1001 Albums Summary

aight. heard most of the singles before but kinda forgettable overall

meh, title track is kinda interesting but otherwise unremarkable

Pretty boring overall. the worse version of the title track. why is a Portuguese album on this list

why am I getting albums in Portuguese.

Revolutionary hip hop. kinda like a mix of Gil Scott heron and rage against the machine. no stand out song unfortunately

I think there are other more interesting singles from them but not a bad album

weird foreign concept albums stay weird

The first really good album I've been given that I haven't heard already. 4.5

Its okay. hella white person music. you can tell a lot of 80's rock (like Boston) were inspired by them. 3.5

I can only say this so many times, weird foreign albums stay weird. At least this one is in English

Damn good album. def heard it before but still really good. kinda falls off halfway through though

pretty meh. stopped like halfway through because it was boring. at least it was in English

groovy 80's pop. kinda fun but not super memorable

shockingly good. the third song and Chicago are great songs and the whole album is kinda a vibe. Definitely an album to come back to 4.5/5

pretty boring. stopped listening towards the end

this sucks. I had to stop because it got annoying

pretty cool edm album. Definitely worth coming back to

real smooth jazz. nothing stands out as good or bad

cheesy 80s pop. not bad but not great either. no song stood out to me

so good. so very good

way too long and not his best work, but there's def some good songs there

really good album. already heard. 4.5 because it isn't new but definitely worth revisiting every once in a while

It's a live metal concert. Definitely not my cup of tea but probably not bad if that's what you're into

didn't bother listening to very much, what I heard wasn't interesting

its a fine rock album. honestly better than I expected it to be but still nothing crazy to write home about

Its just a bunch of weird instrumentals. Not totally sure why this is so big. Again, if I was a big music theory guy I'd probably like this more than I do rn.

pretty good blues album. more poppy than bluesy. 3.5

exactly what you think it is album cover is badass too

not really a grudge guy but not bad. Most of the songs I know are from this one.

Might be cool if you're really into music theory and that type of thing but not for me

Not really my type of music. I think if you really dig into it, it could be really good but I don't really feel like it

Some good songs. early Beatles definitely not as interesting as later Beatles 3.5

damn good. most of his best songs come from this one.

Classic R&B, a step down from his best but still damn good

not interested

old school rap Lead sounds like a better version of Danny brown but there's nothing really interesting here

French coffee house music

"when love breaks down" is actually a pretty good song but I don't like the music otherwise

Pretty good, the lead singer is very talented. Kinda cheesy 70's romance pop. 3.5

Actually much better than I expected. Baba O'Riley and Wont get fooled again stand out. Lead singer sounds like Paul McCartney

first few songs are pretty fun. rest of the album is pretty boring

this is amazing. Its this weird sexual ballad fusion

real soulful but not much else. nothing really stood out but I kinda vibe

just so very average. a bit better than I expected but still unimpressive

super meh

I'm not in love with this album like a lot of people are. I think its fairly interesting but more so as a point in music history as opposed to good in and of itself

real punk rock. not necessarily my cup of tea but actually pretty good 3.5

Also punk but the "rough instrumentation party punk rock" as opposed to "hardcore protest against anything punk rock"

pretty good grunge record. kinda like a pop version of garbage.

also pretty good. hard rock/soft metal album 3.5

pretty good for a motorcycle rock band

low key jazz band. 2.5/5

I thought I might like it but I really don't. It's just annoying but also weirdly popular

Sounds like system of a down. not necessarily my cup of tea but actually not bad. 3.5

the album as a whole is pretty good pop music but "You Oughta Know" carries it hard

the first couple of songs are ok but the rest is legit bad

not that great. this band definitely has better music. 2.5

its Irish folk music?

just so uninteresting

Im not even going to listen to this.

same as echo and the bunnymen, just so boring I quit after a few songs

a step down from purple rain but still real good

better than I expected but still pretty meh. its pop/instumentals as opposed to like metal 2.5

not totally sure why this is here. it isn't bad or anything, its actually pretty decent lofi/electronic music 2.5

some old schoolish country

fine

Its jazz. Honestly better than I expected since I don't like the genre very much but nothing I would return to very much

its fine. I guess its alt rock? not totally sure 2.5

B R A S I L low-key better than expected. OG Taj Mahal comes from this album

pure edm each song is like 12 min not bad though

one of the weirdest inclusions on this list just really basic 90s electronic from a group that didnt do anything afterwords

I've heard this before but one of the easiest 5s on the list. Such a good and important rap album

very okay. has two of their best songs but just not very interesting to me

the title track is amazing. for the most part the rest of the album is pretty good but its short plus there's two random live songs

pretty darn good. a weird amount of the best songs come in the second half but tbh this album was better than I expected

better than the other miles Davis album. honestly could see myself listening to this every once in a while

much more relaxed than grohl's later stuff but pretty good

chill countryish music 2.5

not totally sure how to categorize this. kinda blue grass I guess. 2.5

Metallica is def good but Im unfortunately not a fan of metal

mediocre British alt rock 2.5

on the slower side but pretty darn good 3.5

I really don't like this

unpolished rock. Irish? lead singer

all around slightly above average but I don't really get why it made the list

the most Kanye album ever

it sounds like pretty good video game/movie music

its kinda like a better version of Boston 2.5

its like a better version of the band from Scott pilgrim

a bit to avante garde to be called just ambient music 2.5

buddy holly being buddy holly 2.5

classic j but nothing really stands out 3.5

its metal

Jesus Christ its actually 69 songs long. unfortunately the beginning doesnt seem to be very good

really cool. kinda like MF Doom type spoken word rap but with modern beats

its house/electronic I guess felt kinda long even though it wasn't 2.5

I like it a bit more than the other album 3.5

starts off really strong but gets kinda boring towards the end 3.5

way better than I thought it'd be. Incredibly impactful at the beginning and end

in a word: soulful. just so smooth and sly

boring electronic music. some guy says "it'd be over if James Bond was hispanic"

I don't like rush

Its very chill reggae but not really very interesting 2.5

very top heavy album 3.5

I'm not in love with Hendrix in general. the album as a whole is like a 2.5-3 but along the watchtower brings it up to 3.5

I surprisingly good considering how pretentious people make bob Dylan out to be. the beginning of the album is the best part

there are a couple of really good songs but the album as a whole is kinda boring

pretty good blues

chill country. don't like that second half 2.5

really plain hair-metal

starts strong. ends real weird. 3.5

Live spoken word jazz?

its classic Sinatra but none of his best stuff 3.5

not good bad

French background music

its pretty good start to finish. classic rock

cheesy pop

its like singer songwriter music but with weird instruments

its a multi cultural hudgepodge but nothing is really good

punk rock

cheesy 80s disco pop. has girls just wanna have fun on it 2.5

meh. feels uninspired and uninteresting

good ol country

its like a bad mix of le Tigre and Caribbean music 1,5

one really good song and the rest are meh 3.5

cheesy 80's pop with the famous song at the end. didnt really vibe

chill indie experimental vibes 3.5 "Fine for now" intro is a bit logic just ripped and sped up for a song

its like dark side but less erratic

revisit this album. too early to form an opinion but I am intrigued

2.5 it sounds like a mix of video game music and boston

didnt like not good

more boring than expected

kinda groovy ngl 3.5

2,5 how was this important enough to be on this list?

I don't really get The Beach Boys 2.5

toy story guy makes an album about Ohio

they're better musicians that their name would make you expect. they're exactly the lyrics you'd expect

hard to find on Spotify but pretty good 3.5

kinda boring tbh 2.5

not as good as the other album it recommended

not really my cup of tea but also not bad especially the end

the first song is ripped for the bebop opener 2.5

not as creamy as I thought its was going to be

Abi dada music

4.5

don't really like

chill piano music

actually quite nice thoughtful indie

pretty forgettable 2.5

its the guy who sings hallelujah the end has some interesting ideas but overall pretty weak

its like a rock ballad made by a horny tenacious d fan

kinda worse than chop Sui

3.5 good not great but definitely some fun songs

old school cool white people blues

not that bad 2.5

Irish soft punk rock 2.5

old school punk where is my mind is the standout track

classic Dylan folky rock 3.5

spacey psychedelic lofi you can see how this inspired later indie 3.5

one of the oddest inclusions for this list new enough where it isn't very influential not very good not even particularly popular

better than I expected the single is really good but not really a bad track

wasn't super impressed really short album (like 5 songs)

shockingly good the middle gets slow but there are a lot of bangers to go around 4.5

pretty good jazzy piano + soulful white woman vocals

metal

average has the one song

pretty meh has the one song 2.5

old school mellow country 2.5

wut lmao 1.5

really fun latin music 4.5

mid singer songwriter 2.5

classic punk listen to corona

kinda hard to rate as a whole but heaven is low-key really good

cheesy 80s rock seminal album 3.5

abbey road + death cab for cutie + Illinois 3.5

one of the weirder albums to add to this list 1.5

dark but a really monotonous nothing album

pretty good, especially for a live album 3.5

pretty chill rock has some country influence but you can hear why people want to hear this live

ethnic music but doesn't really sound too interesting

never heard an album before where the singer holds vowel sounds for so long

one of the great rock albums

really bad instrumental music

hard to judge like the other album but still good 3.5

I get that the later stuff is good but I don't know if I would put it on this list 2.5

punk fucking rock

It looks like he wants to be avant-garde but it really doesn't feel very creative

weird mix of white people indie and Indian music

spacey atmospheric music 2.5

its Christmas songs from a bunch of Motown era artists 2.5

very reminiscent of neutral milk hotel

not really a fan its like punk but in the underground sense, not the vibes

very dramatic, haunting music 3.5

old school punk "rough instrumental punk" not "fuck the machine" 2.5

I get that it is supposed to be spacey and ethereal but it just kinda sounds like nothing

pretty meh nothing stands out 2.5

British prog rock 2.5

Irish jig music

90s beats but better instrumentation 3.5

its like punk and actually kinda better than expected but the group's look grosses me out

my chemical romance - esque emo rock 3.5

not the bob Marley album I would have put on this list

very clearly early queen you can see where they are going but no track stands out

not really a fan the first song sounds like a cat Stevens remix

I really thought kd lang referred to an old school rapper and not a white country lady pretty chill though

not the best Kanye album despite what tryhards may say Definitely good though

I like the more chill songs more than the more aggressive ones this album also feels like a precursor to their hits

BIG IRON ON HIS HIP

we already know this one is a 5

not for me the guitar is really mixed out of all the tracks

very clearly talented but I just don't get Beyonce last tracks are a bit better though 2.5

the first Elvis album Definitely feels like it its very funny to see how many songs are covers 2.5

still not a huge 2pac guy some of the end tracks were pretty good though 2.5

spacey instrumental music man should have been born when computer synths were more abundant

old swingy-type music pretty fun 3.5

metal metal metal 2.5

really makes you understand what a jam band is

don't remember liking very much

raw rock and roll but in a good way some of the guitar licks are especially good

I enjoyed title track is a very good primer for the album as a whole

a weird amount of modern music on this list are avante garde stuff no one listens to this wasn't so bad though, like a less good grizzly bear

wow this album leaves an impact country influence but way more than that

kinda boring the lead female singer has a weird nasal thing that you hear every once in a while like Cher but more subtle

pretty good hard to pin to a genre funny how he wrote hallelujah considering his rendition isn't very good 3.5

this is pretty annoying from beginning to end 1.5

there are definitely songs I like here but its hard to listen to when its not on Spotify

its a lot of synth loops but not very fun

pretty chill feels like it would be more fun to listen to live at a bar 3.5

pretty chill but very forgettable 2.5

textbook 2

grating voices

I really enjoy more than I thought I would 4.5

shockingly short pretty much what you expect

pretty good overall not just "bittersweet symphony the album" 3.5

pretty good pop r&b to start last 1/3 sucks

very bland

British rock band that sounds like they really want to be David bowie 2.5

not very good rock lobster is silly though

definitely one of his better albums but defined more so by the famous songs rather than overall quality 3.5

its like his work with the smiths but more boring

its like early father John misty

its a bunch of 80-90 hip hop beats 2.5

2.5

not very good

pretty slow but so smooth 3.5

so weird but really cool

there are like 3-4 REALLY good songs but also so much filler as well

similar to the last album but I don't like the filler as much 3.5

African tribal music pretty low-key background music

one of the great rock albums no bad songs and some unbelievable hits too

a bunch of cowboy music

above average metal album

an album I already revisit all the time

pretty good overall 4.5

pretty good imo

it has the definitive nas song interesting that it goes for quality over quantity

not really a fan the only thing he has going for him is a really unique voice 2.5

I quite like actually its like a more country version of old Harrison

really bland

really cheesy but in the bad way

kinda weird that they have 2 albums on this list

shockingly, fire and rain are not THAT much better than the rest of the album

its the one with the famous cover kinda funny how the cover doesn't match the music London calling and lost in the supermarket are good

weirdly ahead of its time jam band

I just don't really like rem very much

very chill but forgettable vibes

so I have no idea why they named the album this because the last thing I think of is a rainbow its super rough, scratchy instrumentals but actually not bad 3.5

classic Hendrix there isn't really a standout track though

I like runaway but the album as a whole is kinda bleh

springsteen is an auto 4 but only the end stands out

its Caribbean jams 2.5

very white people blues Eric Clapton is cool tho 3.5

starts strong but is ultimately weaker than some of their other albums 3.5

a bunch of slow cowboy music 2.5

real soulful but all the songs go on for a while

cheesy but in the not fun way

not as good as the album that follows

kinda weird and cool definitely had an influence on later artists 3.5

very 2020 but the subdued vibe mixed with the vocals hits

another one of the weirder inclusions on this list British rock I guess

annoyingly similar to the one preceding

goes hard as fuck 4.5

I feel like I just listened to an hour of nazi propaganda

better than the first Elvis Costello on this list 2.5

very reminiscent of "hard days night" for like half the album rough early white people rock the other half 3.5

not great but not bad either

pretty cool start to finish

not a very good bowie lazarus is really cool though 2.5

has the one good song but otherwise unremarkable

very forgettable

surprisingly not very good outside of paint it black

the first 8 songs are like a compilation of their greatest hits 3.5

very rough around the edges (intentionally) kinda like a photo black midi with punk lyrics

just bad 1.5

background music

I still just don't get the appeal of her Definitely belongs just due to popularity

pretty short kinda neat 2.5

modern r&b but kinda a weird add not very notable

not as good as the beatles 2.5

Surprisingly good at the start kinda "new radicals-esque" early indie rock vibes 3.5

very of its time

crazy album to start your music career with

god its so smooth

background music

this is hysterically bad technically British rap

old school country Surprisingly good for 1964 2.5

the first 2 songs are good the rest are early campfire fold

white girl pop folk

chill beats with lady Portuguese vocals

one of the most heart wrenching albums of all time

the beginning is neat but it gets boring fast 2.5

first half goes CRAZY feels super long towards the end super influential to 90s rap and protest music

kinda bland but you can hear how Radiohead evolved on this

not as good as the other smiths albums but pretty listenable all the way through 3.5

its like a French opera

Definitely a bongo album

doesn't leave the impact that jungle land did but still good

old school 90s rap 4.5

similar to Kraftwerk 1.5

background music 2.5

real groovy

way more brass band than I expected 3.5

Unbelievably 90s 2.5

its like magical mystery tour but less lsd 4.5

pretty good but not Chris Cornells best album 3.5

crazy soulful good all the way through 4.5

just bland

meh, the other one was better 2.5

way too long first song is decent though

doesn't overstay its welcome Surprisingly unremarkable after the song 3.5

not his best work but what you expect

super forgettable

feels like they're copying a ton from The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, and the Beatles

soft rock is a good description she also wrote fast car which is cool 3.5

kinda all over the place genre wise also holy shit the lyrics of "money for nothing" are not okay 3.5

like a more heartbreaky, less depressed version of nine inch nails 3.5

pretty darn good for a first album 3.5

starts very strong but gets weak quick 3.5

very bland early rock 2.5

nothing interesting here besides the first song

punk raging 2.5

isn't that great but you also get why people love it

mid talking heads

very forgettable

notable for their place in history, not their music

pretty fun hard to separate how much is being stolen from the art though 3.5

the album as a whole minus A very cellular song isn't very good 2.5

nothing stood out 2.5

eh

very good start to finish

pretty melancholic

less jazzy version of tribe freedom is the s

doesn't get a 1 because paper planes is a bop

bleh

coffee house jazz

not as spectacular as some of his other work 3.5

legit old school blues 3.5

she has exactly one really good song and its not on this album 2.5

old school punk

strong start to finish late 80s early 90s rock with just a bit of country mixed in

coffee house jazz starts good then falls off

really good highs but kinda boring lows

actually really good kinda like the kinks or the who but more consistent 4.5

mid considering how famous some of the songs are

not particularly note worthy outside of 7na 2.5

similar to a less horny divine comedy very ballady 2.5

his first album the best songs aren't on it 2.5

very pleasant country but without all of the annoying parts 4.5

pretty neat very bowie inspired 3.5

one of the classic rock albums just not my taste though 3.5

Background music 2.5

a couple of songs stand out but the highs aren't too high and the lows too low 3.5

punk/grunge bleh

hard to know which album is the right one both are kinda mid though

definitely a late 60s album no real songs to latch on to

has a cinematic quality to it but doesn't really hold your attention

early indie pop record same lane as grizzly bear

another indie album this one gets recommended all the time by Spotify

their hits live 2.5

its not thriller but the first couple of songs make it pretty clear how he got there

really early hip-hop there are interesting parts here and there but groove is in the heart is the obvious standout
