, the aesthetics… It all shows how influential this was but the only reason for that is the music. Yes, Kanye is very limited singing and not as good MC as he thinks, but the production and innovation of this one goes really to new horizons, almost everyone is at their top game for this one and Ye really did come up with a cohesive and really impressive album. As I said one of the great recordings of our times. I’m always up for a toast for this one.

nice and funny at times, cringe at others... good listen

admittedly my first contact with Kraftwerk was when they opened for Radiohead back in 2009 here in México, prior than that I had zero idea who they were... the first thing that really struck me was that they did not seem to be the usual opener act, they were older and there was people who wanted to see Kraftwerk only and had paid full tickets for it even if they were going to be onstage only going to be for like 40 minutes. They did ok considering that everyone wanted Radiohead but the show to me was quite dull and those robots quite cringe (I really liked "das model" tho). After that I got curious about them, I went and downloaded their music and read about their influence, I downloaded some songs and read about their influence, I really wanted to like them and I even saw them once more in a festival for which they gave away 3D glasses. That concert was more fun (I was also quite drunk lol) but I never be like “oh let’s put on some Kraftwerk”. I guess I just had to be there 40 years ago to really enjoy them. Of course I hear the massive influence and I can see why all that reverence but to me they sound quite dated but more than that they sound very, very dorky.

I really like the sound of Primal Scream and Loaded is one of my favorite songs ever but this album drags during large periods

enjoyable but I'm guessing this is not their best is it?

not bad but quite forgetable at many moments

despite of being aware of the band since like forever and of course being a fan of Mr Blue Sky, I had never listened to this record, a very very nice surprice, I think I may buy it!

I had this one on CD back in the day, they were quite hot then and I remember they didn't shy to that rock& roll stardom position (at least Kapranos), I remember the Mercury price and how they were suposed to save rock & roll (same as the Strokes or Interpol a couple of years before). they had a couple of other fairly good records and then dissapeared (I think although I saw them live just in 2019). I had not listen to this one in ages, it is quite good an a good print of its time, I think I should buy its vinyl

Nice. It got interesting after like 5 songs but it did not disappoint

Great one, a nice surprise. I found this one totally familiar but don’t think I’ve ever heard it in its totality before

I wasn’t expecting nothing with this one, 2008 was about something else for me, and also I don’t like the title lol, but it’s a gorgeous record and I liked a lot, I’m sad to see I missed so much Mack in my youth but also glad I keep founding this gems

It doesn’t start that bad and props for being different in the era of horrible music but it just drags a lot.

Fels longer than the half hour it is. It does have its moments but it actually is only “the album from were is my mind is taken” and that’s it. Pixies are not as good as everyone thinks even if they have some of the greatest rock songs ever

Lol this is just so forgettable and meh…

Fast and hard af… did anyone read that “black supremacy” review? Bruh you write quite well but quite inputting that boomer frustration energy in here

After the yearlong "end of the century" content from MTV, the nostalgia was there for another full year and along came "last nite" whose video exploited a nostalgia that we were actually too young to remember that of which it was a remembrance of. The rest is history as Is This It came to change the landscape of popular music in a more successful way than Kid A if not a longer one. Now 20 years after all of that I could say that the album is not as good as everyone thought it was, it actually drags I a couple of long moments, and it does not hold to the end after achieving its highest highs, maybe it could even be said that Room On Fire is more consistent even if not as soulful as this one. but what can be said against such perfect songs as Someday or Last Nite? I could try to give it a 2 or a 3 but the truth is that I’m still that 14 year old singing “when we was young oh man did we have fun” with all the honesty of the one who was never younger and did never became so again. To me, the jewel of the crown is Hard to Explain which is one of the most perfect songs I’ve ever heard, I still stop and surrender to it every time I hear it, and consider myself so lucky to have heard it live a couple of times. Hard To Explain is the reason why I’m giving this one a 5.

fun one without pretentions, this list has made me more fond of the stooges

I couldn't say why but I've never been very fond of the Stones albums, maybe because my parents had only compilations or maybe because I wanted to be a Sgt. Pepper over there somewhere lol... I don't think I've ever listened to this one in full before, and not all the songs I'm familiar with. I can recognize the effort and quality but I got tired after a while. This is the first Stones album I've got from the list so lets hope it only gets better

I love the sound of CCR, never heard this one before but I enjoyed it and Proud Mary is a song for the ages

I was starting work for the day so I mindlessly clicked for my next album and pressed play, I half noticed the 2010 tag on Spotify and was like “this is anachronistic af” lol, I’m familiar with the early hip hop creators and of course I know about Grandmaster Flash so I find this quite interesting. Having said that, this carries its time stamp very heavily, and it’s a bit cringe by today’s standards (I mean, can’t imaging those 6 minutes about how they love Stevie not making mister Wonder very uncomfortable lol). but we have to recognize that this was groundbreaking and the quality of Flash’s art. Am I going to give it a 3 mainly for The Message (song) yes I am.

fast and punky. I liked it even if I prefer more famous versions of some of the songs.

Meh… I can’t really connect with 80’s synth music, I know it was a revolution and all that but all of it feels very dated. This one was no exception. Has its moments tho

I like it, good mix not flat at all, excellent sampling and god themes.

Some good tunes but tiring after a while, specially due that weirdly emphatic singing style

Nice vocals, excellent time stamp, and some all time classics in there

Nice one

I may like this one better than Thriller.

Oh yes, instrument-jerking, huge self awareness and cringe, how can anyone not like trash metal? At least the songs are not ridiculously long Cool mix tho

Dated sound but relevant af and very skilled.

Fun one. Although I would listen unironically

I really like this band, can’t believe I’ve never heard about them before

Another one that hits hard! I’m reading they lost their demos prior to this, but the sound is more organic and better produced than on their previous albums. Upon completing this list, I’m discovering I don’t like synths as much as everyone does, I prefer samples and live instruments

Interesting, nice mix of genres and good production but boring

No, I don’t enjoy this music, it’s self conscious and cringey. All this world music sound like black faceing to me (I’m Mexican). Of course this has connection to that other cringe fountain PiL.

Good one, this punk organic sound is a bless after all those synths on this list lol. I’ve never heard this one in full although I’ve liked Come Out and Play & Self Steem ever since I was a kid. Nice to hear the evolution that took them to Americana. (Also, nice that the hidden song is the same one)

Not my jam but I can appreciate the quality

Enjoyable

Quality record. 3 stars and a additional one for Free bird

It was a total meh for most of the time and then came the cringe with that witch song… she sings ok

Very smooth indeed and enjoyable. The sac was in trend back then and it shows, but here it’s used in a nice not so much overused way

Amazing record, those live track are huge and this is the record that has Sumertimw in it. As great of a record as Pearl

This is wild alright! Also rich and engaging, I just ordered the vinyl.

When I was about 7 there was this hit song on MTV called “Always”, me and my siblings liked it so much my parents bought us the CD (cross road) and we became obsessed with it. It wasn’t until many years later that I learned it was a compilation and that most of the songs were from before I was born lol. I had never listened to this album in full before but the hits I’m very familiar with and bring me back to my childhood even if the teems are not for kids. Even if glam metal is not my jam I have a soft spot for this one and I also praise the like instruments as opposed of the synth infested 80’s albums on this list

So I found yesterday that the list has been updated and it actually is a bit longer than 1001, cool, we’ll be here for a bit longer! Now the album: Lana keeps on pushing forward with her music if not her themes, her singing is more variable even if this album in particular is a bit monotonous. It is a beautiful recording although my favorite one by her is the more vivid Lust For Life. Now how can an album that was published only 6 months ago be on the list? Don’t get me wrong I loved the record but it has to make an impact! I could argue that Ultraviolence or NFR! Are better, or even Lust for Life just because it is my favorite. This album is here because the impact of Lana in modern music and could easily leave the list in future editions, I wished the curation of the list would be less reactive and more thoughtful, this is not the (only) Lana album you have to listen before dying. Hope the list now includes albums that have been left out since previous editions and not only new ones from 2018 to now (for example: Like Clokcwork by QotSA)

Nice

Very insightful and meditative, great minimalistic sound. Good inclusion for 2019. Already 2 albums from last update!

Another token album for this US-centric list, how man versions of “so Nice” are on the list?

I like the flaming lips and I like the concept, this one is not as good as YBTPR

Haven’t heard it in full for a while, not as good as I remembered it but it is a classic alright, another one from the golden era of MTV, remember the videos it came with? My good did they went the extra mile for that, back then hit records needed hit videoclips and californication was a superb example of that, cinematic Impressionism in Scar Tissue, concept video with otherside and of course, state of the art technological advance show off with Californication, me and my siblings would spend hours looking a those clips and even downloading them from the internet, good times. Now the record: it’s maybe too long and tries to keep the funk from BSSM even though they were in a completely different place by then, some songs are just too out of the concept even if they sound Peppers AF, the word californication sound just silly nowadays but let’s remember that this is the album that gave us Scar tissue and Road trippin which are both classics for the ages.

Seems like another token album for the list good music but I wonder how this differs from the rest of the catalog of the seemly quite prolific artist

How many 5 will I end up giving Dylan on this list! Damn his records just go straight to my heart. Don’t know why none of his records are in the top of this site. I know this songs were written and recorded more than 20 years prior to my birth, but I just hope I get the time to grow old with them and pass the time listening to my vinyls in a sun full room.

Wasn’t exited by this one at all, another live metal album. But this one goes hard and is not cringe at all. I really enjoyed it.

Was a bit hesitant about rating it a 5, I mean, it’s not my favorite Bowie but good damn it is a stone cold classic!

Delicious. Who has pieces like Not Dark Yet or Make You Feel My Love that far in their careers? Dylan, that’s who.

The one live album on the top 15, the performance we saw again and again for months (and then years and decades) after that fateful April day back in 94, the one from which the most iconic pictures of Cobain are from (google his name and see for yourself), the sui generis MTV unplugged full of covers as they decided it would be a disservice to play an acoustic version of their hits and by doing so making it the greatest of all, the one MTV entrance of this list I might say! the icon, the moment in history, the otherwise impossible tribute/eclipse of Bowie, Lead Belly’s come back from the dead. All that and so much more… as an album it should be disqualified from the list but of course no one should die without listening. I was 7 the first time I SAW this and still give me the chills, I loved it before I ever understood English, I was of course one of the ignorant kids Bowie would later dismiss for not knowing the author of TMWSTW, actually the first song I ever downloaded from Napster I shit you not! After that I have had the opportunity to compare that hyper compressed mp3 file that took ages to download to the tv version and later to the vinyl and lossless versions… damn the mixing is amazing! I would pay to see a restored version of the concert with the album mixed audio. I nag all the time about the US-centrism of this list and how it is full of live albums but how can this one not be a 5?

I have three 5s in the last 5 days, so I guess I was I my zone and this one took me out of it. For it it was boring and couldn’t listen to it in only one sit

good old days. nice sounds and good effort by the house french school

A bit weird but enjoyable overall.

Growing up, I always heard about The King, and how he is adored by even the greatest names in music but somehow his music was alien to me, or at least I always thought so. It’s not an album as we would later be used to but damn is this great!

I remember vaguely this time, my older sister and my youngest aunt use to be heavily into grunge (is this grunge? Is this metal?) and I did not liked it that much (I was 6 tho). I like it now better but I get tired of it quickly

Big meh for me. I mean, as everyone in my generation I was into by metal at the time but I distrust anyone who did not get bored of this by 2003. Nice drums tho

Nice but nothing to write home about

I do enjoy the occasional Prince music but not sure about full albums. It’s the 80’s sound which my soul just can’t bear lol

I have this one on vinyl. Like a prayer is one recording for the ages. That production is just amazing, those choruses, those instrumentals I mean damn! And then there is the rest of the album that is just filler for that one track.

I’ve always liked Girls Just Wanna Have Fun but wasn’t expecting a good album. Glad I was wrong, this is an unapologetic 80’s sound but fun AF and very interesting. I recognized many of the tracks too. I like it.

Wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did, it’s very long but it’s versatility makes it easy to hear. The second half is harder but good nevertheless

A lot of covers and that birds appearing song all in good production and good voices, it’s not all that relevant but what’s not to like?

Kinda Interesting but annoying AF. That first track has a sound like a cellphone vibrating. Feels so much longer than 35 minutes.

The Beach Boys can get boring very quickly, can’t relate to this one very much

Good

Couldn’t really get into it, the beats are boring at some point. I see the influence in triphop and all that, also the good lyrics but will not be listening to it again

It’s uneven, we know it was intentional but it’s uneven. The top tracks are superb tho.

Forgettable

I can respect the quality, the genius, the intent… but this is cheesy af. I guess it was very rebellious back then but no 80’s sound aged very well

great voice, lame cheessy production.

I love many of the tunes, the jazzy vibe of this one is great, I remember all the fuzz and all the respect Kendrick got with this one, but to me this one is a too long, I don’t care that much about the snippets and I get it, they was conflicted lol. Funny thing is that to me GKMC is his master pieces and that one is long and all that. It’s a 4/5 to me. Is that a Radiohead sample in How Much A Dollar Cost?

Good one. Enjoyable

Starts very hard! It sound very influential, like those NY Dolls, good one although it felt much longer than 40 minutes

Nice sound. The title track is missing from Spotify and Apple Music. It got a bit long at the end

Reading the Wiki page it would seem we are facing the greatest record ever!. It is a good record tho, I don't know why I had never listen to it but it is good. it is a bit long and some tracks are weird but I liked how strong it starts and how it does not stays the same for its whole lenght

That was fast n hard, loved it

Good damn!

Fast and straight to the point, I like this Iggy better I think

Someone had this when I was a child, I'm guessing a cousin, but I would have to ask, I remember hearing it from start to finish and actually enjoying it. I preffer this loud clear mixing than the lame all at the same volume from the 80's. I really like "all I wanna do"

Jazzy, funky and greatly produced. Worldwide stardom was still awaiting for Jamiroquai but they were already up with a good start.

Nice. quite enjoyable

O was there when this was trending, I remember and like many of these songs but 24 years later I just don’t get any joy from this… I heard once that metal (in its many forms) is a teenage phase, and that men who don’t grow out of it don’t grow out of teenage either, maybe it’s true

Damn, I’m not familiar with this kind of music except for the parody usage we are used to by now… to me sounds dated AF even if I can recognize the talent and creativity. Couldn’t finish it. Not my jam.

Damn bars where hard af back in the beginning of the century. Most of the album slaps even tho that Bey track is cringe af

I mean it’s not bad but to me it was a bit boring, sorry about this one

Inventive, original, but long and a bit boring

Fast and fun although it is monotonous and ends up feeling longer than just half an hour

Not my cup of tea, there is quality but it feels quite long. Favorite song: the rat one. One star less because organ solos are silly af.

Nice one, I really like trip hop, this is just as good as massive Attack

Nice sound even if christmas music is not my favorite. very influential sound indeed

God damn! That was great! I’m familiar with most of the songs but I don’t think I had ever listened to this from start to finish. I love it.

I know some of the songs and of course I’ve seen the sleeve many times but I don’t know why I had never heard this one in complete before. I loved it

It started a bit silly with those noises one makes when being in front of a synthesizer but then came the great stuff. Good album

Damn this record just don’t stop growing! Good find.

I have tried to get into this album many many times, I mean, it is the album that put the Beatles into SPLHCB way and one of the greatest songs and all that but I just can’t, it’s kinda silly to me, I love wouldn’t it be nice but I’m not very fond of the rest of the record, sounds very dated and yeah, silly to me. Really sorry about this one.

Quality and enjoyable

It grew on me, it closes amazingly, wasn’t expecting Sing A song For You, but I’ve loved that song ever since I was a bootleg downloading teenager.

Another classic and iconic performance by Cash.

“Get a drink! Have good time now! Welcome to paradise!” Since I left you is one of my favorite songs of all time, but I don’t think I listened to this in full until like 2010 or something and to my surprise, I had hear many of those tunes in clubs and parties. It’s quite a trip, the kind of sounds you would expect to hear at a rave a the time, not as cheerful as the title track but a great collection nevertheless. A bit tiresome nowadays but it was banging back in the day

I’ve, very chill and enjoyable, I like the production very much

Classy but I got bored before the end

Nice

Nice punk album, was a bit worried because Spotify’s version has like 30 songs but it was a relief to see there were only 6 tracks

So this is what I’ve been missing out all this years… quite forgettable

On the good side the execution and recording is great and rich, on the bad side this is cheesy af

Damn! Zeppelin was always fire uh?!

Too long and uneventful

Inma sucker for that Irish sound

Fun but tiring. Sounds quite influential

Another triumph by Kanye lol… great album, very start of the century, Jay Z really was the best rapper alive back then

Had to restart it like 3 times so I was loosing hope but this is really good. This is the kind of 80’s production that is worth the listen, very little synths and shit, i like that killing moon very much

A bit boring but has its moments

I was very into gangsta rap back in the day but this time around this sounds tiring, I mean I like it but why more than an hour long?

Not my favorite Primal Scream record but this is good. Maaaaybr a bit tiring

Has some great funky moments but for most of it is quite “meh”

I remember listening to this back when I was in my twenties and not liking it at all. After that I kept away from Björk’s work so I want expecting to like it but to my surprise this is very good! Only didn’t like that plane song which is kinda cringe but it’s a great work overall
