1001 Albums Summary

Already loved this album!

Not what I expected from Elvis. I mostly his hits and so I was pleasantly surprised by this more country/soul album. Not being that familiar with the genre I would say it reminds me of Orville Peck, who, of course, must have been greatly influenced by this sound. I may need to explore this genre more...

Already love this album. Mix of industrial and new wave.

I liked a few of the songs, but haven't really ever been able to connect with Steely Dan.

This album is more soulful and laid back than some of her other ones. I didn't immediately get into it, but I see how influential it was/is.

I don't immediately love this album, but after a few listens I am really starting to enjoy it.

Not my usual genre of music, but I enjoyed it.

Great production, skilled lyricism, and catchy hooks! Despite all the controversy it is hard to argue that this album doesn't sound great. Brings me back to middle school.

Can't say I've really heard anything like this. It's a little hard to get into, but I appreciate how unique/innovative it is.

I'm not sure how I have never heard this album. I also can't believe it is over 50 years old! This is an amazing electronic album that takes the listener on a journey.

Good flow from one song to the next. Not my favorite Doors album, but pretty solid.

Solid rock and roll album.

Good classic rock album. Nice blend of hard rock and softer ballads.

Great blend of reggae, funk, world music! Very engaging and fun.

Not my typical genre, but enjoyable R&B.

Good R&B. Not my typical genre, so nothing really stood out to me.

Another weird funk rock album by Funkadelic. I like about half of the tracks, but there are some others I could take or leave.

Not really a fan of the vocals, but some of the riffs are interesting. I also wish the songs were longer and a little more dynamic. I understand why this album is important, but it's not my cup of napalm.

Great classic hip-hop. A little jazzy. Great lyrics, good beats. Solid all around!

Decent early 2000s "indie" rock sounding album.

Great example of soul/motown! Love the basslines and vocal harmonies!

Pleasant folk/poppy album. Some of the songs sounded familiar, and some were definitely covers. Not bad, just not my style.

Great mix of funk, soul, R&B (& maybe a little disco)! Great voice and danceable basslines.

Great early psychedelic/rock! I will need to listen to more of their music.

Good example of "classic" country / country rock. Easy listening, but not super captivating.

Good new-wave, psychedelic sound. Must have influenced The Smiths at least somewhat. I will need to give this more listens.

Great piano and composition work. A little softer than I prefer, but pleasant.

Solid example of indie/alternative/college rock from mid 90's. My issue is that the songs are too short to be memorable. I like the ideas, but I wish there 1/3 of the number of songs with each being 2 - 3 times longer.

Love this album! Such a unique fusion of different influences.

Enjoyable folk rock.

Very pleasant/pretty indie rock? Good production and instrumentation.

Awesome post-hardcore type sound, but in the early 90s! Must have been big influences on bands like At the Drive In and Thursday. Love the intricate guitar work and unique vocals.

Great mid 90s melancholy alt rock!

Great orchestral re-imagining of Metallica classics! Very cinematic

Cool alt rock. Some of the songs have a surf-rock type vibe.

Excellent combination of hip-hop, soul, R&B!

Pleasant folk/country/americana. Not my typical style, but very beautiful.

Nice folk rock.

Great lyricism. Solid RZA production.

Bluesy rock-n-roll similar to Rolling Stones. Solid album for band I had not heard of before.

Chill electronic/trip-hop vibes.

Interesting mix of classic rock and new wave sounds.

Great danceable R&B tunes!

Love Count Basie! This album is full of upbeat tracks.

Great tunes with good storytelling and dynamics! I didn't realize I liked Billy Joel so much.

Can definitely see the influences they had on trash and black metal

Fun example of early punk. Had no idea this existed.

Great reggae! Classic album.

Great prog masterpiece!

Awesome classic rock / blues with Joni Mitchell's amazing voice!

Very unique psych rock sound.

Cool blend of funk, reggae, and hard rock!

Catchy moody new wave-ish. Reminds me of Depeche Mode

Great beats, great lyrics and wordplay. She is the Queen for a reason.

Pleasant folk/rock.

Interesting...

Great rich gravelly voice! Good storytelling. Diverse mix of song styles.

Good blues album.

Another Bowie classic! Good mix of songs/genres.

This album has all the hits.
