1001 Albums Summary

The first song, The Headmaster Ritual, was very, very good. Rest of album's alright. 5/10

Very folky. Not really my thing. 2/10.

Old Man is the best song and there's more rock in the album than I was expecting. 4/10.

Crazy disappointing album. Half the thing is basically crappy instrumentals and the other has lyrics but whenever there are lyrics you can't even hear them. Was looking forward to this one too... 1/10.

This is just weird. Not good at all. 1/10

Forgettable album. Bad singing from Solomon Burke to his backup singers. 1/10.

Groovy and sounds African-Jazzy. Last song was great. 5/10.

Not bad. Protest rock it seems. 4/10.

Seven Nation Army is on the album. Mostly alright though I never cared for Jack White. 5/10.

Let's be real: the reason this was on the list is because it pioneered the ensuing electronic music movement. This isn't very good except for "Cars," which is the most known song. Bad singing and annoying repetition across every song. 2/10

Classic country with a classic country voice. Short album. 4/10.

Crazy punk music. 4/10

Not bad it's like the UK style band type music. 6/10.

Fire & Rain on this album. Easy listening album. 6/10.

Atlantic City is the best song on the album. Very artsy album - no rock - all lyrics and guitar/harmonica. 7/10.

Just mindless singing (and it's not even good singing) but mostly jamming. Has early electric piano. All songs blend from one into another so who can tell anything apart. 1/10.

Doo-wop sounding and Mockingbird is in this lol. Good singing but not my thing. 3/10.

Bad Company was the best song on the album, Bad Company by the band, Bad Company. Just seems like generic rock music. 5/10.

Mostly good and second half is like one long song across multiple tracks. 7/10.

It's literally just ambient music. Sounds like it could be part of a movie as background music during a dramatic scene or explanation of something at best. 2/10.

Horrible. Skipped all throughout. Would give 0 stars if I could. Worst album yet. 1/10.

More 80s sound but he doesn't do a great deal of singing. It's more like speaking into the mic. 3/10.

Pioneering Rock n Roll. Not my thing but popular songs on album (Tutti Frutti; Long Tall Sally.) 5/10.

Garbage. Just shitty electronic music like this is the 70s. No music, just random sounds. Imagine paying for this. 1/10.

More electronic garbage. 1/10.

Alternative; not bad. Been Caught Stealing was the best song on the album. 6/10.

Do it again was the best song on the album + most familiar. Dirty Work is what Tony sings in that scene of the Sopranos. Reeling in the Years also very popular for classic rock. Whole album is soft rock. 7/10.

Smooth AF album all throughout. 8/10

Great album and lots of known songs & didn't know it was this old. Came out in '75. 9/10.

Easy listening folky 90s tunes. I remembered Babylon from movies. Most played song on the album has like 162m listens at the time of writing and it's not even that good. 6/10.

90s punk. Pretty good; I never really cared for The Offspring but this album is better than I expected. Couple familiar songs on this album (Come Out and Play, Self Esteem). 8/10.

Some familiar songs on this Fever, which is has been covered by other artists. Has a bit of old, classic country but mostly typical 50's music. Didn't realize how good Elvis' voice actually is all throughout. 6/10.

Bunch of popular songs on here. They're good and I like their catalog but just in general it's just constant screaming and the songs often sound the same. 8/10.

Old heavy metal. It's alright. Short album with one long song at the end. 6/10.

Kind of disappointing album. Lots of blues across many songs but seems generic rock across the album. 4/10.

Classic Beach Boys/60s sounds. God Only Knows and Wouldn't It be Nice are the best tracks on the album. 6/10.

Lots of soul and funk. 5/10.

Just typical Trent Reznor/NIN music. Never my thing. Closer was the best song on this. Hurt was also on this. 3/10.

This is straight up Senegalese music. Lots of percussion/African band sound. 4/10.

Live album with an orchestra backing them up. They sound pretty good but some of the songs of the album (if not all) are from other albums so it's not a new song album. 6/10.

Not as good as Meat is Murder but alright so far. Some songs have more of a typical 80s vibe. 6/10.

Classic Sinatra. "You make me feel so young" is the best song. 8/10.

Old ska sounds. Not that great. 3/10.

This isn't really all that good. Just dark and everything sounds the same. 3/10.

Fast Car was the most popular song on this album. The rest is alright. Easy listening. 6/10.

Faith is the most popular song on this album by far in terms of plays but Father Figure is very good and probably the best song on this album. 8/10.

Mrs. Robinson is on this. Folky and easy to listen to. 6/10.

Really great album though starts off excellent but then the rest of the songs aren't eye popping except for the last song, A Day in the Life. 9/10.

Straight up garbage. Experimental electronic/rock. One of the worst if not the worst. 1/10.

Pretty good all around. I didn't know that Walk of Life was theirs. 8/10.

First song, "Connect", is not bad. "Step it Up" is also good. Acid jazz/hip hop kind of sound. 5/10.

The whole album is Willie doing a cover of his favorite songs. Excellent country voice. 8/10.

Excellent album. Bunch of known songs. 10/10

It's ok, just not my thing. 5/10.

Lighthearted early 90s rap but explicit. It's not bad at all. Passin' Me By is the most popular song by far. 6/10.

This is a long album of group rapping that isn't particularly good. 3/10.

Meh - Lou isn't even singing. He's speaking along with the music. 3/10.

"We've only just begun" and "(They long to be) close to you" are by far the most popular songs. Super soft album. 6/10.

What a snooze. Just generic singing. 2/10.

It's alright - it's surprisingly more country than I was expecting. 6/10.

Just generic Scottish pop rock. 5/10.

Just generic English pop rock. "Angels" is familiar, haven't heard it in years. 5/10.

More gerneric British alt rock. 4/10.

Absolute garbage. 1/10. Horrible singing, trash songs.

Bittersweet symphony is most known track. It's not bad, just not my thing. 6/10.

Classic 50s Cuban music with some afro vibes. 4/10.

Early punk music. It's alright, not that great. Song with most plays was a cover. 5/10.

I didn't know Lou Reed was the lead singer. It's alright - almost like rock folk music. 6/10.

'60's Psychedelic rock - not really my thing at all. 2/10.

Not a bad live album. 6/10.

Just mindless playing an inaudible lyrics. Horrible. Great band name tho. 1/10.

Great album for the time period. 7/10.

Classic 80's type music. "relax" by far the most popular song on the album and didn't know it was by them - thought it was Duran Duran. Lots of electronica and a few covers. 6/10.

Take It Easy is the most popular song on this album but Peaceful Easy Feeling is notable too. Not a bad album, just easy going, typical of Eagles. 8/10.

Sounds like British 2000s rock. Just bland and boring and hard to listen to. Totally forgettable. 1/10.

Just a forgettable album, nothing really special about it. 3/10.

Like ice picks in my ears. Big yikes all throughout. 1/10.

"Lovesong" is on this and I had no idea this was the original compared to the cover by 311. "Pictures Of You" was great. Good album all around. 8/10.

It's a nice album but Nina's work isn't really my thing. She's talented. 5/10.

Remarkably bad. 1/10.

Just artsy electronic music that's not really good. 1/10.

Just boring ambient sounds. 2/10.

The opening song on the album is the theme to The Exorcist lol. The rest is just random music. 2/10.

Beautiful album all throughout. Excellent voice and songs. 9/10.

Really gritty album but great. Love Ice Cube. 7/10.

Without You is the most notable song on the album alongside Coconut & Jump Into the Fire. Not a bad album and was pleasantly surprised as it progressed. Easy to listen to and it goes quick. Really solid 7/10.

Classic 70s punk music. It's alright. 4/10.

Bang a Gong the most notable song. Nice album, T Rex just isn't my thing because it sounds like generic 70s rock. 6/10.

Not a bad album. "Changes" is the best song on the album and it's great. 6/10.

Bluesy punk music. Not really my thing. 4/10.

"Respect" opens the album - a classic. "Drown in my own tears" (Ray Charles) and "A Change is Gonna Come" covers are great too. So many great songs - very underrated. 9/10.

"Layla" the most known and best song on the album. Bluesy/Eric Clapton type music. 5/10.

Easy listening typical Randy Newman. Not really my thing but was nice though almost every song sounds the same. Quick album to get through. 5/10.

I never really got Depeche Mode. Just weird singing but I understand how they helped pioneer electronic music. 4/10.

Sounds like generic British pop rock. Bland all around. 2/10.

Folk is just so very boring. Senseless talking over guitars 1/10.

Honkytonk classic country. Not my thing. 3/10.

"Papa was a Rolling Stone" is the most known song on album but otherwise underwhelming. Classic Motown music but didn't really care for it. 3/10.

Just alot of experimental music it sounds like. Don't really care for it. 2/10.

Just laughably bad. Shreiking voice, mediocre playing. 2/10.

Very fun African jazz - great listen and surprised there weren't more listens on Spotify. 7/10.

Classic Brazilian music - I generally like the genre and this was alright. 6/10.

Just plain bad. Weird singing and background music. 1/10.

Midnight In a Perfect World is probably the best song on the album. Like a rock/rap remix kind of instrumental album. Was alright, nothing crazy. 5/10.

Roundabout is the best song and most played by far on the album. Incredible bassline. The rest of the songs were almost like experimental jams - some good and some not so much. South Side of the Sky was the second best on the album. 6/10.

Just an all-around forgettable album. Mediocre singing. 3/10.

This is either pirate music or Irish pub music (what's the difference?). Hard to listen to in a normal setting - probably need to get loaded to hear it and enjoy it. 2/10.

This is the second Tom Waits album I've had the misfortune of listening to. 0 stars if I could. 1/10.

Classic live rock but it's not really my thing. 4/10.

Not sure I really care for this album. Nice music but it reminds me of music they used to play at the super market while you shop. 5/10.

Don't really understand Bjork's music - just experimental, really weird stuff. And no, she does not have a great voice, she's just the artsy chick in class that paints and is into horses. 3/10.

"Wild Word" by far the best and most popular song. Rest of the album is alright - nothing crazy. 6/10.

This kind of reminds of department store music. Not really my thing and the singer kind of sounds like a poor man's Nina Simone. 4/10.

Surprisingly great album and think it's strong all around. In the Ghetto and Suspicious Minds are most popular song but others are great too. 9/10.

Not a bad album. "What's Love Got to Do with it" is the most popular song by far. Rest is alright. 6/10.

Kind of sounds like weird 90s rock music. Either way - it's bad. Just almost grungy with bad singing and playing. 2/10.

Just a boring album and the singing is way overrated. 4/10.

Dolly's nice and old but I can't get into this classic country. 4/10.

I get it's pioneering but these seem more like experimental recordings over something you'd want to listen to just to listen to. 2/10.

"It Was a Good Day" obviously the best song on the album but the rest was pretty typical aggressive Ice Cube. Lots of social injustice all throughout the album. 7/10.

A really forgettable rock album - nothing really much else to say. 3/10.

It was enjoyable - not bad but not great. Seemed like middle-of-the-road kind of album. 6/10.

Excellent early Michael before he really hit his stride. 9/10.

Very funky, "That Lady" is familiar and heard it in some movies. Rest of album is alright. 6/10.

Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are by far the best/most popular songs on the album but the other songs are alright. 7/10.

Alexander Spence has to be the luckiest man to ever live for two reasons: 1) He stumbled across someone that thought his music was worth a record deal and 2) this album slipped through the cracks when someone was making the list of 1001 greatest albums. 1/10.

Pioneering 50s rock music. It's alright, all music from this era sounds pretty much the same. 6/10

Eh It's ok. Don't really care for this though they sound great on the album. Not my cup of tea. 6/10.

I like Jazz but this was too off the wall. 3/10.

80s honky tonk country that I don't really care for. 4/10.

I mean I guess that Brian's a pioneer for electronic music and all but his stuff is just always weird. At least this album was better than Music For Airports. 3/10.

I thought it was a solid live album - BB sounded great. 7/10.

"Life on Mars?" is my favorite Bowie song. Easy album to listen to. Don't go crazy with David Bowie but I thought it was a solid album all throughout. 8/10.

I will never understand her music. Just utter garbage. Remember: Just because someone tries really hard at their craft doesn't mean its good. 1/10.

"Once in a Lifetime" by far the most popular but the rest of the album is alright. It generally all sounds the same. 6/10.

Really soulful album. So in Love is the best song on the album. 7/10.

Great sounding live album, considering it's from 1964 JLL sounds great, as does the band. Quick and easy to get through. 7/10.

This is like someone singing at a coffee house and they just aren't very good. 3/10.

The album is not as good as expected to be honest. At least the US version of the album had Paint it Black which isn't on this one and takes away from it TBH. 5/10.

This album's energy is high AF and fun. If "You Want Blood" is super underrated. 8/10.

Easy and quick album to get through - also has a ton of Beatles influence but obviously not as good. Somewhat forgettable. 5/10.

Great album and two really great songs, (Someday & Last Nite). 8/10.

Weird but in a good way - not quite the classic jazz. 7/10.

First song is good, the rest is alright. Kind of this weird dark pop. 6/10.

Such a great 2000s album with a bunch of great songs on it. 9/10.

"Nothing Compares 2 U" is the best song on the album and it's not even hers (shoutout to Prince). The rest of the album is just garbage. 3/10.

Just an excellent album that's hard hitting and peak west coast rap of the era. Obviously there's a bunch of known songs but "Ain't it Ruff" is very underrated. 10/10.

This is just awful. Head scratching how this even got on this list. 2/10.

Early punk and I'm not so sure I really care for it. 3/10.

A fun, celtic punk album that was fun to listen to. Kind of reminds me of songs you'd play at a pub/bar with your best friends. 7/10.

Early metal, not really my thing though the first song isn't bad. By far the most popular song on the album. All else sounds pretty much the same. 5/10.

Just a laughably bad album. No notable songs and better singing could be found in the NYC subway. Also, sounded like the album was jumped around genres? 2/10.

Immigrant Song obviously the most popular but I guess I was expecting something a bit more. This one was quite bluesy/acoustic/folk, probably more than what I would've liked. 7/10.

This was so laughably bad I'm not sure how it snuck onto this 1001 list. 1/10.

Quick album to get through. Classic punk rock, what's not to love about the album? Bunch of known songs on it too. 8/10.

The album cover art was already the first warning that this was going to be garbage. Horrendous singing and mashing of instruments. 1/10.

The opening lyrics of "The Book of Love" is "The book of love is long and boring"... kind of like this album. Imagine writing 69 songs and every one of them misses. 3/10.

Just not really my thing. Dated and not particularly good. 4/10.

This is just straight up bad. Don't even know what genre of music this is. 2/10.

This album is alright - very 60s type music and mostly not my thing. 5/10.

This is just alright. Not really special, don't understand how some of these albums get on this 1001 list but then again it is 1001 so they've got to fill it with something. Also this is a deluxe album but the extra songs aren't any better. 4/10.

I mean this was alright. Some parts of some songs were good but this was way out there. 6/10.

Nice quick album to listen to. Funky at times, great singing and music. 7/10.

American Girl at the very end of the album was by far the best song on the album. Never really cared for Tom Petty but the album's respectable and easy to listen to. Breakdown also isn't bad. 7/10.

This is just forgettable and bad. 3/10.

This album is better than the total listens given on Spotify. "Its A Miracle" is the best song on the album, IMHO. "Miss Me Blind" is also great. 7/10.

This was kind of like below average 80s music. It's not horrible, but just blah - there's nothing special about it. 5/10.

This is a great album to listen to if you suffer from insomnia. 2/10.

Just blah 80s type music but it's not bad nor good. Really as average as it comes, lifeless but hey at least they're trying. 5/10.

I honestly don't know what to make of this. It's just an average band playing their songs... nothing special about it. Somewhat like something out of a rock competition. 5/10.

This is a pretty good techy sounding album. Obviously the popular song for which the album takes its namesake but it has a number of other good ones. 7/10.

This really isn't it for me. Kind of surprised how many track plays some songs have too on Spotify to be honest. 4/10.

I mean it's an alright listen. Has a bunch of listens on Spotify but I've never heard of him (not saying that I should've, just looks like he has a bigger audience). Light rock mixed with pseudo-folk. Has a cover of Hallelujah that's good and uses his range in it. 6/10.

The GOAT Kanye album and one of the best rap albums of all time. So many strong songs all throughout. 9/10.

This is just generic rock. Not really special at all and as average as it comes. 6/10.

Industrial metal that's not quite my cup of tea. Just One Fix was good and the rest are meh. 5/10.

Really never have been a fan of the genre or Korn but it's not bad, just not my thing. Like that they mixed in Ice Cube and Fred Durst in a couple songs though. 5/10

Great album with a bunch of known songs. Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child O'Mine. 9/10.

I actually hated the "Welcome to New York". Just came off incredibly lazy/meaningless song (and I'm from just outside of NYC) and shouldn't have opened the album with it but Swift really flexes her songwriting ability on this album. Tons of songs and hit after hit. Not my kind of music but I respect it. 8/10.

The first song was relaxing to listen to. The rest are alright, lot of electronic stuff, aligned to the period this came out in. 6/10.

This is just not good. Like experimental techno music. 3/10.

Only 6 songs but the songs are long. Easy listening and I wouldn't have guessed it was from 1969. Nothing crazy though it's like almost like a folk/country, and easy listening though a bit boring. 5/10.

Absolutely love "Jane Says" and some other songs on this album were really great. Didn't know how much I'd really like Jane's Addiction since this is the second album I've listen to since I started this 1001 albums. Also doesn't really sound very 80s, absolutely more early to mid 90s sound so call the album ahead of it's time. Strong power all throughout, incredible bass, guitar, drumming, and vocals. 9/10.

This is my favorite album of all time with my favorite song of all time, "Where The Streets Have No Name." It's excellent in every way and all songs, save for Exit and Mothers of the Disappeared" are absolutely excellent. Incredible start to the album and the middle through the near-end parts are massively underrated compared to the rest of U2's catalog. 10/10.

Really nice classic vocal jazz and super easy to listen to. Calming in a way. 7/10.

This was a nice vocal jazz album to listen to. Wasn't mind blowing but calming. 7/10.

You'd think that if you named your band "The United States of America" it'd call some attention but yikes this is not great. Mediocre singing and playing. Kind of reminds me of a high school band. Couldn't even finish it because it's just so bad. 1/10.

Listen I get that it's pioneering and all that but I don't really care for it. At least it was over quick. 5/10.

It's not bad but doesn't jump out at me. Like indie rock of the time but not really memorable. 6/10.

I'm not a real big fan of Talking Heads and this album continues to prove it. Not a fan of the style of music though I understand the appeal others may have. 6/10.

Drum & Bass genre album that sounds very typical late 90s. The album is quite long and sounds somewhat experimental. Not really my thing. 4/10.

This is actually a great album. Lots of known songs all throughout with It's Too Late the most known song. 7/10.

The album wasn't bad and I love "Let Me Roll It" and personally think it's the best song on the album. 7/10.

Nice beats and all but not really my thing. Almost like 90s experimental techno hip hop. 4/10.

This isn't all that great. Even the most played songs aren't good - not sure how they get tens of millions plays. 4/10.

I'm pretty indifferent about this album. Nice singing and funky or jazzy at times with splashes of R&B but not really my thing. Nothing really stood out as far as the songs go. 6/10.

Quick album to listen to. Not a bad listen - Hendrix was def a pioneer and sounded great. Can only imagine getting stoned to this in the late 60s lol 7/10.

This was actually a strong album from start to finish. Lots of great songs. 9/10.

The last song on the album, "Time of the Season" was the best song on the album by far. It's pretty easy to get through though the previous songs were somewhat forgettable. 6/10.

Huh look at that - Garbage band name, Garbage album name, garbage music. 3/10.

What a snoozer of an album. Every song sounds the same and isn't really unique in any way. 3/10.

Such an excellent album. Starts off well and tapers off a bit in the second half but still a great listen. 9/10.

I thought this album was alright in the beginning but then started getting really instrumental. Not spectacular and why I feel David Bowie is very hit or miss. 4/10.

Fantastic album - lots of great hits on this and an easy listen. 9/10.

The album goes hard AF! Obviously very political but was excellent throughout. 9/10.

This was a fine listen old punk album. Not crazy good but not bad. 6/10.

Eh I'm not a fan of it - just typical 90s R&B - it all just kind of sounds the same. 4/10.

Not a bad album - easy to listen to. Very 80s sound still. 6/10.

I don't really care for CH's jokey-style of hip hop but that's just me. I can appreciate their work though. 6/10.

This is actually a nice album - thought "GO!" and "The Food" with Kanye providing supporting vocals was great and the best songs on the album. 8/10.

"Come on Eileen" by far the best and most popular song but it was a fun album to listen to. Lead singer almost kind of sounds like Brandon Flowers from The Killers... well, Brandon sounds like him since he came later. 7/10.

"Sara" is the best song on the album, sung by Stevie Nicks. The rest of the album is pretty meh - nothing really stands out. 5/10.

Sounds like lots of Kuti's stuff - enjoyable African jazz. 7/10.

"The Seed" is by far the best and most popular song on the album. I'm not sure I really cared for the album outside of this song and was maybe a little disappointed. 6/10.

Fun album to listen to like many Brazilian samba albums. 7/10.

This is just more Bjork garbage. Yeesh bad singing - I don't understand how anyone could like her music. 3/10.

This is really great if you have insomnia. What a snoozefest. Horrible late 60s typical folk singing. 2/10.

I mean it's literally ambient music - I don't get it. 2/10.

I think it's ok - nothing really special to be honest save for "Lovefool", their by-far greatest hit. 6/10.

This is laughably bad. 1/10.

I imagine everyone at this concert was high as a kite. Just typical bad sounding 70s metal. 3/10.

This was a bit of a snooze - I just don't really care for folk music like this. 4/10.

"Right Here, Right Now", "The Rockafeller Skank", "Praise You", are quite popular obviously and very late 90s sound. Almost sounds experimental electronica. 6/10.

I don't really care for their music and I'm a rock guy. Idk, none of the songs are really catchy or stand out, despite their listens on Spotify. Can respect it though. 6/10.

This was actually a great album. Goes hard AF and lots of the songs are catchy. Love that the first one, "The Age of Pamarius", is the opening theme for Wildboyz lol. 8/10.

This just kind of sucks. Can't tell what kind of genre it's supposed to be. Bad singing all around. 3/10.

This is peak punk. Can't understand anything the singer is saying though. 3/10.

This was a really solid metal album and enjoyed it. 7/10.

This is actually nice classic Cuban jazz. 8/10.

Eh nothing special, in fact it's kind of bland. Has some pretty late 60s rock sound to it compared to when it was released. 5/10.

Classic country that's not horrible but definitely not my thing at all though I understand the appeal if you're from this part of the world. 5/10.

What an awful album. Just sad, mediocre singing and uninspiring music. Yeesh. 2/10.

This is one of the best albums that I've ever heard, despite the Christmas theme. Just about every song is recognizable and excellent. This has got to be the GOAT Christmas album. 10/10.

Totally incredible voice and fun sounding performance. 7/10.

This was a bit boring. Just regular country music I suppose. 5/10.

Just more Bjork garbage. I will never understand how anyone could like her stuff. Such a shame how there's so many more talented people who don't even get a tenth of the recognition she does. 2/10.

Old blues album but not really my thing. Not a huge Clapton fan since he's a mediocre singer. Has Ray Charles cover in it too. 6/10.

Yeesh I mean the Beach Boys def get their sound from Brian but I am just not a fan of this album. It's almost like an experimental album. Ironically, the best song was "Good Vibrations", a song originally released in the 60s. Really? 3/10.

I want to like Radiohead but I'm just not into their music - idk it just seems kind of boring. Can appreciate their work and why others like it, though. 5/10.

What a struggle this was to listen to. Just plain bad singing, forgettable songs, and instruments. 3/10.

"Blue Rondo a la Turk" right off the bat is known from a bunch of movies but "Take Five" is excellent and a Jazz staple. 8/10.

This album just sucked. Was maybe like a funk jam album with the occasional random sounds. 2/10.

It's a nice album and can appreciate it. 7/10.

This was a very nice album honestly. Wouldn't say many recognized hits though, save maybe for "I Can't Stop Loving You". 7/10.

This album belongs on the worst 1001 albums list. Yeesh. 1/10.

I struggle with Bowie's music. I like some of it but it often seems experimental and ahead of it's time, in a way. I thought this album was alright. 6/10.

Good pop album for the time but I never cared for Cyndi Lauper. Can't stand the shrill voice but at least this album has three huge hits and can respect the work. 7/10.

Never been a fan of folk, especially of this era. It's not all bad, it just doesn't catch my attention. 5/10.

This is just a boring album. Songs all sound the same and are so simplistic. No good drumming, singing, or guitar play. Kind of disappointing. 4/10.

A very bland album. Listened to it, had to do something, and already kind of forgot what it sounded like. 4/10.

This album is just so bland and uninteresting. Sounds very late 90s too, if anything. 3/10.

Very funky album. Interesting to hear the sample for Dr Dre's "Let Me Ride" in "Mothership Connection (Star Child)". "Give Up The Funk" also very popular. 6/10.

Not a bad album, generally don't care for Public Enemy but this was good. 7/10.

Just not really a fan. Somewhat boring even by '69 standards. No songs really jumped out at me. 5/10.

"Freedom" is def the biggest hit on the album. Nice album to listen to, to be honest. 7/10.

One of the best rap/hip hop albums of all time, maybe the best. My personal favorite. Every song is just incredible - one of the rare perfect albums and that can be appreciated even if you do not like rap/hip hop. Easy 10/10.

Excellent album all throughout with tons of great songs and probably peak Bruce, at least from a general popularity perspective. Tons of hits. 10/10.

I can certainly appreciate Adele's incredible voice and respect her hit songs, which this album has plenty of. I have two favorites: her cover of "Lovesong" by The Clash and the very underrated "He Won't Go". 9/10.

This was hilariously bad. Horrid singing, no songs worth enjoying, just boring. Somehow "The Killing Moon" has 117m plays on Spotify. 3/10.

This sucks. Horrible boring singing, unimaginative music. 2/10.

This is actually a great album. Lots of good songs especially "Hotel California" which everyone knows. 8/10.

I thought the album was fine, never really cared for LL but the rhymes are nice. Still has a very 80s sound of hip hop. "Around The Way Girl" is my favorite song on the album. 7/10.

This is alright - not the biggest Bowie fan but can appreciate this album. 6/10.

"Crosstown Traffic" my favorite song on the album. Guitar playing throughout obviously fantastic. 7/10.

I'm just not that big of a fan of Janis Joplin's. I want to like the raspy voice and all but I'm just like "meh". "Peice of my Heart" is the most popular song on the album and probably my favorite. 6/10.

This is actually pretty good. Couple pretty popular songs on there but overall a really good listen. 8/10.

Eh nice voice and all but not really crazy about folk music. 6/10.

Not a bad listen - my favorite song was "High Tide or Low Tide". 7/10.

This was alright - obviously they have pretty much the only song they're known for but nothing crazy. 6/10.

This is just so laughably bad. Horrid "singing" and unimaginative songs. 2/10.

Just another bad, boring album. Horrid singing and songs. 3/10.

This is so so so bad. Shrill voice and uninspiring annoying songs. 2/10.

The band actually sounded really though I don't really care for them. Has a very 70s rock sound. 7/10.

Not a bad album honestly. "Heads Will Roll" is the best song. 7/10

Not a bad album - I'm on the fence of whether or not I like REM's music but I think this is really solid. Two big hits with "Man on the Moon" and "Everybody Hurts". 7/10.

This kind of reminds me of a band of dudes in their 40s who casually get together from time to time and play for a town or state fair. Just pretty textbook bland southern rock lol. 4/10.

This is just bad. 2/5 hours of bad music on this album. Sounds pretty punk for the era though. 4/10.

Good album but I suppose I was expecting something more. Kashmir probably the most known song on the album. 7/10.

Interestingly enough there were tons of solos across the album. Not as much singing as I had expected. Not bad though, typical metal. 7/10.

Such a fantastic and easy album to listen to with two huge hits in "Tom Sawyer" and "Limelight". 9/10.

I'm actually shocked this album has this many listens on Spotify considering how boring this is. I suppose people put this on in the background as they're trying to get to sleep? Horrendous singing and unimpressive playing. 3/10.

Good album. "No Woman No Cry" is def the biggest, most recognizable song on this album. 7/10.

I don't think this is all that bad actually. "No More Mr. Nice Guy" was the best song on the album, IMO. 7/10.

Really a masterpiece of an album with the greatest rock song ever written, in "Stairway to Heaven". Fantastic from start to finish. 9/10.

Bob Dylan's music can kiss my ass. Just droning on and on, I have no idea how anyone could like this snoozer of an artist. And enough with the harmonica, it's not good and actually had to turn down the volume at times cause it pierces right through your ears. I really tried to make it through this album but had to bail for my sanity. I won't give him a 1/10 because at least the guitar playing is pleasant, really the only redeeming thing with this album. 2/10.

I mean this is fine, not particularly a fan of Dead Kennedys or their style of early punk but can appreciate it. 5/10.

This is quite bad. Unimaginative lyrics and singing, nothing really special about it really. 4/10.

This album has songs with a ton of plays but I just think this is boring. Not particularly great singing and forgettable songs. 6/10.

Great album from start to finish and a few songs I didn't know were there's, like Train in Vain. 8/10.

Such a fantastic album with masterful vocals. Long album but tons of great songs - an easy classic. 10/10.

My Bloody Valentine? More like My Boring Valentine (got'em). I don't get it - they just drone on and on with the same melodies song in and song out, minimal singing and the parts they do sing it's more like background noise. Not even impressive guitar playing or anything, almost like garage band level of music. 4/10.

Just boring? A really forgettable album. 4/10.

Thought the album was nice, though maybe the songs a bit too long at times. 7/10.

Pretty stellar album with incredible vocals and strong songs from start to finish. 9/10.

Absolute snooze - merely background noise. 4/10.

Not really a fan but can see why people would like it. 5/10.

Just so long and boring. Droning on and on with random music playing and "singing". 3/10.

This is an excellent album with lots of great songs from start to finish and goes hard AF. Excellent instrumentals. 9/10.

This is actually really underrated. Super catchy with "Good Times" being the obvious mega hit but all others are great too. Maybe the easiest album to listen to, 300+ albums into this. 8/10.

Kind of boring; poor singing and a bit of a snoozer. 4/10

This was alright. Songs are a bit too long for my taste but otherwise forgettable. 6/10.

A bit tough to get through parts of it. Kind of just an uninteresting album. 4/10.

This was pretty good though I didn't really recognize any of the music. 7/10.

This is really great for curing insomnia. 3/10.

Finally! An album and band whose name shares the same sentiment a listener feels after listening to it. How does stuff like this even crack the 1001 list? Horrible, basically just spoken word. 2/10

This was a pretty good glam album with a unique sound. First song of course is the biggest hit and sounds very arena rock, while some other tracks have kinda of easy going reggae-voice like sound. 7/10.

I actually can't stand Joplin's voice and was not a fan of this album or her music. She sings like an old lady. 5/10.

Peak late 90s electronica and though I can appreciate it, it aged poorly. 5/10.

Just an experimental instrumental album. Complete snoozefest. 4/10.

This was a nice live classic album. Warm and enjoyable. 6/10

This was a bit... Disappointing? I guess I expected it to be better, have catchier songs. Not horrible, just not as memorable as I had hoped. 7/10.

Excellent, strong album from start to finish. My one complaint is that there are too many songs that are combined into a single track. 9/10.

Mr. Blue Sky the most known song of the album. Was alright, didn't care for most of it. 6/10.

Yeah not really it. Great producer for U2 and can hear some influence among their work, but most of this sounds experimental electronica/rock. 3/10.

Way too long an album but it's funky and very 90s type sound. 6/10

I want to like this more but just felt it to be alright and nothing more. 5/10

Great album and superb vocals, honestly. "You Know I'm No Good" and "Back to Black" were by far my favorites. 9/10

Legit sounds like a battle of the bands generic type band, even including the bad singing. Completely forgettable and average. 5/10.

Kind of a disappointing album and pretty dark. I guess I wanted something "poppier". 4/10.

The album cover and the music are completely in line lol what the hell. I mean I can see how people could get into this but what a ROUGH album to get through. Great drums tho. 2/10

Way too long an album and I wasn't particularly impressed. 24 songs and nothing stood out. 5/10.

Rock Lobster! I actually really like the dynamic the group has, even with the very different sounding voices. A fun album. 7/10

Pretty good album actually. Really nice album from start to finish, great vocals, great instrumentals. "Maggie May" far the best song. 8/10.

Some pretty popular songs on the album but I was never quite the fan of early rap though I can certainly appreciate this. 7/10

Not very good. Shrieking voice and uninspiring music, kind of sounds like a Battle of the Bands band. 4/10.

Nice album but kind of boring. More artistic than anything. 6/10

Great album with "Brass in Pocket" the best most known song. 7/10.

Yeesh this was a rough one to get through. 4/10

Old timey honky tonk but surprisingly enjoyable. 6/10

I mean I can see how some people would like this but this just isn't for me. 6/10

Excellent album from start to finish. Tons of well known songs. 9/10

This sucked. Annoyingly bad singing, forgettable album. 4/10.

This was a nice album actually, very pleasant to listen to. 8/10

Nothing on this really stood out for me - it was nice, but not memorable. 7/10.

Not an Elvis Costello fan and am just really neutral on this album. 6/10.

This is the music you'd hear at a department store or something. Great if you suffer from insomnia. 4/10.

I couldn't wait for this to be over. Just sad and boring and depressing and all sounded the same. 3/10

Pretty dated music, not exactly crazy about it. Typical late 90s electronica. 6/10.

Forgettable album. Nice singing but nothing stands out. 6/10.

It was alright. Liked the reggae but nothing jumped out. 7/10

Strong vocals from Rod Stewart throughout and bluesy guitar. "I ain't superstitious" is my favorite song on the album and remember hearing it in movies, I want to say in "Casino*. 7/10.

Really great album throughout and hits hard. "Down in a Hole" is the best song on the album, IMO. 9/10.

Truthfully, this was just alright. Maybe I need to spend more time listening to it but this was just alright. 7/10.

Not a fan of his music, just not a great album. 4/10.

WAY too long an album. Nice but I lost interest. Liked the mix of Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins tho. 6/10

Relaxing at times, sure, but totally forgettable. Just a "whatever" album. 5/10.

I mean it went by quickly but i don't know if that's because I had to tune it out as background noise. Not great. 5/10.
