1001 Albums Summary

Solid, great songwriting, great performance by MJ, one of the best albums of the 80’s.

A decent blues album. Unfortunately I don’t particularly care for Eric Clapton’s guitar playing.

Great listen! So many great moments, some energetic, some poignant and beautiful.

Some beautiful and heartfelt statements by George Michael.

Wow Norah!!! Beautiful stuff, great songwriting, great performance.

Cool, experimental. Important. It was interesting hearing this early version of new wave music, but the songs themselves were a bit too meandery for my taste.

Fantastic. What a band, what a sound, such great writing and performance by everyone.

Great album, classic, a must-listen for metal heads!

A mainstay to the 80’s new wave movement, that absolutely rocks hard!

Exquisite songwriting by Paul as usual. Could’ve used some higher energy numbers, but a very good debut effort by him!

I had never listened to a Slipknot album before, and this seems like the perfect place to start! Great metal record, with plenty of contrast and interesting compositions to keep the listener engaged!

Hey, I get the appeal. It’s a collection of what are now considered classic renditions of Christmas songs, perfectly capturing the sound of the 60’s.

This album just felt… half-baked. Like an unfurnished apartment. I needed more than this. Not sure what kind of statement they were trying to make but.. it doesn’t speak to me.

Erykah has such a voice, but literally and figuratively. So creative, such a great vocalist, and a great vibe all around.

What is there to say? An all time classic, a game-changer for the genre of jazz, and a huge leap into the unknown by Trane. 5/5

Interesting album. Nice sound design. Great for a specific mood, otherwise the album just felt sleepy to me. Very unique sounding though!

This album is a classic for a reason. An absolute masterpiece start to finish, amazing compositions and performances by everyone involved. One of the great concept albums.

Very interesting album! Nice blend of African rhythms and 90’s production. I’m really curious as to the meaning behind the lyrics, and will have to do some digging on my own.

Some nice moments, but this album was just lost on me. I didn’t get it, maybe need to understand it in context. Kinda boring. Songwriting didn’t feel that interesting to me.

Decent album. I have no desire to listen to it again, but then it doesn’t help that I’m not the biggest Stones fan. I just don’t find their music very intelligent. Does not speak to me.

I’m biased because I LOVE Radiohead, but this album captures a lot of what I love about them, especially the contrast between somber moments and crazy, driving, soundscapy moments.

Unexpected great listen! Loved the energy on this record, the songwriting, the way it rocks hard it it’s own way!

One of the worst albums I’ve ever heard. Nails on a chalkboard. No clue what it is doing here.

Very silly album. Kinda bizarre. But it had me chuckling.

Was not too familiar with Sheryl Crow’s works before hearing this album. It was truly the perfect introduction to her. Excellent songwriting, a truly original voice.

It blows me away that Tom Sholz recorded and produced this album in his basement, in the 70’s, and it sounds like this. Amazing quality, and not to mention Boston ROCKS HARD! I love this album, and it’s a classic for a reason!

I recognize one of the songs from family guy. Other than that, did not know much about this artist going in. Some really nice stuff in here!

Incredible album. Alice In Chains, easily one of the greatest rock bands ever, and possibly the greatest grunge band to exist. Great songs, love the dark energy they radiate. Chef’s kiss!

Very interesting album, very experimental.

Decent stuff, very folksy. Not really my vibe.
