It is a refreshing album. Good to listen to after something more experimental or hard to understand. In short, it is a simple album, but here, simplicity it's a good thing.

That's interesting to know this album and nowadays it's absolutely obvious their influence on modern rock songs. However, listening to it today, I can't see so many qualities in these songs. They are nice to listen to, but nothing more.

Electronic music is definitely not my place. However, this album is very good in simulate the annoying of long road trips (at least).

It's very nice to listen to something that sounds "grunge" besides Nirvana or Pearl Jam, but also has many experimental songs with a kind of metal that is good even not understanding everything. In short, it was good to know this album, even not being the best one on this list until now. Probably, I will listen to it again someday...

I like jazz music, but for no good reason, I don't listen to it so frequently. This album is a good remember that I need to listen to it more and more. An excellent album for all days.

I never listened to LCD Soundsystem before, even knowing the band by the name. It's a strange album that sounds "strange" to me. First I thought that it was "too much experimental", but I like experimental music too, so this is not the problem. In short, I didn't like it too much, but It had some very good songs, like the last one, for example. I'll not listen to it again in the next weeks, but maybe it deserves a second try some day.

I like Iron Maiden since my teenage years, but to my own shame, I never listened to all songs from this first album. It's a great thing how much these songs sound fresh comparing with more recent Maiden songs. It looks like a great 2021 metal album. Absolutely a great album!

This is another example of a band that I already know about (actually, I like very much R.E.M. songs) but never listened to this whole album in a row. For this experiment of 1001 albums, this is just the third one but is for sure the best until now. It's really worth it!

I started this album knowing the name "Dire Straits", but without any reference to any song, however almost all the songs are very familiar to me, actually. It's the type of album that every song has a kind of "I know this one from 'Guitar Hero'", "I know this one from that movie", etc... So, many songs are very famous but it is something very common, just the simple and old hard rock. It deserves a chance, but the songs are better as the soundtrack for movies and games instead of a complete album.

Electronic music is definitely not my place. However, this album is very good in simulate the annoying of long road trips (at least).

This sounds like a real classic. No matter who you are, these songs are all very recognizable to anyone. Great album.

I liked this album very much. It sounds so true and so fun. It sounds like "good days". I didn't know Blur much more than "Song 2", but now I'll search for all other albums to know a little bit more. Definitively, worths it!

I liked this album but is too "simple". I know that maybe it was revolutionary for 1995, but nowadays it's just another indie rock band without anything great for me. Sure, I'm biased by the fact that I didn't know anything about Garbage, so I don't have any affective memory with it, but it's an album that I probably will forget tomorrow.

It's very nice to listen to something that sounds "grunge" besides Nirvana or Pearl Jam, but also has many experimental songs with a kind of metal that is good even not understanding everything. In short, it was good to know this album, even not being the best one on this list until now. Probably, I will listen to it again someday...

This is a great album that I already know before. It has some of the most important songs in the whole world. Impossible to give it less than 5 stars

I like jazz music, but for no good reason, I don't listen to it so frequently. This album is a good remember that I need to listen to it more and more. An excellent album for all days.

It's very interesting to listen to this album because it sounds like classical gangsta rap most of the time, but it's because it's is one of the classic albums of this style and inaugurated all of these classical characteristics. A great experience!

It's very nice to listen to some clean and real raw rock album. It's not one of the best albums for me, but it's very honest.

This is one of the best albums that I didn't know and I'm listening now with this site. This is just a great and classical rock album with all the strength and soul that was expected from a real rock album. For sure, it is a five-star album

This is the longest album that I already listened entirely. It's hard to evaluate it because it has almost all song styles and possibilities for an English love song. a kind of repetitive album, but it's not the worst thing ever, just an "ok" album with an ambitious idea behind it. Ambitious albums are almost always a good idea, but this one is not one of the best-executed ones.

I started this album expecting something like any mid-2000 indie rock, so, I wasn't expecting too much. However, this is a very nice album, with fewer cliches and some good songs. Nothing spectacular, but a nice album.

It is a refreshing album. Good to listen to after something more experimental or hard to understand. In short, it is a simple album, but here, simplicity it's a good thing.

This is so boring and common that I don't understand why it is on this list. Anything between a piece of elevator music and an end of party music. Even the live versions have not any soul.

A calm and introspective album with some very good songs in it. I didn't know anything about Elliott Smith, but his songs sound like a good remember of the simplest teenage years, including all the teenage problems.

I really don't like electronic music, but to my surprise, this is a nice album. According to Wikipedia, it starts the style of trip-hop with the mix of electronic and hip-hop and I think that this mix made my opinion change a little. It's not the type of music that I choose to listen to during my day, but at some electronic party, these songs would be a very good choice.

Initially, I didn't like it too much, thinking about why these ambient songs were here in this list. However, I finished it with the opposite opinion. It is a very good album with some very good instrumental songs. It is surprisingly modern for a 1962 album.

All songs from this album are classical. A great album with only one notable drawback: it sounds a little bit dated, probably because it is a reference album for almost every rock band nowadays. However, worth every song!

This is an absolute classic. I noticed that I didn't listen to it for some time, but it is still one of my favorite albums of all time.

It's a surprising album with some very interesting songs but at the same time, some songs are very boring. I liked to listen to it, but it's not very probable that it will happen again, even with those good songs at the first part of the album. The art cover is very beautiful.

I'm not a fan of more recent Radiohead works, but this album has some type of rawness that really touches me. A great piece of art.

This album is very common and easy to listen to. I know that it should be considered a great rock album for 83, but nowadays, the age came and it just an ok album.

I absolutely didn't know anything about this band and this album was a very good surprise. It's not absolutely different from standard indie rock from the last decade, but it's a very good example of this type of song. :-)

This was a very surprising album. The art cover is awesome and the album itself was an amazing experience. For sure, I'll search other Donavan's albums to discover a little bit more about these songs. The Wikipedia article is also a good waste of time.

This album was an amazing suggestion from this project. I absolutely loved almost every song, even not knowing anything about the band before.

I know many of Slayer's songs from my teenage years and I like them and listen to them today made me realize how much they influenced the metal scene forever. Their songs from this album are a little bit repetitive, but it's cool.

I always think about Bruce Springsteen like something like bad country songs (don't know why), but this album is very different from my expectations and it is a very good piece of good songs.

Ok...It's a good album, but nothing special for me. The song "May you never" is the best.

Now I'm listening to you 1001albumsgenerator 8-)

This is very different from everything else that I already listened to from David Bowie. I prefer his more recent work, but it's very interesting to listen to this album.

Another Maiden album. This is album does not have my favorite songs from the album, but it's still great!

This album is not so special at all, but it deserves 3 stars for the absolutely special songs. "California Dreamin" deserves the 3 stars itself for being a great song itself.

I know just the most famous songs from Rolling Stones and this album is surprisingly awesome for me. All blues and rock were amazing here. Included in my favorites

It's a very good instrumental album (or almost instrumental), but nothing very special to me.

Definitively, country is not my style....I like very few songs from this style, so this album was very boring to me. I'll dive it 2 stars for one or two songs that were comfortable for listen.

This was very....strange. I was expecting something like Joy Division or The cure (things that I like), but it was more...darker and strange. I liked it, but not too much.

I think that this is a good album for Friday, but it's not too much more than it.

This is not the Queen that I know. The Wikipedia link shows that this is not the most knowledgeable album from the band, but it's also great! Worth it!

This album was surprisingly good for me. Very good songs with a nice vibe.

This album does not sound like the best of Nirvana for me, but still, it's a great piece of music and definitively worths it!

Very nice surprise!

This one was a great Latin music album. Worth it!

I didn't like it too much, but it is an ok album.

This was one more great album that I absolutely didn't know. It's incredible how this project has been a great introduction for some important musicians for me.

This album is too irregular for me. There are some great songs, but there are also some experimental and dislocated songs (more appropriated in some kind of really experimental album)

This was a great treasure discovery. It resembles in me a great classic that I didn't know yet. Definitely, an album to listen to before die!

Usually, I like this type of music, but this is just ....nhem

Another great surprise...

I didn't get it....:-(

3 stars

I didn't know anything from Solange after Destiny Child and this is a very good album. Remembers me Alicia Keys and this is great!

This is an album that deserves 5 stars for its simple existence.

This album mixes some things that I definitively do not like, like country music and a kind of early stages of rock n roll, that I like very much, so it's for me a kind of definition of a medium album.

Nothing special, but a good album to know something of this important band

I didn't get this album. It's like too much experimental, but not....3 stars because it's a cool thing to discover another artist that I didn't before this site.

I like coldplay, but this album is not the best one for me

Very nice surprise. One more album for my favorites from this site.

It's very nice to listen some great classic like this.

So boring...10 mile stereo is the only song that saves the album.

I liked to know more about Pixies, which I already like, but this album is fine. Nothing so special that deserves too much highlight, but very nice songs.

Very nice Alice cooper album. I don't know if I classified it as essential, but it's a good choice, for sure.

I didn't finish it yet, but this a great hip-hop/soul album. Unbelievable that I didn't know it until today. Thank you 1001albumsgenerator!

I can get the importance of this album, but it's not so good to me. Just ok!

I like QOSA, but this album is not excptional

A classic album with iconic songs. Almost every song is at least great!

This album is strange because sometimes it sounds like a bad Beatles imitation and sometimes it remembers me something of green day in their good days. At least, is a curious album

It sounds strange, but cool

Really boring. Not my taste

I never listened to a complete Elvis album before, so I'm very impressed with this one. A great opportunity to know a little bit of pop/rock history, even recognizing a lot of influences from blues and knowing that Elvis is not a real rock pioneer (maybe in a commercial way, but not artistic), this looks like an important album for me.

This is a simple album for more simplest times. I enjoyed almost every song here and feel like a young boy again.

It's very clear how much this album influenced many modern songs. This is not exactly my preferred music style, but it's very easy to understand why this is a complete classic.

I can understand the importance of this album or even the importance of Kate Bush, but her songs are absolutely not for me....anything between an elevator song and strange 70's rock. Sounds like a bad flashback playlist.

The was a very different experience that I don't know how to evaluate, but the album contains some good instrumental songs to keep focus during the workday. The Wikipedia page is simple but it looks like this album influenced great songwriter that I admire, so 3 stars is fine to me.

This is a great album and just it

I like to listen to it, even not being exactly my kind of music. Maybe is just some type of bad influence, but it sounds like old romantic music for my mother....

It sounds too much exotic and bad music. Not my kind of thing

I'm not a big fan of post-punk, but this was a good discovery

It's something very pleasurable to discover a new album and recognize it as something classical. This album is great!

I enjoy Rolling stones much more than I thought before this album.

Another Joni Mitchell's album and I'm more certain that I don't like it. Next

Good surprise

Good but not all that people say.

This real progressive rock is not my kind of thing (I prefer things less experimental and "low level" like Pink Floyd), however, this album was a good experience.

A great album but a little messy. I didn't get a signature in all songs like I saw in other albums of The kinks.

I expected much more from this album. Just ok!

This is one of the hidden gems in the book that I never listened to and shows a great piece of art. Exceptional, for sure. I didn't like so much of these versions of "My Girl" and "Satisfaction", but the album is brilliant.

Raw and true, but not so good

It remembers my teenage years so I have some good memories of all RHCP's career. However, this album is not so great that I remember, even with the last songs being great examples of all the RHCP power and dominance of their style. I'll give it 4 stars for it because of all, the memories, the sentiment, and the good songs.

A great album! Just it!

I didn't listen too much to Elton John's songs because I identify his songs as something for Sir and classy people, but this album absolutely changes my mind. I didn't love every song, but almost all songs sound very good to me. I'm able to identify much classic rock in these songs and I like it!

Where I was in my teenage years for not listen to this all day? I recognize the most famous songs, but the whole album is great!

ZZZZZZZZZZZ...good first song....ZZZZZZZZZ

I absolutely didn't get it....it's not bad, but it's not good also...it's strange, but also very simple and raw...It's not for me, but I recognize something that should be for me....I Don't know...

I like this type of post-punk music, but the album itself is just good, nothing really special.

I don't understand why this is considered psychedelic rock, because normally I'm not a fan of psychedelic songs and I liked it very much....probably I don't know what is real psychedelic rock. :-) In short, A good album with very pleasable songs and the last one "real" experimental or psychedelic but still cool! Worth it!

It one of the strangest things that I ever listen to, but still very powerful and I don't know why I liked it, but I liked it. I'm not a jazz fan, but this kind of thing touches me in some way that is strongest than my comprehension

I liked it because it's cool to know new artists that I never knew, but the album itself is so monochromatic. Good songs to dance to, maybe some important message that I don't understand, but just a good album.

This is much better than the album "Fragile". I think that is more "conventional" but for sure better.

From the Wikipedia article, I got that Roxy music has great importance in music history, but their songs are too basic for my taste. Good songs but just it.

I didn't know how much I could like Steve Wonder songs... It a great album with a lot of innovations and very pleasable songs. Much better than his most famous tracks, this album is very good

I understand the importance of this album, but it's not my kind of music. I prefer Prince covers to actual Prince songs. "1999" is the only great song that I liked very much from the whole album.

I know that I should liked it more than I liked, but this live album was....just ok, nothing special. it's not up to James Brown

I don't know where I was in the '90s, but I know that I like Smashing Pumpkins much more than I tough before this album. A great piece of art with a lot of different styles, but still connected, even the more "experimental" songs are great and in line with the rest of the album. Definitively worths it

The first songs are pretty common, nothing special. The second part gave me a "Lord of the Rings" vibe that was very cool and justified a good rating for this album. I probably will not listen to it again anymore, but it was a good experience.

Strange, but nice... Not too much experimental, not too much classical. I probably not revisit this album again, but it was a nice experience to listen to it.

Personally, I didn't recognize much "samba" in this jazz, but I know bossa nova very much and the album is a good instrumental bossa nova versions of some good songs. Nothing special, but I think that spread this Brazilian song around the world (even in an instrumental way) deserves a place in the list of 1001 albums to listen to before die.

Something very recognizable, but anything special. I don't know if this album has something special for their time, but nowadays it's just fine.

It's a very good classic rap album. For me, these songs could be more strong and the thematic sounds old for modern days, but I respect the historical music from the hip-hop movement.

Very nice modern R&B album. I liked it most because I can recognize many influences in some very good songs that I like (Alicia Keys for example).

I know the more recent work of Fiona Apple and listen to this old version of her work is very interesting. This is not any piece of art in my opinion, but it includes many good songs and worth the almost 1 hour of her voice. I prefer the most recent albums from her, but this was a good experience

It's very interesting to listen to some Led Zeppelin songs that aren't part of the greatest hits of the band (for me, the only exception here is "The immigrant song"), but Led Zepelling is always Led Zepellin, so I don't have so much to say: Absolutely amazing

This is the kind of album absolutely surprising! I don't know the band, I never listened to anything from them, The name was strange, the first song is catchy but not so special, but when the album ends it looks like something different happened. What I listened here? A simple post-punk album? Why this band is so underground? More people should listen to it. Well, for me it's something that I'll sure listen to again in the future and hope that more people know it

Looking at the Wikipedia page I expected to find a good Johnny Cash-style style songs, but it was just an old classic country album without any innovation. I understood the importance of this kind of music for music history, but it's not my taste

First "reggae" album here and, although I don't knew the artist, it's easy to note the innovations brought by the artist in the '90s that are used until today.

I swear I try, but except for some very popular songs, Electronic music is definitely not for me. In this case, even the meme song "Sweet Dreams" is tiring.

Shame on me for being Brazilian and never listen to this whole album. Sure, I know some songs but listen to them completely was a very nice experience. Sometimes Milton Nascimento makes me sleepy (mainly his new songs after "Clube da Esquina"), but this album is completely the opposite, it makes me fells with a lot of energy. I don't know if this list includes more Brazilian albums or even Brazilian artists, but this one was very pleasable

I didn't know this album, although it sounds like a classical. It was a very pleasable experience listen to it and it's easy to see their influence on modern songs.

A very nice jazz album. It's hard for me to evaluate this type of thing because I like jazz, but I don't understand it very well.

I just knew one song from this band, but this album surprised me. It's very good.

This project is showing to me that I like Rolling Stones much more than I tough before these first 120 albums listened from the list. However, this is the third Rolling Stones selected in my list and I think that is the worst (the other two were awesome and this one is just good). I liked much more of this album because of the Wikipedia link. The history of this album and its production gave me another perspective of it, even wich the songs nothing touching me in any way. It worth it, but this is not the Rolling Stones album that I'll listen to in the near future.

Besides one or two good songs, a long boring album with no personality. I know that Wilco influenced some new bands that I like, but I didn't see anything here.

Is this really an important album anywhere in the world? 2000's years have so many good songs, but this one is just boring...

I always liked Joy Division and I had something "against" New Order, but this album changed my mind. I need to go back and listen to them again. I know that this phase is not absolutely "synth" as the next albums, but it was a so good experience and I think that I'm able to give them another chance.

It's funny because one day before this album I listened to something from "New Order" expecting something like this Devo album and found that I didn't know New Order very well. I didn't know Devo so well too, but my expectations were all achieved and these expectations were an album with a lot of synth-rock without much meaning....well that's not men, It's Devo. The Wikipedia link was interesting.

It's very nice to listen to something like Neil Young that is not Neil Young. I don't want to reduce Crosby's career to be some type of Young cover or anything like that, but I'm comparing their importance for USA's music. This album is good enough to show this importance but it's not the best work in my opinion.

This was a good album. Nice to listen to it and very nice recognizable singles, but also very repetitive. Good to know a little bit more about this important band.

This is a very good live album, but it's still a live album and I prefer studios over it. Reading the Wikipedia link, I understood the reasons for a live album, but I still prefer the studio versions

It's a very nice surprise to discover these pre-heavy metal bands that I did not know about before. An excellent album.

Whow! That's something! I didn't know the band and this album was amazing!

It sounds to me just like some generic Alanis Morissette cover band. I'm not sure who came first, but this does not matter, it is just very boring.

This was a very nice surprise. The entire album gives me the sensation of being in the 80's being sad and living my life as a rebel teenager while my mom brings the fresh cookies to my cleaned room. Good experience! The songs are nice too, but the experience is great!

This was a very good surprise. A great album that sounds very different from "normal" American hip-hop.

It's very interesting to discover these "hidden" things from music history. This is not the best punk that I listened to, but thinking about the age of this album it sounds so much fresh that it definitely worths it

I know Björk, but I never liked too much of her work...it's not anything special, but it's nothing my kind of thing. This album does not change my mind, but I think that I "understood" better her work and this is a nice thing.

It's very cool to discover this hidden hip-hop history. I'd like to know more to make a real analysis on it, give some background (besides the Wikipedia article), and an informed evaluation. This is the kind of music that demands some research work and this is something very nice. However, I'm limited, so I just would say that this was a fun experience and I want more hip-hop classics during this list of 1001 albums to listen to.

I like Soundgarden, but except for the hit "Black hole sun", I think this is a pretty normal grunge album. Reading the Wikipedia article, I realize the importance of the album for Soundgarden history, but the songs themselves are fine and nothing more, nothing special.

This was the first Beatles selected for me on this site (in a row of almost 120 albums now) and I'm glad that this was selected because I like too much of this band (not surprisingly), but I didn't listen to the cover versions from their initial years and this album (specially B-side) was a great experience for me. A great band playing the greatest songs and making history. It's not the best Beatles, of course, but worth each song.

It could be a good instrumental album, but it's just boring because includes too much electronic without any purpose. I can't see any purpose or line of reasoning in these songs. The last song, at least, is likable.

This is a classical album that deserves 5 stars for the influence. Any modern hip-hop could not be the same without this album and, also, it sounds so new even today. Classical is classical for one reason!

With this album, I confirm my first impression that I only like the hits from Talking Heads and not of all of their songs. The album is not bad for me but is absolutely nothing special. I'll keep the hits in my playlist, but I'll probably forget almost all songs from this album tomorrow.

This album was a pretty normal experience. Maybe I was expecting too much from it. It's not bad, definitively, but even the "experimental" part sounds just like old and classic rock and roll

This was great!!! It's so raw and real. I'm devastated for not know this band before. A great album that deserves much more attention. The songs are cool and different during the whole album, this "punk" sax thing is kind of a special thing and the vocalist is a very good example of the best punk singer. I don't have any complaints. Just a great album.

This is a second 5 stars in a row using this project and again it's an album that I knew just by the name before and never gets the necessary incentive to listen to it. This was a great experience. The only drawback here is the short length of the album. I'll sure listen to it again.

This was another surprise because I always have some previous bad impression of Sonic Youth, but this album was pretty good. The first songs are great songs and if the album ended there, it deserved 4 or 5 stars. The last songs were a little bit strange, too experimental for an album that does not start with an experimental approach. I don't dislike these experimental songs, but also don't love them.

This was a very nice album. I like the older hip-hop songs, but this kind of more "modern" hip-hop is so recognizable for me that it's almost impossible do not listen to some songs with a "home" feeling. The first songs are the best and the last ones are a kind of repetitive, but in a whole analysis, this is a great album.

I'm not a fan and this album didn't change too much my impression of Madonna's work. It's nice, but (except for one or another classical song not included in this specific album) it's just mainstream pop music and does not mean anything at all.

Is it possible to believe in a country song in a country album be more country than the most country song in a country world ruled by countrymen and countrywomen with country childrens singing country songs in a country album? Yes, it's possible!

Why this album is on this list? Why?

Nothing remarkable about it. I listened on Friday and now (Monday), thinking about what to write about the album, the only word is forgettable. Not totally bad, just forgettable!

I liked it much more than I thought initially. It's strange to listen to it so "sad" songs with this electronically vibe, but the Cohen voice is so interesting that hypnotizes anyone independentilly of the song. For sure, I'll include it in my favorite albuns list.

It's very strange for me how "New Order"'s albums could be so different among them. They have some great albums and things like this one that does not deserve so much comment. By the ability to do so different things I'll give 2 stars, but this album is 1 star for sure.

This was the first electronic music album that I'll evaluate with more than 1 star. The first song has a dreamy sensation that is likable, but it's still that kind of European electronic song that's absolutely not my kind of thing.

Is this lo-fi to improve my focus during the work/study routine from Youtube? It's nice to listen to these things that are the origins of the modern trending, but it's still not my style of music. 2 or 3 songs are nice to listen to.

This album gave me some mixed feelings because I dislike most of the electronic music that I listened to in this list of 1001 albums, but this one has some very good songs. Since I speak Portuguese, I'm biased, however, I'll ignore this bias and make this electronic album the first 3 stars electronic album on my list. As a side note, it's very nice to discover new things, this project is really awesome.

"Layla" is enough classical for the whole album, but some other songs are also very good songs. This is not an exceptional album, it stills sounds like a "clean" 70/80's rock n' roll (this is not really a bad thing, but it's hasn't any real highlight besides "Layla").

I never liked too much of Alice in Chains. No good reason for it, but never liked it. This album showed to me the reason: It's the same song for 1 hour! It's not absolutely bad, normally I like this 90's feeling, but the exact same song for 1 hour is too much 90's for me.

This is awesome. Enough said

This was a very different album. I was prepared for something very electronic and 2000's feelings, but I found one of the precursors of the sample used in hip-hop music (maybe). Is this instrumental? Is this some kind of risk vinyl disk? What it is? In short, this is far away from the best album on this list and it's not exactly my kind of music, but it makes me realize the purpose of this project (and probably my reason to keep into it).

I'm not sure if I listened to an album from a band or an album from a soundtrack of some generic romantic comedy. These songs are so recognizable like if I listened to them every day, but at the same time, they are new for me. Well, a pretty fine romantic album, but nothing exactly special.

I never liked too much of Elvis Costello, but this is another surprise brought to me by this project. I never like it because I never listened to the phase with "The Attractions". This album is the second one of "Elvis Costello & The Attractions" and it's another classical with a lot of references and good songs. It's not so linear and has one or two downsides, but it's definitively a great album!

This is a very specific experience. I know this album and I loved it the first time I listened to it some years ago, but re-listen to it now made me note how much Kendrick Lamar was "raw" and inexperienced when it was launched. His work as so much better now that even this album being a classic for modern hip-hop, it's easy to note the fails and drawbacks. An awesome album that, for me, was overcome by the new albums, but it's still a great work.

This was a nice experience. A progressive rock that really looks progressive and sounds erudite. I liked it, but I didn't love it. Good point for not be a long album. 40/50 min for an album in this style is more than enough for me (especially for progressive music where the albums are frequently too much long).

Almost 1 hour of Mariah Carey? That is...at least, unexpected. A good album if you want to listen to the same song for 50 minutes. That clean and inoffensive hip-hop/pop/soul mix does not mean anything in the end, but I assume that there are some nice songs for some busy days when you won't turn off your mind and do not think or enjoy the music at all.

He is not the king of pop without reason. His sound is still pop and still fresh even after more than 30 years. Not generic pop music, but a really great mixture of jazz and soul music that is extremely catchy! I'll give it 4 stars because I know that is not the best of MJ yet, but it's a great album.

I understand the rave vibes, but this could be good if each song had 2 or 3 minutes less.

This is nice. Nothing special, good to know some curiosities on the most famous ABBA album, but nothing more to say.

I was not expecting this one. When I read the "synth-pop" style on the Wikipedia page I imagined something so different than what I got. It's not anything genial or like but it's like some good parts of that "New Order"'s style that are enough good for an album and a good discover.

It's not perfect (far from it). It's not the best thing that happened to the music... However, listen to it makes me remember my teenage years and so I'll give it 5 stars just for it.

I didn't note anything so much special about it, but I can get a lot of samples that were got from this album to create great modern hip-hop songs, so I got how much it influences modern songs, reason that I think that justifies the presence of the album in this list. For the album itself, it was a nice experience, but just it.

It's hard to explain, but however this album and "Parklife" have just 1 year of difference, this album is far away from the quality that I got listening to "Parklife". The album itself is fun. They have a lot of good experimentation and the songs are fine.

Listen to this album these days sounds a little bit old, but keeping in mind the importance of public enemy for hip-hop history, it's very easy to note the importance of it. I liked to note how much rock samples were used in these early hip-hop songs. For sure, I'm biased, but I believe that more modern hip-hop songs lost this link with rock songs.

I can't get what the metal scene has with "The prodigy". For me, it's just the basic electronic music with some new beats that didn't make too much to create good songs. This is the second prodigy's album that I get in this project and for the first one I gave 2 stars, but now, just electronic music: nice at the party, bad in my ears. Prefer the metal covers from this album, they are much better than it.

This was simply great! The vocals, the guitar, the drums, the bass, the whole band, the album cover. Even not liking too much the "live" inserts in the middle of the songs, this still is a great piece of modern music. Enough said!

I never listen to it before and reading the Wikipedia article, I got the relevance for John Prine. However, for me, it still looks like a piece of really boring country music. In the best moments of the album, it remembers me of a bad cover of the worst songs from Bob Dylan.

This album is rare. I like very much to listen to these pre-punk albums. Patti Smith is one of my favourites. Great album

This was a nice album, but I don't have too much to say about it. For me, it's far from "Cosmo's Factory" that is also on this list and is much better. Cool classic 70's rock.

How this album could be a 60's/70's album and sounds so modern and fresh? For me, it's a definition of atemporal.

Is this an album for white noises and ASMR aficionados? I didn't get it, absolutely.

Her voice is superb and I'm not able to do any criticism over it. It could be a crime. The album itself is cool, but a little bit repetitive. It's, at least for me, a real document that deserves appreciation and studies over it, for many reasons. However, for an "innocent" session of good music, I believe that we have many other good albums, including some Ella Fitzgerald works.

I don't know if it's just a bad day, but I believe that I prefer much more the first albums of Aerosmith. This one is fine, but just it.

Is there any possibility to give less than 5 stars to it? I don't think so...

I liked Wu-Tang Clan's work, in a group, and also the solo productions that I know. However, this one is a very bad job. I didn't like it at all.

It's too much better than the other Wilco's album ("Being There") that I listened to on this list, but it's still a very normal and correct indie rock album and nothing more. I didn't get all the hype on Wilco, but maybe it's me.

The solo Iggy Pop's career is not my preferred and this album specifically hasn't much to say for me. However, it's still nice to see how these guys that I know as "classic rock" and "proto-punk" sound with many varieties of styles and songs and were soo much "out-of-the-box" even 40 or 50 years ago. Modern bands should learn more of this kind of thing from the old school and not just the bad things.

This is the third "Creedence Clearwater Revival" that I listened to in this list and how this band is inconstant! There are some very good albums like this one and others are so overestimated. In short, I liked it, but there is nothing special besides the greatest hits included in it. Definitively worths it, but the album is like the band, inconstant and unpredictable (some times very good and some times just ok)

This is a very simple classic rock n roll album, but it deserves space on this list and deserves many merits to be what it is. This is not a great album for our "modern" ears, but its importance transcends some "modern" rules and must be analyzed with this in mind.

Just another "conceptual" electronic album that means nothing at all

I liked to know this new hip-hop album, but for me, it's just more of the same thing that I already know. I understand the importance of it in a historical way, but I didn't get much from it

I appreciate seeing an album so fresh (2021) on this list. However, I didn't appreciate the album itself. :-( Just another generic pop/hip-hop/soul.

This is Bob Marley and I'm very happy to see it on the list. This is not the best thing that I listened here, but for sure it fits all the characteristics of a classcial.

I believe that this is the pure definition of a very historical album that sounds "simple" or "old" because of so many things it influenced after its release. The songs are great and the spirit is pure 90's grunge.

Except for the first song that is a hit, just basic

This was a very pleasant experience. Normally, I didn't like any of the songwriter "solo" albums that I got on this list until now. However, this one was a very nice one. Bruce Springsteen still sounds like "song for my parents" style, but sometimes I can enjoy it too. very nice instrumental arranges

For me this is not the best Queen, but for sure is the album that has the best songs.

This is a great album, really. I don't have almost anything to say against it. However, it's too long and does not have a clear "thematic" line. So, when I finished the listening session, I was a little bit tired, even after listening to some of my favorite songs.

Except for the song "Marquee Moon", the whole album looks like any generic post-punk album that was forgotten inside an old box of cassettes in some basement... Reading the Wikipedia article, I got the importance of the album for the movement in that time and the references of New York are nice, but the songs are just normal.

This was a very experimental experience. More than I was expecting when the first song started to play. Personally, I didn't like it too much, but it's very easy to note the virtuosos in the instrumental part and I got why this kind of thing deserves to be on this list. These guys are real musicians and no one can say the contrary. I'll keep my rate in 2 stars just because it's not exactly my kind of thing.

Coutryzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I got her importance, but this kind of music is boring

It's so good to listen to an album that sounds like the band really enjoyed when it was recorded. I'm really not sure if they were really into it, but the album sounds like they were. "Hole" is a band that I knew very broadly and, because of the 2 albums on this list (until now) I'm on the way to becoming a fan

"Free Bird" is a real classic and I believe that this album could be much better for me some years ago. Nowadays, I have more references and some little music knowledge to classify this album as a kind of repetitive classic rock and roll. Not a bad thing, but nothing special.

Another electronic album... the famous songs are worth it, but it is so much longer than it should be.

Wow! Sometimes, this project really surprises me with this kind of thing: An album and even an artist or band that I never heard about before and became a fan instantly. The first song sounds a little bit ~strange~ but when I got the vibe for it, it's a great album with the right number of songs and an excellent set (more songs could be too much)

I liked it, but it's too long for this type of punk/post-punk thing. The Beatles cover is interesting, but kind of the worst thing in the album.

This is not the best Dylan for me, but I should say that the Wikipedia article on the page helped me to understand a little bit more of the importance of this album. Being the "most" personal of Dylan's work, it's increasing my evaluation of it. Musically, it's too much country for me, but it's still Bob Dylan and it counts!

This is a really good album that makes me think about all that 2000s Hip-Hop/soul and wonders where did it all go?

Well, this is Hendrix....enough said

I'm sure that is something that I will enjoy much more in my teenage years. Classic metal with all the pros and cons of this loved music style. "I am the law" is an instant success.

I really don't know how I never listened to this band before. It's exactly the kind of modern rock that I liked very much during my teenage years. I can see a mixture of "Imagine Dragons" and "The Killers" that I'm sure that was a real hype in 2008, however, this is my first experience with "Elbow". Well, even nothing makes sense, the album is just it. That kind of teenage alternative British rock that a lot of people (including me) loves for a period and forget when new songs and music types arrive in our lives.

I never listened to Nick Drake before and his voice is really powerful. I really didn't get all the hype for this album, but I'm could see its importance during the last song when I realized that I was fully immersed in his voice. A small piece of immersive art on this list! Great experience!

This is pure music. I liked it very much. After all the songs, I think that it is a little bit repetitive, but it's so awesome that even this drawback is something good!

This was a very interesting experience. This group has personality and it's different from the majority of the things that I used to listen to and even when compared with the common songs from this list, they have a very distinctive sound. I understand some hate on it, based on the info from Wikipedia, cause they have some controversies in its history, but based only on the music aspects, this was a very nice experience.

Are you serious?

I don't even know how to name this music style? post-grunge? pop-punk? However, this kind of music that remembers me of some rainy afternoon watching "How I Met Your Mother" and eating some pizza deserves some respect.

I know that is my fault, but I don't like almost anything from George Michael. It sounds like a fake in some way that I can't explain. On another hand, listening to his whole album was a good experience. Nothing really changed in my opinion, but I can enjoy a little bit more when I get some of his songs in some random playlist now when I know that this is really not my kind of sound

At the same time that is very easy to listen to anything from "Beatles", it's very hard to evaluate it. This is not an absolutely perfect album, but almost everything that I had to listen to for my whole life had some influence on this kind of thing, so it's absolutely important for my life. I'll finish with 4 starts and without a lot of comments to avoid any injustice. This is the (almost) first album from the band and they have some problems.

Another electronic album, but this time it's a little bit different from the other ones on this list. The first song is a nice one and for it, the album deserves 2 stars for it, but it's just another simple electronic album. For me, it's very hard to note great qualities in this kind of music despite the classical albums (that is not the case of this).

Ok, I've already listened to many songs from Dylan and I always liked them. Using this list, I noted how much he is important for the music industry and for the music evolution in the last decades, even don't find anything perfect for me from his discography yet. This album is by far the best one until now. A little bit long for my taste, but a great piece of songwriting with great music.

The best Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young that I've seen on this list until now. This is not absolutely perfect for me, but it's a kind of rock n' roll that I like very much. Rock, Country, and Blues at the exact level.

This is a lost jewel for me. I've already listen to something about "Earth, Wind & Fire" but I was sure not expecting this album. Great Friday album!

This is the definition of a hidden gem! It sounds so fresh and modern, but also nostalgic in some way. If anyone says to me that this album was recorded yesterday and proposes a "flashback" style, I'll totally believe. For me, the last songs are not so good, but the album itself is a very nice discovery!

It's very cool to see some true reggae songs here on this list and Peter Tosh deserves his place. This is not a perfect album and it's kind of repetitive.

That's interesting to know this album and nowadays it's absolutely obvious their influence on modern rock songs. However, listening to it today, I can't see so many qualities in these songs. They are nice to listen to, but nothing more.

This album is a little bit repetitive, but is impossible to think about any modern hip-hop and don't think about Run DMC, so, it deserves his place on this list.

This is the third "Kinks" on this list and I believe that I'm turning into a fan.

This album has great potential, but more than 1 hour of electronic music is always the worst scenario for me. "call the police" is a very nice song.

It's very interesting to know this different and (at the same time) comfortable new type of song. I believe that it opened my eyes to a whole new world, but it's a world that I already know very well and this is wonderful.

It's very impressive to listen to this album and how it sounds so new. All songs and lyrics still make sense today like when it was released. Punk is still great in the past and today.

If this album is some kind of lo-fi post-punk on purpose, I really didn't get it. To me, it looks like bad songs with the worst recording process. "Jesus and a Mary chain" looks better on paper than in the real world.

Before starting this project I just know one or two of Cohen's songs and know that he was considered a great songwriter. Listening to his songs gave me the opportunity to truly start to like his work. English is not my main language so I'm not able to get all from his songs, however with this second album listened to on this list I start to get why he is so important. One or two more albums and I'll be a real fan. :-)

I liked it, but it's too much generic.

"Ok computer" is so much different than any other Radiohead album that I know. This kind of difference makes sense to how extent this album is famous and recognizes as a great one. It really is a great album besides any comparison with the rest of Radiohead discography.

Everyone needs some kind of 80's flashback songs some days during the year. Ok, this album is just it.

I already listen to about Nick Cave, but I never got the hype on his work and never understood why he is so appreciated. From now on, this album made my mind and I got everything. It's so strong and powerful that I understood exactly all the hype around. I'll keep my radar open for Nick Cave now and I'll also recommend it to everyone. The second part of the album is a little bit repetitive and too much longer for a perfect record, but the first part compensates for any possible "error".

This is the kind of music that deserves 5 stars just because of its existence. It's not the best Jazz album that I listened to here on this list, but that has very good songs with some meaning. The Wikipedia article here is essential to understand the album.

Wow. That was a very good surprise. A lot of mixed rock styles, some of them looking like 60's classics and also some kind of grunge (?) at the end of the '90s. They are not the best in any of these styles and besides some songs, they are not memorable, however, the album looks like a real walk through song style and all very well played. Nothing much more to say. but "Supergrass" will be included in my songs research for the future.

When the album started I think that I was listening to something similar to "Body Count" mixing hip-hop and Hardrock. This is not the best thing in the world, but is pretty cool and I like this type of mix. Along the rest of the album, this changed a lot...what is it exactly? "Water" is an experimental hip-hop song? Even not understand all the album, I liked it. It's a good experience that could be shorter, but it's cool enough to deserve another chance someday and even other albums from the band.

I started this album with 4 stars in my mind. "My generation" deserves 5 stars for its existence and the rest of the album looks like an excellent classic rock album. I finished it with the certainty that the whole album deserves 5 stars. This is not only classical, but it's also raw and it preserves its force even after some decades. Listening to this album as a whole is a real experience to understand the mindset of the 60/70's in a way that just a few cultural products are able to do.

I believe that it's the kind of music from the 2000s that was made to win prizes and not to be enjoyable. "Indie rock" used in its worst connotation.

This was a very nice Christmas gift to listen to. Discover the life history of Phil Spector was a nice bonus (I never heard about him before), but the songs themselves were a great payoff. I hope to keep this project alive in my 2022 to-do list and these songs were a breath to get the greatest albums from the project and also to "enjoy" the worst ones which I'll never understand why they are here. Christmas songs always give me some type of hope and this album was a great piece of Christmas songs

I already knew "White rabbit", but not so much more of the band. I liked it VERY much. I don't have much to say, but it's for sure one of the best psychedelic rock that I've heard until now.

I started this album after reading the Wikipedia page on "Living Colour", so I was with very high expectations. After listening to it, I'm a little bit disappointed, because the mixture of all these music styles could be a great album, but it's just "casual and chills". Maybe I'm biased because I'm sure that this album influenced a lot of bands that I like and so I see just the same song style every day, but how knows. It's a nice album and just it.

I believe that I never will get the hype on Wilco, however, I should give some respect to them (with "Billy Bragg") for this album. I believe that any recovery from classical compositions deserves some respect, even in cases like this album where the result is a little bit repetitive. The Wikipedia page helps to understand who was Woody Guthrie and now I need to know all the other projects from "Mermaid Avenue". Great project, good album

The first songs are very enjoyable. The middle of the album is a little bit repetitive, but nothing too much different from any other Britpop. Finally, the end of the album has a feeling of something more experimental, but still pop. It's not too strange/experimental, but it's not pure Britpop anymore. The album deserves perfect 3 stars.

I mean...it's Bon Jovi. "You give love a bad name"... Start the party!

I got the importance of this album for the music industry and, reading the Wikipedia, I also understood the importance of it in Stones' history. Even noting these things, I didn't enjoy too much this album. I like this "blues" side of the band, but a whole album of blues is not what I was expecting from Rolling Stones. For me, it was a very good opportunity to discover some new songs of this great band, even without like the whole album.

He does not deserve even the 0.000001 cents that I gave to him when I listened to this album on Deezer. However, despite all the "personality" thing, this is a very nice album with some reminiscence of "The smiths" that made a good rock album.

Review this album its a very hard task, since it`s not so revolutionary, but it's still classical. It is too much noise, but not absolutely experimental. I don't know, but this album is an interesting experience, even when I'm not capable of any type of a real analyze.

I'm don't have much to say about this album. It's fun, but this "romantic funky" R&B is not exactly a style that I love. The Wikipedia page about the album is worth it because the album's background is pretty more interesting than the album itself.

Maybe, I'm just remembering the first time when I listened to these songs, but I can't give to it less than 5 stars!

This is a great album. Excellent lyrics and unbelievable instrumental work. I`m very happy to discover more songs from Simon & Garfunkel.

I was expecting much more from this album. For any special reason, the cover and the Wikipedia background gave me some hope of a 70`s classical. Well, it`s not bad, but it`s not anything special too. Good album.

The first song rocks, but the rest of the album is just normal. The last song looks like something that could be happened here, but then the album ends.

It's very interesting to know a little bit more of this so famous "Berlin phase" of Bowie. Actually, I didn't enjoy it too much, however, it's impossible not to note how it influenced modern songs after it.

I had some fun listening to it, but why so long songs? and why so much experimentalism even when the best part is the "classical" one?

I believe that all these albums that remember me of my teenage years turn on some nostalgic critical sense that gives me much less independence. I know that I don't have any idea if these songs are really good, but they were good for younger me and when I listen to them, I respect that opinion.

I'm surprised with this album. I was expecting just some generic electronic samples and basic hip-hop, but I found a very deep album with some really good songs. It's impressive how these songs are recognizable in modern rap/hip-hop songs.

What is pop? This is absolutely pop, but not the low-level pop. These songs are the greatest pop that I've known. +1 point for this project to show me this album.

This is the best Dylan that I got here at this project until now, but I'm wondering that, at the end of the day, I don't like so much of Bob Dylan as I thought. I know that probably is some kind of a crime somewhere in the world, but I prefer his "rock" songs (like some in this album) over his "folk" ones, that is the majority of his work. Maybe, listening to it some other times brings to me new perspectives and I change my mind, but I like this very much of this Dylan album exactly because it sounds less like Bob Dylan for me.

I have some bad vibes with "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" for no good reason. However, listening to this album was a good experience to remember that rock could be just fun, even when the song themes are not exactly about funny things. I really liked it!

I hate the fact that this is an excellent album.

It looks much better as an idea than an actual result. Basic indie rock with

I got the importance of this album for modern hip-hop and its songs are really cool. A little bit repetitive, but still cool!

By coincidence (I guess) I got 2 albums from previous NWA members in sequence (Ice Cube's "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" and this one). This experience let me think about how these two albums are influential for the modern hip-hop culture and how they both sound a bit repetitive after the first songs but also gave to me the perspective on how much this one is better than the Ice Cube's first solo album, even suffering from the same "drawbacks". Dr. Dre brings much freshness to his songs and lets them sound much more atemporal. This is remarkable in this first release.

How to sound exactly like ANY OTHER hard rock band: A handbook

I received "Faith" early this month on this list and while it is "basic", I can get what makes it a classic by its influence on modern pop. This one here it's still "basic", but much more boring. I got the importance of it for George Michael's career and Freedom is an anthem impossible to dislike, however, it's impossible for me to like a whole album based on this only song.

I didn't get anything special from this record. It's cool, but nothing special at all.

This album is much more interesting than I thought when I got it on this list. Maybe too much longer or too much stranger to being a real good album, but it's for this kind of thing that this list exists, right? I'll probably listen to it again someday in the future...maybe with more preparation, I'll be able to understand its strangeness and enjoy it.

Since I know that this album is the "worst" on the list according to the users, I was expecting something really bad, but I didn't find it. It's a strange experience? Sure, but it's not bad, it's just different. I'll give it 4 stars not because I really liked it (it's too much for my taste), but I believe that discovering this kind of thing, even when I don't like it, is one of my main objectives using this site (Electronic music does not count :-P). To list Beatles and Beach Boys again, I really don't need to use any site.

I was expecting too much from this release. It's nice since I already assumed that Bob Dylan is beyond my comprehension, so I can say that the album is not as remarkable as I thought. It's good, sure, but lower expectations could be a good approach to listen to it in 2022 when Bob Dylan is already a Nobel-prized author with so many expectations over his songs. The twist acoustic/electric between the two discs is something strong.

This is good enough to keep my comments on me and just give it 5 stars

I didn't find anything special about this album. It's nice and chill, but nothing more than that.

When I got this album, I just thought "Ok...let me listen to this 1-star album"... However, after listening to the whole album, I was kind of hypnotized by this noise ambiance song with dirty guitars....so, 2 stars are enough for the power of hypnotizing songs, and maybe this is the reason to include the album on this list.

Electronic music is definitively not my cup of tea...However, after listening to it over and over again on this list, I kinda see what makes this type of song important for the music history and concepts at all. At least, this album is not completely annoying

This was an unexpected surprise. I didn't like all the songs, but the whole album is great. I think that this is the first absolutely unknown for me that really deserved 5 stars.

I believe that the beauty of this album resides in the fact that it sounds like the coolest 80's punk and new wave, but in 1977. I'm not sure if it could be considered the precursor of anything special, but for sure it influenced a lot of people that are much more famous for being precursors of this song style. In short, a very cool album with cool songs that sounds much more modern than 1977. This list is working like a charm for my objective of discovering new things that I barely knew that I want to discover.

This week I'm receiving a lot of family pairs albums and this is an interesting situation because on one side is very easy to know the influences of family in some songs, but some other times they look like opposite works (with also makes sense). Independently of family structures, I liked a bit of this album, but it is too much longer and starts to be annoying after the first 5 songs.

This was very unexpected album. Good hip-hop style with some french style embedded into it. Very nice discovery

The 3 last songs almost give this album an extra star, but as a whole, it's just boring as hell.

I swear that I tried to like it because I know about her importance for the music, but I can't, unfortunately. Besides 1 or 2 songs that are nice, the album is nothing my cup of tea at all!

This kind of thing is the reason for my use of this site. It's hard to analyze these pioneering musical works, so I'll just remark that this is something that I'll surely listen to again in the future.

Meh.... a basic new wave without much to say.

When it started I almost don't like it, but after the first songs, I kind of liked this folk album with a strong voice. I'll probably not be a fan of it, but it was good to know a new folk artist beside the clichês around.

"Enjoy the silence" deserves its own place on this list. One of those songs that are so recognizable that is tough to forget. Maybe it's overused and that is the reason it is a classic, but listening to it in the context of the album makes much sense. It's an extremely nice song. The rest of the album? Well, it's nice. Sounds fresh even after more than 30 years and this is a nice thing, but it could be better if it had fewer songs. After all songs, it starts to sound repetitive.

Pretty hard to say if I didn't like it because it's just almost the same country/folk 60's that flood this list so much or if I didn't like it because it sounds exactly like a B-side of Bob Dylan's band and nothing more, but I didn't like it so much.

I was not expecting so much of this and I received exactly what I expected. Nothing special to say about this release

This is the kind of thing that is so unexpected that ends up being a good experience. I'm not a fan of "The divine comedy", but these versions and songs are pretty much cool. They are not quintessential for music, but I already received many worst things on this list, so, this is nice.

Ok, I still don't like electronic music at all, but this is list is trying hard to convince me of the contrary. This is a very nice release. Could be shorter, ending at the tack 5m but still nice.

I know Duran Duran only by reputation and I was expecting much more from this album. In the end, it's just a boring new wave.

This is that kind of jazz album that is nice to listen to one time per year and remember why we have all this buzz around jazz music style. It's easy to understand with albums like that. Reading the Wikipedia page, it turns even more special, with the different times' explanation. The extended version of the album with live recordings is for sure a 5 star. The original one is too short for it, but it's still a gem.

Good discovery of punk ancestry.

I didn't love it, but this is the kind of thing that makes this list worth it. Discover new bands, new songs, new ways of thinking in music. Listening to this kind of "pop tango" was very surprising and also a good experience.

Much less noisy than the other Sonic Youth releases that I got on this list, so, much more enjoyable. I'll not become a fan of the band and I don't consider them so relevant to stay with more than one album on the 1001 list, however, this is a nice album and it's a good way to spend 37 minutes.

Even without really understanding all the reasons, it's easy to recognize a masterpiece when I see one.

Maybe it's a bad day, but I didn't like it too much. There isn't anything particularly bad about the songs, they are just too much the same as any modern hip-hop, but they haven't anything special for me.

It's Queen. It's not the best Queen album, but it's rock!

After two other "Yes" albums, I kinda like these long experimental songs. Nothing much special about this specific, but I believe that now I'm almost understanding all the hype around the band.

I'm very happy to didn't like so much of this album from this genius guitarist but an awful person (at least during the last years).

I already listened to some new releases of this band (actually, I didn't even know that they were a 90's band), but this album sounds so different that I didn't recognize the band as the same as their newer albums. This one is a very nice 90's indie rock with some good songs and a little bit of extravagance. Nothing so remarkable, but a good album for a Friday morning.

I didn't get the meaning of all songs from this album, but it's one of that cases where a classical is easily recognizable.

I liked it, but I kind of annoyed with all these Beatles-like songs. Maybe it's a matter of the day because some days I'm really into it, but not this time. Good album.

I liked much more of the new Slipknot releases, but this first one is not bad at all. It's possible to see all the characteristics that made the band famous since this firsts songs.

This was very impressive and unexpected. I don't remember if I've already listened to something from Todd Rundgren, but this release sounds really great and that is the type of thing that made this 1001 list worth it. A lot of experiments that sound much more modern than some 2000's bands, but still very enjoyable without exaggerated virtuosic. I liked it very much!! It's not 5 stars, just because there is one only song that is kind of exaggerated, but it's almost an essential album.

Reading the Wikipedia page I was expecting a true revolutionary album, but it was very disappointing. Maybe it was revolutionary when it was released, but today, it sounds very generic and not so good electronic rock.

Pretty cool album with some influences that are hard to define, but still with a clear purpose. It's hard to establish that it will some kind of classic in the future, but for sure it will influence the next classics.

I didn't understand it at all, but it's very nice to receive this kind of album here on this list. Just listen to it and it's absolutely impossible does not to note the importance and influence of these songs in almost everything I listen to every day. The language, the drums, and everything else is recognizable in some way Unexpected surprise, not understandable, but very cool!

It's the second PJ Harvey album that I got on this list. Until now, I'm still not in the hype, but it's a nice album, nothing so much special about it.

Am I listening to a 70's heavy metal? Or maybe a true hard rock band from the '80s? Maybe, it sounds a little bit like an English indie rock from the 2000s? I'm not sure if I liked the whole album because it's a little bit longer than I normally like, however, it's impossible to not say that it looks like a real trip in rock history and a well-done trip.

I'll help to keep this album in the first place of "Highest Rated Albums" on the site. Nuff said!

I didn't think I was going to like this album, but I did somehow. The strings and flutes with that strong voice are kind of mesmerizing.

This is the third album from Roxy Music that I get on this list and it's very impressive how different they are from each other. This one it's absolutely the best one. Very sharp melodies and good experimentation without loss of quality on the songs where they are more "classic". I probably need to go back and listen to again "Roxy Music" and "For Your Pleasure", just to check if I lost something the first time because this band really rocks (apparently)!

So strange and so recognizable...I liked it, but it's not anything so special. Maybe another day I'll give it another try just to check.

Country musicians ruining country music since always

Interesting for the first 2 songs, then a deep and strange valley with some not-so-good things that made me think what was happening, and finally a calm end with a very beautiful melody. My definition of a 3 stars album. I like to receive things from the 2000s that I didn't know anything about.

The worst of two worlds. Electronic elevator songs.

One of the best things in following this 1001 albums challenge is this kind of discovery. I never heard about "The Gun club" before, but this early post-punk is becoming one of my preferred things to listen to these days. Great discovery!

I believe that I had never listened to Bee Gees with attention before. This is a nice album and looks a little bit different from what I expected. It's still recognizable as Bee Gees, but it's purposely fancier. I probably never listen to it again in a row, but some songs maybe.

Fouth "The Kinks" that I get on this list and it's the worst one. I don't even know why, but it does not have any remarkable song. It's not all bad, but the other albums from the band on this list are much better.

This is exactly what I was expecting when I receive the album this morning. I'm not sure if this is good but at the same time, it attends to my expectations. Well, I don't know, maybe my expectations were not good enough.

I didn't get the hype over this album. For me, it just sounds like old pop. Sounds old today as it probably sounded in 1989.

A bunch of styles in the same album and I'm not sure if it should be the main feature of this album. Mixing a lot of things in a consistent way is pretty hard...and this album is not so good at doing it. It's not absolutely bad and some songs are nice, but the lack of personality is the opposite of what I expected from Beck.

This is pretty impressive. One of the best new albums (for me) that I got on this project, for sure. A little bit strange in the last songs, but still impressive!

I'm sure that this is an essential hip-hop album and it listens to it in 1992 probably was a great thing. 30 years later (!!!), it sounds like a very good hip-hop album, which is also impressive, but not so impressive as it was in the 90s.

After 330 albums on this list, things start to get a pattern. Sometimes I enjoy finding out some cool non-English albums (even being so few in the book) and sometimes I spent the whole week listen "the same thing". Then...this! It's very strange to note how a 50 years album can be so refreshing. I don't know if it's a pre-punk, metal, or anything, but it's very good!!

I'm not a fan of Neil Young, but for sure this is the best album that I listened to from his work. It sounds like everyone involved really wants to be there playing those songs! Amazing!

I believe that I have never listened to so much electronic music as the last year following this list. After so many electronic albums I can confirm each time that it's not my cup of tea! Absolutely! It's not the worst genre, I kinda like a few songs, but these artists insist on these 1-hour long releases with almost the same thing that even at a party will be boring for everyone.

I liked the other Cohen albums that I listened to along this list, but this specific one I didn't like too much. It looks like a poetry reading session more than an album. Maybe I'm not in the vibe.

Well...I don't know what it is. I don't dislike it, but also don't like...I want to rate it with 3 stars, but it's too strange to be "medium"...

Altough this is not hardcore, I liked it. It's steal too indie to be great, but it's nice

This is not exactly my favorite genre of music (this kind of pure countryish rock) but isn't possible to deny the influence of this album on modern music. This is not essential to listen to it, but it makes me understand some things much better.

I didn't expect to like this album so much. I was expecting some old-style hip-hop or maybe some kinda 90's-ish melodies that I like but it's not the best thing that we have from this style. However, I found a strong record of what I consider modern hip-hop, even with some proto-trap if I exaggerate a bit. The lyrics are not the best of what I like, but I git the album idea. The greatest problem for me is the length, it's too long, but it's still great.

It sounds a little bit dated, but still one of the best punk records of all time!

I feel that someone put the 80s in a mixer and just put the result in my ears. The worst part is that I kinda liked this amorphous slime of nostalgia.

A long time ago, this was one of my favorite albums, and listening to it after some years brings me some very good memories. However, now I can note that this album does not deserve 5 stars because it's a little bit dated... Who cares...this is a 5 ;-P

This was a very different experience. I never heard about "John Grant" or about this album. However, during my listening session, almost all the songs were so recognizable that was a scary situation, although almost all songs are very nice. I was reading the (short) Wikipedia page looking for some information about the use of these songs in movies or things like that and my search was unfruitful. My only conclusion is: This album is excellent in mimicking exactly my preferred indie-ish songs from the 2000s and I liked it more than I tough at first.

In the first song, I thought that it will be another annoying electronic music album with the same song for 1 hour. However, after this annoying introduction, all the other songs are pretty good. Some indie pop mixed with rock and hip-hop which is very nice to listen to. Not quintessential for me, but nice to listen during the morning!

I was expecting much more from this release when I received it this morning. It's not bad, but far from something really remarkable for me.

This is a very impressive record with much more consistency than I thought at first. I already knew "Mr. Blue Sky" and some other songs, but never had listened to it as a whole album and it makes much sense listening to it in this way. The final result is a little bit repetitive, but it's definitively a great album.

This was totally unexpected for me. Based on the cover and album name, I expected something absolutely different. And I loved it!! It was a great piece of music! The lyrics are exactly fit for the chords, the songs are great and everything works like a charm on almost all songs. I'm reaching 350 albums at this challenge and I was missing this kind of completely unknown album that deserves 5 stars.

This was a great surprise. An album with a soul!

Because of my last experience with Massive Attack, I was expecting a 1-star album with annoying electronic music that just takes too long to be enjoyable. I'm happily surprised that this was not exactly the case. It's still far from my preference for music, but I didn't hate these 45 minutes as I expected before. I believe that the hip-hop and reggae influence in some songs helped a lot to be an almost enjoyable album.

Ok. It's nice for a 1-hour long guitar solo.

Maybe i'm not in the right vibe for it, but it sounds like a very generic 90's pop rock.

This was absolutely unexpected for me. Totally different from Simon's previous works, with a lot of influence from other song styles, and very nice songs. The kind of album that shines in the crowd of mediocre albums around. However, for me, it's still far from a perfect record. It lacks a little bit of Simon's personality. It's easy to note the importance of the album and how it resounds even these days in pop music.

It was nice to listen to this first Eagles release, but for me, this album is the definition of "not so bad and not good enough". A perfect 3 stars album.

It's strange to listen to an album that I never heard about, even recognizing almost every song. This could be good or bad depending on the listener. In my case, this is good. An unknown classical

Is this just a REM from an alternate universe where every song is not so good?

Musically impeccable. For me, this album almost deserves 5 stars. The only problem is the lack of variability among the songs. They are amazing, but it looks like a 40 min long song instead of an album. This is the second "Dire Straits" that I got on this list and it's much better than the other one. The guitar here is incredible.

The exact same (absurdly amazing) hard rock song for 1 hour. I didn't have the right feeling to really enjoy this live album, but it's very likable and impossible don't to note how much influent (also influenced by their predecessors) it is. Somedays I miss hard rock like this, even not being so good

I never heard about Spiritualized and didn't have much information about "space rock", but I loved this album. The last songs are a little bit exaggerated for my taste, but the first songs are more than a good reward to receive for these last songs. I rate it with 4 stars for the whole album, but absolutely 5 stars for the first half of the album. It's very nice to note that the late 90s (that I lived and liked very much) still have these hidden gems to find out.

Nothing so much different from ordinary independent 90's rock with the addition of a little bit more screaming. Probably it was kind of revolutionary for 1992. Nothing so bad, but not memorable!

Apparently, the 1001 book's author was very into electronic (and related synth styles) music when he/they wrote the book. I'm reaching 1 year following 1 album per day and it's almost impossible to spend 1 month without some electronic album. Well, about this album itself, it's kind of amusing. It's hard for me to say that I liked it, but it's not annoying like some other electronic albums. I hope to learn more about this style and finally get what is all about and why so many electronic/synth albums like this one are important for music history.

It was a very unexpected album. I already heard "Paper Planes", but the rest of the album was very interesting. Normally, I don't like a high mixture of styles exactly because it gives less personality to the album, but this one was an exception. The different styles of music are used in the right place.

Altough a little bit repetitive, it's not a bad release. It's funny because some songs from the same decade sound so fresh and songs like those from this album sound so...old fashion. This is not necessarily bad, there are plenty of old-fashioned songs that are still great in 2022. These ones are fine but not great and that's nice. Sometimes, we need to listen to nice songs that are not classical quintessential music. She had a great and powerful voice. I'll probably look for other releases from her.

It was very nice (and unexpected) to get utterly instrumental jazz that does not look like a revolution or something like that. I didn't expect this "normal" jazz album on this list. It was a pretty lovely album and it's worth it, for sure although I believe that I'm suspect. This is the exact type of song that I like to discover.

This is another of that cases where is pretty hard to rate. While this is classical and influenced almost everything, it's also a little bit repetitive. I need to give it 4 stars, even knowing that it should be 5.

I think that I'm in a classical week! I know Sam Cooke by name but I never heard a whole album from him and now I have a new favorite album for my list of best albums. Nuff said!

This is a nice album that became classical for obvious reasons.

For sure, this was a classical week themed on this site. Unfortunately, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is not exactly my cup of tea. I have already tried some times; I got all their influence in modern music, and I like a lot of some solo production from the quartet, but the releases when they are all together, they are just ok.

It was a lovely album for a Monday morning. Nothing exceptional, but listening to some salsa here is very warming. Four stars

This is one of my favorite albums since I understand my kind of music. Impossible to dislike it.

This album is refreshing and repetitive in the same proportion. I enjoyed it, and I'm annoyed by the similar songs around the whole thing. Overall, from my perspective, this is an excellent Strokes' album, but it's far from their best.

This album probably was very "revolutionary" in 2001 and still sounds like it. It's not the best thing from this list, and it's even not the best Gorillaz work, but this mix of electronic music (that I don't like) with some rock spicy is catching! It's one of the good examples of how to use technology in favor of the songs, instead of just playing repetitive sounds forever and calling it music. I hope the current versions of the book also include the most recent works from the band. We deserve more.

The first part of this album is far from what I expected from The stooges. It sounds much more like something post-punk than punk itself. However, the last songs...wow...that saxophone made some difference (I love it), but the whole energy in these songs is excellent... a remarkable punk recording.

Being an "Every Breath You Take" specialist when the subject is The Police, I must say that this album impresses me with its variety of songs and styles, keeping the same 80's vibe that is pretty recognizable. It's far from perfect, but it is a lovely album and a good mood to start Monday.

This is the "less" punk of the Stooges albuns that I've listened to on this list. I miss the crazy Saxophone from "The Fun House." Altough this is already a preview of Iggy's solo career that I tend to like, I must classify it as a good album, but not excellent. "Search & destroy" is the best song, but the rest of the album is good.

I know Ray Charles is a genius, and I'll increase my rate here to four-star based on that information. The album itself is ok, a lovely piece of music. Nothing much more
